Ghe Lee statue at Richmond, Va, a
score of more of eX-Confederate officers
were sitting in the Westmoreland Club

dent of New York City, spoke of the
resolution offered by Representative

appove of the resolution, but said that
if New York has not raised the money
for the monument before September 1.
he intended to start a subscription OF
Southern men and head it with $40, 600
for the purpose Of erecting the monu-
ment. There was momentary silence,
when o leading ex-officer rose and said:

aose and pledged various sums until
within few minutes, $50, 900 had been

GifTOrd's Pneumatic Rifle,

Paul Clifford, the original inventor OF
the Paris pneumatic post system, has
made pneumatic rife which is said to
be wonder. 1t is described this way:
The weapon is much lighter than any
of the army rifles now in use. 1t re-
sembles the magazine gun in that
steel cartridge about span and half
long and as thick as a mans thumb is
attached to the barrel by means Of a
screw This cartridge contains 800
shots, which can be discharged as rap
idly or slowly as man desires. AT
recent trial the ball travelled with Won
derful accuracy and penetrated deep in
to the wall of the shooting-room. AS
soon as one cartridge is emptied Of its
800 shots another can be screwed on the
gun in the twinkling of an eye. Mr.
Clifford says that the 800 shots in cart
ridge can be produced at cost Of
a out pence. The gun itself can be
manufactured for about S5.-LondoD

HEAT OF THE SUN.
1t Is Neither Greater Nor Less Than II
Was Ages Ago.

WAS Ages ago.
There seems to be sufficient reason
for the belief that the heat at present
emitted from the sun is neither greater
nor less than that which our luminary
used to dispense ages ago. Where the
vine and the olive now grow, the vine
and the olive were growing twenty
centuries back We must not, how
ever, place too strong reliance on the
deduction from such fact. Darwin
has taught us how by natural selection
an organism can preserve its adaptation
Notwithstanding the gradual change of
the surrounding conditions. The facts,
however, fail to show any grounds for
imagining that there has been changes
in the climates of the earth within his
toric times.
We have geological evidence as to the
character of the climates which pre-
vailed at a remote antiquity far earlier
than any historical testimony. The
records of the rocks show us unques-
tionaly that our globe has passed
through many striking vicissitudes Of
heat and cold. Those records demon
strate that there have been periods
during which some of the fairest re-
gions of this globe were desolated by a
frost SO frightful that they became
quickly cased in solid ice. There have
also been periods when conditions Of a
precisely opposite character have pre-
vailed. Those polar regions which are
now the perennial abode of impenetra-
bic ice have once enjoyed a succession
of long and delightful summers, divided
by winters remarkable alike for their
brevity and their mildness. Arctic sol
itude, now so dismal and so barren,
then nourished plants and animals that
can only thrive under genial conditions
of climate.
No doubt the question as to the origin
of these great climatic changes which
have so frequently occurred in the
course of geological time presents many
difficulties. Opinion is divided as to
what the cause of these changes may
have been. / do not now enter into
this subject because for our present
purpose it suffices to note one very inn
portant conclusion. Those who are COM
petent to offer an opinion on the q ues-
tion of the cause of the geological varia-
tions of climate are in substantial accord
that the changes have not been due to
any actual variations in the supply of
heat emitted from the sun. In other
words, there is not the slightest reason
to believe that the sun itself has been
either appreciably hotter or appreciably
colder during geological times than it
is at the present moment Good Words.

A JAP ANESE ROMANCE.
How Count Ito's Life Was Saved by His
Faithful Sweetheart.


In an account which he gives of
visit to Count Ito, one Of the most fa-
nous of modern Japanese statesmen,
Sir Edward Arnold relates the follow
ing incident in the history of the Count:
At the time of the fierce strife which
arose between the partisans Of the Sho-
gun and the loyalists, who were for re-
establishing the ancient regime, Count
Ito was paying his addresses to the
lady who is now his wife, and while he
was fugitive from his enemies there
came a time when they had tracked him
to her house and had chosen band of
soshis to assassinate him. The noise OF
their dogs and the rafting of their
scabbards was heard and the Count,
trapped like the royal stag in his mount
ain pleasance, drew his Bizen blade
and prepared TO die as Japanese lord
should, amid circle of dead foes. But
while he murmured "Sayonara" and
knitted his fingers around the sharkshin
hilt of his sword, the brave lady whis-
pered: 'fDo not die; there is hope
STILL" upon which she removed the
hibatch or fire-box, over which they
were sitting, and lifting up the mating
and the planks beneath, induced her
lover to conceal himself in the hollow
space which exists under the floor OF
all Japanese houses. The murderers
broke into the room-a ferocious band
just as the fre-box had been replaced
and the Countess had assumed posi-
ton Of nonchalance. They demanded
their victim, and when she protested
against their intrusion, and bade them
search if they wanted Ito, the wretches
dragged her about the apartment by her
long, beautiful black hair--now touched
with silver-and grievously maltreated
her, but could not shake her resolute
fidelity. Thanks to this Count Ito, the
hero of many another strange advent
ure, escaped from the chief peril of his
career, and has lived to give his country
a new constitution and to be one of the
foremost and best reputed state5m en- Of
modern Japan.-Lond don Telegraph.
