Yne Execution OF Criminals.

Suppose all the irreclaiuable convicts in
London executed in silence, secretly, with
no possibility of pain, would the announce
ment of the fact create half the repugnancs
which the execution of one criminal does
now' Capital punishment is just: but some
thing to make the judge and juryman reflect,
to make him fear for his own responsibility,
to make him search his conscience, in theo-
logical phrase, is an indispensable check and
in abolishing pain, and the knowledge Of de-
tails, and personal action In executions, we,
to the extent of human power, take that
check away.
1t is foolish to assert that this would not Be
the case, or that men would be equally moved
By the bare record of the number Of deaths.
Who is moved by the registrar generate
weekly return, or the return Of deaths in
convict prison, Do you suppose that Mary
Tudor's martyrs, dying invisible, without
pain, without report save that they were
dead, would have shocked London int

even now convicts sentenced to labor for life
pass, to their doom unheeded, except by the
few who make their destiues study.-Lon-

Popular Newspaper Literature.

What sort Of literature is our popular
modern newspaper likely to give usl It
would be unfair to ignore the fact that some
Of our newspapers do exert the best literary
influence on their readers and conscientiously
subordinate other features of their work to
their duties as educators. But the typical
modern newspaper, to meet the taste which
it has created, must surrender whole columns
to writers who aim only at being amusing,
and often succeed only in being pert, slangy
or scandalous; and it must find or invent
'snews" items which have about as lofty an
influence On the minds Of readers al the
wonders Of the fair had on the mind of Moses
Primrose. A continual food of such matter
is not to be offset or corrected by an occa-
sional brilliant editorial or half column
speech by a public man. or syndicate"
story by good writer.
And the effects are cumulative. Such news
papers are steadily training large number
Of readers to false standards in the only litera-
ture Of which they have close and daily e1
perience, and the newspapers themselves are
Us steadily being forced to an adoption Of
these false standards In brief, the newpa-
per OF the past, by reason Of its lack of op-
portunity, vas compelled to restrict its
readers to matter of permanent educational
vaiue; the newspaper of the present, through
its superabundance of opportunity, is too

edge of or care for educasiorai standardx-

England Much Worked up Just now Over

Alleged Crimes.

LONDON, July 30.-ECopyrighted, 1883,
by James Gordon Bennett. The National
ist party has been passing througha rather
anxious week, many consultations having
been held the latest of which was brough.
to a close late last night These consulta-
tions are held among leaders, Mr. Glad
stone being represented either by Mr.. John
Morley or by his son Herbert. The rank
and file are quite content to obey the word
of command Mr. Parnell has neither
time nor energy to explain all his purposes
TO his followers. have reason to believe
that it is decided, after all, to bring action
against the Times. 1t is evident the royal
commission, as constituted under the
bill, would be more urfavora
BILE than trial in court, for it must not be
forgotten that juries in this country never
fail to bring a verdict against newspaper
if they get halt a chance, and the Times
has very difficult case to prove. Mr.
John Morley is said to have overcome MIR.
Parnell's objections to the courts, which
are evidently not shared By Mr: William
O'Brlen, VINO promptly seeks redress when
newspapers libel MIN.
There is further trouble looking ahead,
arising from Mr.. james Okelly's arrest.
There must certainly be debate upon IL,
for there are many members upon both
sides of the house who look with repug
nance on the latest proceedings of the
Irish executive. 1t seems a very harsh
measure to dog member of parliament
from the house to his home and there
pounce down upon him at midnight and
drag him off TO ireland On account of a
speech delivered five weeks ago-a speech,
moreover, which contained moth
ing that could do anybody much harm.
Many Conservatives shake their heads
over this act and say pretty loudly, Bal
four is going too far" Mr.. O'Kelly is
respected in the house as ii thoroughly
honest and independent man, holding
strong opinions, doubtless, but always ex
pressing them in a fair and reasonable
manner. His distinguished services in
journalism are known TO many members,
and there is general feeling that he ought
not to have been drag led off by the police
like common criminal. Surprising a
vote is challenged, | cannot say how far
this feeling would find expression in the
division list, for the moment the Irish
question is touched in any shape the cords
Of discipline are tightened; but there
would be some Conservatives who would
abstain from voting altogether. If Bal
four is wise he will check the ardent zeal
of his subordinates in Ireland and keep
bis hands off members of Parliament, I'M
less they commit some palpable and
grievOus OlfenSe.

ENERGY OF THE SUN.

Amount of Heat Which His Rays Gener-
ate-Mechanical Power.
The most satisfactory way of arriving at
On idea of the enormous energy of the sun
is by measuring the amount of heat which
his rays are capable of generating; and
further, by our knowledge OF the relation
which exists between heat and mechanical
work, We are able at once to estimate the
amount OF work which the sun is capable of
doing, and also the quantity of energy he
must be losing year by year. BY suitable
arrangements We can cause certain guam
tity OF his radiation to be absorbed By water
or other substance, and note the rise OF tenn
peratUre which results, aud as we know the
mechanical equivalent of each degree of tenn
perature IN water, for instance, 1t is only
matter Of calculation to arrive at knowl
edge of the suns total energy.
Like everything else connected with this
wonderful body, figures give us no adequate
conception of his energy, and various illus
trations have been used by different investi-
gators. Thus Herschel considered it in rela-
ton to the quantity of ice which it would
melt in given time, and states that the
amount of heat which the earth receives
when the SUI is overhead would melt an inch
thickness Of ice in two hours and thirteen
minutes. From this it can be calculated that
If the body of the sun were entirely sur
rounded by a sheet of ice on its surface of
more than mile in thickness, the suns heat
would entirely melt this coating of ice in the
same tlrne-nanely, two hours and thirteen
minutes. Professor Young uses an even
more striking illustration. He says: If we
could build up solid column of ice from the
earth to the sun, two miles and quarter in
diameter, spanning the incouceivable ABYSS
OF 93,000,000 miles, and if then the sun
should concentrate his power upon it, it
would dissolve and melt, not in an hour, nor
in a minute, but in single second; one
swing OF the pendulum, and it would be
water; seven more, and it would De dissipated
in vapor"
OF course, of this enormous quantity of
heat the earth receives but q very small frac-
ton. The remainder, except of course, what
the other planets receive, passes away into
space, and is lost forever, SO far as can be
ascertained, TO the solar system. If we eSti-
mate III mechanical power what we do re-
ceive, We find this to be on each square foot
OK surface equivalent On the average, to
about fifty tons raised mile high yearly, or
to one horse power continuously acting, to
every thirty square feet of the earth's sur
face. 1t is by this enormous supply Of energy
that the whole world is kept alivea and active
1t keeps Us warm and drives our steam ell
gines and water wheels; it circulates our at
mosphere, and brings Us rain and snow in
due season; itgrows ard nourishes our plants
and animals, and, in a word, is the source of
