Light aud Heat.

In accounting for solar cncrgy-light and
hcat-various theories have been put forth,
the principal among these being as fol.
lows: First, that there is now being given
off the energy impaired Mt creation by di-
vine agency; second, that it is burning up;
third, that 1t is caused by currents of elcc.
tricity generated by itself; fourth, that il
is heated and supplied with fuel by comets
running into 1t; fifth, that stream of
mcteoric matter is pouring into it from
the regions Of space and the arrested mo.
ton is converted into heat; sixth, that the
mass romans constant and the tompera-
turc is maintained by diminution in its
size tho contraction, though slow, being
sufficient to account for tho phenomena,
und slow enough to keep up tho present
supply Tor millions of years; seventh. that
the suns rotation causes constant flow
of gases from equator to poles with u rapid
ity sufficient to heat the gases, dccom pose
them and burn them up. The sixth of these
theories is the one now generally main
tained by scientists, but belief is declared
to be growing that electric currents be-
tween the planets and the sun serve, mt
least partially, to maintain the tempcra-
ture Of the latter.-Ncw York Sun.

BIRDS AT SEA.

by Sir Edwin Arnold.
Sir Edwin Arnold, in On account of his
VOYAGE to America, says: EVERY day we
see playing around the ship and skim
ming up and down the wave hollows COM
panies of lovely little terms and SEQ swal-
lows, the latter no larger than thrushes.
These fearless people Of the waste have not
by any means followed us from the land,
living, as gulls often will, on the waste
thrown from the vessel.
They are vague and casual roamers of
the ocean, who, spying tho great steam
ship from afar, have sailed close up to see
II we are rock or IN island, and will
then skip away again on their own free
and boundless business. Yonder tiny
bird, with purple and green plumago, his
little brease and neck laced with silver, is
distant l, 900 miles at this moment from a
drop of fresh water, md yet cares no more
Tor that fact than did the Irish squire who
lived IL miles from lemon
III his wings ever grow weary, 1t Is but
to settle on tho bosom Of great billow
and suffer 1t for time to rock and roll
him amid the Kissing spindrift, the milky.
lying foam and tho broken sea lace which
forms and CLEANS and disappears again
upon the dark slopes When he plcuscs, n
stroke Of the small red foot and Il beat of
tho wonderful wing launch him off from
the jagged edge of his billow, and he nits
past us au 100 knots an hour, laughing
steam and canvas to scorn and steering
for some nameless crag in Labrador or
Fundy, OF bound, it may be. homeward
for some island or marsh Of tho faraway
Irish coast.

sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is we'll and favorably known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baflled the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In recent letter he says: "About
