No Oxygen in'the Suns Atmosphere

Science has predicted that one day the
fires of the sun will cool. AS this cool
ing process goes on, the temperature OF
the envelope of the body willsbe affected.
This latter contains. we know, great
quantities of hydrogen. If at the same
time, it contains oxygen, necessarily,
when a certain point has been reached IN
the reduction of the temperature, the
two gases will unite and form vapor. A
greater disaster to solar system than a
screen of vapor about the sun could not
be imagined. In this fog the heat OF
the suns rays would be absorbed, and
the death of the planets from cold general
ly hastened.
M. Jansen resolved to find out If this
lot was awaiting theaaearth; if her future
was to be cut short by a veil OF vapor.
That is. he resolved to find out the orig
in of the oxygen lines in the solar spec
trum. But how could it be done? !" How
senarate the certain action of the terres.
trial atmosphere from the hypotne6lcal
action of the solar atmosphere"
couId reach the limit of the earth's at
mosphere, and there examine the solar
spectrum, the question could be solved al
once. IF the spectrum there was Tree from
oxygen marks, why, then those observed
at the surface were due to absorption as
the ray passed through the earth's at
mosphere. ,... mr.
Jansen decided Ito ascend as high as
nossible above the earth's surface for OBJ
seryation. If he found that the lines
grew paler, or disappeared, and that the
degree of the diminution in intensity
and in number correspondent to the d1ffer-
ence in the quantity OF oxygen IN the
earth's atmosphere at and below the
point of observation, then ne would oe
Justified in concluding that, IN reaching
the limits of the envelope (the earth
atmospheric, all the lines would dlsap-
near from the spectrum, and that, con-
seuuently, the atmosphere or the sun con-
tanned no oxygen.
1t was in October, 1888 that the first
experiment was made. The place chosen
was the station on the route to the sum-
NIT of Mt. Blanc, called the Grands
Mulets. 10000 feet above sea level. The
dificuity of making this ascent SO late
in the season-the refuge at the Grand
Mulets was already closed, and quantl-
ties of snow fallen-was great for anyone
but an experienced Alpinist. But M.
Jansen is not easily baff1ed. he called
a company of picked guides, and laid out
campaign which resulted successfully,
the party reaching the station after
thirteen hours of toll, over road which
in the season does not require more than
four or five.
If the ascent had been severe, the re-
ward was.more than compensation. The
weather proved to be favorable, and M.
Jansen succeeded in making a series OF
experiments which led him to announce
to the Academy of Science, 1.-THE lines
and bands of the spectrum due to oxy-
gensresult exclusively form the earth's
atmosphere. The solar atmosphere has
nothing to.do with the phenomenon. 1t
is exclusively telluric. -McClure's Maya

The legislature of Kentucky has had
before it for some time bill providing
for the compulsory education OF the
youth of the State, but the bill is not
likely to become law. 1t is a very
mild measure, requiring as amended but
10 weeks of school attendance in the
year, only eight of which weeks need be
consecutive. The trouble seems to be
that the people of Kentucky are not
quite ready for compulsory education,
and have yet fully to learn the value OF
a thoroughly organized and complete
public school system.

Secretary Carlisles latest attempt at
deforming the civil service has been to
degrade four men in the classified service
in his department-men who had worked
their way up under rules applied by Sec
rotary Fairchild during Mr.. Cleveland's
former administration-andt to give their
places to subordinates4 who CHANGED to
have political pull" We suppose
Carlisles wicked son Logan will be the
scapegoat of this performance.
