The Formation OF Heat.

n. Lagrange has communicable the
Belgian academy paper On the forlna-
ton of bodies in the universe. In this
paper he expresses the opinion that, be-
fore any expenditure Of work, the guam
tity of heat of the universe was nil, that
tho tempera ture was gradually raised
above absolute zero at tho expense OF
work dono by attraction, and hence tho
formation of solid bodies must have pre-
coded that of liquids and gases; that,
through the gradual condensation Of
matter and consequent enormous devel-
oplnent of heat, the earth would attain.
at leastin the parts near the surface, the
state of fuidity necessary TO its form and
geological characters; then, as the tenn
perature gradually rose with gradual
agglolneration Of matter, II very dense
atmosphere would form, with pressure
diminishing outward, and in n more ad-
vanced phase, the temperature of this,
after reaching maximum. would grldu-
ally diminish, causing liquefaction or So
lidihcation Of certain matters at first
vaporous, while other solid bodies might
remain suspended in the atmosphere.
Briefly. NJ. Lagrange, in calculation
of the basis OF his original and remarka-
BILE theory, as thus set forth, declares
that space is occupied by twa substances.
namely: One. attractive, which is mat
ter properly SO called, or material atoms;
the other, repulsive, which occupies the
interatomic space, and from which re-
suits between any two atoms a variable
repulsion exercised at the surface of the
Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

4 MIGHT or TERROR.
Two Portland Ladies' and Two Men Ca7
ricf1 to Sen In an Open Boat.

Two Portland Ladies'. and Two men C;ic-
ricd to Sen In am Open Boat.
Friday morning two Portland ladies
staying at the Lawson House, Harps-
we'll, accompanied by two young men.
one of them graduate from the college
! at Montreal, left Harpswell in an open
boat for the city. The southeast storm
of the previous night had evidently
blown itself out, and there seemed to he
signs of clearing weather. Tie party
. reached Portland in safety. although
i they found the sea heavy, for tho wind
was strong enough to bring thcm along
quickly.
/ The party stayed in town but short
! time, ms they desired to get back to.
/! Harrswell before night set in. If they
had possessed much knowledge of navi-
/ CATION In these parts they might have
seen that the wind had shifted back into
the northeast quarter, and that the
signs were good for tough storm. But
they started off. thinking they would
4 have no trouble. Before they had been
out very long the wind arose as they
reached the open places where the sea
had o sweep, the boat began to labor md
the situation became serious.
In maneuvering the boat a heavy sea
smashed the rudder, and for n few mo-
ments the boat narrowly escaped swamp
ing. Before the control was obtained
the boat was swept out beyond the line
of the islands, and then most perilotls
voyage began. The boat shipped seas,
and it required the constant efforts of
all hands to bail out. At times itseemed
az if each moment would be the last
that the frail craft would remain afoat,
tossed as she was ct the mercy of the
storm. The hours passed as if they were
ages. The bowling northeast wind drove
the boat before it, and darkness gath
cred, night came on, and the four occu-
pants of the boat, never expecting to see
home again, still strove to keep their
boat aAoat and to keep up their courage.
About 4 o'clock Saturday morning.
after being exposed for thirteen hours.
drenched all that time to the skin and
more OF less bruised and battered by the
pitching of the boat, the great waves
tossed them into Sin,onton's cove, just

mates, who furnished them dry clothes,
wrapped them in blankets and gave
them thorough warming, and later in
the morning they came to town in one
of the barges that run from the cape 10
the city. Their friends at Harpswell
supposed they were safe in town, and
their friends in Portland supposed they
were in Harpswell. Some Of the party

yawningl witnesses,

A few evenings ago half dozen men
were sitting out in front of the Capital
hotel discussing various topics, when
Judge Yost, Of the supreme court. in
telling all anecdote Of n trial, remarked
that the witness yawned and he knew
he was lying.
How did you know" was asked.
"Well, sir, have seen witnesses lie
and not yawn, but never knew one to
yawn that he was not telling lie"
Judge Sims. the member of the legis-
lature from Trigg. remarked, ''Yes, l
always know q witness is lying when he
yawns."
Senator Dave Smith said, lit is al
most invariably the case"
Judge Wall, the senator from Mason,
came up and corroborated the state
ments of the others. and just then Judge
Brent, of the superior court, joined the
group. "When witness yawns he is
telling lie, and he knowsit."
Several other lawyers were appealed
to, and all bore out the statements made.
None, however, could explain the phe-
nomenon. Judge Yost was the only one
who had theory, and that was that
when fellow was swearing to lie he
could not face the music. and his en-
barrassment found expression in yawns.

