ADAPTABILITY OF ANIMALS.

The whale was, at some remote
period, according to the best author.
tiles, an amphibious animal, and
lived in and about the low lands and
ponds. After time, by some of the
curious processes of adaptation pro-
vided by nature, this creature took
to the water altogether, and its feet
became fins. These members still
retain many of their original charac-
teristics, having bones with joints
like those in the fingers. The tail,
instead of having bones and rays, is
mass of cartilage. The sense of
smell is precisely like that in the
mammals, and the still further re-
semblance is noted in that it suckles
its young after the manner of cow
with her calf The baby whale has
rudimentary teeth in its gums, and
certain species show traces of hind
legs under the skin. Whales have no
special organs for water-breathing,
and must come to the surface at in
tervals for air. Their lungs and heart
are as fully developed for surface air
breathing as those of the OK or the
horse. They may remain under the
water for thirty or forty minutes,
but usually come TO the surface to
breathe at intervals of ten minutes
or Whereabouts.

city missionary at Hartford since 1876,

IN carrying on various agencies for tine
relief of the poor and the prevention of

the sun Is Made.
Let Us see II we have the necessary
data for asccrtaining what this solar ma
terial must be. We are first confronted
with the fundamental question As to
whether it is likely 10 BE- composed OF
elements found ON the earth. There was
time no doubt when 10 might have
been urged that in all probability the
solar elements were 50 far different from
INV bodies known to terrestrial chemists
that the solar clouds must be constituted
Of something altogether beyond our cog
nizance But this view cannot be sus-
tanned in the present state Of science.
Nothing is more remarkable in the re-
cent advance Of knowledge than the
clear demonstration Of the fundamental
unity between the elements present III
the celestial bodies and those elements
Of which the earth is composed II Is no
doubt true that We have found grounds
for believing that there may be one OK
two elements in the sun which we do not
find here.
We have indeed assigned to these
dimly discerned elements the hypothet-
ical names Of coronium and helium-
But even if such bodies exist at all they
are certainly wanting in the essential
qualities that must be attributed to any
element which purports to be the active
component Of the photospheric clouds
There cannot be reasonable doubt that
the sun is mainly composed Of elements
both well known and abundant on the
earth Ii 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 composite body
formed Of the gases-oxyyen and hydro
gen The multitude Of composite bodies
is, Of course. innumerable. and the task
Of searching for the solar constituents
would therefore seem To be an endless
one, unless We We're 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. II is well
known that at a heat resembling that at
which the photoSphere is maintained
chemical compounds cannot in general
exist. Ordinary chemical compounds ex
posed TO temperatures Of such elevation
are instantly resolved into their elemen-
tary compoEentS IL is thus manifest
that in 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 u choice among some 81 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 il is very likely
that the others do really exist there also

Mrs Henry Ward Eeeeher's Engagement
Lasted Seven Year,.

In discussing the subject of school life
and graduation exercises with New York
reporter the other day Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher said: 1t is IS years since left
school. l never was graduated except from
sickbed, for l was taken i'll while at
school and did not return to finish the
course. l commenced teaching Then
became engaged. My engagement lasted
seven years, and during that time taught
more or less. Times have changed since
then, she continued retiectively. 1t was
customary in my day for girls TO become
engaged at once after leaving school 1t
was considered the fitting climax to a
school career, and women never dreamed
OF profession and independence as they
do now.

Well, he was hoaxing you,' said Mr..
Beecher. She knows nothing Of music,
and he would never marry any one who
couldn't sing. / know never would
In the course Of the evening it was
proposed that we should have some music,
and Mr.. Beecher was asked to get his flute
He did so and then asked me II I would
not sing with them.
II can't. never sang . note in my
life, answered.
Six months after that he asked me a
very important question.
But you know can't sing, and you
remember what you said Of your class
