FRAGMENTS OF The SUN.
The Earth and All other Planets Are Chips
OF the Old Block.

The great Buffon's curious speculations
on the age of the earth refer almost solely
to observations made on its internal heat,
the whole argument being based upon
his "Cosmogony of the Solar SYSTEM
viz, that the earth and all other planets
are but fragments of the sun, struck from
that glowing orb by the blow of a giant
o shapeless mass of melted matter and
has for thousands of years been gradually
''-- 49, e~--.- ---H"+ T-----+ ''~~~~~"-''-
have been temperature so high that the
human mind cannot comprehend its being
measured on the promoters scale.
Guided by experiments he had made on
the cooling of white hot iron balls, Button
calculated that the fragment Of tho sun
which we now call tho earth would cool
from surface to center in the short space
of 2, 936 years; that its temperature would
sink to that point where animals might
touch it with IMMUNITY in 1920 years
and that it would scale down to it's exist
ing temperature in 1882 years. Figur-
ing from the same basis, it is shown that
the temperature will be reduced by one
twenty fifth in 1853, 1873 years, and that the
habitable portions of the globe will be
much reduced in area in consequence.
In this connection his figures on the age
and temperature of Jupiter, "the giant of
the Skies" cannot prove embarrassing.
II have shown in the above the ap-
proximate age of the world we live in.
From the figures therein presented it is
quite natural to suppose that larger body
would cool much less rapidly, and vice
versa. Jupiter, the largest of all the plan
i =
8, 433 years, cooled so as to admit of safe
contact in 40, 11S years and would arrive
at the existing temperature of our earth
in 240, 461 years from the time when it
was Clipped from the sun. st. Louis

A CLEVER STRATEGY.
How General Putnam Caused n French
Vessel to BE Captured.

How General Putnam Caused n French
Vessel to BE Captured.
General Putnam, brave officer in the
war between the French and English in
Canada, is the hero of an interesting lit
tie story. General Amherst marched across
tho country to Canada. Coming to one Of
the lakes over which he intended to pass
with his troops, he found French vessel
armed with ~ guns upon the lake. This
greatly distressed the general, as his small
boats were no match for this vessel in the
situation in which it was placed. While
he was thinking what had best be done
Putnam addressed him.
General" said he, "that ship must be
taken"
Eyes, " said Amherst. "Iwould give the
world were she taken"
"I'l take her." said Putnam.
Amherst smiled and asked how.
"Give me some wedges, beetle "a large
wooden mallet) end few men, and I'll
take her," answered Putnam.
General Amherst was puzzled as to how
this was to be accomplished, but he grant
ed Putnam's request and gave him the
wedges beetle and his choice of men.
When night came, Putnam stole quietly
under the vessels stern, with his wedges
and hammer and five men. In an instant
the wedges were driven behind the rudder
in the cavity between rudder and ship.
This was done without attracting the enc
my's attention, and then Putnam quietly
came back to shore In the morning the
sails were seen fluttering about and after
awhile the vessel was blown ashore and
the enemy captured.
Having lost control of the rudder by
General Putnam's act, the course of the
vessel could not be egulated.-Philadel

Tho Mareohal Mel Rose.

There is a pretty little history in con-
nection with the naming Of the fashiona-
BILE Marechal Mel rose, which, as gener-
ally known, is named after the famous
general Of the Franco A ustrian war.
when Mel was returning from the scene
of bis victories in war;" writes an emil
nent florist, lone Of the peasant women
along the line of march presented him
with beautiful basket of yellow roses.
One of these flowers still had its roots
clinging to it, and on his arrival in Paris
Mel planted the flower in his garden.
The rose thrived and finally grew to bush
covered with blossoms. The general then
presented the plant as gift to Empress
Eugene. She was delighted with the beauty
and fragrance Of the flower, and on learn
ing that the rose had no name said signih-
cantly: Then will give it one chris
ten it the Marechal Mel, and at the same
time she bestowed upon the amazed gen.
eral the jeweled emblem that betokened
his promotion to the exalted Office of mar
shall of France. "-Philadelphia Times.

Peculiar to ItseIf.

Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiar to itself,
in a strictly medicinal sense, in three i'm
pOrtant particulars, viz. First, in the
combination of remedial agents used;
Second, in the proportion in which they
are mixed; third, in the process by
which the active curative properties of
the preparation are secured. These
three important points make Hoods
Sarsaparllla peculiar in it's medicinal
merit, as it accomplishes cures hitherto
unknown.
But it is not what Hoods Sarsaparilla
does, that tells the story. What Hoods
Sarsaparilia mas dOIe for others is rea-
son for confidence that it is the medicine

of Robinson Crusoe. When a servant has
