PARIS, January 27.--M. Richard, Cardin-
al Archbishop Of Paris, who few days
ago received q letter from the Pope in
which he was requested the French clergy
to cease all opposition 10 the republic and
to follow TO the utmost the POpe's policy Of
Cancellation, has written letter to His
Holiness declaring that he is unable to
communicate to the Bishops the requests
contained in the Popes letter.
Cardinal Richard gives as his reason for
not chewing the mandate of the Pope that
he does not consider it opportune to do so.
This reply OF Cardinal Richard has made a
a bad impression at the Vatican, where it
is believed that the action Of the Cardinal
is duo To the influenza of the RoYalists.

BOY RuEnrp TO pEArH.
A Serious Tenement House Fire in Ale
gheny City, Pa.


gheny City. Pa.
PITTsBURG, PA, January ga
fire in a row OF tenement houses on East
Ohio street, Allegheny, last night, mar
rowly escaped resulting in an awful
holocaust. As it was one boy was
burned to death, and two OF the houses
were completely destroyed. Near Spring
Garden Avenue there is a row of six
three-story frame tenements, owned by
Christian Boerick, and occupied by
twenty families, mostly Hungarians.
About 1920 o'clock last night flames
were seen issuing from the bakery Of
Leopold Zoch, situated on the first floor
of one of the houses. An alarm was
sounded, but before the department ar
rived the flames had spread to Mrs.
Noonan's notion store, adjoining, and
were creeping toward the upper floors.
Nearly all the occupants had retired
for the night, but they were quickly
aroused, and grand rush for the street
followed. Many women and children
were cut off by the flames and were
taken from the windows by the fremen.
They were forced TO leave in their
night clothes and great suffering was
experienced from the intense cold.
Finally all the occupants, as it was be-
lieved, were rescued, but this morning
the body of young Wess was found in
the ruins. He was an orphan and in
the excitement was forgotten. The
fire was extinguished about midnight,
after two OF the houses had been
Quilted.
The others were badly damaged, and
the half clothed and frozen occupants
retired for the night. The families who
were burned out were cared for by the
neighbors, and this morning were COM
fortabiy clothed by donations from the
more fortunate ones. The cause of the
fire is not known. The loss will not ex-
coed S., 900.

Richard Christian Kills His Father in Cold
Blood - lie Accompanies the Bloody
Deed While the Father is Asleep.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, January 81
Robinett Christian, aged about forty
five years, was killed by his son Rich
ard, a young man twenty years OF age,
eight miles west of the mouth OF Elk
Horn, Mcdowell county, last week
with an AK, while in bed. 1t appears
that his father got up and called one OF
his sons. The boy did not answer and
he then called Richard who arose and
started the fires. Richard then called
his brother and a fire was started in the
kitchen after which he, Richard, went
from the sitting room to the kitchen.
His mother followed and he returned
to the room where his father was
asleep. The young man found an ak
in the room and without word, picked
ituD and struck his father in the head,
driving the blade deep into the skull,
leaving it there. The mother saw what
her son had done and raised the alarm.
Richard fed and went down Tug river
some distance where he hid in an old
''shack," formerly occupied by work
men on the n. & w. railroad. His uncle,
Noah Burchfeld, pursued and arrested
arrested him AID took him to the Nc
Dowell county jail. The murdered man
is the father of sixteen children. 1t is
said that the young man was cruelty
treated by his father, and that he had
been arrested on charge of lunacy, but
proven sane. He said, so it is alledEed,
that he would kill his father when he
got chance. The chance came, and
the result is as stated.

ODe Factory Out.

PITTsBURG, PA, January 27.-There
is trouble between the flint glass COM

Company, and their employees, and
a general strike may result.
The blowers are dissatisfied
with an order recently issued
by the combination STIMULATING that all
employees must remain in the factory
four hours and thirty minutes in order

Measuring the Rain.

