About sixty million copies of THE SUN
have gone out of our establishment dur
lug the past twelve months.
Ify you were to paste end to end all the
columns of Ill THE SUNS printed and sold
last year you would get continuous
strip Of interesting information, common

But The Sun Is written for the mhabit-

in 1888 has afforded the Luman race 10000
years of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea of the circula-

newspapers, or of its influence on the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
The Sun is, and will continue to be, q
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear of consequences, which gets al the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news Of all the

The CENTURY for March. Won
Moltke's portrait, which is the frontis-
piece, and the character portrait of
Irving as Hamlet, lend a personal in
terest to the March Century. Each
accompanies a striking article. The
paper on "The Next Presidency" by
ex-A,torney General Wayne Mac
Veagh, is a powerful analysis of the
political situation, and cutting satire
on the men who are responsible for
abuses which await the reforming hand
of the kind of President Mr.. Mac
Veagh delineates. There are many
other interesting articles in the num-
Der, nearly all handsomely illustrated.
In their order, the illustrated papers
are an interesting description of "The
New Washington," considered both in
its material social aspects; cold
Public Buildings in America; "Cruise
of the Alice May" "Note on the
Exile of Dante" and "a Hunt for the
Nightingale" in England. The fc-
ton of the number is irst-class. For
sale at all the bookstores.

from the same stratum might allow of
only small trickle of water in conse-
uuence of the crookedness or contraction
Of the passage by which it comes up. A
good practical example of connected IL
quids not standing at the same level is seen
in our artesian wells in the neighborhood
of Honolulu. where the water will always
flow ont literally at height of about 40
feet above the sea level, while there is no
doubt whatever that the same stratum OF
water is connected with the ocean and
runs off into it at some depth beneath the
surface, but there is a column of salt wa
ter at specific gravity of 1.03 against
that of the fresh water at l. Besides
which there is the extra length of pas
sage to force itself through between the
spot where the artesian bore strikes it and
the point where it reaches the sea. In
fine, connected liquids even at the same
density do not under all circumstances
stand at the same level, and when the
density varies they may stand steadily at
very different levels. What is of still
more importance in this question to re-
member. Is, that when two connected col
umns of lava change their heights by diff
ferences occurring in their density, not
the slightest symptom of sympathy be-
tween them is to be expected from such a

Stag around it. The lava thus blown out
is soon supplied again from the lake and
when it has risen sufficiently the process
is repeated. All the noisiest explosions
which have heard on Hawaii have been
undoubtedly produced by compressed and
heated air.
With regard to the statement so often
made respecting steam escaping from Ha-
waiian molten lavas, 1 have letter by me
from the late Mr.. Coan, of Hilo-who per
haps saw more running lava in his lifetime
than any other man ever did-in answer
to my inquiries ON the subject, in which
he states his belief that steam is never seen
coming from Hawaiian lavas except when
they clearly come in contact with water.
and then the steam comes from the water,
not from the lava. From the or1fices of
eruption, he says he has often seen steam.
and then he observes: I'VE may be sure
that fire and water are in contact below .
The late Mr.. Poulet Scrope, in his work ON
volcanoes, made a serious mistake in quot
ing Mr.. Coan in aid of the mixed steam
and lava hypothesis, in which he makes
him say, that from the surface of the lara
current of the eruption of 1852, the steam
rose in heecy wreaths towards heaven.
Mr.. Coan was only describing the rise OF
great volumes of steam from the pools OF
water as the lava poured into them in its
course, and which process was to be seen
almost daily near Hilo in 1881.
Professor Dana refers to the hanging
cloud constantly seen over Kilauea, as a
proof that steam escapes in large quaint
ties from the Kilauea lavas, and that this
cloud often .condenses and falls in rain.

The Profession O + Politics.

Although we all appreciate politics at its
true value and exercise our franchises, never
theless there has grown up under it a class
which is in no sense representative-excepto of
itself-and which has created a trade or pro-
iession almost as distinctive as that of but
cher or physician. 1t is that of political law
yers and politicians. They are the men who
fill the elective offices. Who do they repre-
sent? A man must have rare intelligence and
ability to legislate wisely upon matters with
which he can scarcely claim even a cursory
knowledge. And few, very few of these leg
lslators can claim that distinction. They are
notorious rather for their ignorance of any
thing save machine politics. They are not spe-
cially eonversant With the condition or needs of
any one great branch of industry in this truly
industrial country, and yet they crowd the
benches of State or National legislatures to
the exclusion of the real representatives of
commerce, manufacture and agriculture So
few indeed are the representatives from these
classes that legislative committees are sent
ropffg through the country to CLEAN informa-
ton and obtain knowledge which, were leg
islatures truly representative, could be found
within their own halls. 1t is evident, there
fore, that politics has become business which
few follow for living, but of which the
many know nothing about.-N. Y. Maritime

The Volcanic Problem From the Point of
View of Hawaiian Volcanoes.

Captain c. f. Button, in his valuable
paper on Hawaiian Volcanoes, which &C
companies the Annual Report of the Di-
rector of the United States Geological
Survey for the year ending June 30, 1883,
has called attention to certain phases OF
volcanic action on Hawaii which deserve
the careful attention of all vulcanologlsts.
At page 1914 he observes: "Shey," THAT
Is. the volcanoes of Mauna Loa and kilau-
ea) bring up more lava and dissipate
more energy in the course of century
than any others of which we have knowl-
edge Their action Is also the least OBJ
streperous. That they should give off the
greatest amount of energy in the quietest
manner, is surely a most curious and strik-
ing fact. but 1t does not imply anything
radical or anomalous. But in any cate
CORY of facts extreme cases are always
deeply interesting and sometimes highly
instructive"
Captain Dutton considers the usual ny
pOtheses which are offered as the main
moving causes of volcanic action, or the
power which raises and maintains vast col
umns Of molten rock above the surface OF
the earth-as inadmissible. He reviews
rapidly the hypothesis of the percolation
of water TO the heated rocks, as well as
that Of the original mixture of the molten
rock with water: also the oxydizing or

Communicating in tho United States.

Save an experiment gun, at long intervals,
America has made no cannon since the war.
The immense private plant at South Boston,
where two cannon week were cast during
the most active periods of the rebellion, has
lain idle. The same may be said of the only
other plant in the country, at West Point,
n. T., where cannon can be made. England
has Its government foundry at Woolwich;
Germany has Krupp's immense works at
Essen, guaranteeing him SO much work each
year and further supporting him by exemptiDg
a large part of his army of workmen from
military duty. The United States has had
only unfulflled promises with which to keep
these two plants in readiness for the emer-
gency which might at any time come. 1t is
due to the pluck of the company that the can
non works in Boston have not gone to decay,
but are to-day the most complete of any in
the country, and fit, even, TO compete with
foreign foundries. And yet no cannon has
been made here for six years; in 1877 large
twelve-inch rife, weighing eighty-four tons,
was cast for experimental purposes.
