ABOUT our SUN AND MOON.

A NEW theory in relation to the moon
has lately been advanced, to the effect
that the lights and shadows of the moon
are incompatible with the theory Of its
spherical shape.
A GERMAN capitalist has offered re-
ward of $25, 900 to any astronomer who
can satisfactorily prove to him that the
sun, the moon, or any one of the stars
Is inhabited, or that it contains any
solid matter whatever.
THE brightness Of the moon is not so
very much greater than the brightness
Of the same area of sky. The total
light of the full moon can be compared
with the total light of the sun, though
it is a very difficult problem, and the re-
suit will be that the sun is as bright as
$50, 900 full moons.
By comparison of records extending
over a number Of years it has been con-
cluded that the moon has an influence in
lowering the height of the barometer
in the months from September to jan
uary at the time Of full moon, and in
raising 1t during the first quarter. No
effect has been perceived In the other
months.
Sun spots are cavities in the surface
Of the sun filed with gases. They are
generally distributed in groups, princi-
pally In two zones which cover the sur
face of the sun lying between ten de-
grees and thirty-flve degrees north and
south of its equator. Their size varies
from those just visible with the most
powerful telescope to those 100, 900 miles
In diameter.

ITALY'S LATEST NOTE.

1t is Regarded in Washington as Intended
for "Home Consumption"
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Premier Rudini's
latest note to Marquis Imperiali has not,
In the opinion of the State Department
people, wrought any change in the Italian
question.
Marquis Imperah was extremely reti-
cent about the matter and would only
say: "You must let the communication
speak for itself"
State Department. officials, while slow
to express opinions, do not attach much
Importance to this last note 1t is re-
garded here as intended simply for "home
consumption" and to be used there for
the purpose of inspiring the Italian peo-
pie with the idea that their government
is pursuing n vigorous and resentful pol
icy.
While it is thought the relations be-
tween the two nations are not in the
least improved by this latest Italian
"caper," the great difference in tho tone
of the Premier's first note, which en-
bodied demand and an ultimatum, and
his latest, which suggests grievance
and protest, is freely commented upon
in diplomatic circles, and leads many to
hope for more satisfactory relations be-
tween the two countries before long,
The next stop taken by this govern
ment in the matter will probably be q
communication from Secretary Blaine tC
Imperiali, based on the report of the Dis
trict Attorney at New Orleans in regard
to the nationality of the men killed in
the New Orleans prison.

Yale win Not Play with Harvard.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, May 5.-Yale has
notified the Harvard baseball men that
the Yale nine will not play the series ar
ranged for the coming season because of
Harvard's action in refusing to carry out
the terms of the agreement made with
Yals at their recent meeting at Spring
field. The Yale management, in their
letter, state that Harvard agreed at the
meeting to play Princeton, but shortly
after the return to Cambridge of the
Harvard men they cancelled the Prince
ton agreement entirely, and several i'm
portant details of the full agreement
Yale, therefore, cannot arrange a base
ball series with Harvard this year.

BLAINE'S REJOINDER
He Resents Premier Rudini's
Latest Charge.
THE MARQUIS AGAIN WRONG
No Confidence Violated by Publishing thu
Dispatch from Rome.

Fac-similes of the Telegram Forwarded
to Minister Porter-washinEton At
taohes Very Little Weight to Rudinrs
Reply-Narquis ImperiaIi Extremely
Reticent The Next Step to be Taken.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-The following
dispatch has been sent by Secretary
Blaine:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON. May 8, 1891.
Porter, American Minister, Rome.
A series of statements addressed to the
Marquis Imperiali by the Marquis Rudini
was tslegraphed from Rome yesterday
and published by the press of the United
States.' The only part Of the Marquis
Rudinis communication which this gov
eminent desires to notice is the one here
quoted namely:
az have now before me q note ad-
dressed to you by Secretary Blaine, April
IA. Its perusal produces a most painful
impression upon me. / will not stop to
lay stress upon the lack of conformity
with diplomatic usages displayed in
making use, as Mr.. Blaine, did not hesi-
tate to do, of portion of a telegram of
mine communicated to him in stri 1t conf
dence, in order to get rid of a question
clearly defined in our official documents,
which alone possesses diplomatic
value"
The intimation of the Marquis Rudini
that the telegram in question was deliv-
cred in strict confidence is q total error.
AS the telegram expressed the demand of
the Italian government, it was impossi-
BILE that Marquis Rudini could transmit
it as strict confidence. As l have already
faI IN in,
person by Baron Fava, written in English
in his own handwriting, without a sug-
gestion of privacy, and the telegram
itself has not a single mark upon it de-
noting a confidential character. have
caused number of copies of the telegram
to be forwarded to you to-day in fac
simile. The usual mark for italic print
ing was used by me under four lines, and
they appear in the copies. You will use
the fac SMILES in such manner as will
most effectually prove the error into which
the Marquis Rudini has fallen. BLAINE.
