The scientific men are great benefit to
the human race. One Of these men Of
science recently devoted his gigantic in
tellect to the subject Of how long the sun
will furnish sufficient heat to maintain
human life ON earth. The eminent scien-
tist Is Sir Robert Ball. and his article was
published In the Fortnightly Review, and
affords us much satisfaction. We now
rest much easier, as he tells us there is
enough sun heat to last Ave million years.
That is as long as we shall publish the
ARGUS. It is great consolation to know
we have such good supply Of heat. It
Is consoling to the mind, and no one need
be afraid to subscribe for the ARGUS, as
It's continuance is guaranteed.

Three trips were made by the excursion
lighter, Noah's Ark, last Sunday, between

The Ark was towed by the tug Arthur d.
Several hundred people were carried to and
from the island. The day was pleasant
one, and the recreation seekers enjoyed the
trip on the bay very much. Music was
furnished by the Norwegian band. We
noticed with pleasure that the managers
refused TO allow man, filed with liquor,
to 60 on the excursion, and II they can
succeed in preventing the roughs from
annoying decent people, the route will
prove q popular one. Sulphur Island
could be made popular summer re-
sort, II 1t was properly fitted up, and reg
ular trips made by commodious steamer.
A wharf Is needed, the island underbrush-
ed, and swings and seats erected.
