What Caused liked Sunsets"

What Caused lied sunsets"
New York Tribune.
The long looked for report Of the
scientific commission which investigated
the great volcanic eruption of Krakotoa
in 1883 has at last made its appearance,
and it seems strongly to con
firm the theory that the famous
red sunsets of that time were
caused by the canopy of dust
and steam thrown up by the tremend-
Gus CONFUSION of nature. SO great was
the explosion of the burning mountain
that the noise was heard over
0ne-thirteenth of the total surface
of the earth. AT Bataria, thirty
miles away. buildings were wrecked by
the concussion. In Ceylon. 2,G00 miles
away, sound as Of heavy guns was
heard. Rodriguez, nearly 5000 miles
away, il was distictly heard, like the
roar Of distant artillery. The sea wave
caused by the upheaYal was perceived
as far away as the English channel,
while great atmospheric wave swept
three times from Krakatoa to the anti
podes and back again. Fully one and
one-eighth cubic miles OF rock
were hurled into the air. some frag
ments reaching a height Of thirty ono
miles, while all incalcuIably vast cloud
of dust and vapOr flied the air at a
height of from seventeen to twenty
three miles. 1t is not difficulty to be-
lieye that enough of this dust and va
por was waited to this side of the
world to produce the beautiful phenom-
ena that were the wonder and delight
of every observer of the sunsets.

How to Prove That the Earth
Moves.

Courier Journal.
1t has puzzled the heads of a good
many youngsters to know how the earth
turns round. A German educational
journal published in Frankfort gives
the following directions for proving
that the earth docs move.' Take a
good sized bowl, ill it nearly full of
water. and place in a room which is not
exposed to shaking or jaFring from the
street. Sprinkle over the surface of
the water coating of 1ycopodium pow
der-a white substance which is some
times used for toilet, and which can be
obtained from any apOthecary'S. Then
upon the surface of this coating of
powder make, with powdered charcoal,
a straight black line, say an inch
or TWO in length. Having made this
little black mark with the charcoal pow
der on the surface of the contents OF the
bowl, lay down upon the floor close to
the bowl a stick or some other object,
so that it will be exactly parallel with
the mark. If the line happens to be
parallel with crack or with amy sta
tionary object in the room, this will do
as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for
few hours, and then observe the posi-
ton of the black mark with reference
to the object that it was parallel with.
1t will be found to have moved about
and to have moved from East to West
that is to say, in the direction OPP
posite to that of the earth on its axis.

Whoop At Up to Bloody Balfour

Whoop At Up to Bloody Balfour
ct AL.
LONDON, Nov. 15.-In the house Of
commons this afternoon Mr.. Smith,
the government leader. intimated that
in order to shorten the winter session
several measures would be abandoned
These would include the tithes bill, the
Irish drainage bill ana the bill for the
creation OF a minister of agriculture.
He stated that the government
proposed to ask the house to vote
$4,000. 600 for the eXtepSion of the Ash
bourne act. Cheers from the govern
ment benches, and counter cheers from
the opposition. Mr.. Smith. continuing,
said that bill providing for this vote
would be introduced in the house Mon
day next. 1t would consist of one
clause only, and would be debated
daily until a decision upon it had
been reached. Mr.. Gladstone gave
notice that Monday, when the mo-
ton was made, he would, if the pro-
posal meant an addition of e5.000.O 600
to the 100000 already spent. move an
alternative to the effect that the house
should proceed to deal with the ques-
ton of arrears and apply to Ireland
the principle already applied with such
great advantage in the case of the
Scotch Crofters. Liberal cheers.
When the estimate for prisons came up
for consideration, Mr.. Dillon moved
a reduction of the salary of Dr.
Barr as protest against his conduct in
DundaIk Jail. Mr.. Balfour, in oppos-
ing the motion. declared that he had
never heard of DIR. Barr, until he had
been selected by the English prisons
board to furnish independent testimony
regarding Irish prison discipline. Ii
was through such testimony, added Mr..
Ralf0ur. that the government had been
enabled to expose the foul conspiracy
of which the unhappy DR.. Ridley
oh! and cheers)." Mr.. Dillon asserted
that Dr. Barr was a well-known Orange
man from the North of Ireland and
protege of the Duke of Abercorn,
DIR. Clark (RadicaD member for CATH
ness, denied that Dr.. Barr possessed
the high qualifications attributed to him
by Balfour. He Clark had sat beside
Barr as student at the Glasgow uni
versity. and he knew him as a most or
binary and dull student. He would
vote in favor of reduction be-
cause he believed DR.. Barr to be
disgrace to his profession. Mr.. La
bOuchere said that Dr.. Barr had been
directly responsible for two deaths.
[Shouts Of ''oh, obi He Iabouchere)
did not care for the sneerS of the gen
tlemen opposite. He hoped that he and
they would always disagree. II he ever
found himself agreeing with them
he should be utterly ashamed of
himself. Laughter and shouts
of ''oh, oh.''l Mr.. Matthews, home
secretary, bore testimony to the
high character of DR.. Barr. The Par
neIIites continued the debate for some
time. Finally the motion to reduce DR..
Barr's salary was negatived by vote
of 116 to 81.
Thirteen deputies have gone to
Mines.
The government has decided to
