BRITISH POLITICS.
JOE CHAMBERLAIN ON THE RETIRE.
MENT OF Mr. GLADSTONE.
He Praises the Grand Old Man--Rosebcrry
o Lukcwarm Home Ruier-Course
of the Liberal Cuionists.

LONDON, March 7-Joseph Chamber
lain, leader of the Liberal-Unionists In tho
House of Commons, addressed meet.
ing of his constituents in Birmingham
this evening. lie pr;liasd Gladstone for
his energy and courtesy In public life.
and spoke In the warmest terms OF hts
eloauence and keenness In debate. None
OF the old premiers mental powers. he said.
had shown signs of decay, and his re-
tirement could only be deplorcd by po-
lItcal friends, and foes alike. For this
retirement there was no more reason
now apparent than there had been at
any time I'm the last ten years
Mr. Chamberlain said no had been
asked repeatedly IN the last few days
whether the Lib.ral-Unionists were likely
10 become again a part OF the great
Liberal party. This question he was I'M
able TO answer. lie had noticed VIDE
spread impression that Lord RoseDcry.
as Premier. was likely TO reverse Glad
stones policy. notably as regarded home
rule. for ireland.
II certainly was curious that tho
Liberal party, after their great struggle
for home rule. should now accept q ie.ni-
err who was known 10 be lukcwarm IN the
Irish cause and reject one who was re-
cognized as Il zealot for separation.
There were many incalculable elements
in the present political situation The un-
certainty could not be fathomed Tor some
time. and the parties must walt and
watch. The Liberal-Unio must observe
the course OF events, without disbanding
their forces. Personally hue feared That
the policy of the Liberal party would re-
main unchanged. that home rule would
sin be part OF the Liberal proSramme'
and that consequently he and his col
leagnes musr continue their strenuous OPP
nosition to the government.

Where the sun Gets Its Heat.

Why the sun continues to give forth
light and heat in undiminshed quantities
and unvarying intensity after having been
in a state of combustion for untold ages
has long been puzzle to the astronomers
as well as to the thoughtfrk-rbseryer IN
the lower rank of the star gazers. Those
learned in sun lore tell Us that for every
second of time the sun emits as much neat
as would result from the instant combus-
ton of / coo, 900, 600, 900 tons OF coall Cal
culating from these figures, it Is easily
shown that il the suns entire mass consist
ed of first quality Of coal in state OF com
bustion, aud that it couldr burn until the
time when the very last ton were consum-
ed-maintaining until then tho rate OF
heat emission now kept up-the supply
could not possibly last over 5000 years.
But it Is believed that the sun has been IN
existence for hundreds Of thousands ana
probably millions of years, and that since
the lagos Of man" dawned the quantity
Of heat emitted has not perceptibly dimin-
ished. This being the case, there Is but
one conclusion as to how its heat supply
Is kept up-viz, that it has an outside
store fuel TO draw upon. The latest the
Dry is that the immense regions OF space
are occupied by untold myriads OF NINA
ture bodies known as meteors, meteorites
and acrolites, which are being constantly
drawn to the sun, and that these, CONSTANT
ly blowing its atmosphere, evolve numer-
Gus streams Of both heat and light.-St-
Louis Republic.

Chinese Poetry In English yers.

For many centuries the Chinese nation
has closely cultivated the poetic art and
still turns ont annually more poetry than
all the rest Of the world put together. AL
modern Chinese statesmen are poets more
or less. The late Marquis Tseng. who
taught himself English with only the aid
of a Murray's grammar and Nuttall
dictionary, began early TO drop into poe
try. The following "Ode Mt Parting" was
handed by him 10 an English fellow trav'
eler on ono OF the local steamers:
When we reached the mouth OF the river
See how the ocean red!
Very glad to meet you
And talk on tho captains bed.
Poets, properly so called, are not to be
found in China at the present day. A poet
i. in Chinese terms, a ''wind man"-tha'

the divine Aura He is, emphatically
born and not made. Ii T'ai-po "a. d.

positively lisped in numbers. At 10 years
ofagc he indited the following impromptu
TO FREELY.
Rain cannot quench thy lanterns light;
Wind makes il shine more brightly bright
Oh. why not fly 10 heaven afar
And twinkle near the moon--a star?
