A SOCIETY BALL
A Brilliant Gathering at the Palace
Hotel.

One of the most fashionable dances of the
season took place last evening in the Palace
Hotel.
The beautiful maple room. with its cleo
trio lights, polished walls and canvas-cov-
cred floor. makes about the prettiest dane
ing-hall in the city. It is certainly the
most attractive; particularly when it is
filled with a company such as graced the
"lmpromptu" dance last night.
The marble room adjoining was also used
for dancing. and the handsome withdraw
ing-room, with its comfortable settees and
easy chairs, was used as a retring-room for
the ladies between the dances. Supper was
served in the room adjoining the maple
room at the west end, and all the details
were carried out in style BETTING the inl-
portance of the occasion.
This dance is the last important gathering
of the kind before Lent, but as soon as the
time comes TO DO away with the sackcIoth
and ashes we shall no doubt hear of the
Impromplu Club again. The party last
night was G ven under the patronage of the
Countess festetcs, Mrs. Joseph A. Dono-

Geography of the Moon.

Sir Robert Ball is reported to have said in
his lecture on the moon that the geography
of our satellite was better know even than
that Of the earth. There was no single spot
on the moon the size of an ordinary parish
in England that has not been fully photo
graphed and observed. OF course this re-.
mark eau only relate to the side of the moon
which is always turned toward us.
Nearly 0ne-hali OF her surface has never
been seen by mortal eve, and never will be,
unless tue luna globe shonld be tilted by a
collision with a comet or some such erratic
body. Otherwise ii is fact that photogra-
ply has done more for the earth's attendant
than for the earth itself.
II is analogous TO the further fact that the
only things which man can predict with
certainty are not those that happen on the
sphere he inhabits. but the movements Of
worlds mmeasnrablY distant.

The Age of the Earth.
Rehoboth Sunday journal.

The age of the earth is estimated from the
increment in the temperature as we pene-
trate its crust The rate at which it cools,
however, can only be approximately deter
mined, owing to the cnnfessedly imperfect
data which must be used. there being moth
ing on which to base calculations.
From y careful analysis of the data al
hand Sir William Thompson has found that
between 100000 and 100000, 900 years
ago the earth first began to be crrsted over
by solid film Of rocks; that 10, 0G0, 900 years
later it was so hot that the temperature
would have increased 2 degrees Fahrenheit
for every foot vertically descended below
the zone of constant temperature The
present rate Of increase averages about 1.51
of degree for every foot.

A New Trolley Car Brake.

A Rochester man has devised a plan
by which a trolley street Car can be
stopped almost instantaneously, or with
in space of three feet, while the car is
going at full speed. His device is oper-
ated by a lever in the motorman's cab.
1t is, generally speaking, a steel shoe
upon which the rear wheels of the car
ride, the under side of which is CORFU
gated so as to produce great friction upon
the rails of the track. On the top of the
shoe is an arrangement which, as soon as
the wheel rises upon the shoe, clamps
the outer rim of the wheel and at the
same time grasps the inner edge of the
rail. The simple weight of the car
crowds down the shoe upon the rail and
at the same time clamps together, as in
a vie, the wheel and the rail, and all
this by a single movement ON the part of
the motorman. Electricity.
