Is the sun turning Up?

Thousands of curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun, although he
has whirlCd his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues to
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened i'll the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is u ball of gas, but even u great globe
of gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom in the curse of IL few thousand
years. Others say that fires are kept up
by the burning of the remains of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to its my. FERROUS, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take IN opposite view declare
that it is u monstrously absurd cunclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion on the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
a mountain range consisting Of 176
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough to keep up
the present rate of heat fu< single sec
Ond, and that Il mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for 93 years. If
these conclusions are correct, we may
well ask, OF what wonderful, indie
structible substance is our great light

Elegance is reached in the Holland
tea table, its standard richly carved i'll

complete tea service Of delft accompanies
it, making it II drawing appoint

How fascinating are the belts and
sashcs which form such important items
in the fashions of the moment! Close
fitting. deep folded belts made of satin
or silk are worn with toilets of silk, fine
mohair and grass lawn. The newest
ribbon belts are finished off with Il FLAG
piping on each side Of white silk or
satin, but if the belt is black or dark i'll
color the piping may be in u ligh;, con-
trasting shade. Loosely draprd sashcs
look best on youthful figures, and folded
belts crossed i'll front are most becoming
to slender shapes. Even plain dresses
may be converted into smart, stylish
toilets if the belt o. sash and the collar
Ind bows are chosen to correspond and
in good taste.-New York Advertiser.
