When Col. Tamblyn was commander
at Fort Fletcher. Kan, he had an
Irishman for orderly, who was noted
for his remarkable manner of twist
ing messages. One day two men who
were employed by Butterfield's Over
land Dispatch company were killed
near the fort by Indians.
On the following day Col. Tamblyn
said to his orderly: Take my com
pliments to the company commanders.
and tell them to notify their companies
that those two men who We're killed
by the Indians yesterday will be buried
this afternoon at two o'clock, and !
would like to have as many as can
make it convenient attend their
funeral"
The orderly accidentally found the
company commanders together, and
touching his cap. delivered his message
as follows: THE colonel sends his
compliments and directs you to notify
those two men that were killed by the
Indians that they will be buried at tw O
o'clock to-day, and he would like to
have as many as can make it convenient t
attend their funeral"
Perceiviug from the expression of
the commanders faces that something
was wrong, he touched his cap again.
and said in somewhat aggrieved tone:
"There may be joke about it, sorrs.
but If there is, it's on the colonel. for
he told me so!"-Youth's Companion.

Scw theory on the Heat From tho Sun.

. Scw Theory on the Heat From the Sun.
Que of the profound thinkers of the
day advances u new theory to account
Tor the heat that is produced by the
suns rays. The popular idea has been
that the sun is an enormous body of
fire, and that combustion causes the
heat On this theory it is held that the
sun will burn out in about five thou
sand years unless, as certain scientists
claim, the loss is made up by the fall
OF meteoric bodies upon the suns sur
face. But the new idea is that the heat
is produced by the rapid motion of the
suns rays as they pass through the
atmosphere in their approach to the
earth. In support of this claim it is
urged that If the sun is burning body
the heat must necessarily be more in
tense the nearer one gets to the source
of it. But it is n clearly demonstrated
fact that the air five or six miles above
the carth's surface is intensely cold,
and the region of perpetual snow is
clearly defined. The rapid-motion the
ory suggests the dynamo and various
electrical possibilities, the further in
vcstigation of which will furnish n fer
tile field for the ambitious student of
practical electric science. Y.

They reach tue boundaries OF dawn.
They cross the scas and rivers deep
They climb the monntnius high and steep,
And hurry on until in sight

Then madly rush into the fray
These armies OF the night and day,
Swiftly the shining arrows go,
While buglng winds their warnings blow

The cohorts of the day advance.
