TIE COMING WINTER.

The New York Times has been max
ing a careful study Of weather indica-
tions with results that are rather de-
pressing TO everybody but natural gas
companies. coal dealers and southern
hotel proprietors.
Ia the first place, the California rainy
season is said to have been unusually
raw and chilly; and this, as we'll as the
rather short crops between the Rocky
Mountains aud the Aucganies, is thought
70 bea sign Of a hard winter. The failure
of the fruit crops at the East is reckoued
as another indication that nature needs
and is therefore likely to get, cold
weather and plenty Of snow. In coun-
try stores, according to the report, hens
are described as being strangely loath
TO bring out fall broods Of
chickens; pigs are being born
with triple instead Of double twists
I'm their tails; old cows are dying OF,
and the leaves have fallen prematurely
The hunter also contributes his stock
Of forcbodngs. based chiefly upon the
fact that squirrels are observed to be
wearing fur coats Of great thickness.
and the cOOnS and foxes are unusually
lat. Along the Hudson river, in
New York, the thickness Of clam shells
gives cause for alarm, and the character
of the goose bone, rs studied in Con
necticut. is thought to portend an old
fashioned winter Of extreme severity.
The chief reliance Of the dismal
prophets. however, is the trio theory
according to which the average Of cold
for every three winters is about the
same. Consequently, lssS and 1859 haV-
ing been very mild. $500 should be very
cold. But anybody who thinks that
i'm this matter, 'all >igus fail, - iSQuite
entitled to his opinion.

The "Om-Year" Fol-de-ROl.

The :. 900 Democratic majority on the
Congressional vote in this State is cauS-
ing the Republican leaders and news
papers good deal OF anxiety. There
vas a disposition at first 10 poOh-poOh II
rs merely the fault Of an "oif year, and
and As due entirely TO the Stay-at-home
Republican vote, but the more The iig-
ures are examined the more Inadequate
does that treatment Of them become.
There is no satisfactory explanation, Tor
example. of the facts that out OF a total
falling OF OF PSI. 900 votes iu the vote OF
both parties since lSSS $4,000 came
from the Republican side, and only .3,-
600 from the Democratic side. The
falling oil was not greater, but less than
| IL usually is on the first election after a
presidential year; and what was most
unusual about il was the great diSpro-
portion of the Republican share in il.
/ This. 81 itself, is fatal TO the ''Otf-year
I theory. but that theory is demolished
/ i'm another way by letter which We
publish in another column giving cOm-
harrison between the total congressional
vote of both parties this year and that
Of the last preceding ot-year, 1856.
From this il appears that while the
Democrats have increased their vote by
over G3. 600. the Republicans have tie
creased theirs by over 10000. Why
should 81. 900 more Republican stay al
home i'm $500 than stayed at home IN
lSSG? And why should $4,000 more
Democrats come out this year than came
out four years ago.

TIE suns HEAT.
Meteors Play AN Important Part in
Creating and Maintaining 10.
cool IOrdS

pointed out that when Il shooting
star daSheS into our atmosphere its
course is attended with an evolution of
light and heat owing TO its friction
through the air. We were thus able to
account for the enormous quantity OF
heat or OF what was equivalent TO heat,
which existed by virtue of the rapid mo-
tiOn of these little bodies. OF course,
we only see these meteOrS at that SUI
preme moment Of their dissolution
when they dash into our atmosphere.
IL is, however, impossible TO doubt that
there must be uncOunted shoals of
meteOrS which never collide with our
earth. Ii must necessarily happen that
many of the other great globes in our
system must. like our globe, absorb
multitudeS of meteOrS which they chance
10 encounter in their rOamingS. The
number of mcteOrS that will be gath
cred By a globe will be doubtless greater
the larger aud more massive be the
globe, and this for a double reason. In
the first place, the dimensions of the
net which the globe extends to entrap
the meteors will. of course, increase
with its size. but in addition the more
massive be the globe the more vehe-
ment will be its attraction and the great
er will be the number OF the meteOrS
that are drawn into its extensive at
lmOSphere. OF course this reasoning
will apply in special degree to the
sun. We shall PROBABLY be correct in
the assertion that Tor every meteor
that deScends upon this earth at least
million meteorS will descend upon the
sun.
IL has been cOnjectured that the fric-
ton of the mcteOrS which are iaceSsant-
| IL rushing into the sun may produce
/ light and heat in sufficient quantities 10
aid In the maintenance OF the suns or
binary expenditure. Ii has been even
supposed that the quantity of energy
thus generated may supply all that is
wanted TO explain the extraordinary cir
cumstancc that from age tOage no visible
decline has taken place in the intensity
of the solar radiation. Here again is i
question which We must submit to cal
culatiOn. We have first Of all TO deter
mine the heat which could be gcncr-
ated by body. of let us say, pound in
weight, falling into the sun after hay
ing been attracted thither from an IN
definitely great distance. The result is
not 4 little startling; it shows Us that
such a body in the course of its friction
through the suns atmosphere might
generate Is mnch heat rs could be- pro-
duccd by the combustion OF many times
its own weight of coal consumed under
the most fay crablo conditions.

SIR:-In the issue OF your paper to-
day you give an account of the strike
here. Your correspondent says the men
still can make from $3.50 TO 81 per
day. Now the price the company offers
is 49, cents for room coal, and "A =
cents for heading coal, so to make 81
Il day man would have to load over ~
tons of coal IN a room. The men here
following the machines in the mine can
not make - per day if they go in at

they have never had that yet.

A VERY important and interesting
meeting Of the special committee oil
Council called to discuss the question OF
what legislation for the general good OF
the city il was necessary to ask OF the
Legislature at its coming session, was
held last night. a full report OF the
proceedings will be found elsewhere.
The committee was decidedly In favor
OF the REGISTERS suggestion that the
Chief Of Police be made Ineligible as his
own successor. his term Of office made
four wears instead Of two, and
the power Of appointing his depu-
ties-in other words, the power Of
removing and appointing policemen Tor
political rcasons-be taken out Of his
hands. The REGISTER some time ago
suggested also, that the Chief Of Police
be made an appointive instead OF an
elective officer. and this point was also
brought out. The whole question went
over for further consideration. There
was large attendance at the meeting
and much interest manifested In the
proceedings, which were lengthy aud
characterized by manifest desire 10

thing. Whatever legislation may be
