The distance of the star Alpha Centauri
may be stated in round numbers to be
10000. 600. OUO. 900 Of miles. Now, a bill
lion means q million Of millions, so that
the distance Of Alpha Ceutauri may be
stated to be twenty millions of millions OF
miles. Let us now try to form some con-
ceptiOn, however imperfect, of the amazing
distance. Let rs suppose q railway train
to leave the earth travelling day and night
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour without
stoppages. In six months it would reach
the moon, in 20a years it would reach the
sun and in 5000 years IL would reach the
planet Neptune, the orbit Of which forms
the extreme known limit Of the planetary
system. The same train, however, would
not reach the star Alpha Centauri in less
than AZ, 600, 900 years.
One more illustration may be useful.
Comets, in general, reyolve in very eccen-
trio orbits. When a comet is in the peri
helion Of its orbit it is comparatively near
to the earth; on the other hand, when it
is at the aphelion it is remote-in many
instances very remote--from the earth.
For instance, the celebrated comet of 1885,
known as Donati's comet, n OF the
greatest comets Of modern times, at the
time OF it's passage of the perihelion was
distant from the sun $4,000, 600 miles; but
when It has attained the apheliOn Of Its
orbit (which viii occurinabout 1000 years
h~ereafterl it's distance from the earth will
not be less than 80, 600, 900, 600 miles. Now
our typical railway train starting from the
earth would n6t reach the aphelion Of the
orbit az Donati's comet III less than GO,
600 years, and yet the aphelion distance
Of Donati's comet il only one seven-hun
dredth part Of the distance from the eartf
to Alpha Centauri, the nearesto of the fixed
stars.-Good Words.

The large number Of casualties from the
storm were due to the fact that the air in
the morning was balmy as spring and the
storm came without warning.
Everything bIockaded and no mails for
a week. Good thing our creditors can't
draw on us, and the average country ed
Itor is free to draw on his imagination.
THE Sun is a little late this week and is
thus enabled TO give its readers a full ac-
count of the storm-the worst that has
visited the northwest in fifteen years,

Chicago's Underground Railway.

Chicago has organized an underground rail
way company with capital stock of s27, 900.
Its general plan is to build and equip twenty
seven miles of road covering the several di-
visions of the city, the underground roadway
to be from 100 to 125 feet below the surface.
The proposition is that the road shall not
only be used for passenger traffic between
the city and the suburbs, but also for freight
business to the relief of the present railroad
centers and the better accommodation of the
business public. At the great central depot,
for instance, it is proposed to build an i'm
mense subterranean yard Tor the handling Of
freight cars, and this will be connected with
the several depots by tunnels and tracks.
The loaded cars can thus be taken into the
main tunnel at any of the termini, the grade
being the same as the ground surface, and
can at night be brought to the city, switched
to the depots and raised by elevators.-Bos-

American Love for Lords.

As long as Americans have a national
characteristic left from the wrack of Anglo
mania, they will love lord, even az Tom
did The visiting lord will always be their
golden calf-sometimes not even golden
American girls will marry him, and, of
course, if he is nice, jolly, laxative fellow,
as he generally is, every one will be pleased.
But it doesn't always stop there-American
girls will still marry him if he is common
ruffian, as much of all outlaw in his own
country as though he had forged check or
robbed church. There's the trouble; we
exercise no discrimination. For example,
there was Sir Richard Sutton and the Dukes
of Marlborough and Sutherland Sir Rich
ard was gentleman in the fullest sense of
the word, and by his stately bonhomie and
gracious courtesy amply atoned for Mr..
Ashbury's unpleasantness over the Cambria
and Livonia races years ago. And yet Sir
Richard was not as much sought after, was
not as highly honored by fete and festival,
as either of the dukes. Surely some one
should discriminate between such men.
The creed of society in these matters is
very simple; the higher the title the better

ne accepted theories of phNology than they
did of the differential calculus They did
not know the first thing about the develop
ment theory; they never heard of the rules
of linguistic structure; and yet they con-
structed for themselves language which
was, for all practical purposes, just as much
a language as Hebrew or Greek or German
or English. 1t meant something to them;
each could understand the other; each could
say what he or she wanted to say, and that
constitutes language
The Boston case is somewhat different, if
it is told correctly. In that case there would
seem to be some structural deficiency in the
brain-some distorted convolution or some
thing of the sort-for, generally speaking a
man who can speak one language can speak
every other, at least after a fashion: but
these brothers, it is asserted, cannot speak
English, although they can understand it to
a certain extent.
These cases, strange as they may be, do not
initiate in any degree against the generally
received doctrines of philology. They are
freaks of nature, nothing more, and are, if
we stop to consider, no more strange than
other cases with which we are familiar

DAILY AVERAGE OF CASH.

when we carry over a million. When we
have a good deal of coin the load is a very
heavy one, and this, with the weight of the
cart and the boxes, makes it no easy thing 70

street is filed with people They would
have to disable me first. There would be
pistol shots before that. Then they would
have to smash in the box on the cart, and
then they would have to lug away the dead
weight of one or more of those inner boxes.
There would be 500 people and a dozen po-
licemen and detectives about before they got
that far The system is absolutely safe so
far as that is concerned, unless small army
of desperate men sweep down upon u.s."
Notwithstanding the system inaugurated
of paying customs dues through the medium
of bank deposits in the sub-treasury and
certified bank checks drawn thereon, the old
cart still goes over its regular route. But the
days of its glory are numbered. Already
fully half the dues are paid by the check sys
tenn, and as its advantages become better
understood by banks and importers it will
supersede the old system. So the historical
cart, like many another Wall street celeb
rity, will drift penniless into some obscure
corner and its past glories will be forgotten.

Height of Meteorological stations.

OF the present very limited number of high
stations for making meteorological observa
tions there are only two in Europe which ex-
coed 5000 meters in height, being about
10000 and 1000 feet respectively. Among
those in this country Pixies peak, which has
an altitude of l4,1OO feet, exceeding thus, by
more than 5000 feet, any in Europe. These
great heights are much more accessible on
this continent than in Europe, there being
five in America where 1000 feet or more is
reached by railroads built for facilitating
mining work; the highest of these in North
America is Mount Lincoln, in Colorado, the

Mclean. Of The Enquirer.

As an evidence of his business sense may
say that he foresaw the tight times Of 1873
nearly year before the banks suspended
specie payments and prepared for them by
boarding every dollar of currency that be
could get hold OF. He kept this currency In
his tin boxes in the vaults of a safe deposit
company, and when the suspension came he
had $l7S, 900 in cash on hand. The advan-
tages this gave him were great On one oc-
casion a prominent paper manufacturer
came to him and wanted to sell him some
paper at very low figures.
"What are your best rates for million
poundss" said Mclean.
"a million poundsp queried the manufac-
turer LET me see."
"Then after a mental calculation he an
swered: "Mr. Mclean, as times are hard and
money is tight and the amount you want is
a large one, will let you have it for six
cents pound"
What time will you give met" was the
young mans next question.
swell, two or three months" was the
reply.
''Oh, that isn't enough" said Mclean.
money is scarce and hard to get. must
have six months at least"
This was finally acceded to and contract
was made Immediately. Hardly was it
signed when Mclean turned to the manu-
facturer and asked: snow, what discount
will you allow me for cash on the delivery of
the paperr This took the other all aback,
but the result was that Mclean paid cash for
his paper as it was delivered to him and got
it for five and one-half cents pound, and
this at a time when some of lis business
rivals had to pay over a cent pound more
for the same grade of paper, besides the in
terest on the money they had to borrow to
settle their bills.-New York Cor. Philadel-
