MEAN TEMPERATURE.
II Has Not @ hanged Apprecisbly for Two
.t. Thousand Years.

1t Has Not c hanged Appreciab'y for Two
Thousand Years.
The sun is the principal cause Of the
variations in the temperature Of the
atmosphere, and the amount Of heat
received depends upon the elevation Of
the sun above the horizon and the
Transparency Of the atmosphere The
air Is heated in three ways, by the d.
rect rays OF the sun, by contact with
the earth and by radiation from the
earth. the first being by far the most
Important as It Is estimated that three
fourths of the suns rays are absorbed
by the atmosphere, and the remainder
are absorbed by the earth. The
internal heat Of the earth fs, 1t Is true,
reckoned as q subordinate source Of
heat. but It Is so to such an infinitesi-
NAL degree that it Is hardly worth
while to take 1t into account The
temperature Of any place, therefore
varies from hour to hour, according as.
in it's rotation, its relative position to-
ward the sun is changed. and the rays
fall upon it with more or less direct
ness. By taking account Of the tenn
perature at each hour Of the day We
find the mean temperature for the
twenty-four hours, and by continuing
this through twelve-month we find
the mean temperature for any month,
or for the entire year. The hourly
variations are extremely regular. but
the mean temperatures OF the months,
in different years. may vary consider
ably. The mean yearly temper
ature also Is not the same
every year for the same place. but
the difference between the warmest
and the coldest years is seldom over
ten degrees. It is necessary to take
the average Of several years to get the
true mean Of any place; in climate as
variable a. our own about twenty-five
years should be taken. It Is never
safe to predict that one season, or one
year, which has been unusually hot or
exceptionally cold. will be followed by
season or year Of quite the opposite
character tD restore the balance OF
heat or cold. This balance is restored,
however. In the lapse Of seasons, and
the mean temperature Of any place is
found to be virtually constant from
one century to another. 1t is there
fore the opinion OF many scientists
that the mean temperature of no place
ON the earth's surface has changed
appreciably for 1900 years. Chicago

Ell PAso, TEX, April 20-Ths- contested
city election took new turn yesterday. For
several days past the old mayor, . Rspub-
lican, and the old council, composed Of
five Democrats and three Republicans,
have been sitting as canvassing board,
hearing the arguments from lawyers for
Democratic and Republican contestants.
Yesterday afternoon, at an adjourned
meeting Of the old board, the mayor put q
motion made by Democratic member.
Another motion was made by another
Democratic member, when the mayor
sprang to his feet, declined to recognize
him, pulled the election returns from
his pocket and announced that he pro.
posed to have the vote counted. A Demo.
cratic councilman moved to adjourn, but
the mayor ruled him out Of order. The
Democratic members then left the hall,
leaving the council without quorum.
The mayor instructed the city clerk to take
down the returns as he read them, but in
the absence Of a quorum the clerk declined
to do so. The mayor then had the vote
counted without a quorum and declared
the Republic in municipal ticket elected.
The Republican contestants were sworn
In, and the new mayor began to

The evening discourse was the sixth
on che life Of Paul, from Philippians
4:1-"There;ore my brstbren dearly be-
loved and longed for, my Joy, and crown,
80 stand fas. my beloved"
This text is from o letter that Paul
wrote to the first church that was or
ganized in Europe, the church at
Philllppi in Macedonia. 1t is q
circumstance worthy of notice
that the first person in Europe
to receive the gospel was a woman
named Lydia. It is a further circum-
stance of note that the gospel OF jesus
Christ has from that day to this been
the greatest of blessings to woman
especially, lifting her from the position
of a slave to the proud place Of equality
by the side of man.
The speaker narrated the facts con
necsed with the organization of this first
church in Europe. together with the sub
sequent persecution which eliminated
in the imprisonment OF Paul and Silas
in the dungeon and their miraculous de-
liverance by an earthquake at midnight,
when they prayed and sang praises te
God, followed by the conversion Of thu
4llor and his family, together with th.
effect upon the rulers who had punished
tina missionaries.
From Phillippi Paul went to Thessa.
