College Of Physicians and Surgeons. who
explained TO 4 reporter yesterday the con-

in his chest. There is of course some
coveringof skin over the heart. othaNyise

action of the heart IS observable. and one
can put his hand through the opening in
the chest and feel the heart at work"

1t would be interesting to know what
the enemies of the red man nave to say
about the case of Nathaniel Jamison.
Nathaniel comes from down Lawton's
way, and Tuesday he was selling the
dark brown sassafras on the streets Of
the city. Now Jamson is thrifty red
man. Having disposed Of many goodly
bundles Of sassafras, he went to dealer
in firewater and bought demijohn of
rare whisky. This he took with him to
the reservation at night, and to his red
brethren of the forest he disposed of it
at retail prices. So he made two profits
on his sassafras. The red man knew
that it was contrary to law for him TO
sell whisky TO his people, but in his own
heart he felt no sense Of guilt.
Day before yesterday he went to the
firewater man again, and while he was
buying of him a United States marshal
arrested him and took him before the
commissioner Contrary to Christian
custom, he pleaded guilty. The commits
sioner, knowing him to be pagan and
believing him to be drunk, thought 1t
best not TO enter that plea. But the In
dian cried out: "rm guilty! Any man
who pleads not guilty when he's guilty

tn, sun - uinic.
Let us SEQ if we have the necessary
data for ascertaining what this solar ma.
tSrial must be. We are first confronted
with the fundamental question as TO
whether it is likely to be composed of
elements found on the earth There was
q time no doubt when it might have
been urged that in all probability the
solar clements were SO far different from
any bodies known to terrestrial chemists
| chat the solar clouds must be constituted
OF something altogether beyond our cog.
nlzance. But this view cannot be sps-
tanned in the present state of science
Nothing is more remarkable i'll the re-
cent advance of knowledge than the
clear demonstration Of the fundamental
unity between the elements present in
the celestial bodies and those elements
Of which the earth is composed. 1t is no
doubt true that we have found grounds
for believing that there may be one or
two elements in the sun which we do not
find here.
We have indeed assigned to these
dimly dfscerued elements the hypothet.
ical names of coronium and helium
But even If such bodies exist at all they
are certainly wanting i'll the essential
qualities that must be attributed to any
clement which purports to be the active
component of the photospheric clouds
There cannot be q reasonable doubt that
the sun is mainly composed of elements
both well known and abundant ON the
earth. 1t is clearly among these known
bodies that it is our duty to search for
the characteristic phOtospheric material
AS the terrestrial clouds consist of
water they are derived not from SIM
pie element, but from a composite body
formed of the gases-oXygen and hydro
gen. The multitude of composite bodies
is, of course, innu1nerable, and the task
Of searching for the solar constituents
would therefore seem to be IN endless
one, unless we were in some way en-
abled to restrict the field of inquiry.
This is just what the vast temperature
Of the sun permits us to do. 1t is well
known that at heat resembling that at
which the photosphere is maintained
chemical compounds cannot in general
exist. Ordinary chemical compounds OK
posed to temperatures of such elevation
are instantly resolved into their elemen-
tary components. 1t is thus manifest
that III the endeavor to find the photo
spheric material we have not to scan the
illimitable field of chemical compounds.
We have only to consider the several
elementary bodies themselves.
Thus at once the research is narrowed
to choice among some Ga different ma
terials, this being about the number of
the different elementary bodies. Most OF
them have already been actually de-
tected in the sun, and it is very likely
that the others do really exist there also

LIP LANGUAGE.
A New Fad Which Is Now Under Discus

A New Fad Which Is Now Under Discus
sion In EngIand's Upper Tendon.
Lip language" is understood to be the
latest craze which will occupy the spare
time of society in the place of banjo
playing and skirt dancing. Somebody
once sang something about:
When meek gray eyes droop still more meek
And dimples play at hide and seek,
There's but one language lips can speak
"Tis brief. but rather pleasant.
Perchance we have all of us had some
experience of this kind in our time, but
it is quite different kind of planguage
that am now alluding to. 1t reading
and understanding words shaped by the
lips without articulation.
That this is possible is well known by
the efficient manner in which deaf actors
have been able to take their part on the
stage, and if people become proficient in
the art it will be surprising how quiet
society will become. Doubtless life will
be somewhat dull, but at any rate we
shall be spared that perpetual babble and
cackle which ofttimes makes a dinner
party SO wearisome, and we shall get rid
of the roar and buzz of overcrowded as
semblies.
If perfection is attained in the art,
with couple of good opera glasses peo-
pie will be able to converse when a con-
siderable distance apart. The male prac-
ticers of the art will undoubtedly have
to shave, and it will be nice point Of
law to find whether slander or libel con-
veyed by this silent system will be ac-
tionable or not.
Probably the only people who will OBJ
ject to the new pastime will be those
perpetual jabbers, those incessant jaw
exercisers, to whom nothing is so sweet
as the sound of their own voices.-Lon-
don Graphic.
