Mathematical Theory.

Scientists have for a century made
computations as to the heat of the suns
surface. but IL remained for Professor
Dolbeare OF Tufts college to arrive a:
the probable temperature by the latest
system of reasoning. Professor Doll
beare at the last meeting Of the Boston
Scientific society vent into details as
to his latest researches. which he said
indicated a temperature of $500 de-
grees Fahrenheit at the suns surface.
and the steps Of reasoning that led to
his conclusion were briefly outlined
and made an exceedingly dramatic
mental struggle for the solution of a
problem.
The professor went necessarily into

JACK. THE CLIPPER, STORIES
Hair Dealer. Put No Faith in Them, and
Tell Why.

From time to time stories appear in
the papers of young girls having been
robbed OF their long treses by men who
suddenly pounce upon them, snip the
braids close to the head II disappear
before assistance can reach the victim.
Hair dealers do not see INTO put much
faith in these stories. One such mer-
chant was asked whether men in his
line bought the bralds reported from
time to time 10 have been clipped from
young girls heads in the streets and
elsewhere. He smiled and said:
Many people think so. but they are
mistaken. If we did purchase the hair
we would not give so cents for the pref
test braid. Some people labor under the
impression that a head of beautiful
tresses is worth s25 to $50. There are in
the large cities houses that buy wo-
mems hair, but IL is my opinion that
very little of the hair cut suddenly
from a woman's head N its way To
them. The prices paid for such goods
are so small that IL would not pay a
person to rob women of their hair. j
have frequently been asked whcthes
tramps or other suspiclous-looking indi-
viduals offer us for sale hair that
might have been slashed from a
woman's head. None has ever entered
our place. Persons with hair gotten

purpose OF selling II. Agents go from

and then skillfully cut II off. Then IL is
sent to factories. where Ii goes through
various processes before 1t Is ready for
the market. This hair I have in my
hand is all Of the same length. The fine
and strong hair and the coarser and
most feeble and the long and short
must be separated. All must be uni
form. These are the reasons then why
we could not utilize hair just cut of"

pies hair?"
we have had such callers. But as
such hair is weak and brittle it cannot
be used In our business"
How do you account for those hair
clipping stories?"
I'VE have our own opinions. Some
times girls get tired of combing and
caring for their hair. Their parents do
not allow them to cut IL off. The next
thing they know some villain has come
along and clipped II of. according to
the girls story. She may have done
the clipping and hidden away the braid.
OF course there may be legitimate cases
of braid stealing or clipping for re-
venge, spite or malice. but as for pro-
fessional hair stealers. never. AS 1
said before. there is nothing in IL. l

radiant energy of this dot has been
measured and found to have a curious
correspondence with the computed en-
ergy of the suns s~urface-viz., at the
rate of 100, 900 horse power to the square
meter.
The foregoing is but n phase Of
an argument that has many contribu-
tory rills OF proof. all of which tends
to accordance with the bow measure
ments. The concluding argument Is
based on the observation that there il
always a definite ratio the on
ergy Of any body and its temperature.
so that II the radiant energy of two
bodies is the same so is their tempera-
ture.
Professor Dolbeare has found that the
temperature of the radiant dot of the
electric arc is nearly $500 degrees
Fahrenheit. hence the probability. in
view of the correspondence In measure
of energy. that the temperature OF the
SUMS surface is $500 degrees Fahren-
heit.

1913, when Joule announced the dis

the historical basis of "Cian OF the Char

clearer idea of the personality and the
temporal authority OF Arthur than any
other book we know OF. But with all its
historical value the artistic possibilities
OF the story are not sighted. The reigns
Of Arthur and of Alfred are the two
reigns most full Of poetical possibilities

THE HOUSE AGAIN TR|cKEO
Persuaded TO Adjourn in the
Afternoon.
DINGLEY GAVE HIS WORD
A Bit of Clumsy Deception Tint Is
It's COnsummatiOn-An DeIgy
OF r'orty-Eight Hours Secured 10y
1t.

A representative of the Administration
tricked Congress into another forty-eight
hours delay yesterday.
During the afternoon Mr.. Dingley
House leader on the floor, moved an ad-
journment until Monday, pledging the
House his word that he had received as
surances which enabled him to state Off
cially that the Senate would not take
vote soon enough for the House to act
Taking Mr.. Dingley at his word, the
members voted an adjournment. Only
few hours later the Senate acted. If the
other body had staid in session, or pro-
vided for a night sitting, as in duty
bound during a grave crisis like this, the
resolutions of the House and Senate
would have materially advanced last
night.
Possibly the Senate resolutions would
have been concurred in. There was
plenty of time.
AT least the resolution could have gone
TO conference and the conferees might
have spent Sunday in the godly duty of
preparing for the national defense.
The House Impatient
There is growing feeling in the House
of Representatives in favor of speedy ac-
ton on the Cuban question. This is
manifested on the Republican as well as
the Democratic side of the chamber. and
1t is more than likely that an effort will
be made to promptly concur in the SEN
ate reolutions.
The Speaker and his trusty leaders are
fully aware of the strength of this sem
timent and they are afraid of it,
Members of both houses turn towards
Mr.. Dingley for an explanation of his
willingness to adjourn in the face of
the general expectation that the Senate
was nearly ready to vote on the Cuban
resolutions.
Mr.. Bailey insisted on a recess until
o'clock in the evening. 1t was only up
on the most positive and emphatic assur-
ance that the Senate would not finish the
resolutions in time for action by the

Europe Wants No Quarrel.
Europe, as a whole. including Eng
land, would be glad to escape the un-
, known complications and dangers
which even a Spanish-American war
must involve for the general peace of
the world. but all alike regard hOstili-
ties now as unavoidable, and their chief
concern is TO make the crisis as brief
as possible To this end it may be safe
" predicted that the unanimous Euro
pean influence win be eXerted to induce
Spain to regard her honor as satisfied
and To surrender Cuba after the short
est resistance In fact, there Is some
ground for the belief that it is this
phase OF the question which has already
become the subject of the pour parlers
which are passing between the powers.
The Austrian ambassador here is
holding daily conferences with Mr.. San
derson at the foreign office. Yesterday
they held two meetings. After the sec
ond, Sanderson sent a queens messen-
ger to MI BaIfour, who is golfng away
the Easter recess near Salisbury. Mr..
/ Balfour's reply ought TO be received
at Downing Street now, but nothing has
transpired.
One of the premiers private secre-
taries says it may be taken for granted
that the powers cannot make further
diplomatic representations. They had
already gone as far as they had any
right TO go in that direction. The col
Il a
with considerable diffidence and Great
Britain was pleased at the amiable
manner with which it was received
by the American Government. ii is
quite a different matter with Spain be-
cause she invited the good offices Of
Europe, and has no right TO complain
if the powers speak TO her Il second time
and in palmer language.
Nevertheless" said the secretary,
there is not man in any chancellery
Of Europe who believes Spain would
grant the condition which the United
States appear 10 insist upon as prece-
dent 10 the prevention of war, that is,
quit Cuba.
You may take II for a fact that
every Iipils'lfA alAA i''if-Si4 SECRETARY
has known all along that Spain will not
abandon Cuba except as part of price
paid for an unsuccessful war"
No Truth in This Humor.
Respecting the rumor that the pow
ers would indulge in naval demon
stration i'm Cuban or American waters,
there has never been the slightest
truth In it. Not a single power would
move ship without the assurance of
British cooperation. Moreover, the
