Conditions in Ponce.

Ponce claims, by her last census, a
population of $4,000 people in her ur-
ban and rural districts of the pro-
vince. In the town proper, however,
the population is 1900, or a little
over, though, by including the villages
of Cantera. Canas and Playa, which
are closely connected together, and lie
on the highway leading to the water
front two miles away, the number may
be raised to 24,500, or quite as many
people as in San Juan proper.
An important factor to men con-
templating a permanent residence in
some town on the island is the possi-
bility of extension of the corporate
limits. Ponce has none OF the natural
barriers to expansion existing at San
Juan, as it is built upon level sur
face, under the edges of the rolling
hills, and at Il considerable elevation
above the sea. 1t can grow readily In
almost any direction with equal facil-
ity, and il has not at its threshold any
of the miasmatic, fetid marshes SO
common to the coast.
There are three hospitals, including
the military; home for the INDECENT
poor, few fair schools, several clubs,
at which Americans are very gracious
ly received: a very pretty little theater,
several hotels and cafes, which are the
best OH the island; library with a few

OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
When the sun Ceases to shine the Earth
VIII Freeze Up.

Our sun Is now yellow star, SIM
liar TO Capella, and hence 1t will even
tually become bluish-white, like Sirius
and Vega. The secular shrinkage of the
suns radius will cause 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 ex-
pected to go on rising till small
radius Is attained, and finally, when
the dense mass. intensely hot, becomes
incapable of further shrinkage on ac-
count of increase In the molecular
forces, resisting condensation, u cool
ing will gradually ensue, after when
the body will liquefy and then rapidly
decline in splendor. The sun VIII
thenceforth be wrapped In everlasting
darkness. and the chill of death VIII
overtake the planetary system. A con-
dition of intense brilliancy, and hence
the obscurity Of such bodies as the
companions of Sirius, Procyon ana Al
gol. The most obscure satellites are
thus associated with some OF the
brightest and most intensely luminous
stars in our sky, and here the sllailer
of the two masses, as in the case OF
the planets of the solar system, nave
developed most rapidly
In view of this approaching extlnc-
ton of the suns activity. 1t becomes
a matter of interest to inquire how long
its heat will sustain life upon the
earth Though it is difficult To submit
the subject to accurate computation, III
IS easy to see that the exhaustion or
the suns light and heat certainly VIII
not occur for several hundred thousand
and perhaps not for several million
years. Thus the ultimate doom of our
system need occasion no anxiety
among those now living. but the result
is philosophically interesting to those
who look several million years into the
future.
AS experiment has shown that the
suns vertical rays falling continuous
ly upon terrestrial ice would melt
layer three centimeters in thickness
per day, IL follows that "a similar shell
of ice would form over the earth In
case the suns light and heat were cut
off; thus in a month the whole earth
would be forZen like the polar egions,
and only the deeper bodies of water,
containing great amount Of heat,
would remain in Il liquid state. The
oceans themselves would freeze over
with few years at the latest, and the
winds and even the tides would cease
to agltate the terrestrial globe, which
would henceforth sp.n in its orbit as
a rigid, lifeless mass.-Altantic Mon

If the establishment Of State EN-

Germany the problem which con
fronts housewives whose domestic af-

cally solved. In Germany n domestic

gifts of clothing and other incidentals
are also included. Every applicant for
a position is required to present n
book containing written recommen-
dation made by each previous employ

books must be presented at the local

this time he was "A wild youth, whose

the lady's parents invited him to visit
them that they might known some
thing more about him than report told

At the time of his arrival the parents
were ready to greet their guest with

stood by with downcast eyes. Bis
marck rode up and, hastily alighting,
threw his arms around his sweetheart's
neck and kissed her before any one
had time TO protest. The result was
