A NEW THEORY.
Our Sun Not a Melted Mass of H0
Matter-The Apparent Heat

The sun IS Not Hot, but is Probably Inhabited
by Eeirgs Far superior to Our

OMAHA, NEB., Sept. 29.-The first
storm wave of October will probably
leave the Pacific coast about the LIST g,
cross the Mississippi valley from I'd to
4th, and reach the Atlantic coast about
the 9TH. No great disturbing cause is
apparent about that time and the storm
Is expected to be very light on the CONT
nent, but about the time it reaches the
coast of Europe, 9TH or Sth, it will
greatly increase in force, aud about the
9th or 18th the storm on the North Pa
cifc will be of considerable force. Other
wise for the first week in October the
storm will be but little more than ordin-
airy rain or snow storms. The tornado
storm due on September lG was about
forty hours behind my calculations.
In my last l discussed the heat theory
of tornadoes and it may be appropriate
for me to refer to the heat theory OF the
sun. Our children are being taught
wrong principles in the schools as to the
physical forces and these errors are ter
rible drawbacks to scient fio advance
ment. There Is not particle of good
sense about the theory that our sun is q
melted mass Of hot matter, and it is time
that sucn nonseusical teaching was stop
ped. There never was an argument in
favor of the theory that our earth was at
one time q melted mass and now only
covered by q relatively thin crust Of
cooled matter.
The apparent heat of the sun is caused
by electricity from the sun entering su
atmosphere, which, being a poor con-
ductor of electricity, is heated by the
latter just like platinum wire will heat
because il is Il poor conductor. There are
a thousand evidences TO prove this.
There is no light in outer space, no light
between us and the sun, no light outside
the atmosphere that surrounds the suns
and their satellites. WI ere is no sunlight
is no sun heat. The nearer sea level the
greater the sunlight. On Top of the
highest mountains the sun loses both its
heat and its light, aud il uiveS but little
more light there than o, tull moon does
at sea level. The more dense the atmos-
phere the greater the sun heat,
because the electrical forces are
there more greatly obsaructed.
If it was real heat it would
lose its force before it could penetrate
our atmosphere 10 the sea lever. Inc
metals which scientists % in the melted
sun are not in the sun, but in space be-
tween the earth and sun and ars the
substances on which our earth feeds and
grows larger, as it has done since it was
q mere atom in space, out of reach of
the gravital attraction of all suns. The
sun is not hot but probably inhabited by
beings rs far superior to ourselves as the
sun Is superior to our EARTH

judged from Mr.. Cooper's report there is
an abundance-and by reforming old and
obsolete methods of instruction, or WHIP
ing them out altogether.
1t is very clear that until two things are
acne, the rural schools of Texas are
dound to be largely inefficient, worthless
md wasteful. These are first, the en-
Iloyment of intelligent supervision. and
seconly, change in the manner of ex-
aiming and accrediting school teachers.
The present method of examining applt-
can be said to be no standard whatever,
and all sorts of persons with the slightest
smattering of the three IRIS find il
not difficult frequently to break into the
school room, where they are as little
qualified to do any service whatever, or
accomplish any earthly good, as they are
to conceive divine comedies, CT paint
transformations. The money pail such
teachers had better be exploded in fire
crackers, and the pupils sent into the
cotton fields, instead of being herded in
worse than idleness, by Jim crow teach
ers, that are no teachers at all, anymore
than they are sculptors and painters,
Raphaels and Corregsios.
Other topics of the report touching
finances, taxation and kindred matters,
may call for future c0mment.

JUDGE MCoRD'S ORDER.

Special to the Gazette.
TYLER, TEX, Sept; 27.-This morning Judge
McCord made the following order in the of
Jay Gould VS.. the International and Great
Northern railway company in exception to the
masters report No. 100: Receives granted
leave to withdraw excen tons to masters report
No. 100. and said masters report is confirmed
and receivers ordered to restate their account,
and further ordered that said receivers be
charZ ed with said amount, to wit: the sum OF
S6l1, H.
The confirmation by Judge McCord of
Master Campbell's report will stand not
only as verdict against the Galveston
News, but it will subject every Texas
newspaper to uspiciou and distrast that
ventures to take "the railroad side' of
any future discussion. Master Camp
bells report branded the Galveston
News as bribe- taker and as advocating
railroad interests for so much money in
hand. The Galveston Me- denied the
charge in its own columns, but entered
no protest or exceptions in the district
court of Smith county and the failure to
do this will be construed as evidence that
the News had no defense that could
stand the test of legal adjudication.
CONSCIOUS Oh us own OeslTe 10 De just
10 railroads and of its resolve to combat
any injustice TO the roads that may be
proposed in the future, THE GAZETTE
regards the failure of the News to de-
fend itself in court as most unfortunate
Tor the newspapers of the state of like
disposition towards railroads as this
journal, and as even more unfortunate
for the News itself, since the stigma of
this uncontested verdict will stand for
all time.
This verdict VIII destroy the force of
anything the Galveston News may say
in behalf of the roads, and detract from
the effect of what any other daily news
paper in Texas may hereafter say in
behalf of the roads. This confrma ton
without protest is unfortunate for the
Texas roads also, as it leaves them in
the attitude of purchasing newspaper in
fluence, SO far as such verdict, uncon-
tested, can do so.

