PROFESSOR REEFS ON the RED SUNSETS.

There was a fairly large attendance at the
meeting of the New-York Academy Of Sciences last night
Professor Newberry occupied the chair ana after the
secretary o. Z. Hubbard, had read memorial notice Of
the late yice-Presden OF the Society Dr. Benjamin N
Martini Professor Jonn K. Rees read paper entitled
Theories In regard to the causes Of the recent red
skies" Professor Rees pointed out several OF the re-
corded phenomena before proceeding TO discuss the
theories as TO their There were three theories he
remarked watch were worthy Of consideration: That
aserbing the glow to the presence OF aqueous yapor,
that atrlbuting IL cOsInc dust, and that finally which
traced it TO volcanic dust He considered these briefly in
that ORDER Diminishing the aqueous yapor theory az ae-
counting only for the different coored suns The spec
troscopic investigation which gave weak rain
lines end wen defined dry-air band also
prevented the acceptance OF this theory
The cosmc dust theory next reviewed but also met
with little favor the analysis Of the particle which had
been collected from and rain water proved them to
resemble volcanic rather than meteorc matter. Pro
lessor Rees was inclined believe that the theory which
attributed the usual the presence of volcanic
dust thrown during the Java earthquake presented
less difficulties than either of the Others He stated
that this probably the greatest volcanic eruption on
record Thousands of tons Of volcanic dust must nave
been thrown into the air. In rebutt OF the objection
that the speedy settling OF such dust would prevent the
persistence OF the phenomena he brought forward Pro-
lessor Crooks theory that the minute particles were mega
lively electrified and therefore not only repealed ~
the but also repealed each other and thus might be
kept IN the ar for indefinite length OF time Finally
Professor Rees referred two other theories cleo
1cal and scriptura which had been promulgated and
also 10 that which held that the earth surrounded by
meeoTie ring above the equator his last ne c0nsOefeo
untenabe as the CLOVIS peIcepbe south OF the
equator as north OF it.
Professor Trowbridge then made few remarks, In the
course OF which he cordially ndorsed Professor keeSs
views and suggested that the upward currents OF the ar
aight have much to do with keeping the particles ss
pended the atmosphere asd thus account for the per
stenes OF the phenomena. Professor Newberry aided
the results Of his observations which were strongly con-
nrmatoFy Of the volcanic dust theory

very large and appreciative audience, and
yesterday in conjunction with Hon. james

Ohio penitentiary than any other living

ses. The two happened together on re-
cent train bound for this city, and to while
away the time went to examining each
others pass. The two bits OF pssteboard
were very much alike and became exchanged
accidentally. The mistake was not discoy-

SWEET SIXTEEN.
Au East SedalIa Secret Society
Composed OF Unmarried La
dies "A Big Rush for Ini-
tiation-The Festive
Goa Barred.

A secret society composed entirely Of
Young unmarried I,dies yclept "Soci-
ETY. of Sweet Sixteens' IS. S. s." for short},
has recently been organized in East Sedalia
and all the sweet misses who have not vet
been initiated into It's mysterious work are
fairly wild with curl, sity and envy. In
fact gigantic mutiny is liable To break
out at any time among the elite circles of
the east side unless every one of the charm
ers are admitted into membership and en-
trusted with the weighty secrets of the So
ciety.
The organization was first determined
upon weeks ago, and an informal discus
sion OF what was necessary in the lire Of
preliminary work, was held among those
who first agitsted the matter. Quite nat
urally, the first thing considered was the
work of initiation, and after several hours
talk the "sweet sixteens" concluded to en-
force strict secrecy on this matter, not so
much to spite the men as 10 torture those
of their own sex who wanted 10 Join and
could not. Severe penalties were prescrib-
ed for the unworthy member who revealed
any of the secrets of the order, and up to
to- day no glazing violation of their oath
has been made. Que young lady, however,
forgot herself so far as to admit that mo
horrid goat would be used in the initia-
ton, but that a wooden horse with side
saddle was talked Of"
1t was at first determined to admit no
one to membership who was not just six.
teen, or thereabout, but little investiga.
lion revealed the fact that if that plan was
carried out it would be necessary to get
some one else to 90 on with the organizs-
ton. At the first meeting held it was dis
covered that the youngest candidate for ad-
mission was over 20 and the oldest was on
the shady side of 35. A proposition was
made to excluded the more aged applicants
but il met with such vigorous opposition
that it had to he abandoned. The matter
was compromised by general agreement
that sixteen" should be qusliied by the
word "about," and that each candidate
should De allowed to Judge for herself how
many years this word would cover.
At The next meeting the FIRST candidate
will be initiated and an interesting time is
anticipated. See Mexico Bill and Postle-
wsit.'s band at Sedalis Fair September 2Sd
to 9th.
