The SURFACE OF THE SUN.-In Sec
chi's view the sun spot is formed of a
central region-apparently dark mass
called the nucleus or umbra, or both,
surrounded by O part less dark, the pre-
umbra, which is thin yelling of fila
ments or currents precipitating them
selves toward the center and sometimes
crossing it like bridge. The existence of
the spot has three periods, its formation,
IFS rest and its instruction. In the first,
the visible solar surface, or philosophers,
is distorted by great agitation. Its IT.
regular movements defy description, and
their velocities are enormous. They
have no parallel at al in terrestrial pheno-
mena. The solar activity is produced
by tremendous force at work beneath
the philosophers. and the spots, and
eruption of great whirling masses of in
candescent metallic vapors, are the eff
fects.
In the period of rest these eruptive
masses fall back again into the surface
of the pbotospere, and form a more or
less circular umbra or spot, and the cen
trail up rush loses in volume and velocity.
Finally the eruptive action is exhausted
and the absorbing powers of the vapors
seem to be dissipated, the photosphere
closes over the umbra and the spot is ex-
tinguished. At first the spot was 8 rent
in the philosophers. then later it assuGl-
ed the funnel shape in more defnate
outline, and was crowned with beautiful
facul@ and jets of hydrogen and metallic
vapors, the former being often abundant,
high and bright, while the latter are low
and brilliant. This briefly is Secchi's
ezplanation.-Sidereal Messenger.

The Sea Anemone.

In structure the sea anemone con-
sists of sac divided by vertical paru-
tons into as many distinct cavities as
there are fingers or tentacles, says
writer in the Baltimore san. AT birth
there are six of these cavities, then
come twelve. next forty-eight, ana SO
on The mouth of the animal occupies
the center of the crown or head OF the
anemone, and of all the waving arms
The body of the creature may be de-
scribed as a circular gelatinous bag
The upper part of this bag is turned IN
so as to form a sac within a sac. The
inner sac is the stomach of the animal.
1t has an aperture in the bottom,
through which the food can pass into
the outer cavity. The eggs are at
tached to and hang on the inner edg
of the partitions. When they mature
they drop into the main body cavity
and enter the stomach through the
hole in the lower opening. From
there the little ones are passed out
through the mouth, from which ori1lce
they are very tenderly taken by two
tentacles, which become wonderfully
elongated for the occasion. These
tentacles take up the Young anemones,
now perfect in form and functions, and
very carefully and slowly deposit them
upon the rock around the base and
close to the mother anemone.
The young anemones may remain
for some time upon the spot where
they are placed, but they have the
means of loc0motion. This is effected
by double set of muscles, one run
ming around the body and the other
longitudinally arranged. | have four
teen young ancmOnes, all born IN my
aquarium since my return from Ber-
muda, on March y last, or about seven
teen weeks ago. Their ages vary from
months down to the youngest born
four days ago.
The anemones are possessed of pc
culiar means of oifense and defense.
These are poisoned threads or arrows,
embedded in the outer skin substance,
and which are capable of being shot
out with considerable force and incon-
ceivable rapidIty. They bury them
selves in whatever object against which
they are projected, and probably con-
vey to the wound some poisonous mat
ter which renders their prey helpless
victim to the anemOne's greedy mouth.
The anemone has a sense of smell,
and also has rudimentary eyes,-not
of much use, probably,-but the most
interesting sense which it possesses is
that of taste. Notwithstanding its
righteousness. it has its pronounced
likes and dislikes. | feed mine upon
small bits Of oyster or clam or fresh
meat, scraped fine. Every piece
dropped in the water over them is
seized by their outstretched arms and
passed hurriedly TO their mouths. The
daintiest food for them, however, are
the small crabs sometimes found in
oyster shells. These the anemones
fairly revel IN. a good-sized sea flower
could easily swallow whole crab at a
meal

MARION HARLAND'S OPINION OF
BAKING POWDERS.

Our readers have doubtless noticed the
numerous discussions by the scientists
and hygienists as to the relative value of
the various baking powders. A careful
sitting of the evidence leaves no doubt as
to the superiority of the Royal Baking
Powder in purity, wholesomeness and
strength, from a scientific standpoint.
An opinion, however, that will weigh
heavier than any other with our practical
house-keepers, Is that given by Marion
Harland, the best known and most popu-
lar of American writers upon matters
pertaining to the science of domestic
economy, of housekeeping, and home
cooking. In a recent letter to the Phila-
delphia Ladies Home Journal, this
writer says:
II regard the Rcval Baking Powder
as the best manufactured and in the
market, so far as | have any experience
in the use of compounds. Since the in
PRODUCTION of it into my kitchen. three
years ago, have used no other in bak-
ing biscuits, cakes, etc, and have entire
ly discarded for such purposes the home
made combination of one-third soda. two
thirds cream of tartar.
every box has been in perfect condit-
ION when it came into my hands, and the
contents have given complete s;.tisfac-
ton. 1t is an act of simple justice. and
also pleasure, to recommendit unquali-
fiedly to American housewives.

