Is the Sun Burning In

Thousands OF curious and ingenious
theories have been advanced to account
for the effect that the sun. although he
has whirled his burning disk across the
heavens for untold ages, continues to
burn without being consumed or his
bulk being lessened in the least. Some
of our most learned astronomers believe,
or pretend to believe, that the great orb
is ball Of gas, but even o great globe
OF gas would be consumed to its utmost
atom IN the course of few thousand
years. Others say that fires are kent up
by the burning of the remains of wrecked
worlds which are constantly falling in
to Its mysterious, burning depths. But
even this seems far from probable, and
those who take an opposite view declare
that 1t Is monstrously absurd conclu-
sion. In summing up his opinion ON the
last conclusion one of the most eminent
astronomers of the day has figured that
mountain range consisting of I76
cubic miles could fall into the sun and
yet not furnish fuel enough to keep I'D
the present rate Of heat for single Sec
ond, and that mass equal to our earth
would only furnish heat for SO years. If
these conclusions are correct, we NAV
well ask, OF what wonderful, indie
structible substance is our great light
glyer nrosed:-Exchange.

An Initiative Monkey,

One OF the drollest instances Of the
monkeys keenness Of observation and
power Of mimicry that we have met
with is the following: A retired admi-
raj and his wife living ut Choltenhau
had favorite monkey. One day tie
lady, hearing strange noise in the
dining room. looked in TO see what IL
was. The sight which met her eyes was
o ludicrous one. Seated in the arm
chair. with the admiral's smoking can
ON his head and the ndmiral's specta.
cies ON his nose, was the monkey, and
In his hand was the open newspaper.
which he shook and patted, while he
1abbered and gesticulated with great
emphasis mt the cat. which lay blinking
ON the hearth rug. 1t was a clever and
carefully studied imitation Of the testy
old admiral's tone and manner when
reading TO his wife some passage from
the newspaper which excited his wrath
or indignation.
II is strange that so little ATTEMPT is
made to utilize this strong initiative
faculty in monkeys. They might easily
be trained TO perform ms athletes and
acrobats. Some so years ago AN Italian
count. who had villa ON the shore Of
Lake Albano. kept n monkey which he
bad taught both 90 row and sail small
tkih. The monkey used 20 navigate this
tiny craft with great skill. but unfor-
tunately one day, when climbing the
mast he cspsized the boat and was
drowned. As Jockeys. monkeys might
surely be made useful and would fulfil
every purpose for which the manikins
who ride ON race horses are artificially
stunted and sweated. Jour.

The I-oiland Tea Table.

Elegance is reached in the Holland
tea table, its standard richly carved in
mahogany or antique oak and inlaid
with medallions in delft. The top is a
movable tray in the beautiful china
mounted in brass with heavily chased
handles OF the metal ut either end. A
complete tea service Of delft accompanies
1t, making it a drawing room appoint
ment OF great beauty and expense. The
well informed hostess, although delight.
ed IN its possession, will not claim for
1t genuineness. knowing that the lovely
blue china now such craze is but a
close imitation. Only one perfect service
OF real old Holland delft is owned in
this country, and that descended from
Dutch ancestors and is SO valuable ms to
be without fixed price.-Philadelphis
