TIE SUMS CARBON.
Its Ebb and Flow on the Surface of the
Great Luminary.

Its Ebb and Flow on the Surface of the
Great Luminary.
Even at the risk of telling what
every schoolboy ought to know I
will say that carbon is one of the
common3st as we'll as one of the
most remarkable substances in ma
ture. a lump of coke only differs
from piece OF carbon by the ash
which the coke leaves behind when
burned. AS charcoal is almost en-
tirely carbon, so wood is largely
composed of this same element.
Carbon is indeed present every
where. In various forms carbon is
in the earth beneath our feet and in
the air which we breathe. This sub
stance courses with the blood
through our veins. 1t is by carbon
that the heat of the body is sustain
ed, and the same element is init
mately associated with life in every
phase.
Nor is the presence of carbon
merely confined to this earth We
know it abounds on other bodies in
space. 1t has been known to be emil
nently characteristic of the compo-
sition of comets. Carbon is not on
~ intimately associated with arti-
oles of daily utility and of plenteous
but with the most ex-
quisite gems of 'purest ray serene
More precious than gold, more pre-
oious than rubies, the diamond it.
self is no more than the same ele-
ment in crystalline form. But the
greatest of all the functions of car
bon in the universe has yet to be
mentioned. This same wonderful
element has been shown to be in all
probability the material which con-
stitutes those glowing solar clouds
to whose kindly radiation our very
life owes its origin.
There is no known metal and per- !
baps no substance whatever which |
demands so high temperature to /
fuse it as does the element carbon.
A flament of carbon-and a fila. !
nent of carbon alone-will remain
INFUSED and unbroken when heated |
by the electric current to the daZ-
5ling brilliance necessary for effect
We illumination. This is the reason
Why this particular element is so
Indispensable for our incandescent
electric lamps Modern research has
low taught US that just as the eleo-
rioian has to employ carbon as the
agent in producing the
brightest of artificial lights down
lere so the sun in heaven uses pre-
isely the same element as the i'm
Mediate agent in the production of
is transcendent light and heat.
owing to the extraordinary fervor
which prevails in the interior part
# the sun, all substances there pres.
mt, no matter how difficult we may
ind their fusion, would have to sub.
nit to be melted-nay, even to he
riven off into vapor. If submitted
0 the heat of this appalling solar :
an iron poker, for instance,
would vanish into invisible vapor.
We can now understand what hap.
ems as the buoyant carbon vapors
oar upward through the SUM- at q
1osphere. They attain at last to {
n elevation where the fearful inten- g
ity of the solar heat has so far c
bated that, though nearly all other I
lements may still remain entirely I
aseous, yet the exceptionally re. /
FACTORY carbon begins to return to t
le liquid state. At the first stage '

A HOTEL BEAT.

In the police court yesterday afternoon
a complaint was sworn out by j. b.
Macarthur proprietor of the Hotel st.
Angelo, at Temple street and Grand ave-
rue, upon which a warrant was issued
for the arrest of George Lumsden on
charge of beating Macarthur out of a
weeks board and lodging Lumsden first
appeared in this city at the Nadeau ho-
tel, where he came in one night and
represented that he had ridden in from
Redlands. and that his baggage was
coming by express. The next morning
he skipped out, failing to pay for his
accommodations.
To the st. Angelo clerks he stated that
his baggage was coming from Riverside
and got a room for week. He was fine
ly educated and claimed to have been
captain of the Bengal 1ancers of her
British majesty Of the army of India.
For the short time of his stay he cut
quite a dash and went in good society.
Now he has flown and the places that
once knew him know him no more. II
he is captured, which is unlikely, he Will
probably be called upon to do time on
the chain gang.