PERSIAN LADIES At THE BATH

PERSIAN LADIES At THE BATH. The
bath takes mp good deal of the time of
all Persian women. Even the poorest
will attend the bamman at least once a
week. For the lady the bath is one of
the serious affairs of life and takes mp
daily from two to four hours of her time.
It is something more than our idea of q
bath. The victim is scraped and rub
bed and parboiled. The soles of the
feet are pumiced until they are. as soft
and tender as those of q little child.
The hair is thoroughly washed by means
of hot water aud the saponaceous clay
for which Shiraz is celebrated. Then
the attendants mix in brazen bowl the
aromatic henna with the requisite
amount of lemon juice, till a brown
paste of the consistency of cruel is pro
duced and several handfuls of the repul-
sive looking compound are smeared over
the lady's head. Then the hair, col
lected into q mass, Is bound up in cab
bage leaves. Small quantities of the
dye are smeared over the eyebrows; the
soles Of the feet, the toes, the palm of
the hands and the finger tips are also
covered with it. And now the lady has
TO sit perfectly still for from one 10 three
hours, till, like meerschaum pipe, she
coIors; ana it is exactly the color obtain
ed on the best specimens of the pipes
that is most fashionable among the Per
sian ladies. Day after day the bath is
thronged with women, each sitting per-
fectly still for the color to "take." But
they have their reward, for the henna
dyes the hair beautiful deep warm
chestnut; hence gray Ihair is unknown
among Persian ladies.-St. James Ga

A STORY OF WEBSTER.
AN APT ILLUSTRATION OF HIS MAsTERFUL
GENIUS AS A LAWYER.

Boston Transcript: Que of the very
best anecdotes of Daniel Webster, as IL
Illustrative of that exhalted and exalting
character which his mind prominently
possessed, was told by the late ST.
George Tucker Cambell Of Philadelphia,
himself a lawyer of great and deserved
distinction. Mr.. Cambell said that, hav-
ing been retained in somewhat famous
case with MIR. Webster, who was detaiu-
ed by bis senatorial duties in Washing
ton, the conduct Of the case through all
the preliminaries devolved upon him, it
being agreed that Mr.. Webster should
deliver the closing argument. "But,"
said Mr.. Cambell, day after day went
without bringing the great expounder
until the very last ,,s.y before that on
which the closing argument was to be
delivered, and l was IN despair. l was
sitting IN my room at the hotel debating
with myself what to do when Mr.. Web
ster was announced. After the little
clvilltles had passed he asked me to tell
him about the case.
why, Mr.. Webster" said I, sis it
possible you know nothing of the case?"
Nothing whatever" said he. Tell
me about it"
l was utterly dumfounded, and point
ing to pile of testimony a foot deep on
the table said: ''How am ] 10 convey
all that to you in the little time that is
left us?"
He said: ooh, never mind the details.
Give me the case generally and the sail
ent points"
he sat down ut the table opposite me,
and gave him a rapid synopsis of the
case, which took two hours or more.
One point I especially called to his at,
tention. The opposing counsel were
bent on securing continuance of the
case, while our interests demanded an
immediate decision. AS reason against
granting the continuance / cited the fact
that the other side had protracted the
cross-examination exceedingly, occupy
ing SIX days IN the case of one witness.
III. Webster babe me good night after
had concluded and went 10 bed. The
next morning he came into conrt as SER
enc and majestic as Jove himself, while
l was nervous and apprehensive to the
last degree. He began his address to
the court with slow, ponderous gravity
that was SO characteristic of him in the
outset of his forensic efforts, then gradu
ally warmed and quickened. 1 listened
spellbound, for in essence il was nothing
but what l had pumped into him in two
hours and a half talk of the day before.
But how transmitted and transformed,
To give you an idea of the transforrat-
ion | will take the point to which | have
alluded. He rendered it thus:
''Ihey asked for a continuance! Why,
may it please the court, they have taken
IN this hearing as much time in the cross
examination as it took the Almighty to
create the universe"
That represents the difference between
his speech and my talk; my simple six
days grew to the colossal figure l bave
described under the magic touch of his
genius, and this instance was character
istic of the whole.

A THUEDERsTRUCK HUNTsMAN.-Alex-
ander II. Stephens, of Georgia, had
negro man named Henry, who was very
fond Of 'possum hunting-a perfect
Nimrod in that line. Having, as usual,
gone out for that purpose, it was not
long before his dogs struck track and
soon freed. The hunter, having arrived
at the tree, deliberately laid down his
torch, and drawing his AK from his
shoulder, eager for game, began laying
on to fell it. He had not given more
than one or two cuts, when, to his con
sternation, be heard voice from above,
saying: "If you won't let the dogs bite
me I'll come down and help you cut the
tree down" Thunderstruck and amaz-
ed, the hunt man dropped his ak, and
made double quick time for home. 1t
turned out in sequel that another negro,
a runaway, hearing the dogs, took to
tree. aud the possum was freed in another
about ten feet Oft; the runaway, seeir G
no other person but the hunter come up,
volunteered his services to help him.
But Nimrod thought the ''varmlnt' W.
