THE Emperor of Germany has en-
dured many more birthday celebra-
tons than fall to the lot of men in
general, but he seems to thrive on
them and they please his people be-
sides, so no one has any reason to
complain. The latest occasion fell due
March 22nd, and although it was the
eighty-seventh, it found It's subject in
a comfortable condition of mind and
body. Kingship is not usually esteem
ed a healthy business. Some kings
lose heart at an early age, and not a
few lose their heads, but to enjoy the
longevity and health Of the venerable
Emperor, what republican would not
willingly be king?

The democrats of the house of rep

evening and was called to order at s
o'clock. During most of the session the
attendance was very large, there be-
ing only ten members absent. and
they on account of sickness @" alb
sence from the city.
Carlisle moved that the rules of the
present congress be adopted as the
rules of the caucus, except that debate
be carried on under the fve-minute
limitation for speeches. This was
agreed to, and it was also decided. be-
fore the business of the evening should
be entered upon, that futNre caucus
should be called upon the written re-
quest of twenty members. Morrison
offered a resolution endorsing the bill
reported by the ways and means COM
mlttee. In explaining the resolu-
ton he said a full opportunity would
be given to offer amendments to the
OIL when 1T came before the house.
A long discussion followed the e.

as follows:
Resolved that the bill commonly known as the

sOnable time for debate allowed thereon, and
after such debate that bill be passeI for the

AT the last January session Of the
Paris Academy of Sciences, NJ. Faye
gave a rather startling summary Of
recent physical connections both on
the earth and on the sun. Among
the numerous exceptional phenomena,
noted for some time, such as the
frightful volcanic explosion of Kra-
kato, the immense sea waves and air
waves which have swept round the
globe and the strange celestial lights
and colorations, he mentioned that
the month of January in Europe re
sembled IN temperature the month of
April, while systematic observations
disclose singular variations in sun
spot frequency and no less singular
behavior of the magnetic needle. Du-
ring the present summer in the south
ern hemisphere extraordinary heat
has been recorded, the thermometer
at Buenos Ayres rising in the shade to
101 and in Queensland to 100 degrees.
In cOnsonance with the disturbed
state of the earth, M. Wolf, of Zurich,
reports two pronounced sun spot max
ma in April and October last, and
only four days in 1888 on which the
sun Was spotted. Though there max
ina were not as nigh as that of April,
1883, and there are now indications
that the suns activity is decreasing,
physicists will not be slow to connect
the terrestrial disturbances with the
solar storms. The French scientists
may now add to his list of strange
phenomena the late unparalleled Ohio
floods, the extraordinary Southern
tornadoes of recent date. with the re-
ported death roll of several hundred
persons, and the phenomenally early
and extensive effiux of Arctic ice upon
Atlantic.
