SULPHUR SHOWERS,
An Erroneous Name Given to Pine Pollen
Carried by the Wind.

Carried by the Wind.
In the spring. and especially in early
spring, in the vicinity of Washington,
it frequently happens that after a
shower the edge of every pool of water
in the streets and along the sidewalks
will be bordered by rim of pale yell
low color As the water evaporates
this ring remains as fine powdery
mass. so much resembling sulphur as
TO have given rise to the popular name
of sulphur showers.
This sc-called sulphur is, Of course,
not really sulphur, but when examined
under the microscope. is found to be
made up of a moss of the yellowish
pollen grains of pine trees. Instead
of consisting of a single cell. as do
most pollen grains, this consists Of
three cells, the two larger end ones
being filed with air and the other con-
tanning the ordinary fertilizing princi-
pie. The two air-containing cells are
larger than the other and act like bal.
looms 20 buoy it up in the air.
In the pine. and allied trees fertili-
zation of the cones. by which they are
enabled to set and develop seeds, is ac-
complished by the wind. That is the
pollen is produced in immense quaint
ties and is transported through the air
to the cones, which are often on sera-
rate, widely distant trees. II thus often
happens that the pollen get. uP in the
higher currents Of the air. is carried
for long distances, and is only brought
down 70 the earth BIZ the rsir. produc-
ing the so-called shower OF sulphur.
4 shower Of this kind occurred In
Washington in March 1885. and was
sufficient in amount 20 he very notice
able. By careful investigation il was
concluded that no Pine trees could pos
.ibly be in flower at that particular
season nearer than Alabama, Georgia
and the CarolinsS. 1t was recalled that
the rain had been preceded By strong
wind from the south. which had borne
the pollen for hundreds Of miles and
precipitated or Deposited IL during The
rain storm.-Wsshin:toH Star.

A NAVAL FLYING COLUMN.
Difficulties Encountered In Maneuvering {
Large Water Force.

Oimculties Encountered In ManeuverinS Q
Large Water Force.
1t is impossible for us to GO far. or to
stay out long, without extraneous sup
plies. 1t must either arrange to pass
from friendly port to friendly port,
drawing coal form each Out at the
same time giving notice of its where
abouts. just as if il were marching on
land,) or it must take a train with it
just like any military flying column
But then it must be assured of non
hostile anchorages in which TO trans
fer the coal and stores from the trans
ports 20 the war ships. Hence mod
ern naval flying column, passing over
q sea which it does not command, has
difficulties before il which its
ancestors never had As a flo
tilla il may perhaps be dou-
bled in size for any given
strength, if it is to be made independ-
ent of extraneous supply. But every
supply ship added TO it makes ii less
likely to be able TO put TO sea unob-
served or unattached. To avoid this
danger il must be very small. II can
only be large when frontier defense
fails, but then it marches by reason Of
its force. as Wellington marched in
1913, giving up the Lisbon base, or as
Sherman marched. giving up the Mis-
sissippi base, III 1864.
If naval flying column can march,
not by force, but by evasion, without
train, and so keep its fighting power
coterminous with its size, il must
either have its objective at a very short
distance, or, if its objective is at a
great distance, it must have a friendly
port open near the objective, al
ready stored with coal and NUM-
tons. Wellington could not pos
eibly have marched to fight the
battle of Vittoria had he not been
relying on supplies coming TO him from
over sea 10 Ssntander and other north
ern Spanish ports. Sherman could not
possibly have marched across the con-
federate states if he had not known
that his friends were in possession of
Port Royal and other places on the
sea coast where he could receive sup
plies.
1t is not possible for flying column,
either by land or sea, TO march 10 a
great distance and forwith deliver a
heavy attack. Even those extremely |
light flying columns. the confederate !
Alabamas, succumbed one after an
other, either directly, like the Sumter, /
or indirectly, like the Alabama her
self, to the memorable law of supply. |

THE LOCATION OF EDEN.
1t Is Matter of Dispute Among Scholars
of Different Nations.

