4 Physical Giant.

Since the announcement of Prof
Sunsen's researches twenty five years
ago, spectrum analysis has grown,
Af6rms Mr.. W 1. Macadan, into a
veritable giant-a giant who, if he
continues to grow-and he promises
70 DO so-will soon overtop many Of
the other children Of chemistry.
Already spectrum analysis has over.
stepped the bounds of this world, and
soaring alofs has enabled US to tell
the composition of the sun, although
that luminary is distant 100000
miles. The more distant stars have
also fallen . prey to this giant, and
having fed upon worlds, his unsatiat-
ed appetite has caused him to swallow
even those curious gaseous collections
known as nebul@. His empire thus
extends from earth to sky, and
whatever ,oan be seen, whatever gives
out light. that spectrum analysis has
broken up into its elements. By
means of spectrum analysis we are
able to tell that the sun-spots, which
at one time caused so much alarm,
are craters, from which large hydro
gen jets are burning; that the moon
and Venus have no atmosphere, while
Jupiter and Mars have atmospheres;
that there is aqueous vapor in Saturn;
that the nebul;e are mere gaseous
collections; that the comets contain
carbon; thst the colosed stars are so
.co!ored because a portion OF their
light Is ebscured by absorption caus-
ed by gaseous elements, present in
the stars, etc. Spectrum analysis is
now being largely used for the detec-
ton of poisons. such as cases of
death caused by coal.gas, carbon
nonoxide. thslIium, etc., and among
its other applications may be mention.
ed its use in determining the shades
dsr'yable from a mixture of several
.anlins .colors, etc.

Horrible Punishment of a Negro Boy by Bar
barOus kentucky Savages.

SOMERSET, KY, Sept. 2.-News has
reached here of a brutal crime committed
upon the twelve-year-old daughter of Wm.
Oates. a prominent and wealthy farmer, re-
siding a few miles from Monticello, and the
terribly barbarous punishment of her as
~sailant. The particulars, given the cor
respondent by a gentleman just from
Wayne county, are as follows:
Mr.. Oates has two young daughters. aged
respectively twelve and fourteen years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oates left home on business
and lett the two young girls in
charge of the house. Mr.. Oates
had in his employ a negro boy
about grown. Knowing the older people to
be away from the house, he entered. and.
after locking the door upon the two young
girls, crimlnally assaulted the youngest.
The other girl escaped from the room. and.
going to a neighbours house. gave the alarm.
A posse was Immediately organized and
started in pursuit of the negro. He was
caught in the woods and tied to a stake. A
rail pen was then built around him. Coal
oil was poured over him and upon the rails.
n match was applied. and the negro burned
to death.

THE POSITION WENT BEGGING.

Hon. John Little, at the Eleventh Hour,
Made Venezuela Claims Commissioner.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2-Under the treaty
with Venezuela for the reopening of the
old claims, the three members of the COM
mission were to be appointed within three
months from the ratification of the treaty.
That three months expires tomorrow, and
the commissioner on the part of the United
States was not appointed until to-day, al
though the position had been offered to
three men and declined by all of them. The
first was Judge Samuel +. Phillips, of
North Carolina, formerly Solicitor-general
of the United States, and the second is
Judge Frazier, of Indiana. who was at Deer
Park Saturday to tell the President he
could not accept. 1t is announced in the
evening papers to-day that John X. Thomas,
of Illinois, is Hobson's choice, but he also
declined late to-day. At the State Depart
ment to-day ! was told that Judge Little,
of Ohio. formerly q member of Congress,
had been selected. The Venezuelan COM
missioner has been here about ten days
waiting for the government of the United
States to appoint a man to meet him. The
two men must get together Tomorrow. and
agree upon a third commissioner, or the
treaty is null and void. 1t is understood
that Thomas III. Osborne, of Kansas, form
erly minister to Brazil, will be the arbitra-

The chief sport that many of the lovers
of good shooting find in the vicinity of
Louisville just now is bull-bat shooting, or,
as some of them express it, bull batting"
In the low districts, along Dutch ditch"
on the banks of the Ohio river and other
places, bull bats may be seen in large num-
bers for an hour or more before dark. The
locality in which they are seen the most is
on Floyd's fork, where. on the testimony of
yeracious witnesses, the sight about sun
down every evening is marvellous.
Several persons who were out there every
night last week said that at times they
could see not less. than a thousand or tif-
teen hundred bull bats at one time, just as
the last rays of the sun faded from the
tree tops on the hills. The evolutions and
antics they made are described as confus-
ing to the brain and sight of a person
standing in the midst of where the bats
were flying. They would dart through the
air with great velocity and many times
within q foot or two of the beholders'
heads: At times it seemed as if the bats
would certainly strike their faces, but
when within a foot or two of the humans
they would veer sufficiently to miss them.

JUPITER'S OCCULTATION.
This Evening for a Time the Great Planet Will
Be Shut Out of the View Of Observers.

The occultation of the planet Jupiter will
occur this evening, beginning at 9:5s, and
continuing forty-nine minutes. Jupiter is
the largest member of our planetary sys-
TEN, being s., 900 miles in diameter ut his
equator, his polar diameter being consider
able less, the compression Of the planet be-
ing one-ffteenth. Jupiter is fifth in order
of distance from the sun, and is better off
thar the earth so far as satellites are con-
cerned, having four TO our one. His volume is
about / ,235 times as great as the earth's.
but as his density is only about one-fourth,
his mass does not exceed that of the earth
In SO great a proportion; yet the mass of the
planet exceeds the earth's more than 301
times. The appearance Of Jupiter's
disc suggests the idea that the planet
is enveloped in a deep, vaporous atmos-
phere. heavily laden with cloud masses.
Across the disc lies a series of broad bands,
alternately dark and light, and differing IN
color. Studied closely through a telescope,
these belts are found TO present Interesting
peculiarities of structure.
The occultation tonight will be complete,
the moon passing between the earth and
the planet, wholly eclipsing IL from view.
This phenomenon is striking when the dis
appearance of the star takes place at the
dark limb of the moon. In the interval be-
tween the new moon and the full moon the
motion of the moon is such that the dark
limb is on the advancing side. If, in such
case, the part of the1noon happens to cross
any star bright enough TO be seen. despite
the brilliancy of the moon, then the star
will be instantly obscured, when the dark
edge of the moon crosses the line joining
the eye and the star. After a time. during
which the star remains hidden by the body
of the moon, il will reappear on the illumi-
nafQd side Sh0nld the GEv ha clear fhera
will be no difficulty in seeing the phe-
uomenOn-
