Sir William Thomas has calculated
that the quantity of fuel required for
each square yard of the solar surface
would be no less than -, 500 pounds
OF coal per hour, equivalent to the
work of a steam engine Of 63, 600
horse power. This enormous exDen-
diture of fuel would be sufficient TO
melt a thickness of about forty feet
of ice per minute at the suns sur
face, says the Gentlemen's Magazine.
Sir John Herschel says: "Supposing
cylinder of ice forty-flve miles
in diameter to be continually
darted into the sun with the velocity
Of light, and that the water produced
by its fusion was continually carried
off, the heat now given off constantly
by radiation would then be wholly
expended in its liquefactiOn, on the
one hand, so as to leave no radiant
surplus, while, on the other, the ac-
tual temperature at its surface would
undergo no diminution."
As to the actual temperature at the
suns surface, various estimates have
been made by different computeIs
Secchi supposed it to be about TO-
900, 900 degrees of the centigrade
thermometer and Sporer $1,000 de-
grees of the same scale, while NJ.
Pouillet thinks that it lies between
!, 461 and l, 761 degrees. c. NJ. Bee
querel, Prof Langley and Sir William
Thomson consider that the tempera-
ture OF the solar photosphere cannot
exceed 5000 degrees centigrade. Ac-
cording to NJ. Saint Claire Deville
the temperature is somewhere about
1900 degrees to ., 500 degrees.

Died Decked in Her diamonds.

Seldom has a more extraordinary
display Of parvenu bad taste been
witnessed than that which took place
at Paris recently around the death
bed of Nine. CASTOR Menier, the wife
of the chief partner of the great
chocolate house of that name.
Nine. Menier was not only one of
the most elegantly dressed women in
Paris, but also the posSessor of a su-
perb collection of diamonds, pearls,
and other precious stones.
When she felt that her end was ap-
preaching she entreated her husband
TO bring her all her jewels.
She had strings of huge pearls
wound in her hair, her neck encircled
by superb diamond necklace, dia-
mond stars attached to the Nalen-
ciennes of her night robe, bracelets Cd
her arms and rings on her fingers
When fully adorned in this man.
ner all her servants and intimate
friends were summoned to pass be
fore her bed and to wish her gOod-by.
A curious idea this, but demon
strating that even to the last her
thoughts were for the pomp and vani-
ties of this worlC.
Two hours after the close OF this
lugubrious parade the lady expired,
taking her departure for another
world where jewels are believed to be
of no account.-New York Recorder

There's nothin' makes our sort Of men happy

And SO with shout and crack of gun re used TO

Because he Iookad SO solemn when We acted

One Sunday night the noise eGsed up, and soon

As each one on us stood and watched the moon

pure and calm,
Thet sv'ry tough ranchman dropped his voice
and stayed his ann.
And then before a move was made, thet young

Unwelcome Pas,euger-

professor Troost, of Nashville, was
a great geologist and ophiologist, the
great gun tat one time) of the State
OF Tennessee. His private room at
his house was full of snakes, fossils,
turtles, birds, fishes, Indian relics,
ETC., all thrown together in the great
est confusion.
Everything Of the serpent kind he
had particular fancy for, and always
had number that he had tanned in
his pockets or under his waist coat.
To loll back in his easy-chair, to talk
about geology, while patting the head
of a large snake twining itself about
his neck, was to him supreme felicity.
As may be conjectured, the professor
considered every one must be, as little
afraid of his crawling pets as himself.
One day he mounted the top of a
coach, with hamper not over well
secured, which he placed near a Bap-
tist preacher. The latter was just
about falling asleep, when a slight
rustling awoke him. He turned, and
10! beside him two rattlesnakes raised
their crestS from the basket Over
went the preacher on to the driver,
who jumped from the box as soon
as he caught sight Of the cause
of the reverend gentleman's alarm.
Out, too, turned the inside passengers
as soon as the origin Of the enlemtt
was known; whilst the professor, all
alone in his glory on the roof, quietly
slipped off his great-coat and tied ii
down over the basket. with this con.
solatory advice to the startled pas

Daudet's Methods

Alphonse Daudet, the eminent
French author, who is hardly more
famous for his literary work than
noted for his rank dislike and uncon-
cealed contempt for the academy, is
a man whose working-life is reduced
to a system, says an exchange. His
actual hours for writing (that is TO
say composition) are three per day;
from o'clock in the morning until
o'clock in the afternoon. The re-
mainder of the day is devoted to study,
the requirement OF material for future
use and the discharge of such duties
as cannot well be avoided.
Daudet is a keen student of human
nature and is particularly fond of OBJ
serving it as developed by the boule-
warbler. There are, 1t is well known,
number of men in high station in
Paris to-day whose lives have been
somewhat broken or their spirits more
or less crushed by finding their foibles
or worse relentlessly ridiculed and
excoriated in the creations" Of this
novelist.
In his L'Immortel, ("One Of the
Forty,D Alphonse Daudet has
drowned OF SmOunereQ NUMBER OIL
men who fancied themselves great
aud who for a time vainly attempted
to keep their heads above his f1ercely
running stream of venomous satire.
1t was in the same work that he
boldly emptied upon the foremost
literary institution or our time the
brimful vials of his contemptuous
wrath. The great Alphonse is un-
doubtedly an irreconcilable in the
contemporaneous world of French
letters; out he has to the uttermost
the courage Of his convictions. He
fears no maker of books of his time,
whether the writer be rival or not;
and he is, to his honor be it said,
generous, considerate and friendly to
those struggling young men who be-
lieve that greatness lies not far be-
yond the points of their pens.
NJ. Daudet does not rush through
work, being assured that each new
story flowing from his fruitful brain
will bring him something like S25,-
900. Leon, his eldest son, who mar
ried Jeanne, the granddaughter of
Victor Hugo, promises to occupy a
not inconspicuous position in the
literary armament.

