The Memory of n NJuIe

II was at Tampa" says Mai Ira c.
Brown, in the Buffalo Horse World. when
negro teamster was instantly killed by
an army mule, and it furnished a good
Illustration of the wonderful memory that
a mule has. The negro teamster used to
pound that mule numerically. Instead of
using strategy and coaxing his mule into
submission, he used TO beat it hard enough
to kill a horse Well, for two months the
teamster didn't drive that mule. But the
mule never forgot him. He never made
any attempt TO injure his new driver who
knew enough to treat him decentiy. But
one day the old teamster came back. TIE
mule remembered him. He waited with
as much docility and patience as an OK IN
til he was harnessed, and then, when the
old steamster was off his guard, he let f1y
with both heels, caught that negro in the
pit of the stomach and stretched him out
dead as a hammer. The other teamster
was standing right there by him, but that
mule didn't make any attempt to kick
him. He had just been laying for the fell
low who walloped him two months before.
and when he had finished him ne was sat-
isfied."

Can Energy Be Completely Dissipat-
ed in the Universe.
W. H. S. Monck, in knowledge.


According to the ordinary view the sun
is constantly radiating heat in all direc-
tons, and, I think, it is generally sup
posed that only a small portion Of this
heat encounters material bodies at any
distance, however great. If SO, the ques-
ton arises, What becomes of the residue?
Physical research leads US to believe that
heat cannot be destroyed but only trans
formed; yet many persons seem to think
that this heat vanishes like a ghost with
out transforma ton and without producing
any effect. This may be so. but il is 50
much opposed to physical analogies that
We should be slow to accept it unless Oh
the basis of definite observations, which,
L think, it will be admitted are not az
present forthcoming.
Nor can we conhne the question to the
sun. The loss of radiant heat must ION the
theory which l am now considering eX-
lend 10 all the stars. A larger portion of
the heat of some of them is no doubt in
tercepted by other bodies, but some of it
must escape-vanish. The whole universe
is losing heat; or at least it is losing mo-
ton, for the supply of heat may be tenn
porarily kept up by the conversion of mo-
ton into heat (as for example by a bonn
bardment Of meteorites). But that a good
part of the radiant heat vanishes, thus
lessening the total amount of force-of
heat and its equivalents-in the universe,
seems to be a common opinion This the
ory, however (for of course everything on
the subject is theory, will strike many
OF your readers as unsatisfactory for
physical, not metaphysical or theological.
reasons. But if this heat be lost, what
becomes of it,
If the suns rays aud those Of the stars
always met with some material to1y how
ever great its dis ance might he he poo
lem would be solved; there would &c no
loss of heat to the universe. The san may
a present be radia.ing mora than il re
ceives, and, consequently, cooling; but IN
travelling through space ii may reach OH
er regions in which these conditions will
be reversed. But it seams p ain that if his
be the case, the greater part of the lodes
which encounter the solar heat are dark
bodies, or else that there is an absorption
of light in passing through the ether. Such
an absorption of light and heat by the eth
er-as maintained, / believe, by the great
observer Struve-woIld equally solve the
problem; for the light and heat thus abb
sorbed could not be lost, and would prob
ably be given back by the ether to ma
terial bodies in some manner not yet trec-
ed. Otherwise, it would change the proper
ties of the ether.
A third possib alternative Is that radia-
ton, like gravitation only acts between
material bodies, and that though, like
gravitation, it acts on a material body in
any Girecticn and follows it in all It's move
ments, there is no expenditure of 10! &C IN
the direct ons in which no material Eody is
encountered. On this theory also mere
would be no loss of heat There would only
be an interchange of 'he same kind as il
every heat ray ultima -ely encountered
material body.
