HEAT Or THE SUN.

For Many Years to Come 1t VIII Continue
to Give Light and Heat.
Those who have paid attention to
this subject are aware that the re-
markable doctrine first propounded by
Helmholtz removed all real doubt
from the matter. It is to this eminent
philosopher we owe an explanation of
what at first seemed to be a paradox.
He explained how, Notwithstanding
that the sun radiates its heat so pro-
fusely, no indications of the inevitab BILE
decline of heat can be as yet discov-
cred.
If the sun had been made of solid
coal from center to surface. and if that
coal had been burned for the purpose
of sustaining the radiation, it can be
demonstrated that a few thousand
years of solar expenditure at the pres
emit rate would suffice to exhaust all
the heat which the com bustion of that
great sphere of fuel could generate.
We know, however, that the sun has
been radiating heat, not alone for thou
sands of years, but for millions OF
years. The existence of fossil plants
and animals demonstrates this fact.
We have thus to account for the ex-
tremely remarkable circumstance that
our great luminary has radlated forth
already thousand times as much heat
as could be generated by the combus-
ton of a sphere bf coal as big as the
sun is at prescott, and yet. notwith-
standing this exAenditure in the past,
physics declare That for millions Of
years to come the sun may continne1e

CHAPTER XIII.
IN CAMP MORT0T

Packed in with companions in misery,
on the prison train, that frosty Balti-

wrapped himself in his new-found ulster
and closed his eyes. B-t wide-awake

pocket. feeling for the suspicious paper
barely detected under the heavy cloth.
But, through warp and woof, the little
paper actually burned the anxious boy
Was it a hint to escape? he thought
If SO. perhaps he was losing the precious
moment. No; it must be news of Car
olyn Clay-how she had managed to
elude her careful captors. Or perhaps
that paper was trap, only to lure him
to detection and rougher treatment.
No, indeed! The eyes of the girl had
told him he could trust the writer. And
what eyes they were! He could see
them now, through his closed lids; and
he rambled in thought after that ro-
nance, as the sun sank lower in that
west towards which the train was
whirling him so fast. With the fading
light anxiety came back, and he felt
once more for the paper, eagerly. bnt

To have shown how the apparent
paradox could be removed is one OF the
most notable achievements of the great
German philosopher.
Whst HeImholtz did was to refer ia
the obvious fact that the expenditures
of heat by radiation must necessarily
lead to shrinkage of the solar volume.
This shuinlage has the effect of at
tracing frona n store of potential en-
ergy in the sun, and transforming what
it takes into the active form of heat.
The transformation advances pari
passu with the radiation, so that the
loss of heat arising from the radiation
is restoratios by the newly-produced
heat derived from the latent reservoir.
Such is an outline Of the now famous
doctrine universally accepted among
physicists. It falfials the conditions of
the problem, and when treated by
arithmetical calculatioait is not found
wanting. Review.

BY degrees, as the long day wore

MARSHAL IMAGINATION.

"The Good Knight. Without Fear and
without Reproach of Modern Times"
Had Marshal MacMahon lived some
| centuries earlier his memory would
have been preserved as that of one OF
the legendary paladins of history. Du-
nois, Martel, the great Bayard himself,
| might have envied the hero of the
Malakoff and of Magenta, the brilliant,
daring and chivalric spirit which in
vested his career with so much ro-
nance and dignity. Nowadays soldier
ing is not the dazzling business it was
when men like Rupert or Ney were
held up as types of military perfection.
Moltke, with his impassive student
face, his bent figure and his periodic
pinches of snuff, directing operations
as though they were SO many ac-
tuarial calcula tions, is the pattern
of the modern warrior. MacMahon
hurting his magnificent cuirassiers
to certain destruction and himself fight
ing in the trenches, covered with
wounds, belong to another period-he
was a splendid anachronism. Perhaps
it is just on this very account that he
was esteemed so highly. The gen.
crosby and sterling honesty of such a
character are rare qualities in these
circulating and cynical times. He
shone, too, by contrast.
He was a magnificent and majestic
giant among the pettifogging pigmies
of the Third Republic, with their
miserable intrigues and their stock
exchange scandals. Theirs said of him
that he was 1.-The good knight without

A MIDNIGHT INCIDENT.
There Was q Tremendous Racket n
Made by Burglars.