Lake Currents.

During the next few months great
many bottles will be cast upon the
shores of Lake Michigan. They are
to be thrown into the water for eX-
perimental purposes by lake captains,
who will undertake the service at the
request of the United States Govern
ment.
The experiments are to be conduct
ed for the purpose of determining the
set and drift - lake currents. and
will be under the direction of the
Weather Bureau. The bottles are to
be given out to vessel captains, who
will agree to throw them overload
and enter certain data on blanks fur
nished for that purpose.
In order to do the work systemat.
ically, the great lakes have been
mapped OUT in numbered sections,
commencing at Duluth and number
ing eastward. There are 40 sections
in all, each one containing $50 sqsare
miles. When the captain throws one
of the bottles in the water he will
place in 1t, before so doing, a slip OF
paper, upon which the data and posi-
tion of the vessel is entered.
On each slip is the request that tn.
Snder send it to the Chief of Weather
Bureau at Washington or hand it to
the nearest Government observatory,
lighthouse keeper or postmaster,
to be forwarded. By noting where
the bottles go ashore, data will be
obtained from which the movement
CT the lake currents can be calculated.

Protection from Ride Bullets.

Commenting on the penetratiye
powers of the small arms lately intro
duced into the armies of all the great
powers, Col. Lonsdale Hale states
that the minimum thickness of ordi-
nary soil affording protection is thirty
inches, while single brick walls, after
being struck few times, no longer
afford any cover. The new German
rifle ranges up to 1000 yards, and at
900 yards the bullet will penetrate
ten inches of tir or pine and fourteen
inches OF sand At 450 yards the
bullet can pierce three or four ranks,
and at l, 300 yards a man may no
longer consider himself safe, even if
the bullet has already penetrated two
Of his comrades. With regard to
''smokeless powder" the same au-
thority observes that, though the re-
port Of the rifles when fired is heard,
it is very difficult to see whence the
rifles are fired. Under certain con-
ditions no trace of smoke can be dis-
tinguiShed. Minor acts of surprise,
he considers, will be more frequent
in the future, and will often partake
Of the nature of ambuscades. Very
small bodies of cavalry, intimately
connected with infantry, forming in
action patrols of the latter, will,
therefore, be necessary and it will no
longer be possible to discover we'll
posted batteries. On the whole, Col.
Hale considers that only war can
absolutely decede what the effects Of
the improvement of in small arms
will be. One thing, however, is GER
tain-that is, that the difficulty of
leading troops has considerably III
creased. London News.

Hurry.

If the habit of hurry is Inimical to
valuable work, it is equally so to a
valuable character Begun, as it
usually is, in the daily employment,
it soon becomes a habit of life. In
sensibly we come to eat and drink in
a hurry, and so ruin our digestion or
rans; to take our amusements in a
harry, and so ruin their recreative
effect: to think in hurry, and so ar
rive at false conclusions: to converse
in a hurry, and so lose all the fine
flavor OF other minds. Hurry is the
enemy of self-control, Of manliness,
of dignity. There never was greater
mistake than to imagine that it add
to ones importance by showing how
numerous and pressing ones duties
and responsibilities are. 1t merely
shows that, whatever they may be,
one is not equal to them-that one is
not master of the situation. Emer-
son saws. Goodness and absence Of
heat and haste indicate fine qualities.
A gentleman makes no noise, a lady
is serene. The love of beauty is
merely the love of measure or proper
tion. The person who screams, or
uses the superlative degree, or con-
verses with heat is quickly left
alone"

Hogs Utilized In Georgia.

Troup County furnishes examples
Of every kind when it com~s to in
dustry and innovations. One Of her
most successful farmers hit upon a
plan the other day which, for its in
genuity, takes the cake. He has put
his hogs to work assisting him in his
preparation for this years crop. He
had a large quantity of manure and
wishing to pulverize it he thought
that the thirty hogs he had might
just as well be put to work. So he
took bushel of shelled corn (home
made) and scattered it over the ma
nure and then plowed the whole up
in order to mix it. Then turning his
hogs on 1t he soon had the satisfac-
tion of seeing his much dreaded work
most thoroughly done. The hogs
tramped over it, rooted it up, and
fought over it until it was as fine as

Strange Case.

A case Of temporary survival or =
wound which should have, apparent
ly, caused instant death, is that of a
boy who was picking up shavings in a
carpenter shop. He Slipped and
fell, and his head struck against re-
volving buzz saw. He staggered to
his feet and went to an apothecary
to have the cut in his head dressed.
He said his head panied him terribly.
This was not wondered at when il
was found that the saw had cut
through his skull in such way as to
divide the two lobes of the brain.
The boy lived for several days and re-
tanned consciousness till the last.
According to the common acceptance
of things, he should have died on the
spot at the time he sustained thi'
most remarkable injury.
