OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
When the sun Dies the Earth Will
Rapidly Freeze.

Our sun is now yellow star, similar
to Capella, and hence it will eventually
become bluish-white, like Sirius and
Vega. The secular shrinkage of the
suns radius viii cause a steady rise
in its temperature. and when the body
has reached the stage of Sirius, where
the temperature is, perhaps. doubled,
the light emitted will become intensely
blue. The temperature may be expect
ed to go on rising till a small radius is
attained, and finally, when the dense
mass, intensely hot, becomes incapa-
bic of further Shrinkage on account of
increase in the molecular forces resist
ing condensation, a cooling will gradu-
ally ensue, after which the body Will
liquefy and then rapidly decline in
splendor The sun will thenceforth be
wrapped in eyerla sting darkness, and
the chill of death will overtake the
planetary system. 4 condition of
darkness thus follows close upon a
period of intense brilliancy. and hence
the obscurity Of such bodies as the
compa MONS of Sirius PrOcyon and
Algol The most obscure satellites are
thus associated with some of the
brightest and most intensely luminous
stars in our sky. and here the smaller
of the two masses, as in the case Of
the planets of the solar system, have
developed most rapidly.
In view of this approaching eXtinc-
ton of the suns activity, it becomes
matter of interest to inquire how long
its heat will sustain life upon the earth.
Though it IS difficult to submit the sub
iect to accurate computation, it is easy
to see that the exhaustion of the suns
light and heat certainly will not occur
for several hundred thousand, and per
haps not for several million years
Thus the ultimate doom of our solar
system need occasion no anxiety among
those now living, but the result is phil
osophically interesting to those who
look several million years into the fu-
ture.
An experiment has shown that the
suns vertical rays falling continuous
" upon terrestrial ice would melt a
layer three centimeters In thickness per
day, 1t follows that a similar shell Of
Ice would form over the earth in case
the suns light and heat We're cut off:
thus in a month the whole earth would
be frozen like the polar regions, and
only the deeper bodies Of water, con
tanning a great amount of heat, would
remain In a liquid state. The oceans
themselves would freeze over within
a few years at the latest, and the winds
and even the tides would cease to agi-
tate the terrestrial globe. which would
henceforth spin in its orbit as a rigid,

CLARK's SWEET TOOTH.
The Delaware Convict Fensting on
Pudding and the Like.


Trenton, n. j., July 9.-Thomas S. Clark,
who is serving a fve-year term in the
State prison here for connection with the
robbery of s1O7.OO from the First Ma
tional Bank. of Dover Del, and who Las
finished his first year, has been doing a
land office business" among the con-
victs by supplying them with food of
various kinds obtained from outside the
prison. According to the story of the
officials who have just learned the facts
Clark smuggled letters out of the prison
through eXpressmen and other drivers. who
daily enter the yards. Whether they were
begging letters to friends or whether they
contained saleab!e articles is not known,
but some of them We're answered by money
remttances.
In this way Clark established intimate
relations with the drivers and they in
vested his money for him in the edibles
and brought them to the prison for MIN.
The traffic continued several months and
business was so good that such delicacies
as cherry pudding, broiled shad packed in
ice. canned chicken, sardines, olives. and
cake were handled. Colonel Cooper, who
is serving n shorter term than Clark for
completely in the robbery gave the matter
away, fearing exposure and the loss Of his
time for good behavior. He is said to
have informed Prison Keeper Moore that
Clark was growing bold and reckless in
his methods, and that il allowed to go on
another month he would have a depart
ment store established in the prison.
Cooper is Clarks cell mate. Several
turnkeys are accused of having protited by
Clark's enterprise, and if the investigation
shows this to be true they will be dis
charged. Clark, like Cooper, is a Govern
ment prisoner and is certain to serve every
hour of his term.

KINGS PALACE.

provisions are not law and of legal force
and binding effect. If not, then it must
be concluded that no enactment of the
legislative branch of the Government is
law.
1T seems necessarily to follow that the
appointment of a person 10 position in
the classified service by any other means
or method than as precribed in the proyis-
ions quoted is an absolutely unlawful act
on the part of the appointing officer, be-
cause it is not only contrary to the pro-
visions of law, but because such appoint
ment is prohibited in express terms of the
law. Such action of the appointing officer
is, then, void. The person thus appointed
occupies a position not only without au-
thority Of law, but against the express pro-
hibition of the law, and consequently the
occupant has no right to any emolument
or compensation accruing by reason of un
lawful, void and prohibited acts on the
part not only of the appointing officer, but
also of the appointee himself.
THE whole matter, then, resolves itself
into the question of how, If at all. posi-
tion once regularly in the classified SER
vice, and hence subject to the require
ments of the law as to appointment there
TO- may be removed or excepted from such
requirements.
Bearing upon this question, please note
carefully the provisions ABOVE quoted from

act"
In support of the authority OF the Civil
Service Commission. Mr.. Proctor quotes
the decision Of Judge Cox in the recent
case of Woods VS.. the Postmaster General,
referring to the civil service rules:
There can be no doubt as to the power Of
Congress or any other legislative body to dele
gate to subordinate authorities the power to make
rules and regulations within certain limits which,
when made, will have the force Of law.
I'm view of the Importance of the case,
the Commission respectfully requests that,

TO RACE WITH BALLOONS.

NOEel contest.
Paris, July Arrangements are being
made for a balloon race here between
prominent automobolists. Automobile
racing has bred a desire for greater ex-
citement. Automobilists, it seems, want
not only the earth for their contests, but
the sky as well. The terms OF the balloon
race have already been determined. The
loser is to pay all expenses.
The parties TO the contest are Comte de
Chasseloup-Loubat and Rene de Kuyh on
one side. and Charron and Etienne Giraud
on the other. The race will be for maxi
mum distance, and the winners are to be
the ones who cover the greater number OF
miles. II. Charron is havin ga special
car built, much lighter than the ordinary
