 Those who have been made very blue by the heat of the last three days will not be surprised to learn that sunlight is blue At | least so says Professor O. P. Langley, of the Allegheny Observatory. He says: My ob- servations have convinced me that we have
 mistaken conception of the color of sunlight. Many suppose it to be white, while in reality it is blue The delusion is owing to our senses, because we have never been able to see the true color of the sun. Suppose man who had lived from infancy under the
 roof of a cavern, where the light outside was inferred only by it's shadows, was brought for the first time into the full splendors of the sun, what would be his conception of the color? If that cave had been lit by sunshine coming through 8 reddish glass in the roof would the perpetual dweller ever have had an idea but that the sun was reds How is he to know the glass is colored if he has never had anything in his life to compare it withs How can he have any idea but that this is
 the sum of all the suns radiation, core spending to our idea of white or colorless
 light? Will not the habit of his life confirm
 his idea that the sun IS red, and will he not
 think there is no color in the glass so long as
 he cannot go outside to see? Habit is equally
 strong with us whether we dwell in cave or
 under the sky:
 MT c. c. Goodwin, editor of the Salt Lake
 Tribune, is visiting Boston, and has been interviewed concerning the Mormon question,
 which he knows 8 great deal about. He says that the Mormon ladies are thoroughly disloyal to the United States government, and this disloyalty is the corner stone of their system, with polygamy the cement that
 holds the wall together. They will not fight except under the most urgent pressure, but hope by apparent abandonment of poly gamy to quiet opposition until Utah becomes a State, and then their independent Jegisla- ture will reinstate polygamy. Much is to be hoped for from a probable schism in the church, which will place the polygamists in the minority. This would lead to general disintegration, which would accomplish what the laws can now do but imperfectly. Mr.
 Goodwin says that the only way to deal eff fectively with the Mormons is by commis- sion which shall take the place of the pres ent territorial legislature, and in which Nor mons shall have no voice whatever. The ap- parent honesty and peacefulness of the Mor- mons have greatly blinded the people of the country to their real character. They buy largely of eastern merchants and are scru- pulously careful to pay their bills. The railroads in the Territory are not taxed, and hence the Mormon leaders are looked upon by the great corporations as their friends and benefactors, and their agents and managers are always ready to say good word for the Mormons when they are in trouble. Large sums of money are sent to Washington and used to prevent legislation inimical to Nor mOniSm.
