The Age Of the stars.

? A very interesting address delivered at the annual public session of the five academies of France, October 25, 1887, by M Jannseu, the observatory at Meudon, France, is published in the December number of Ciel ct Terre and the January and February numbers of L'AStrenomie. The principal thought is that the idea of evolution may be applied to the stars as well as to terrestrial things. The stars are no; fixed and eternal, but are subject to change and time. They have a be- ginning, period ofactivity, a decline, and an end. By recent advances in the study of celestial physics, especial- ly with the spectroscope, we are ena- bed to know something of the actual condition ard relati1s age of some If the stars. We may assume that the age of stars, other things being equal, will depend upon their temperature, and that their temperatures are high CT in proportion as their spectra are richer in violet rays. The majority of the stars which are visible to the naked eye are white CT Lluish. and therefore at d high temperature; but many are yellow or orange, like our sun, showing that they have passed thelr youth, while others are from dark orange to dark red, showing that their sidereal evolution Is far ad- vanced. -Sidereal Messenger.

Ths Psrreclsa Pasapgraph.

The improvements In the phono- graph have now been carried to such degree of perfection that the instru ment Is practically ready for general introduction. Undoubtedly means will be hit upon from tune to time to enhance the value and efficiency of the phonograph, but it stands to-day, in our opinion, far more practical and complete than was the type writer when fifst brought out and placed on the market. Back of all the tall talk and exaggeration en tie subject, for which the daily press is chiefly respon- slble- certainly not those who are in troduclng it-is machino of admira- ble performance, whose utility Is so wide and various that It is hard to de- termine just which work will give 1t the largest fields of employment. And then, too, as15e from the practical use, Is the wonder-for wonder it is-that not only can the hufpan voice be reg
 ted, but it can iUe duplicated in countless electrotypes. We may be wrongs but not greatly, in believing that this century will be memorable above others because It is that which first preserved articulate speech for after time. All poetry, of every age, is full of yearning, one of the deepest in human nature, for the voice whose gentle greeting could be heard no more, and yet this tender sentiment will be gratifed, and each elusive tone and accent now has conferred on It a perpetuity that is rot an attribute of even the graven stone or brass.-Elec- trical World.

 Precious metal mining would be more popular than it now is if inves- tors would cease toregard it as a spec. ulatiou and treat it as productive industry.

Proximity to or remoteness from market, too much or too little water, complex or free, wet or dry ores, all are factors that should be considered, and disaster is reasonably sure to fol- low whsn they are net. There is a bottom as well as top to all ore bodies, and the top IS the best, not withstanding the fact that the top price of mine securities and the bot tom of ore bodies are generally reached at about the same time. It is what Is, and not what has been. in a mine that makes it valuable. property. Yes. St. Louis has made some bad in vestmentS in mines. but It has made many good ones. That last is made clear by the fact that her citizens re- ceived last year, in the form of dlvi- dends paid by the gold and silver mines of the Rocky Mountains, more money than was pad in dividends by the New York Central or the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway the year preceding. 1 presume the mine of St. Louisans approx1- mate $2,O00,O00, while the capital stock of the great railways named ex- ceeds S6O,Oo0,O0o.

Sonora is fast coming to the front with its mining industry. There are at present eleven mills working all the way from five to seventy stamps each, and two more of twenty stamps each, in course of erection. Strange as it may appear there IS not single Mexican company among the whole lot, inc greater portion of them being Amer1cans, the rest English. The ores worked in Sonora must be suf- ticiently high grade not only to pay all extracting and working expenses, but also to pay the Il per cent duty demanded by the Mexican government on exported precious metals, to say nothing of a return of the principal. This showing certainly evidences well for Sonora as mineral producing State.-El Paso Tribune.

However imperfect the relics of prehistoric men may be, the evidence which they afford clearly tends to tho ccuclusioTt hsssfor thous- ands and thousands of years, before the origin of the oldest known civili- zation, men were savages of the very lowest type. They strofe with their enemles and thelr competitors; they preyed upon things weaker or less cunning than themselves; they were born, multiplied without stint and died, for thousands of generations, alongside the mammoth, the uruS, the lon and the hyena, whose lives were spent in the same way, and they were no more 10 bs praised or blamed, on moral grounds, than their less erect and more harry eolnpatriots. As among these, so among primitive men. the weakest and stupidest went to the wall, while the toughest and shrewd- est, thoss who were best fitted to cope with their circumstances, but not thp best in any other sense, survived.

Smoke in War.

Smoke will certainly play an impor- tant part in the warfare of the future Last year at Milford Haven and this year at Langstone Harbor 1t was ar tificially created in large quantities, Tn order to form screens behind winch attacking forces might, unobserved, approach within range efforts and bat terieS. On each occasion rafts laden with combusJibles were set on fire and floated into positions from which the wind carried the smoke in a more or less dense cloud in the direction of the defense.
 On the other hand, ever since the introduction of modern ordnance and rapid rife fire, it has been felt that the huge volumes of smoke which would be belched forth during a battle ot the present day would proDaJly prevent the use of big guns to che best advan- rage. Smoke. in fact .a3v, according to circumstances, be either great as slstance or grave iApediment in war fare. The ideal state of things is, Of course, one in which the production of smoke shall Ge controlled, so that either clear atmosphere OF clouded one may, as need may arise, be created around battery or ship in actIon.
 This ideal has now, to some extent, been attalned. It is found that smoke, as it issues from the muzzle of heavy gun, can be almost instantaneousIy precipitated by means of single cleo trical apparatus. The invention IS based upon the researches of Professor TyndalI, Lord Raylelgh and Professor Lodge in the action of electricity, and it should be of considerable military value.-St. James Gazette.

Edward Atkinson, the distinguished statiSticlan and political economist, has been telling the country, through one of the magazines, that there can be no such thing as surplus in the Treasury while the Government has a big debt. This may strike the states men of the Cleveland and Mills school as heresy, but it is gospel truth never thelesS. The Government owes about $95O 100000 on 4 and 4 per cent bonds, and S356,OOO.OOO on greenbacks. Under such circumstances to call the SlOO,9OO,0O0 or $11O000,0OO a "sur- plus" which is dignl6ed by that name by the Treasury officials is as absurd as It would bo to say that merchant having S1O0 in his till was ahead" to that extent in his buslness if there were S12OO or $500 Tn time and de- nand notes outstanding against him.
