A Blue Ontlnok.

Professor Langley. who knows more
about the sun than most people know
about tho earth, says that the sun is
really blue; that it is the atmosphere
of the earth which tempers its heat
and color into white light, and that
the blue sky is the real light of the sun,
unaffected by the earth's atmosphere.
He has learned this by that wonderful
instrument, the spectroscopc. He says
our misconceptions of the white light
of tho sun is the same mistake tho fish
at the bottom of tho ocean would make
in imagining that the SUMS light is a
palo green. We live ut the bottom oi
II sea of air and by looking up through
it get wrong notion of the true color
of the sun. Then by tho same token
the moon and stars must be blue also.
This is u pretty blue outlook for man

Hanging Of the Central American Incen-


Purser Emerson, of the Pacific Mail steam-
ship Acapulco, which arrived in New York
from Colon, brought some interesting par
ticuars regarding the execution Of Prcstan
and other leaders in the late revolution up
on the isthmns. When the popuac &c Learned
that Prestan's death was underlined for
positive performance ON the 18th ult., it be-
came clamorous and loud threats were
made that the man who served as executions
er would have to attend his own fundral in
short order.
For IL time the military party were ut O
standstill. They had their prisoner safe, and
they had his condemnation written, sealed
and signed. But how to get him hanged?
There was the mob. 1t was like making 4.
horse drink after you have got him to the
water. OF course, ~ Yankee solved the
problem. Doughty old Capt. Roundtrce,
the American captain Of the port, who had
charge Of the Gamecock when it was stolen
by the rebels, said he d be hanged ifhc would
allow the hanging to be postponed for want
OF IL hangman. He could take the
place himsilf, threat or no threat.
Sothc governor ordered the cxecu-
tion to go on upon the date named. On
the 18th the place was in IL frenzy. All
work was suspended and the populace
turned out in the streets. But the soldiers
were plentiful, and their guns had sharp
bayonets set and fresh cartridges in the
barrels, and they were ordered to shoot
at the first sign OF an outbreak,
and let the investigating he done after
ward. Opposite the ruins Of the burned
Jail derrick was swung over the railroad
track. This was the gallows. Underneath
it Il fint cur was run, surinOunted by a dry
goods box. These were the platform and
drop. The condemned man was brought
here, and lightly mounted this unique scat
fold, while u crowd OF burly lnbOrers were
sent underneath the car with orders
to put their shoulders to the wheel and
push it out from under the prisoner when
the signal was given. Prestan showed no
signs Of fear, though lie knew u painful
death was in ri ore fOr him. A line ofguards
surrounded the car, and q native pildre
stood near. Capt. RounGltrec fixed the moose
about Prestan's neck with the neatness
and dispatch of an old hand. When all
was ready Prestan turned to the spectators
and yelled.
lam not afraid of death. am an Ameri-
can.
Then suddenly, before the car could be
moved, he jumped from the box, hoping,
doubtless, to break his neck. He failed to-
accomplish this end however. The moose
frightened and it was seen that hcwas chok-
ing to death. As the body slowly swayed
to and fro, Prestan raised his hands, which,
ut his earnest request, had been left UNI
bound, and wiped the foam from his mouth.
He appeared to be- conscious for several
minutes, and it was half an hour before he
was dead.