Exploded by Sunlight.

The curious phenomenon that certain
substances retain ac5inic power after lie
ing withdrawn from light has been In
vestigated by NJ. Gautier, who now
shows that mixture in equal volumes
of chlorine and hydrogen will explode in
twenty or thirty seconds when placed in
the shade at spot which the sun has re-
Gently lighted up; and it is singular
fact that chlorine and hydrogen, which
have been obtained by the electrolysis
OF hydrochloric acid, will explode 20
gether in diffuse daylight, which only
affects the two gases obtained by the or
binary laboratory methods very slowly.
Again, if hydrogen gas is mixed with
chlorine gas which has previously been
exposed to sunlight he,lnixture will cx-
plode instantaneously i'll tho dark.
These facts show, it is thought, that's
stances which have been submitted 10
the action of electricity, or which have
been exposed for certain length Of
time to the direct rays Of the sun, are i'll
peculiar state of excitement, which
renders them much more active as re-
CARDS one another than are the same
substances prepared by the ordinary
methods of the laboratory-they acquire
peculiar allotropic state. similar to
what ozone is rs regards ordinary oxy-
gen gas.-New York Sun.

Hard to Satisfy.

Some persons are hard to satisfy. The
thing in hand is of little worth, but the
object beyond reach seems all desirable.
A clergyman in Maine. who lives near
the seacoast, narrates an occurrence
which gave llima moment of disappoint-
ment, but which has also supplied him
with very good story to tell.
He had planned beautiful drive for
the benefit Of a lady from the west who
was visiting his family-a lady who had
never seen the ocean. The route was
chosen in such n way that not u glimpse
of the sea would lie had until, at Ger.
tain bend in the road, the party would
come out upon high open space. conf
manding Il magnificent view of the broad
Atlantic.
AS the carriage came out upon the
plateau the clergyman turned bealning
face on the lady, expecting from her an
exclamation of delight; but instead OF
happiness on her countcnance, he saw o
look of longing.
..Oh," she said. withsa sigh, "how |
wish l could see the Paci1ic!''-Youth's
Companion.

sccn in the n:ctronolis.

A refuse cart was close to the cnrb on
Thirty-seventh street. between Madison
and Fifth avenues, recently. while the
driver, a healthy young lrishlnan, talked
to u woman who had on each side q little
chap dressed in sailor costume. Most
passersby must have taken her for u
nurse out with her charges from one of
the fashionable houses near by. After
two minutes talk the woman lifted The
lads one by one to the side of the rough
driver, who had carefully spread u piece
of stout paper over his cargo to protect
the clothing of the children.
One lad, tucked close under the driv-
er's arm, was permitted to hold the reins.
while the other pokcd the staid horse
with short stick. The three drove off
eastward, smiling. while the woman fol-
lowed on the sidewalk The children
were the drivers own, and they were rs
well dressed as half the children native
to the locality in which the scene oc-
curred.-New York Sun.

Caste nrokon Down by Street Cars.


Street cars in Bombay are mostly of
American manufacture, and the pro-
moters of the street car lines arc Ameri-
cans. When it was proposed, not many
years ago, to start such lines Europeans
prophesied their failure upon the ground
That such common public conveyances
could not lie profitable in a caste ruled
community. 1t was believed that the
high caste man, who will not eat or
drink from the vessel used by low
caste man, would refuse to ride i'll a
public conveyance beside his humble
brother.
In spite of these doleful prophecies the
railways were built and equipped, and
10. the high caste man conplacently pays
his fare and rides untroubled by the
side of any sort of man. The cheapness
and convenience of the street cars were
too much for even the har and fast
rules Of Chicago Trl.lne.
