WHERE DOES THE SUMS HEAT COZ
Can Energy BE Completely Dissipated In
This Universe?

According to the ordinary view the
sun IS constantly radiating heat in all
directions, and, I think, it is gener-
ally supposed that only small por-
ton Of this heat encounters material
bodies at any distance, however great.
If so, the question arises, What be-
comes of the residue? Physical re-
search 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 without transformation and
without producing any effect. This
may be so, but it is so much opposed
to physical analogies that we should
be slow TO accept it unless on the ba-
sis Of definite observations which, I
think, it will be admitted are not at
present forthcoming.
Nor can We confine the question to
tie sun. The loss of radiant heat

cOnSidering) extend to all the stars.
a larger portion Of the heat of some
Of them is no doubt intercepted by
other bodies, but some Of it must es-
cape-vanish. The whole universe Is
losing heat: or at least it is losing
motion, for the supply Of heat may be
temporarily kept up by the conversion
of motion into heat (as, for example,
by bombardment OF meteorites).
But that a good part of the radiant
aeat vanishes, thus lessening the total
amount of force-of heat and its equiv.
alents-in the universe, seems to be
common opinion. This theory, how
ever for Of course everything on the
subject is theory, will strike many of
Tour readers as unsatisfactory for
physical, not metaphysical or theolog-
cal reasons. But if this heat be not
Ost, what becomes Of it?
If the suns rays and those of the
stars always met with some material
body, however great its distance
night be. the problem would be
olved; there would be no loss of heat
o the universe. The sun may at pres
mt be radiating more than it receives,
md, consequently, cooling; but in
travelling through space it may reach
other regions in which these condi-
ions will be reversed. But it seems
plain that if this be the case, the
greater part Of the bodies which en-.
counter the solar heat are dark bodies,
Dr. else that there is an absorption Of
light in passing through the ether.
Such an absorption Of light and heat
by the ether-as maintained, believe.
by the great observer Struye-would
equally solve the problem; for the
light and heat thus absorbed could
lot be lost, and -IHazalA-azahah1p=h

"a Legend Of Mount Shasta.

A half dozen hardy gold-seekers
clustered around the blazing fire and
eagerly examined the golden nugget
that the seventh man had produced.
Deep into the wilderness the pros
pecting party had penetrated, eagerly
searching for traces Of the precious
metal, and treading ground that never
before had felt the pressure of a
white mans foot.
Their search had been q fruitless
one, until young Martin Brand that
night, by the campfire, tossed so care
iessly the golden nugget into their
midst
With widening eyes the little group
looked upon the precious find. 1t was
the solid stuff-pure, without alloy.
You're lucky, Mart" said the lead
er of the party, dark, stern-featured
man, who answered to the name Of
Buckskin Bill. Maybe you have dis

"I'lltell you better tomorrow night"
the young man answered. Il try my
lead again as soon as the morning
light comes"

asked.
mo, mate, but one man can work
the mine I've struck. Trust me, I'll
do the square thing by you ALL"
A few more words and the prospect
ors retired for the night. Hardly a
man Of the party but let envy rankle
in his heart at the success Of the
youngest and "greenest' man in their
estimation, in the gang.
With the morning light the young
miner departed, gayly assuring his
comrades that he would return at
nightfall with gold enough to make
them all rich.
AS Mart struck off into the wilder
ness with his light, careless step there
were gloomy looks upon the faces of
his comrades. One and all envied
him.
Suppose one Of us follow him?"
suggested Buckskin Bill, glancing
around into the faces of his compan-
ions

Best Treatment For 1t.

BatherS have long looked upon
death by drowning as their chief dam
ger. but there is another peril less

! frightful the peril of q death beside

of tetanuS or iockjaw.
The bacillus tetani diStils poison
so terrible that the venom Of a rattle
snake is nectar compared to it. One
grain will kill 300 men.
These death-dealiug creatures love

rubbish, and in any case Uttered with
broken shells and with bits Of wreck
age from which broken nails protrude.
IT is strange that the most deadly
work Of the germ is done IN late spring
aud early autumn. Fifty per cent. Of
the deaths from tetanuS are due to
wounds on feet or hands.
After the bacillus has entered the
wound from five to fifteen days may
elapse. The bacilli do not themselves
pass into the system. They remain
in the wound but generate q poison
which does their work.
In most cases there are preliminary
symptoms similar to those of an ap-
preaching cold-a dull ache, located
before the ear, followed by stiffness
in the muscles of the lower jaw. There
is growing difficulty in opening the
mouth, AID attempts to swallow eX-
aggerate the symptom. The jaws then
become locked and the disease passes
downward to the rest Of the body.
In the open air the bacillus remains
inactive. 1t is only when it enters
more deeply and gets away from the
air that it becomes dangerous. 1t
may be rendered harmless by cleans
ing the wound with a mixture Of one
part carbolic acid in twenty of water.
Afterward the wound should be filed.

Forth into the open space came the
miners III war-like array.
Mart started in surprise while the
Indian girl started in alarm.
The miners surrounded the two, and
Buckskin Bill sterniy questioned his
comrade.

finger in this pie" he said. "Are you
going to act square by us or not?'
why should you doubt me:' Mart
exclaimed, Indignantly.
Never mind why; we don' Bill re-

We know where you got that nugget
that you showed US. and know, too,
that there is more where that came
from. SO jest give up your arms and
tell the girl to show us where the
secret mine is; you shall have fair
share"
why should 1 give up my arms?"
demanded Mart, Indignantly.
Because we don't trust YOU re-
piled Bill, bluntly. Seize him, boys"
At the word the miners sprang upon
Mart Not taken entirely unawares,
drew his revolver, but ere he could
raise the hammer, eager hands
clutched him and bore him to the
earth; desperately he struggled, thrice
he rose to his knee, throwing off his
assailants like the wild boar casts off
the hunting dogs. but again and again
the miners gripped him. Wounds
were given and received as Mart re-
leased his bowie:knife from its sheath,
and then angry passions COULD be re-
strained no longer, and Mart lay a
bleeding, dying man upon the ground.
Restrained by. two Of the miners,
the girl had looked upon the struggle
with flashing eyes, but at the death
of her lover all the iron calmpess Of
her race came back to her and she
stood moJionleSs as statute.
Even the heavens seemed to lower
upon the fearful scene and the pat
tering rain commenced to fall.
Now tell the girl what we want"
Buckskin Bill cried, fiercely, to the
trapper
"The secret mine where the yellow
metal lies hid.' the trapper exclaimed
to the girl, speaking in Indian tongue.
Scornfully the daughter of the Red
MIClouds shook her head.
Then the trapper unsheathed his
bowie knife and placed the point near
to the heart of the girl.
Speak or lead us to the spot, If
you would not die" the trapper cried
angrily.
The girl looked at him, undaunted
By the threat; then in an instant her
