CONSTITUTION OF COMETS.

No less than seven comets have been
observed during the past year, one of
which was photographed by Jassen in
France, Common in England, and Draper
in New York. Higgins states that carbon,
hydrogen and nitrogen are undoubtedly
found in the substance of comets, and oxy.
gen, also, is probably present The chemical
of twenty comets which have
been studied appears to be essentially the
same. There are often certain secondary
which show that the pre-
dominant conditions are not vigorously
uniform, and that they may vary from day
to day in each comet. The temperature,
the density, the amount of gaseous mat
ter emitted by the nucleus, undergo con.
tinual variations. 1t is probable thst the
spectrum of hydrocarbon is complicated by
traces of compounds Of oxygen and carbon.
Meteorites are probably of the same nature
as comets, and gases can be extracted
from them in such quantities as t. be ex-
hibitad before an audience. In 1867 Pro-
lessor Ojlirg, when lecturing upon the re-
searches OF Graham, lighted the lee
t1re-room with gas that q meteorte
had brought from the realms of space.
The meteorite was chiefly iron, and
contained nearly three times its volume Of
gas, Of which s. per cent, was hydrogen,
per cent. carbonIc oxide, and 10 per cent,
nitrogen. Professor A. W. Wright found
in stony meteorite gases which occupied
volume two snd half times as great as
that OF the meteorite, or twenty times as
great IS that of the iron which was dis
persed in its mass. The gases were the
same, but in different proportions. The
idea that the light of comets and the phe.
nomena OF their tails are produced by cleo
tricity appears to be spreading. Zollner,
especially, has endeavored to show that
the known laws Of electricity are altogether
sufficient to explain cometary phenomena.
1t has been commonly supposed that the
bright lines in cometary specsra indicate
heated luminous gases. Professor Wright
and tombstone StOney think that the de.
composed vapor is opaque, as compared
with the special rays that appear like
bright lines, and that the brightness i. due
to the reflection OF the suns rays from the
vSpor. Stoney regards the phenomena as
one of phosphorescence.- II Annals of Chem
istry and Physics.

An CID HOUSE.
Something Concerning the Produce For
wardiug Business of LYON g. Curtis.

WdIUIUR
We all have certain veneration for the aged-for
old things, old architectural churches, old books,
old pictures and works Of art. they are valued,
too, more for age than beauty usefulness, very
often. But an old-established mercantile house
that has been successfully conducted through ali
the vicissitudes CT food and fire, of dry seasons
and flush ores, and the various ups and downs Incl
dent to business life on these shores for twenty three
years, can with some reason be referred to in a
view of Sacramentos business as old enough to
command respect at least, if not venera-
ton. But old things sometimes have to
be replaced by the new; old ships accumu-
late barnacles that must needs be removed before
the vessel do full duty. So old business houses
sometimes apt to get the rust Of age thickly
coated upon them to lead them to rely too greatly
upon their former reputation and early achieve
ments, and thus forget that the world moves.
New men come amongst us and the methods OF
business change with increased demand and in
creased facilities for transportation and the opening
up of new avenues OF trade, and the march OF
events generally thus it becomes necessary for
the oldest established business houses to adopt
new methods and avail themselves Of new systems
and the advance of IDEAS and keep abreast with the
progress of improvements.
The wholesale produce dealing house OF Lyon
Curtis, III to 123 J street, Sacramento, dates
back to 1860, with only three changes in the firm
NAME and each change has proved step for the
better. During the past year the firm has extended
its trade as the new lines of railroad opened, until
it now counts as tributary to its business the whole
country from the Pacific to the Missouri river. Its
trade consists mostly in dealing in produce raised in
the Sacramento Valley including vegetables, fruit
and dairy produce, seeds, etc. But it has, during
the past year. added foreign fruits both green and
dry, especially oranges, lemons figs etc, and viii
now keep full assortment of all such goods at low
est rates 1t has also made addition of all East
ern grass seeds to its trade in alfalfa
seed, of which it has always handled large amounts
It's trade in potatoes and beans is without doubt the
largest north Of San Francisco. The dairy business
of the Sacramento valley is yearly increasing, and
the quality Of both butter and cheese is improving
greatly. OF the latter, especially, we speak
highly, both as to improved quality and increased
amount manufactured, so that orders can be filed
now to almost any amount, and no house can better
answ er such demands than the one under notice.

Mr. Schepp has conducted this market for a num-
Der OF years. and no place in the city for family food
supply is more generally favorably known. In
furnishing serving meats, long experience and a
broad knowledge of the business in all its details is
necessary to insure success. Mir. Schepp is fully
possessed Of all these requisites: is what may be
termed skillful butcher; and, as result, the
meats sent out from the Metropolitan Market are of
a character that gives the markets value

whole time to his wholesale and retail trade the Sc

The earth's fixed surface flee
Alas, Time stays-we go.

To praise your rose and snow -

What backward fate delays
The hopes we used to know;
Where are our old desires

proof that he does more work to order, and hiss
