TIE YALE AND TOWYE STRIKE.

TO tho Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir dispatch dated Stamford, July q in your is
Of the Sd, gives erroneous impression regarding
the difficulty in brass foundry by stating that all
of employees have gone strike. The fact is that
out Of nearly 900 employees all at work excepting
some twenty six brass mouder. The latter have
fit to leave our employ, not because Of any disagree
ment either to wages or hours but because one Of
their number had been discharged for persistent viola
ton Of a reasonable rule, which had never been
throughout the works The person discharged did not
desire strike to be made his account and has ex
pressed regret at its occurrence the point at issue is
Simply as to whether the companys rules shall or
shall not be respected and TO whether the company
has has not the right to decide whether 1t Will re-
tain in its service person who chooses to violate the
rules. The issue is purely local one, and has no
general significance. Yours respectfully.

COMFORT FOR CHICAGO.
From The Milwaukee Sentinel.

From The Milwaukee sentinel
There is nothing moro attractive than study Of the
achievements Of science. Not merely because the dis
coveries Of science many. but because they are
always true for truth IS the very essence OF science
We have learned that the heat OF the sun Is due partly
10 the process OF contraction 1t is undergoing and
partly to its being fed by wandering meteoric bodies
drawn into it. When the body OF the sun was lsrger
and when meteorlc bodies were more numerous, there
used to be hot weather but for uncounted cons the
sun has been coing down and our summers growing
cooer-the earth IS approaching that frgd state that
belongs to planetary death. 49, -.
Then again. the Inconsistency of the earths orbit
is cause of cool summers. At times there Is such
collocaon Of the planets as TO pull the earth from
the sun and TO increase the ellptcity OF It's orbit
The indefatigabe calculator, Mr. Cro has shown that
so 900 years ago the earth's orbit was more circular
than it is now-that the earths average position was
nearer the sun-and that the elipticty Is becoming
greater and that therefore average distance from
the sun Is increasing This Is why the weather Is no
longer oppressively warm. no,
With the mercury at 90 degrees In the shade. with
persons and horses falling from sunstroke with people
painting and hanging out their tongues and pouring ice
water down their husky threats, there Is no more
agreeable occupation for the thoughtful mind than 10
pursue the discoveries and conclusions OF science
