tion. lie rode into the woods and
there came upon a man who stood
striking n large trunk with "a hammer.
"What are you doing?" the traveller

The Clashing of Atoms.

Professor John Tyndall, one OF the
highest authorities on matters OF
natural philosophy, says OF this; 1t
is to the clashing together of the oxy
gen OF the air and the constituents OF
our gas and candles that the light and
heat of our flame are. When steel
filings are scattered in this Bunsen' 8
flame you see the star-like scintilla-
tions produced by the combustion OF
the st eel. Here the steel is first heated
till the attraction between it and the
oxygen OF the air becomes sufficiently
strong to cause them to combine, and
these rocket-like flashes are the result
OF their collision. 1t is the impact OF
atoms OF oxygen against atoms OF
sulphur which produces the heat and
flame observed when sulphur is burned
i'm oxygen or in the air; to the collision
OF the same a toms against phosphorus
are due the intense heat and dazzling
light which result from the combus-
ton OF phosorus in oxygen gas. 1t is
the collision of chlorine and antimony
which produces the light and heat OBJ
served when these bodies are mixed
together; and it the clashing of sui
phur and copper which produces in
candescence when these substances
are heated together in a Florence
flask. In short, all cases OF combus-
tion are to be ascribed to the collision
OF atoms which have been urged to-
gether by their mutual attractions. y

AN ACCOMMODATING THIEF.
How ''Robber' Helped Mr.. Huntley to a
Big Big Advertisement.

Ed l.. Huntley, known to the com
mercial world as diamond Ed" and
Il legitimate successor to Joe Mulhat-
ton, has returned to Chicago, and has
transferred to this city the plot of his
diamond robbery story.
Mr.. Huntley is u travelling man who,
with companion, was held up last
January while travelling through Mon
tana and robbed OF two diamonds
worth SIS, 900. One of the diamonds
that was thus unlawfully taken from
Mr.. Huntley was once the cap-stone
of the French imperial crown worn by
the Empress Josephine. Whenthe inn
perlal family fell the crown was broken
into many pieces. The most wonder
ful OF all the diamonds, after passing
through many hands, finally came into
the possession of Mr.. Huntley. The
other diamond once belonged to no
less a person than Pat Sheedy.
OF these two gems Mr.. Huntley felt
Justly proud. When he was despoiled
OF them he felt very indignant. Not
being able to tell the thieves what he
thought OF them, he poured his tale of
woe III the ears of an associated press
reporter, and the goods that Mr.
Huntley sold were thereby widely ad-
Nertlsed
After wearying OF going without his
sparks Mr.. Huntley inserted an adver-
tIsement in a Portland paper offering
two thousand dollars reward for the
return OF the stones. egentlemanly
and accommodating highwaymen
thereupon called at Mr. Huntley hotel
and the transfer was made. The sum
OF 80 900 Wa paid and although no
person had sern ihe highwayman at
the hotel. the next morning Mr.. Hunt
ley appeared with his diamonds, which
sparkled as though they had never
lett his possession.
Of course the associated press was
called upon to inform the world that
Mr.. Huntley had recovered his dia.
monds, and his business once more
doomed. All OF which goes to show
that Ed. l.. Huntley is typical Chi
cago citizen well up in the art OF ad
Vertising. InterOcean.

A VEBY HOT SUN.
Its Surface Tempsrture Is Placed at 5000
Degrees Centigrade.

Sir William Thomson has calculated
that the quantity OF fuel required for
each square yard of the solar surface
would be no less than 13, 500 pounds
OF coal per hour, equivalent to the
work OF an engine of 63, 900 horse
power. This enormous expenditure
OF fuel would be sufficient to melt a
thickness of about forty feet of ice per
minute at the suns surface, says the
Gentlemen's Magazine. Sir John
Herschel says: "Supposing a cylinder
OF ice forty-five miles in diameter to
be continually darted into the sun
with the velocity of light, and that
the water produced by it's fusion were
carried OFF, the heat now given off con-
stantly by radiation would then be
expended in its liquefaction, on the
one hand, so as to leave no radiant
surplus, while, on the other, the actual
temperature at it's surface would un-
dergo no diminution."
As to the actual temperature at the
suns surface, various estimates have
been made by different computers.
seechi supposed it to be about TO-
100000 degrees of the centigrade
thermometer, and Sporer $1,000 de
grees of the same scale, while NJ.
Pouillet thinks it lies between ,461
and l, 1,761 degrees. C. NJ. Becquerel,
Prof. Langley and Sir William Thorn
son consider that the temperature OF
the solar photosphere cannot exceed
5000 degrees centigade. According
to Nj. Saint Clare Deville the telnpera-
ture is somewhere about $500 de
grees to 2, 800 degrees.