When, by the constant condensa
ton OF aqueous vapor, says the Phila
delphia Times, the individual vapoI
vesicles become larger and heavier
and when finally individual vesicle.
unite, they form regular drops, which
fall as rain. At great heights rain
drops are very small, but increase as
they fall, for from their low tempera.
ture they condense on their surface
the aqueous vapor OF the layers Of
mir through which they fall. The
quantity of rain that falls annually
in any given place, or the annual rain
fall, is measured by means OF rain
gauge or pluviometer.
The simplest form of rain gauge
consists OF funnel with certain def
mite area, IL square inches, for ex-
ample, and which fits in bottle.
The rain that tails on this area is col
lected in the bottle, and the quantity
that has fallen during the period OF
observation is measured by means OF
graduated glass.
Thus, il in twenty-four hours, the
quantity collected measures % fluid
ounces, this is equal to four cubic
inches, and if the area of the funnel is
twelve inches, this represents rainfall
of one-third of an inch in twenty-four
hours. The funnel and bottle are
usually enclosed in metal cylinder
taller than the funnel 80 as to retain
any show that may fall.
Many local circumstances may affect
the quantity of rain that falls in diff
ferent countries; but, other things
being equal, most rain falls in hot eli
mates, for there the vaporation is
most abundant. The rainfall decreases,
in fact, from the equator to the poles.
The quantity varies with the seasons,
in Paris, in winter, it is AZ inches; in
spring, go; in summer, 6.3, and in
autumn, AS inches. The heaviest an
nual rainfall at any place on the globe
in on the Khast Hills, in Bengal where
it is 600 inches, of which 500 inches
fall in seven months.
Under similar circumstances the
quantity of rain diminishes with the
distance from the sea. Thus, if the
annual rainfall is i in the centre OF
Germany, it is LIZ in the centre OF
England and 1,75 on the English
coast. An inch OF rain on square
yard of surface represents 4T.74
pounds, or ATT gallons.

Origin of the Organ.

The organ is the most magnificent
and comprehensive OF all musical in
instruments. While the pipes of'Pan--
aside from that mythical parsonage
indicate very ancient use of pipes as
a means OF producing musical sounds,
the "water-organ of the ancients"
furnishes to the student OF organ his
tory the first tangible dew regarding
the remote evolution OF the instru-
ment. In the second century the
magripha, an organ Of ten pipes with
crude keyboard, is said to have ex-
listed, but accounts OF this instru-
ment are involved in much obscur-
ity. 1t is averred that an organ-the
gift OF Constantine--was in the pos.
session of King Pepin OF France in
1877; but Aldhem, a monk, makes men,
ton OF an organ with 'gilt pipes" as
far back as the year 700. Wolston
speaks OF an organ containing 400
pipes, which was erected in the tenth
century in England. This instrument
was blown by "thirteen separate pairs
of bellows" It also contained large
key board. There are drawings of
that period extant, which represent
the organ as an instrument having
but few pipes, blown by two or three
persons, and usually performed on by
a monk. The keys, which were play
ed upon by hard blows OF the fist,
were very clumsy, and from four to
- al -
the eleventh century semitones were
into the keyboard, but
to all appearances it's compass did
not extend beyond three octaves.
the introduction OF pedals, in 1870,
by Misunderstanding n compass b
fiat to A-was another important
to the instrument.
These were merely small pieces of
wood operated by the toe OF the
player.-Popular Science Monthly.

A Theory Of the Aurora.

The splendid aurora which lit up
our northwestern heavens one evening
recently was very probably an electri-
cal effect OF unusual outbreaks ofspots
on the eastern limb OF the sun. At
this period OF the year the earth is
near one of the enormous extensions
of the suns corona, which, according
to the researches of DR.. Veeder, APP
parently serves as q conductor OF
electrical impulses originating in the
sun. 1t is at such periods that auror-
as are most brilliant and frequent.
As usual with remarkable aurora
there was well-marked magnetic
storm, seriously affecting telegraphic
wires. The powerful magnetic storm
OF November II, 1882, decidedly in
terrupted the telegraph lines at New
York and delayed ocean cable mes.

strong was the earth current that q
