A Mild Summer.

Astronomers are predicting that the
coming summer,will be mild one. 1t
is thought there will be but little ex-
tremely hot weather. and not many
severe wind and thunder storms. 1t
is claimed by many meteorologists
that when there are numerous spots
on the sun there is much disturbance
upon the earth, and more extremely
hot weather than when the sun spots
are not so numerous. Every eleventh
year the spots almost disappear, and
this is the eleventh year. 1t is claimed
that these spots indicate great internal
disturbances and tornadoes on the sun,
which causes the sun to send out more
heat.

WOOL HIRE AND THERE.
Some Items of Interest Concerning This
Important Industry.


Naturally, with its great diversity of eli
mate and soil, there are vast areas of this
country which are admirably adapted to
sheep-raising, and whether or not this in
dustry shall become an important part of
the agricultural pursuit shall depend upon
whether it can be made and kept generally
profitable to our farmers That question
inevitably involves the other one of the
competition of foreign countries.
Sheep are raised in almost all countries.
but in few others to the same extent as in
those distant colonies of Great Britain.
Australia and New Zealand, where, last
year, the number of these animals owned
was S4,622, PIP. In the latter colony
sheep-raising was not begun until 1S4S,
but in 1866, so greatly had the industry
grown, the sheep-folds contained Is, 677, 455
animals yielding fleece
In the same year, in the two colonies.
there were clipped upwards of 400,00O,0O0
pounds of wool, which was valued at
SS5,000,000. OF the 1,6191S2 bales of this
raw material imported by Great Britain
in 1882, 1,130,S42 bales, or nearly three
fourths of the whole, were taken from
Australia and New Zealand
The industry in those countries NAV be
said to be only at the beginning as yet
Their population, spread over an area OF
1901 ,0S7 square miles, is less than the
present population of Pennsylvania, that
has an area Of only little more than
$4,000 square miles.
Australia and New Zealand are threat
ening competitors with our own farmers in
our own markets rs sellers of wool. and
that fact is not of kind to encourage their
placing wool on the free list at this time

London Laxity of Conversation.

\ tendency of the present day is the
laxity of conversation permitted by many
ladies in society in their male friends
This evil is one Of very rapid growth, and
has spread in many cases from the married
women even to the girls, who think that
they can make themselves as agreeable to
the men as their successful rivals. bv
adopting the same style and allowing the
same freedom of conversation. This, to a
great extent, is attributable to the rage
for beautiful women which for some time
now has been dominant in London society
for now a woman, if she is extremely
lovely and can get an introduction, is sure
to be star in society for 4 time, no matter
what her position may be, and whether it
entities her to be feted and made much OF
by the great ones of the land, and wishing
10 make her reign as successful as possible
until brighter star arises and eclipses her,
permits and encourages that loose kind OF
conversation that is so attractive to many
men. This rage for beauty has been a
great bane in l. ndon society for some time,
and has rightly been a source of annoy
ance to the younger unmarried members OF
families who hold their position by right,
for it is an undoubted hardship for them to
feel themselves shelved and neglected by
the men in favor of the fashionable beau
ties, and some of the sillier of them think
that they can improve their position By
copying the ways, manners and conversa-
ton of these piratical craft.-London Sat

The Scientific Commission has reported
that OF 100000 tons of coal annually con.
sumed in London, 100000 are combusted
and 100000 go off in smoke and gas to
create fogs and injure health and property
Doubtless like inquiry into the waste OF
fuel in this country would result in sub
stantially the same conclusion, especially
where soft coal is used Our housewives
do not realize that of every five cords OF
wood they burn, one is literally thrown
away, and so OF coal, but such is the fact.
The process of combustion is continually
going on within lis and around us. 1t is
simply the union of the oxygen of the air
with substances for which it has affinity.
In our bod y the oxygen unites with the
waste tissues of the body and produces
heat without visible flame. The rIIsting OF
iron is combustion, hameless and without
sensible heat. Though the supply of oxy-
gen is as eXhaustless as the air, of which ii
forms one-hfth part, yet not Il surplus atom
OF oxygen enters into the process of com.
bustlon. There are two compounds of OK
ygen with carbon. One atom of oxygen
Unites with one atom of carbon. or two
atoms of oxygen unite with one atom OF
carbon, Never an atom and half of OK
ygen with an atom and a half of carbon.
The union of these two elements is exact
entire and always the same under all cir
cumstances. All this is very elementary,
but to those who have not studied chemis-
try it may be entirely new, and a knowl-
edge of these undenying facts is essential
to an Intelligent management of fuel And
it is to be hoped that progress will be
made in this most important natter
