Immediately On receiving 10 nominations,
on motion Of Mr.. Sherman, the senate went in
to executive session, which continued only for
. tcw minute4 II w4s supposed that the SEN
Ate, IN accordance with general practice, had
promptly confirmed the nominations; and the
fact that none Of them were confirmed excited
great surprise.
It was learned that confirmation failed be-
cause Of tho single objection presented by SEN
ator Riddleberger Of Virginia As the rules
require that all nominations shall first be re-
ferred to the proper committees, the reference
can be waived only by unanimous coneent, and
hence Mr.. Rildlebergcrs objection prevented
immediate action Al IL did in The case of the
Nomination Of Secretary IcCulloch Q few
months ago.
After reading the journal Mr.. Van Wyck was
recognized and offered the following resolu-
tons for which he asked immediate considers

Resolved, That the secretary of the interior
be directed to inform the senate whether pat

railroad n 80, for what number Of acres and

receipt was taken for the same when signed;
whether Unusual means were used to hasten
the preparation and execution Of said patents,
whether VI ;as.a the clerical , force employed work

gress.
Mr.. Edmunds objected to present consid-
Grafton, and under the rules the matter went
over for day.
In executive session the nominees for Presi-
dent Clevelands cabinet were taken up separate.

animity. When the vote was taken on Mr. Bay.

Ehs Inauguration 1All ct Washington.
Correspondents say the grand bail room has
never been equaled in this country. The reader
may have some idea Of it il he can imagine Q
perfecting dancing floor 800 feet wide. The OBJ
server looks upward more than fifty feet before
his eye strikes the vaulted roof This great
space is filled with decorations upon which il
woull almost seem that art had exhaust
ed Its resources. Over one thousand persons
can dance ut the same time without treading on
eaci others toes. Let him imagine the whole
interior blazing with food of light from half
. hundred electric burners, and he will have .
faint picture of the scene. Over 500 people
participated in the dancing. Among those
present were President Cleveland and
family; President Arthur and cabinet;
Senator Bayard, Col. Villas, Of Wisconsin; Gen.
Sheridan and Mrs Sheridan, Gen Rosencrans,
Hon. Dan Manning and wife, Senator Pendle-
ton, Hon. Richard T. Merrick, Senator Wade
Hampton, Senator Brown of Georgia, Justice

The Zero Mark.

Ninety-nine citizens out OF one num-
dred had something to say about
zero last winter; perhaps not one n
one hundred could have told offhand
why a point thirty-two degrees below
the freezing point on Fahrenheit Their
mometer is called zero. For that mat
ter nobody knows. The Fahrenheit
scale was introduced in 172O- Like
other thermometric scales, it has two
fixed points-the freezing point. or
rather the melting point OF ice. and the
boiling point of water. The Cent?
grade and Reamur call the freez-
ING point zero and measure there
from in both directions. This
is very natural arrangement.
Fahrenheit kept the principle on which
he graded his thermometers secret,
and no one has ever discovered IT. 1t
is supposed, however, that he consid-
cred his -thirty-two degrees below
freezing-the point of absolute cold or
al sence OF all heat, either because. be-
ing about the temperature OF melt ng
salt and snow, it was the greatest de-
gree of cold he could produce artIfi-
cialIy, or because it was the lowest nat
ural temperament of which he could
find anv record. The grounds on which
Fahrenhe put one hundred and eighty
degrees between the freezing and boil
ing points are likewise unknOwn.-Bdp-

Avoiding Dead burrows.