of Different Nations.
The location of the earthly paradise.
or Garden of Eden, is still matter of
dispute among orientalists and scrip
tural scholars Of highest reputation.
Some have endeavored to locate it by
the fruits and mineral productions
named in the biblical descriptions as
they appear in the second chapter of
Genesis; others by the rivers mentioned
il verses eleven to fourteen of the
above mentioned chapter. The weight
of investigation and tradition incline
to an agreement that the Tigris and
the Euphrates Of modern geograp Apply
are the third and fourth rivers mem
toned in the biblical description of the
garden. Those who agree so far differ
widely as to what rivers should now be
regarded as the ancient Pison and
Gihon. The Buddhistic scholars, al
though they reject our Bible in the
greater part, incline to the opinion that
the Pison IS the sacred Ganges, and
that the Gihon is none other than the
Nile. AS to the last it is altogether
probable that they are correct on that
point because the biblical account
plainly says that Gihon ''compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia" Some in
designations affirm that Eden was
spot of comparatively small area To-
Gated on the table lands of what is now
Armenia, from which rise the Tigris
and the Euphrates. A few scholars OF
distinction argue that the Adamic
Paradise was located in Africa, in the
vicinity of the Mountains of the Moon.
Still another school of orientalists To-
cate the celebrated garden in the vi
cinity of the ancient city of Babylon.
You will notice. however. that mono
OF these theorists have been able to get
the four rivers mentioned in the biblical
account properly located; neither have
they found a place where one great
river separates into four heads" This
being the case it is hardly necessary TO
add that the exact location of Eden is
mystery that will probably never b.
solved.-St. Louis Republic.

Important Improvements In Methods Of
Studying tho Suns Surface.

Three-fourths of the suns energy
that reaches the earth is in waves. as
they are called, that are too long to af-
feet the eye in the form of light, but
these ''infra-red" waves play an i'm
portant part in sustaining life, and a
further study of the.spectrum in which
they are arranged will probably be the
means of solving many important and
now obscure problems in meteorology
and kindred subjects. This lower part
of the solar spectrum was first explored
to any considerable extent by Mr..
Langley in 1881, and within the past
few months he has extended the de-
tails of his original map through an
entirely automatic process, by means
OF the bolometer. an instrument es-
pecially devised for the purpose. and
brought to such wonderful sensitive
ness that it can detect a change of tenn
perature Of less than one one-millionth
of a degree.
The latest determination Of the dis
tance of the sun from the earth is from
a discussion by DR.. Gill of series of
observations of the asteroid Victoria.
Or. ellis result is ninety-two million
eight hundred thousand miles, a figure
probably very close 70 the truth, and
agreeing well with the value previous
" obtained by Prof. Hardness from all
available data The temperature of
the sun has been reinTestigated BY lie
Chatelier in France, and by Gray and
Wilson in England, and is found to be
between twelve thousand and fourteen
thousand degrees Fahrenheit.
Important improvements have been
made in the methods OF studying the
suns surface by Prof. Hale, OF the uni
.versity Of Chicago, and II. Deslandre.,
Of the Paris observatory. Prof. Hale,
with an instrument. he calls the spec
troheliograph," secured in 1891 the first
photograph of the spectrum of prom
inence from the surface Of the IN
eclipsed sun, and he has even photo
graphed successfully the forms of these
enormous jets Of burning gas. as well
as the spot. and facule Or little shin
ing points upon the suns surface.
These photographs show that the
facula are distributed al over the sun,
instead OF being near the edge only,
and their further study must assured
" add much 10 our knowledge OF the
suns corstitu-ion.-Harp Weekly.

Wool and Iron--Gold Shipments Heavy
business Failures for the Week.
New York, Jan. 1s.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
| will say: There are some good signs
but they do not as yet extend TO BUSH
| ness generally, which hesitates much
| as it has done for months. Gold con-
tinues to go abroad, IS, $50, 900 having
gone this week and the deficit of reve-
nue. is already over $500, 900 for the
| month. This state OF facts, with the
failure Of congress to make provisions
for borrowing or for increasing reve-
still operates to retard wholesome re-
covery, and the volume of domestic
trade represented by exchanges
through clearing houses is again about
per cent larger than last year, es it
was in the first week Of the month, but
is 1871 percent smaller than two years
ago, higher rate Of decease than for
some time past. The industries are
melting larger demands for some pro-
ducts since the new year began, but are
less for others and no definite improve
ment appears in prices OF manufacture
ed products or in " sLS. IN the main

hope that positive Improvement is

the increase being in foreign wool.
