His Remains Discovered.

Interesting advices have been re-
ceived from one of Bishop fuckers
party now on its way to Uganda
in Africa, concerning the discovery
of the bones of Bishop Harrington,
who was murdered by the cannibals
at the town of Vusoga-Mumia. The
chief of the tribe, Mumin denied all
knowledge of the whereabouts of the
remains. Upon being bribed with a
flannel suit by Bishop Tucker, how
ever, he gave some general infor-
nation regarding the supposed place
of burial.
Six native soldiers were hired to
dig at the spot indicated, and after
going down some six feet they
brought to light a wooden box lined
with tin, containing a skull, some
rib bones, a pair of boots which were
recognized as having been the prop
erty of the bishop, and the top Of his
canteen bucket. The remains were
taken possession of by the bishop and
his party, and will be buried ia the
Cathedral of Uganda. The letter
saws that 1t is remarkable that the
first missionary party that has passed
that way since Harrington, should
he privileged to bear his bones into
that country he twice tried to enter.

Beauty and Bravery.

what sort OF men are likely to bt

Atlantic raises this question, and
seems to come to the unexpected
conclusion that physical beauty il
perhaps the surest sign of physical
courage. He quotes a French
philosopher as saying that "where
bravery amounts to madness there is
always something womanish about
the face and bearing" and relates ar
incident of the civil war which seems
TO point to a similar conclusion.

Our Growth westward.

Our growth Westward.
In a speech delivered some time
ago Senator Dawes surprised his
hearers by declaring that the progress
of the United States westward had
been so great that ''the sun will not
go down tonight gpon our westward
border until 1t shall have risen on the
coast of Maine.' We have been ac-
customed to hearing such expressions
used in illustration of the territorial
extent OF the British Empire, but it
is a new experience to hear it applied
to the United States.
In 1890 the center Of American pop
ulation was twenty miles east of Co
lumbus, Ind. In 1870 it was twenty
three miles east of Baltimore, at a
point sos miles east of that estab-
lished by the late census. During
the century, therefore, the center Of
population has moved westward at
the rate Of more than five miles a
year, seventy-three feet a day or
something over three feet an hour.
From 1880 to 1890 the distance gained
was forty-eight miles, and If the
same rate has been maintained since
the census year the center of popula-
tion should now be within eight
miles Of Columbus, Ind. All this the
critics of Mr.. Dawes speech acknowl-
edge, but they have been disposed to
take his remark about the suns ris-
ing in Maine before setting in the
western limits Of our territory as a
mere figure of speech. If they had
given the subject careful study they
would have discovered that the ora
tor was well within the bounds Of
fact and reality.
The island named Attoo at the
western extremity Of the Aleutian
chain is in longitude 10 degrees east
from Greenwich. The eastern ex-
tremity of Maine lies between &C and
81 degrees west from Greenwich.
The difference of longitude is there
fore more than 120 degrees and the
difference of time over eight hours.
When the sun sets at 6 o'clock on the
coast of Maine it is past 2o'clock the
next morning by Maine time before
it sets on Attoo Isle.
Now the longest day in Maine is
almost sixteen hours, and the short
est night a little longer than eight
hours. 1t is evident therefore that
the midsummer sun setting at the
close of a sixteen hour day on the
easternmost island of Maine, must
reappear over the Eastern Maine
horizon at about tie same moment at
which it disappears in the west from
the vision of a person standing on the
westernmost island of the Aleutians.
This is not quite true theoretically,
perhaps, since the difference of time
between the points is a trifle less
than the length of the shortest night,
as computed in the almanacs, at the
eastern point. But the law of re-
fraction would abundantly compen-
safe for the difference. After the
sun had in fact sunk in the western
ocean, his rays, bent downward by
%refraction in passing through the at
mosphere, would continue for some
time to light up Attoo and his disk to
be visible to a person stationed there.
On the other hand, by virtue Of the
same law, the sun would appear to
the Maine fishermen before it had
really risen above the eastern horizon.
