Tho Suns Temperature.

Estimates Of the SUMS temperature
have ranged from $4,000, 900 degrees
down to 5000 degrees T. At the Mos.
COW observatory Professor Ceraski has
repeated the old experiment of measur-
ing tho heat of direct sunlight at the
focus of G mirror, the mirror in this
case being very accurately made and
having focal length Of about 80 inches.
The result was $500 degrees G. (G,300
degrees F.. }, showing only that the solar
temperature is greater than this. A
measurement of the heat reflected from
an arc lamp was then made, the tenn
perature in the focus Of the mirror prov
ing to be only 100 degrees to 105 de-
grees c., although the arc itself was
known to have q temperature Of very
nearly $500 degrees. From this it is
argued that the temperature Of the sun
must be very much more than $500 de-
grees, while it is believed that this
method may lead to an accurate esti-
mate

Naval Nomenclature.

Our naval nomenclature has never
been very happy. 1t was not until 40
years ago, when we launched the last
and the finest of the wooden walls, that
we had systematic nomenclature. The
line OF battle ships were still to be
named for states, only we did not build
any. But the naming of frigates for
rivers and Of first class cofvets for
cities and Of second class corvets- really
gunboats-for Indian tribes was at
least al Ineligible system of classical
tlon IT not an inspiring method of recall
ing patriotic glories. This is what the
legal system came t., although in fact
second rates could be named after either
rivers Or towns.
Now those who go down to sea in
battleships recall in the names of their
vessels the maritime glories of Indiana
and Iowa. or, if they go down in cruis-
ers, may rejoice in the names Of Ameri-
can towns, though inland far they
be-" like Minneapolis and Chicago.
Only in the steamships of the third
Glass;" which are to be named "as the
president may Direct" can our naval
glories be echoed by the commemoration
Of our naval heroes. And the steamships
Of the third class in the new navy seem
to be confined to the torpedo boats.
Hence it has happened that when a de-
sire to do honor to Farragut made itself
felt in the department there was no
better mode of appeasing it than to
name torpedo boat after the hero of
New Orleans and Mobile bay.-Harper s