How to avoid the nuisance OF ''dead
burrows" is problem with all farm
ers who have regard for the appear
ance of their fields. and is especially
to be desired where irrigation is prac-
ticed. or where field is to be sown in
alfalfa or other crop to be mown, and
it is desired to secure absolute uniform
ity in the surface of the ground.
When a field is plowed in lands, turn
ing the burrows outward, the result
will be a dead furrow in the center.
and one from each corner rum ng
dagonally 10 the main one. In this
way, too. it will be found that the
team will do all the turning on plowed
ground, and so large a patch in every
land will be trodden down and left IN
almost as bad a condition as If it had
never been plowed. If field be
plowed in small lands, the result is s.
series of alternate dead burrows and
ridges. extremely unsightly, as well
as difficult for the operation of the
mower and hay-rake, not TO mention
he almost utter impOSsibility OF
properly irrigating such a. field if de-
sired. as the major part of the water
applied will of course settle in the
hollows of the dead burrows and
leave the ridges untouched. In order
to pillow a field without making a
dead furrow, then, commence at the
| middle and turn all the burrows in
| ward. If right-hand pillow is used.
the team will do all their turning on
unplowed land. and thus avoid tramp
ling upon and packing the loose soil.
After the field has been plowed the
slight ridge formed by the first two
| burrows thrown against each other
may be removed by a couple of back
furrow, and when properly narrowed
the field will be found as level as a
floor, and superior in every way to
those plowed in other styles. san

ANoRoMEDA's NEW STAR.
Most Probably World i'm Process OF Par
turitiour

Most Probably a World i'm Process OF Par
turitiour
Even to those of us who are not as
tronomers. the recent appearance of a
new star in Andromeda is fact of the
utmost interest and picturesqueness.
The nebular hypothesis teaches that all
heavenly bodies, including our own sun
and its attendant planets, were formed
by the slow cool NC of gases. first into
molten masses of red-hot solid mate
rial, slowly to 90 on cooling and con-
tracing while describing their appoint
ed courses in space.
The ex stence of nebule or cloud-like
masses of star matter in the heavens
has furnished a strong support to the
theory, but until now no one OF the
nebule has afforded us sight of that
contamination to which the hypothesis
assumes that their existence and nature
tend; no nebule has finished the pro.
cess of world parturition and brought
forth its Young in our presence.
That is seemingly what has now oc-
CURED. The first and most natural as
sumption of astronomers is that the
and studied through ages has at last
given birth to a sun or system. and
thus set the seal of observed fact upon
the theory that worlds and suns and
systems are born of star mistS in that
way.
The assumption that this is what has
happened receives support from facts
| already observed The nebula in
| which the new star appears differs
| from other cloud-like masses of the
| kind in a way which seems to indicate
| its greater advancement toward the
| crisis of world formation. The spec
| trJm of other nebule is that of heated
| gases: the spectrum of this one is
that which is given by solid or mol
ten masses, or by gases III a state oil
| extreme compression and condensa-
| ton. In word, the spectrum OF the
nebula indicates that it is in precisely
the state in which, according to the
nebular theory, it should begin to
| collect its matter into stars.
| Again, when the new star was first
seen it was apparently only a ''star-
| Ike nucleus,n which has rapidly de-
veloped into star of the eighth or a
greater magnitude. Here, again, we
have strong suggestion of actual star
| formation in our presence.
If that is what has happened. the
occurrence is unquestionably the most
important one in its bearings upon the
advance of certain knowledge IN
astronomy that has occurred since
men first began to record the results
| 0f heavenly observations
| Whatever the explanation may be-
the fact is certain that new star ha:
appeared where there was none be
fore. Ii it has not been newly
formed there, it must be what /:
called a variable" that is to say
star whose brightness undergoes ;
periodical increase and diminution
aud if so. its period of var;a alton mus

cess of br ghtness occurred thousand
of years ago, before the date when or

Their Efficiency Dependent Upon the EN-.
pIoyment of Good Teachers.
Rev. DIR. Mavo, who has so earnestly
devoted mself to the work of improv-
ing the condition of the Southern
schools, realizes fully that the amount
of money that can be set apart for edu-
eaton in the average Southern commu-
uity must necessarily be small, but he
is by no means discouraged. He has a
very simple theory as to the best way
of benefiting them. There Is. he holds,
only enc absolute essential, and that IS
a good teacher He does not think 1t
time as yet to spend money for the eie-
giant equ pment of model school,
houses. With him the teacher IS the
thing. 1t is gratifying to lind this opIn-
ion earnestly maiuta ned by SO flu
entail an educator. for it is well in
view of the possible appropriation OF a
large amount of money for educational
purposes By the National Government.
