The Source of Sunlight.

We can now understand what hap
pens as the buoyant carbon vapors soar
upwards through the suns atmosphere.
They attain at least to an elevation
where the fearful intensity of the solar
heat has so far abated that, though
nearly all other elements may still re-
main entirely gaseous. yet the excep-
tionally refractory carbon begins to re-
turn to the liquid state. At the first
stage in this return, the carbon vapor
conducts itself just as does the ascend
ing watery vapor from the earth when
about to be transformed into a visible
cloud. Under the influence of a chill
the carbon vapor collects into myriad
host of little beads of liquid. Each of
these drops Of liquid carbon in the glo-
rious solar clouds has a temperature
and corresponding radiance vastly
exceeding that with which the f1lament

I'm PARTIAL

4 remarkable instance of the impair

have occurred some years ago in a court
of Texas when a young Mexican, charg
ed with having stolen pistol, was ar
raipned. He proved beyond all doubt
that the pistol was his own, and that it
had been in his possession long before
the alleged theft occurred.
The case went to the jury at 2
o'clock, the usual hour of adjournment,
and the jury, who did not wish to be
kept until the court opened again at 3
O'Clock, hurried to give in their verdict
The foreman, who had been reclining
in a peaceful attitude suggestive of
slumber during the hearing, turned to
his companions, saying:

A DEAF MUTE ROMANCE.

Confirmed 1t on Sight.
Miss Lille E. Owens of Pittsburg
and Jonathan Haney of South Bethle-
hem, Pa, have just been married at
Pittsburg. Both are deaf mutes and be-
long to families of good standing.
Mr.. Haney and Miss Owens became
attached TO each other before they had
met or even seen one another. A mutual
friend who knew both well thought that
their likes and dislikes were not dissimi-
lar, aud he believed they would appre-
ciate an acquaintance. Over year ago
he urgently requested Mr.. Haney to
write to Miss Owens, which the young
South Bethlehemite did. Miss Divvens
answered the letter, which did not reach
her Unexpectedly, and the correspond
ence became warm. Mr.. Haney proposed
by mail, making the fulfillment OF the
obligation conditional upon the mutual
satisfaction of one with another.
He went to Pittsburg last October to
see his intended bride, and when they
met and had seen something of each
other, both were we'll satisfied to have
their acquaintance lead TO the altar.
Miss Divvens is % years Of age and
prepossessing. She was educated in the
Western Pennsylvania Institute for the
Deaf and Dumb at Edgewood. She spent
seven years in her mental training, leav
ing the institute about five years ago.
Her home is at 30 Pride street, Pitts
burg. Mr.. Haney is "a years old, and
employed in the Bethlehem Steel works.

sionary to the deaf in the United States,

prove of marriage between deaf mutes.
He says as a rule their children possess
unimpaired faculties. - Philadelphia

Its editor is convict, but his paper is

No one knows his real name.
'Joe Bush serves the purpose, said
the man who selected the name when he

Articles of Incorporation have been
filed by the Crystal Rock Salt Min
ing Co." of San Francisco, with cap

500 have been subscribed by Chas. u.
Ahlborn, SANFORD Bennett, Meyer
Lewis, Julius Reimer, S. Lewis, l..
Dorm and Ben Lewis.
The Crystal Rock Salt Mine is stu
ated in San Bernardino county, ana
produces a salt of superior quality
which, according to analysis mace py
Professor l.. Falkenau, OF the Otate
Assay Office in San Francisco, Is touno
to be chemically pure. At the instance
of Norton, Teller & Roden, and other
San Francisco houses, a number OF
tests were made, with the result that
the salt produced from this mine mas
been found to be equal to the best Eng
Iish salt in the market for butter max
ing and table use, and for meat and
fish packing, milling and dairy pur-
poses The lump stock salt from this
mine is preferred by the large cattle
companies to any other salt, by reason
of its purity, dryness and solldlty; also
because it is the most economical for
stock feeding. Owing to its hrmness
and purity it does not deliquesce when
placed out on the ranges.
The company CONTROLS over 1000
acres of mining ground in which the
salt is mined from large deposits, as
clear and transparent as crystals. The
mine is connected with Salt Rock Sta
tion (Danby) on the Atlantic q Pacific
r. K. by road extending thlrty-two
miles, especially constructed by the
Traction Engine Company, and upon
which the company successfully oper-
ates a train of traction engine and
wagons, constructed by the Best Manu-
featuring Company of San Leandro,
Cal.
The company is about to commence
the erection of extensive works at the
mine, and upon their completion will
be enabled to supply the purest salt
ever produced for butter making, table
use, meat and fish-packing. Lump salt
for stock-feeding and milling purposes
is now being shipped.
The buildings at the mine are con-
structed of salt, and the company is
about to erect an Office building at the
railroad station out of rock salt, which
will attract great attention. Passen-
gers on the train passing this station
are now in the habit of getting off the
train for the purpose of securing crys-
tails of salt as keepsakes.
In the sunlight building construct
ed of this salt appears as if it was COW

while in the pulpit big barber's chair
served for the pastors seat.
The sermon was replete with BARRIERS
terms, and the preacher drew lessons in
life from the various articles on view.

CONSUMPTION CURED
AN ABSOLUTE REMEDY FOR ALL

ties Free of His Remedy to Cure
Consumption and All Lung Troubles
An Elixir of Life.
Nothing could be fairer, more phi an
the offer of T. A. SlOcum, Nj. c., OF 183
Pearl street. New York. Perfectly conf
dent that he has an absolute remedy for
the cure of consumption and all pulmon-
airy complaints, he offers through this pa
per to send two bottles free to any reader
who is suffering from lung trouble or con-
sumption, also loss of flesh and all condl-
tons of wasting. He invites those desir-
Gus of obtaining this remedy to send their
express and pOstoffice address, and to re-
ceive in return the two bottles free, which
will arrest the approach OF death. Already
this remedy, by it's timely use, has per-
manently cured thousands of cases which
were given up, and death was looked upon
as an early visitor.
Knowing his remedy as he does, and be-
ing so proof-positive of its beneficent re-
suIts, DR.. Slooum considers it his religious
duty a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible remedy where it
will assault the enemy in its citadel. and,
by it's inherent potency, stay the current
of dissolution, bringing joy to homes over
which the shadow OF the grave has been
gradually growing more strongly defined,
causing fond hearts to grieve. The cheap
ness of the remedy-offered freely-apart
from its inherent strength, is enough to
commend it, and more so is the PERFECT
confidence of the great chemist making the
offer, who holds out life to those already
becoming emaciated, and says: "Be
cured.'
The invitation is certainly worthy of the
consideration OF the afflicted, who, for
years, have been taking nauseous nostrums
without effect; who have ostracised them
selves from home and friends to live in
more salubrious chimes, where the atmos-
and who have fought against death with
all the weapons and strength in their
hands. There will be no mistake in send
ing for these free bottles-the mistake will
be in passing the invitation by.
