In writing Julian the Apostate," and
running the gauntlet Of a thousand diff

deserves a prominent place in current

fact that his theme, though based on

an entirely new field. while there is an
additional charm in the information he
disseminates and the familiarity he
shows with his subject.
In some respects this book is strongly

vuroIny Emotion.

We have all seer the nan with 50
diplomatic a countenance that an earth
quake would hardly produce any change
in his imperturbable face. We are apt
to infer that these sphinxlike persons
never feel emotion, whereas they do not
betray their feelings like the generality
of people.
Columns have been written about the
impassiveness Of Disraeli's expression.
A German philosopher once went to
Berlin for the sole purpose of studying
his character and discovered what every
one had searched for in vain. "Like all
men, wrote the keen observer, che has
one sign of emotion which never fails
to show itself, the movement of the leg
that is crossed and the foot"
But if there was ever a mar of "iron
self CONTROL that man was Lockhart,
the famous %biographer. He formed the
idea in youth that it was unmanly to
make any violent display of joy or grief,
and he succeeded so we'll in REFRESHING
his feelings that when he grew up he
could not show them. When his brother
and sister died within a few days Of
each other, Lookhart did not cry or 9TH
erwise relieve his deep and terrible feel
ings, and the consequence was that he
became SO i'll that his life was in jeopar-

The Path of the Earth.

The common idea as to the path Of
the earth being fixed in space" is
taken exception to by astronomers, on
the ground that there are few, if any,
things in the domain OF astronomy that
can really be called fixed in space-the
fact being that unceasing changes are
going on, though these changes are gen
orally 60 slow as to escape the notice Of
a superficial observer, but are fortunate
ly periodic, SO that they fall within the
possibility of computation.
Thus, the earth's path is not fixed,
since the ecliptic changes it's position
among the stars, in consequence Of
which the ~obliquity of the ecliptic un-
dergoes a very slow change, SO that
while at present it is a few seconds
more than 80 degrees ~ minutes, in
about Is, 900 years, astronomers calcu-
late it will be reduced to % degrees 10
minutes, after which it will begin to
increase again, a change 10 slow and
within such narrow limits that it can
produce no sensible alterations in the
seasons
The fact remains a positive one, that,
even if the earth in its orbital and con.
~sequently the sun in its apparent mo.
ton in the ecliptic were circular, neither
the motion in declination nor in right
ascension could be uniform.

Coal Burned by Steamships.

The amount Of coal consumed by a
vessel during a voyage depends very
largely upon the speed, for the con-
sumption Of coal increases almost in a
geometrical ratio to the speed. There
are many ships which burn from 100 to
300 tons of coal per day, the lowest con-
sumption being when the vessel is going
at a moderate rate. Our men -of-war do
not consume SO much in proportion as
swift passenger steamers which ply be.
tween Europe and America, for unless
in an emergency they are not driven at
the highest attainable speed. The ocean
passenger steamers often burn from
1850 to 3, 500 tons during a passage
lasting six to seven days.