REFRIGERATOR AT sABINAL.
To Supply the Demand for Meat Along the
Southern Pacific from Uvalds
to FL PasO.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Sept. 20.-A
novel experiment involving rather
heavy expenditure is about to be tried in
the Sabinal valley near Cvalde. This
valley is the center of the cattle grazing
industry of West Texas, and through it
vast herds pass during the season in quest
of pasturage. Messrs. Lex s Robinson,
practical cattle-raisers with ample capt.
tai are now erecting plant at the town
of Sabinal for the butchering and refrig-
Grating of beef. They will begin in a
small way, attempting only TO supply the
demand along the Southern Pacific from
Uvalde west to Ell Paso, aud hope by
this means TO see their perilous venture
grow into an extensive and profitable in
dustry. They declare that they do not
wish to compete with the Chicago con-
Germs, but are confident that they can
slaughter beeves fresh from the pastures
to supply local consumers at much lower
rates than the Northern establishments
who have the burden of freight charges
TO bear from the ranges and return. The
experiment will be watched with interest
by stock-raisers throughout West and
Southwest Texas.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS.

State Superintendent Cooper's school
report just issued, reviewing the educa-
tional work of the past two years, dis
cusses q variety of topics any one of
which is by itself worthy of editorial
notice and comment. This is especially
Gates to applicants who think-often
erroneously-thatt they have in them the
stuff teachers are made of. There is
certainly an urgent demand for improve
meut in this branch of the service. Other
important topics discussed are. the
organization of school districts, local
taxation for school purposes-a very
important matter, il the coming race is
to be anywise improved intellectually or
other, over its subtreasury, government
loan parentage of to-day.
There is also q very timely chapter on
ga more effective supervision of country
schools. - Under the existing tax hap
hazard and inadequate fashion of ap-
pointing school teachers without a rigid
scrutiny as TO qualifications, the need
for county supervision is absolutely i'm
perative. True enough, the county
Judge is ex-officio county superintendent
aof schools with authority TO maintain
gensfal supervision over them, and see
thEfthey fulfill the requirements of the
faF. But how often is it that, q county
Judge, elected to that Office without any
sort of reference TO his knowledge of edu-
cational matters, is really qualified TO
exercise that intelligent supervision that
none but trained educator dare at
tempt? In not one case IN fifty or q hun
dred perhaps is the county judge a
trained educator, end master of the de-
tails of school work. Many of them
doubtless, where there is no county
superintendent, render valuable aid, as
far as their other duties will permit, to
the schools in their respective counties;
but If ever SO well qualified, they have
not the time to visit the schools within
their jurisdiction as should be done fire.
quently, and make such alterations and
notifications, such changes and reforms
as are woefully needed in many of them.
Hence the imperative need in counties
of say, 1000 school population,
of q superintendent whose business
it shall be 10 devote his entire time to the
enforcement of county schools by weed
<Hg out worthless teachers-of which it is

His Return from Europe Mems Lively Season
in Both Railroad and PO-
litical Circles.


Special to the Gazette.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Sept. 2S.-The
war between Leland stanford and Coils
Huntington is about to be renewed, and
this time it promises to be to the knife,
for the senator from California is irri-
tated by his old partners
covert attacks, and proposes to
assume the aggressive. From the
best authority it is learned that
Senator Stanford, who is now in Europe,
has decided to return to California in
the near future, in order by personal
canvass to test his popularity before the
people as a candidate for reelection.
There is no question that Huntington is
determined to do all in his power to pre-
vent Stanford g return to the senate. He
has written several letters, all having
for their object the enforcement of the
idea that If Californians knew Stanford
as he really is they would not give him
any more political honors. These as
saults haYe incensed Stanford more than
his displacement from the presidency of
the Southern Pacific company. Letters re-
ceived here from Europe within the past
few days declared that the senator's
patience is'exhausted and that he is de-
termined to fight back. He will be back
soon aud will make tour of the state,
addressing the people on the political
issues. His friends will make each
meeting the occasion for gen.
eral ovation by the railroad employees
who all respect the senator. 1t Is ex-
pected that these demonstrations will
prove an effeotual answer to Hunting
toms charges. at the same time an ef-
fort will be made to combine the forces
of the stockholders opposed to Hunting
ton so far as TO force his resignation from
the presidency OF the Southern Pacific. {
Should the scheme succeed Stanford would
doubtless surrender his claim to the
presidency 10 Col. Fred. Croker, q son
of the late Charles Croker, the best
railroad man on the Pacific coast. He is
familiar with every detail of the Southern
Pacific system, and has not antagonized
either the Stanford or Huntington fac
ton. 1t is certain at any rate that STAN
ford s promised return means lively
season in both railroad and political ciF-
pIes
