A Good Record.

Brigadier General Zenas Randall
Bliss, whose nomination as major
general was recently sent to the sem
ate, will not reach the retiring age un-
til April II, 1899. In the civil war
he received the rank of brlgadier
general of volunteers, at the request
of General Grant and other superior
officers, for gallantry and meritorlous
services at Fredericksburg, Va, and
in the Vicksburg campaign. At the
beginning of the war he was in COM
mand at Fort Quitman, Tex, and
was forced to abandon 1t, marching
GOO miles to San Antonio. On May
Q, 1861, he and his command were
taken prisoners at Adams Hill, Tex.
and he was held as prisoner of wa

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed, you have a rumbllng
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inhamed condition Of the mu-
cous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

What Keeps the Sun Hot.
II Will Probably Keep Warm for 20 Million
Years.

According to the most recent in
vestigations the temperature of the
sun is somewhere between 5000 and
6ooo degrees centigrade, and there
are reasons for believing that for hun
dreds ofthousands, perhaps for millions
OF years, it has been radiating heat
into space with no appreciable loss of
temperature. Were the sun simply a
cooling mass Of stone or metal it must
ages ago have lost both its heat and
its light were it globe of burning
carbon it can easily be calculated that
it would have burned out in about
6ooo years. Where, then, does it get
its heat supply3 is a question fre-
quently asked.
We are so accustomed to regard
fire, combustion, as the principal
source OF heat, or at any rate, of in
tense heat, that it is not easy to real.
ize that there may be other sources,
equally abundant, from which the sun
may obtain its perennial supply ofthis
article. Astronomers long since dis
carded the idea that there is any sort
of combustion going on in the sun.
Its heat is, more probably, of that sort
known in physics as mechanical heat
heat that is produced by friction,
by hammering or compression. We
are familiar enough with the first two
sources, though ordinarily the amount
Of heat which we perceive to be thu:
developed is not great but heat pro
duced by compression is not so often
brought to our notice. From vari
ETY. of experiments, however, it can be
shown that whenever a metal, as {
piece of lead, or the air, or, indeed
any gas, is forcibly compressed hea
is evolved, and this is the source tC
which astronomers are now inclined
to look for the main supply ofthe sola
energy. This idea was first suggest
= ed by Helmholz, and it has been take,
: up and elaborated by Lord Kelvin
: According to the theory of these scien
: lists the sun, which is simply mas
of gaseous matter, is now and ha
n been for ages contracting its diner
t sions-is growing smaller, and tn
: mechanical heat produced in this pre-
t cess is precisely that which it is cor
n tinually throwing off into space. Lor
). Kelvin calculated that contractio
It of the sun, under the force of gravity
i which diminished its diameter to tn
e extent of four miles century, woul
n fully account for its heat supply, enol
r. nous as it is. The sun might col
x tract at this rate for several thousan
e years before there would be any dim
r. mutton of its size perceptible eve
# through telescope. OF course, tn
i process has limit, and eventually II
It sun, having become too dense to col
e tract further, must begin to cool of
Of but not for some ten or twenty millic

TAX ON ALCOHOL.
1t Should Be Equiiably Distributed Among
All Beverages That Contain II.

General John McNulta, receiver
for the Distilling and Cattle Feeding
company of Chicago, says grain pro-
ducers are the men most interested in
the internal revenue tax, and that
naturally the manner in which the
duties proposed are levied is of vital
importance to all farmers. General
McNulta believes that the equality OF
taxation by the taxing of all alcohol
alike seems to have been overlooked
by the men in Washington.
"The tax on spirits" said Gen
eral McNulta recently, "should be a
tax that can be collected on sub
stantially all of the product; an equit
able tax that will produce the great
est amount of revenue with the leas
obstruction to the industrial interests
of the country, and that will do the
most to restrict or limit the evils o
intemperance.
" 1t should be the same sum pei
proof gallon on all alcohol produced
and used for like purpose-that i
to say, whisky, rum, gin, brandy
wine, beer, ale and all other spiritu
Gus, vinous or malt liquors should b.
