Suns and McfeOrs.

PTOl fTOctor In Longman Magazine
Taking first the extension of the evidence
given by the sun to bodies no longer suns, we
see that what has been already suggested in
other ways is confirmed by the evidence of the
actual eruDtive power possessed by the sun.
We see that millions of years ago, when Jupiter
and Saturn were active suns, they probably
possessed the power of ejecting flights of bodies
from their interior as the sun does now and
many millions of years ago, when our earth
and her fellow terrestrial planets were sunlike
bodies, they were similarly active leach in its

an orb would need nothing like that energy to
eject matter from its interior never to return.
SO with a globe like our earth. The sun must
eject a body with a velocity of $50 miles per
second, that ii may never return to him. and
Jupiter would have TO impart a velocity OF
about forty miles per second to reject forever a
mass erupted from his interior; but in the case
OF our earth velocity of seven miles per second
would suffice TO carry elected matter forever
away from her apart of course, from the chance
OF subsequent capture by accidental encounter
with the parent orb, whose course the track of
the elected mass would always thereafter ap-

such an explosion as that of Krakatoa can take

O;e0mar.ariae vs.. Butter.
From the Philadelphia Times.


Next to prohibition and the lightweight
silver dollar, oleomargarine promises to be-
come the most conspicuous object OF public
interest. The dairymen, representing an an
nual product of S5OOOUO, 900, are fighting for
the entire suppression of the trade in butter
limitations, aud have already succeeded in Sc
curing good deal of legislation upon the
subject. Eight OF the states have passed laws
suppressing the sale or manufacture of any OF
the limitations OF butter. Colorado requires o
license to import. deal in or manufacture the
butter substitutes Seventeen states and
territories have laws requiring the imita-
tons To be sold under their own names. The
other eleven states in which the dairy inter
eSts are very limited, permit the sale without
restriction In this, Is in most other abuses
in which the attempt is made TO suppress or
regulate by legislation, ii has been found
easier 10 pass laws than to execute them. In
some states the prohibitory laws have been
declared unconstitutional, and in all the
states where the law attempts to prevent the
sale OF imitation butter a. real butter the
statute Is practically dead letter. As a result
OF the failure of legislation either suppress or
