It's relationship to the sun, 1t Is impos'
slole tbat an equal dlffuslon OF solar
neat should strike and penetrate TINS
atmospheric envelope, as the equa-
torlal zone gets the vertical rays,
the temperate zone receives rays
that are more slanting and consequent
~ less heat, while the frigid zones,
made such by reason of the polar points
or regions most remote from the direct
rays of the sun, receive the minimum
of light and heat.
Now, what is the consequence? Ger
tain areas or belts are intensely heated
and expanded. Other belts are only
partially heated, and still other regions
are almost bereft of heat, and this very
mobile ocean by law OF nature seeks
to equalize itself, and system OF cur
rents interchanging and intercom-
mingling is set in motion that are in
action seemingly ever and forever. But
in the meantime peculiar factor is
operative and eXerts a singularly
modifying influence on this procedure.
This is the earths diurnal motion, its
daily turning on its axis, whereby this
very limped ocean is also turned and is
alternately heated land cooled as it is
presented to the sunward side or the
side away from the sun. This action
relieves the currents of the greater
part of the labor, and were it possible
for the earth to turn with pole to the
sun and the one side constantly to the
solar heat, while the other side was
constantly away from it, we can not
conceive of the incessant hurrica nes
that would then prevail as the fiercely
heated side of its frigid antipode ex-
changed atmospheric compliments
We are not to suppose that this at
mospheric sea is heated even over the
equator from the bottom to the top,
which is theoretically about forty-fiye
miles, and here is another popularity:
At height of only from four to six
miles it is necessarily cold. and higher
up the air has more than polar tenn
perature But we get no correct inl-
preston OF the upper air phenomena
while we are down at the bottom of
this sea. There are thousands of I'M.
pediments that temporarily retard and
stop the currents and which must
consequently go in fits and spurts
regardless of the more even and
regular flow above. If we could
be at the bottom, among the
rocks and holes of a deep, swift7fow-
ing river, we should get no correct
idea from the surrounding swirls of the
smooth, and uniform flow on its surface.

HARDWOOD FLOORS.

Covered Broom.

They should Always Bo Swept with q
Covered Broom.
The hardwood floor is comparatively
new feature of the house, and it is not
altogether strange that housekeepers
do not always know just how 20 take
care of them. Many of them treat them
as they do a carpet, sweeping them
with broom-corn broom. which Is in
tended well enough to take the dust out
of the meshes of a carpet, but not to
polish a hardwood surface.
The same woman who treats her
hardwood floor in this way would re-
fuse to sweep off her piano with a
broom-corn broom, for fear of scratch
ing it. She would probably take soft
cotton flannel duster and wipe off the
dust, and this is exactly what she should
do with her floor. The most convenient
way of doing 1t Is to make soft cot
ton-hannel bag for the broom. The
dust is easily removed from polished
floor in this way.
Such covered broom is also useful
sweeping down the walls, though q
feather buster accomplishes this work
more successfully. There ought to be
a number of these broom-covers. ready,
SO that when they become soiled they
may be washed, Painted piazas may
also be much more successfully swept
with covered broom of this sort than
in any other way. Even when it needs
scrubbing brush if it is we'll swept
with covered broom, it will look al
most as we'll as If It had been scrubbed
with a brush, and certainly Better than
If it had been cleaned with a mop.-N.

wanted to resign, so as to enable them
to vehemently insist on his not doing

lations stands the fact that he did re-
sign, and also that other concrete and
imperative fact that he was seriously
threatened with blindness. A man in

cessiul career might want to test the
fidelity OF his friends, but II his duties
were such that they were inevitably
wearing out bis health, he would hardly
think it worth while to put his friends
to such . trial. The true reason for his
retirement would be the apparent and
the natural reason. 1t is not pleasant
to think that those men who are push
ing upon the public their ridiculous
theories are casting q shadow upon the
brightness Of the closing public career
of the greatest parliamentary leader Of

short allowance. They are getting away
with our substance, and unless we revo-
lutionize their whole system, and bring
them down to fair terms. they will milk
the public COW dry. They are like the
scale bugs. and the people the orange
trees. Unless We find something that
will kill them oh--either 9 new vedalia
or some sort of fumigating gas-they
will destroy our growth and paralyze
our capacity to produce. Now is the
time for an exhibition of high and hon.
est politics. Official salaries are at least
SO per cent too high, and we pay
about that percentage too much for
everything purchased for public use.

ings. it will not cost q small fortune to

The herald., 1894-03-07

THERE is evidently q misspprehension
in some minds to the effect that the
constitution protects county officers
from any diminution Of their salaries for
the term for which they had been elect
ed. The language of the constitution is
very clear on this point. Section 9, art
icle X[., reads: "The compensation of
any county (city, town or municipal) Of
icer shall not be increased after his cleo
ton or during his term of Office" But
there is no prohibition to diminishing 6
it, as is the case in section 10, article
", in relation to the salaries OF certain
state officers.