There Was q Tremendous Racket Not
Made by Burglars.
The head of home in northeast Bal
timore was awakened by his wife with
the information that burglars were in
the house. He ridiculed her suspicious
at first, but some ominous noise from
the region of the kitchen finally con-
vinced him that something was wrong.
He got up, and. not having weap-
on, seized bronze ornament and
boldly started on tour of inspection.
Entering the dining room he managed
to overturn several chairs as prelimi-
nary warning to the invaders, as he did
not care to surprise them.
The ominous sound continued, how
ever, and cold CHI lis began chasing each
other in rapid transit style up and
down his spinal column. Urged on by
encouraging stage whispers from his
wife, he moved toward the kitchen,
clutching his weapon until its outlines
were imprinted on his hand. Then he
pushed open the door.
As it swung back pistol-like report
echoed through the house, causing the
investigator to beat hasty retreat,
firmly convinced that he was shot.
Under the gaslight he soon found that
he was unhurt, and again advanced on
the kitchen. This time he entered and
lit match, but just then the kitchen
door shut with bang, putting out the
light and increasing the terror which
had taken possession of him.
After another retreat the kitchen
was again entered, and this time
the gas was lighted. Then surprise
took the place of fear. The kitchen
looked as if small-sized cyclone had
struck it. Broken china and glass en-
numbered the floor, and everything
was in confusion.
But no burglar could be seen. Search
ing further the cause was soon discov-
cred. The wife had put up quantity
of catsup in bottles and placed them
on a shelf During the night the cat
sup began to ferment. Several bottles
exploded, throwing surrounding oh.
jects to the floor and creating havoc
nerally.-Baltimore Sun.

GBT7INGBACK TOWBRK
REPORTS FROM SIXTY CITY AND SUBURBAN
INDUSTRIES
Which Show tha; NSnrly Six thousand Employees
Have Been Pit TO Work, With the Number
Likely 10 be Added to Soon.

With q view to ascertaining just
what progress was being made towards
securing a general resumption OF the
industrial establishments OF this city
and Vicinity, reporters for the REGISTER
yesterday made enquiries at sixty man
ufacturing establishments in the city
and its immediate suburbs, on both
sides of the river.
The result was very gratifying and
encouraging, it being shown that nearly
six thousand hands were now at work
in this community, with every prospect
that this number will be considerably
added to within the next fifteen days.
The sixty establishments enqulred OF
embrace about all lines Of manufactur-
ing, and when running to their fullest
capacity employ total Of 10, 155 hands.
As matter of fact, however, even in
the most prosperous times, they are
not all running full at once, and per-
some cause or another. OF this total OF
,155 hands employed, 3, 500 were actu-
ally at work last week, which is Lot az
all bad showing, when one considers
that three or four weeks ago
nearly every plant in the city
and vicinity was idle. Had it
not been for the existing complications
In flint glass circles, il is likely that
both factories H" and 30" would now
DO running, giving employment to six
hundred more hands, and the idleness
OF these two plants is hardly to be con-
sidered In the same light as others in
this vicinity which are working re-
duced forces solely from trade scondi-
tions. Yet the glass workers aFe idle,
whatever the reason may be, and they
must be included in the list, which is
here amended:

unlocked for so soon.
More encouraging news comes from
the big Riverside works. In the plate
mill, departments A, b, c, are in opera
ton, mill c having resumed one week
ago. Now, mill D will resume not later
than next Tuesday, as good authority
gives il. This will make all the big

Arerhlnt for Renwood.

The case of Mr.. James Brown against
the city of Benwood for damages he
claims he sustained by reason Of the
city having filed McMechen street and
an alley in the rear Of his lot, was tried
yesterday at Moundsville, before Judge
PAUL and jury. The jury viewed the
premises OF Mr.. Brown on Friday last,
under charge OF Deputy Sheriff Nc
Combs. The city filed the street in
front Of Mr.. Browns lot about two feet,
and he complained among other things
that such fill prevents the water from
running out Of his cellar and of his lot.
After the evidence Of many Of the most
respectable and reliable citizens and Of
iciais Of Benwood had been heard by
the Jury, and the Instructions OF the
learned judge as to the law had been
given them, the jury found a verdict in
favor Of the city and against Mr..
Browns claims. Judge Crsmmer and
Mr.. Parkinson represented Mr.. Brown,
and General Alfred Caldwell the city
of BenWood.
