HOW GRAVITATION VARIES.
Probably Caused by Subterranean Com
 motions.

Probably Caused by Subterranean Com
 motions.
 That changes, involving the displace- ment of immense masses, are going on within the earth is one of the sug- gested explanations of some observa- tions recently announced in France. It has been found at the Pare St. Maur observatory that the force of gravita- tion, or the weight: of bodies. under goes daily variations. These aresren- sdered sensible by placing in the earth tube containing a column of mercury balanced by the pressure of hydrogen contained in a closed vessel connected with the tube, and registering by means of photography the alterations in the level of the mercury.
 After all corrections have been made for the effect of changes of tempera- ture, it appears that certain sudden variations in the level of the mercury are only to be explained on the theory that they are due to changes in gravi- tation. These variations last from if, teen minutes to an hour. They are, of course, very small, amounting at a maximum to only one-twentieth of a millimeter, but they may imply very great displacements of matter in the interior of the globe. .
 It has been suggested that similar experiments should be conducted in the neighborhood of active volcanoes, where Equefed rock is moving beneath the surface, and other disturbances of the strata of the earth are taking place.
 Such facts as these present to the imagination very formidable picture of the gigantic commotions that ac- company the slow cooling and eontrac- tion of the globe, on whose hardened crust we rear5zou edifces, wondering, when some of them are occasionally shaken down by earthquakes, at the instability of a planet that is apparent ly so solid.

TRAVELLING IN FRANCE.
A Railway Decision That Antagonizes the
 English and American Practice.

Itis said, with some touch of scorn of our insillar ways, that Things are done differently in France but not always better, remarks the London H. lustrated News. The railway passen- ger, indeed, is. better done there, but only in the sense of. more completely done-done brown. His luggage is stolen and he gets no compensation; he finds the guard very different be- ing from that pink of .civility in Eng land, and he can never get accustomed to the. customs. The last feat of a French stationmaster has been to de- eide that an article of luggage placed on5the seat does not keep your place in a railway carriage. This to persons travelling alone and who have nobody to keep their place for them must be indeed delightful. In England this right is never questioned, though in some instances IL IS apnsea.
 It is recorded of a certain hair-spht- ting bishop who was accustomed to compose his ''charges" in the train, and whose desk was always placed op- posite to him, that he invariably treated it as though it were living vis-a-vis. The train being very full on one occasion, would-be passenger in- quired if this place was taken, and the bishop. with his sunniest smile, ex- pressed regret that there was no room. T don't think thatawas quite right, my lord, said one of his fellow passen- gers, who, we may be sure, was not a curate. What was not right?" in- quired his lordship urbanely. "To say that the place was taken" Pardon me; did not say that it was taken. I was particularly careful to use the word 'oecupied.'p f Z i

The Meaning of. .CIosure.. /.

This word aboutiwhich we are hear ing so much came into legislative use in the British house of commons in 1887, and is applied to rule which cuts off debate and prevents further discussion or motion by the minority, bringing the question to direct and conclusive vote. f The French word cloture is often employed to express the same thing. It is really an em- phatic and decisive way of saying: "Comel we have talked enough about this matter; we must decide it now"

To the Rev. c. N. Lamson and Hon. II.
II. Powers:
In behalf Of Chamberln Post. No. /
6. a. r., it is my duty and pleasure to
thank you for your eloquent addresses
delivered July 4, 1893, on the occasion
OF the dedication of the soldiers monu-
ment. AS you spoke you could not have
been insensible of the deep impression
you were making upon the veterans pres
ent. Among them were men who carried.
not in the usual rhetorical sense but in
literal truth, the scars of many battles.
From Cedar Creek and Gettysburg, from
Cold Harbor, Bucklin's Mills and Win
chester, from Second Bull Run. the Will
derness and other wel-fought fields,
from the malarial swamps of Louisiana
and about Vicksburg, from the fever
regions of North Carolina, from the
devastated line of Thomas march TO the
sea, and from the prison cells of Libby
and Andersonville, these men brought
their lasting souvenirs of sacrifice. But
while they listened to your words tn,
memory of all which they had suffered
was revived only to be swallowed up il
a deepening sense of the grandeur ant
permanence of those principles of which
you spoke, and for which all patriot,
have been willing to struggle and endure
They look upon you as two representa
tive men, and they request me to assru
YOU that theirrecollcction of the occasion
will be cherished with especial gratitud
and pride while life shall last.
Respectfully your obedient servant,
N. p. BOWMAN,
