IRViNG'S COLUMBUS.
A Statue That Has Stood In Nassau for
Sixty Years.

A STATUE That Has Stood In Nassau for
Sixty Years.
There stands in front of the govern
ment house at Nassau, the Bahamas, a
statue OF Columbus hat has had its
troubles. Historically this statue IS
valuable from the fact that Washington
Irving assisted in designing and eNccut-
ing it. There was q time, however,
when armed sentrics guarded it night
and day. Unauthorized persons were
forbidden to approach the spot where
it stood. If these precautions had not
bccn taken the statue would ~undoubtcd-
~ have been destroyed. That was in
the days when the home government
was trying to abolish slavery OF the is
land. Gov. Smyth was sent out to the
Bahamas to prepare the property
owners for this change and public senti-
lnent was against him. Gov. Snyth
vas captivatcd by beautiful Nassau.
and he presented to that city this statue
of Columbus. The donors unpopularity
wasforseveral years reflected on his gift.
Slavery was abolished, however, public
sentiment in the Bahamas changed, and,
according to the Now York Sun, this
same statue of Columbus is now consid-
cred one of the greatest treasures OF
Nassau. Graggon, OH artist of some local
reputation, mcdclcd it in London
in 1881. Washington Irving was in
England at hat TING, and he brought
to Graggon's aid The results of. his own
extensive research in the libraries and
galleries OF Spain in quest of material
for his Life AID Voyages of Column
bus" He displayed much interest in
this work, and the design is strictly in
accordance with Irving's conception of
Columbus. The statue was brought
ont from London by the British brig
Rose Hill, and was landed at Nassau on
May 0. 1882. 1t was intended to erect
it in front of the public buildings oppo-
site Rayvson square, but this idea was
abandoned on account of numerous
threats to destroy it. The work of
erection was completed during June,
1892. The unwilling and presentation of
the statue were accomplished with ap-
propriate ceremonies and were followed
by n ball at the government house.

THE PHENOMENA OF LIGHT.
a ruzzling Problem for Scientists of AN
Ages.

a ruzzling Problem for Scientists of All
20 Ages.
Several theories have been advanced
by the scientists to account for the fact
that we have the cvcr-pre3cnt pho
nomcna known as eight" The two
principal of the many reasons thus set
forth by the learned gentlemen who
have devoted their lives to such invcs-
tigntion are the emission or corpurcular
theory and that known as the ~undulatory
theory. Tho principals of the emission
theory originated in the fertile brain of
the philosopher, Describes who was
born way back in 1896. But little at
tcntion was paid this peculiar theory at
that time, and it md Descartes were
both almost forgotten when, about
sixty years Later, Sir Isaac Newton mp
pcared upon the scene and enunciatcd
the same doctrine.
According to these eminent men, light
consists of small particles emitted by
luminous bodies, the velocity of it's
TRANSMISSION mainly regulating the
colors. The undulatory theory, that
now most generally accepted by the
scientific world, teaches that the spnce
Detwcen the celestial bodies is occupied
oy an llnponucrnblc ether; and that the
luminosity of a body is supposed to be a
rnpid vibratory motion proceeding from
the body in question to the eye. Tho
waves OF light proceed in all directions
from every luminous point in STRAIGHT
lines; the motions of its PARTICLES being
supposed to undulate in IL tranHvc,so
direction TO the lines IN which the 1irht
travels. Tho velocity of light is SO
great TINT the human mind cannot
Grasp an idea Of the rapidity with which
it travels. According to the best au-
thorities attainable to the writer, the
distance travelled by q beam of light in
u "inglc second of time is one hundred
amt ninety thousand miles. This dis
lance is SO great that no r~crceptible
space OF time would be occupied in it's
passage between any two given points
on the carth's surface.

Some Idea of the Magnitude of the Cop
per Plant.
1T will be some time before the citizens
of this town will realize what big thing
they have secured in the copper refinery, -
said L. L. Terry last evening.
"The copper wire manufactured in Salt
Lake will supply the markets of the Pa
cidc coast states, Australia, Japan, China
and the Sandwich islands, 1t will be the
In the manufacture of copper wire Salt
Lake will be ahead Of Chicago, ST. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and San
Francisco. This is no small thing to be
able to boast of.
s'FThe output of the refinery will amount
to $1,000, 200 year, and this amount will
exceed the total value of all the manufac-
tories in this city, excluding the smelters
But the great boon which this enterprise
will bring to Utah will be the develop
ment OF her copper mines. Salt Lake will
receive the direct benefit of force of sew
eral hundred men, of the class who get
good wages and are sure of their pay. All
our merchants will feel the effect of this
money put into circulation when first pay
day comes on. But the greatest good is
the confidence it inspires, and already we
notice better spirit among our business
men and a disposition to set out and Sc
cure other factories. -
j. b. Spencer. the real estate agent, is
one of the most enthusiastic men in the
city. He made big sale of property that
had been hanging on his hands for a long
time, and he attributed it all to the copper
smelteF. Other agents are equally en-
thusiastic over the prospects, and boom
is brewing,
