Solar Rice.(Irains.

The telescope shows the general sur
face of the sun as formed of multitu-
dinous small round objects, intensely
bright, ON background which,
though really bright, appears by con-
trast dark. These objects are only
small in the sense that they look small
as seen even with the most powerful
telescopes. In reality, they average
two or three hundred miles in length
and breadth. Regarding those of
nearly circular form as in reality spher-
ical, the surface of one of thes clouds,
(if so we are to regard them,) two hum
dred miles in diameter, would be about
1850 square miles; so that, in COM
parison with all such terrestrial objects
as we can actually see and measure,
they are of enormous size. Now, we
can readily form an opinion as to the
nature of these cloud-like masses-the
so-called solar rice-grains- consider
ing what the spectroscope has told us
about the vaporous atmosphere in which
they float. This complex atmosphere
indicates its presence alike in telescope
survey of the sun and in photographs of
his disk by the well-marked darkening
toward the suns edge. Analyzed by
the spectroscope, it is found to contain
the vapors of iron, copper, zinc, alumni
num- titanium, sodium, magnesium,
and many other terrestrial elements,
chiefly metallic. In other words, in the
atmosphere of the sun the metals have
the same position which the vapors of
water have in our own air; so intense is
the heat of the sun that iron, copper,
zinc, etc. doubtless, in reality, all the
metals, though not all in sufficient guam
tity to indicate their presence,) are
turned to the form of vapor The
clouds, then, that float in the atmos-
phere of the sun are clouds in which
drops of metal play the same part
which drops of water play in our own
clouds. We may describe the solar
rice-grains, in fact, as mighty metallic
clouds. LOnq4ndn's Mdqdzirse.

Silent Women.

The scientific world is now agitated
by the subject of the evolution of silent
women. Up to date they have generally
been classified with the peculiar species
known as white black-birds and black
swans. The question is now, whether
the few specimens that are found are
signs of a new and unheard of type of
women, or whether they are mere
freaks of nature, exceptions to rule
and no more prophetic of a species of
silent women, than the Siamese twins,
skeleton men, fat women, six-leged
calves, and other curiosities, are signi.
ficant of race of such creatures.
Silent women do not seem to be pc
culiar to any section or climate; nor
are they indigenous to any special local
ity. Sometimes they are found in cities,
whore people necessarily do good deal
of talking, sometimes in the agricultural
regions, where talking is mainly con-
fined to the sewing circle, or to the Sun
day noon gossip between morning and
afternoon service. Two of the largest
cities of the country, New York and
Cincinnati, are Just now furnishing the
two most perfect specimens of the new
species extant--that, is if it is a new
species; if it is freak of nature, they
still hold their own as profitable invest
ments of a dime museum.
One, whom we have already referred
to, is witness in will case in New York.
She is an old servant of the man whose
will is contested; and, when put in the
witness box, loudly announced her reso-
luton "to keep still" not to say a
word, and that it was no use asking her
anything. She sat back in her chair and
read "A Christians Secret. or a Happy
Life" and shook her head, said she
wouldn't answer a question NOT one;
that she needed all her breath for some
thing else; that they could lock her up
to the day of Judgment if they wanted
to; itwould not make bit CT difference,
and for two or more days held out in
her determination.
A Chicago woman has not spoken tc
her husband for two years, and the fell
low actually wants a divorce from her
But that's the way in this world Hun
dreds of men instead of divorcing hei
would be clad to marry her. 1t IS like
the two men who were telling each othel
why they joined the army and went tC
war. One because his wife never had
buckwheat cakes; the other because hi,
wife wouldn't give him anything else
The Chicago wife's only mode OF com,
munication was writing notes and leav
ing them about. Her husband says he
would have given all he had and trudgec
home on foot to save car fare, for one
kind, sympathetic word from her. He
lit her lamp and warmed her foot stove
but no word came. He went to Toronto
to the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd
Fellows and she locked herself in her
room so as not to bid him good bye.
She would rattle dish to call him tc
dinner and then, putting hers upon q
separate plate, walk away with it.
Everything which some husbands would
crave as a sweet boon in their wives,
this man esteems thorn and q
grievance.
So little credence do the ordinary
minds of the country put in the notion
that a silent woman may be regular
and healthy development of nature that
both of these are called insane, Detroit
