Various Elements. Familiar In the Earth.
Thoaght to Be Absent.

| In connection with the photography
OF the solar spectrum considerable nd =
vances have been made in the recog-
milton OF the chemical elements present
in the sun. Copper, silver and vana-
dunn have been transferred from the
list OF the doubtful metals there to the
certain; and very recently Rowland
has found clear evidence of the pres
ence of silicon, the apparent absence
of which has been long standing
puzzle.
The evidence in favor OF the presence
OF carbon also seems to gain strength.
and the same is true in the cases OF
aluminium. cadmium and zinc. The
fact that the lines which reveal the
presence OF silicon are almost entirely
in the ultra violet invisible portion OF
the spectrum, warrants the expectation
that photography may soon find there
evidence OF some of the other still
missing elements, such as boron,
phosphorus and sulphur.
But no new light yet appears In
reference to the mysterious absence
from the sun Of oxygen, nitrogen and
chlorine, which play so important a
part in the chemistry OF the earth;
except indeed. that the results OBJ
tanned by Jansen last summer on the
summit of Mont Blanc are conclusive
that the great ''B' line of oxygen,
which is so conspicuous in the solar
spectrum when the sun is near the
horizon, is entirely OF earthly origin,
and not in the least solar. writes Pro
fessor Young. OF Princeton, to the
Youths Companion.
The veteran astronomer, still enthu-
siastic and full of pluck. though unable
TO endure any severe physical exertion,
had himself carried by small army OF
guides and porters to the very summit
of the mountain. and there obtained
decisive observations.
As regards the "phostosphere'-
luminous surface OF the sun-and sun
spots. there is little new to note.
Jansen, at Meudon. has made real
improvements in the processes Of pho
tOgraphing the spots and the details OF
the solar surface, and recent observa-
tions OF tho displacement OF the lines
OF the spectrum at the eastern and
western edges OF the sun, made by
Duner, OF Upsala, have confirmed the
laws OF the suns swifter rotation at the
equator-a law which, though first
discovered more than thirty years ago,
has recently been called in question.
1t still remains as much OF mystic
ry as ever how the great cavities which
tT lNA ,.I ~,
the suns surface, why they are so linn
tied to tie two zones on each side of
he SUMS equator, and why they show
such a regular increase and decrease
in numbers every eleven years.

Animals With wings.

When nature made the flying squirrel
she seems to have whispered hint or
promise OF the same gift to the red
squirrel. At least there is distinct
suggestion OF the same power in the
latter. When hard pressed the red
squirrel will trust himself to the air
with the same faith that the flying
squirrel does, but it must be admitted
with only fraction of the success of
the latter. He makes himself into q
rude sort OF parachute, which breaks
the force of his fall very much. The
other day, says writer, my dog ran one
up the side of the house, through the
woodbine, upon the roof. As opened
fire upon him with handfuls Of gravel
to give him TO understand he was not
welcome there, he boldly launched out
into the air and came down upon the
gravel walk, thirty feet below with
surprising lightness and apparently
without the least shock or injury, and
was off in an instant beyond the reach
Of the dog.

EDUCATED BABOONS.
The Hottentots Say They Could Talk IL
They Only Would.

The Hottentots say that balloons
can talk only they will not for fear
they will have to work, and there GER
tainiy is but little work to be got out
of those cunning hands. Nevertheless
we, read of some balloons who have
been taught to do useful work. There
was an obituary notice a year or more
ago in all the Cape papers OF one OF
these trained balloons, well known in
the colony. who used to act as signal
man on the railway in place of his
master, who was lame. The story was
doubted by the English papers, which
copied it; but we have met with many
people who have seen the animal at
his work. Mrs. Carey Hobson, too, in
one OF her pleasant little South Afri-
can Stories" tells of baboon which
had come under her notice. which had
been taught to ride after Dutch Boer
as groom, and to dismount and hold
the horse by sitting on the bride when
his master went into house; and we
have seen a troupe Of monkeys OF
various kinds taught to do great
many curious tricks. says Chamber
Journal; but in these, again, they have
been rivaled by dogs.
