In it he says that wounds caused by

sHRINKAGE OF THE SUN.
An English Scientist Estimates That
1t Amounts to SIX Inches
Day.

The usual Christmas course of leo
lures was begun at the Royal instiiu-
ton by Sir Robert Ball. The sun, he
pointed out, was the source of all tbs
heat received by this earth, says the
London Times. Now, it was q well
known fact that most things in cooling
became smaller; poker. for example.
was shorter when it was cold than
when it was red hot. The sun, too,
must obey this fundamental Jaw, and
must therefore be getting smaller. II
we could measure it's diameter On two
successive days we should find it had
decreased by nine inches-that was to
say, it was shrinking al the rate OF.
roughly, five feet week, CT mile in
every 90 years. In view of this shrink
age, some Of the younger members Of
his audience might fee. anxious lest the
sun should not last their time. Such
anxiety. however, was groundlcss; he
was s60,o0o1mi.es in diameter, so 1t
would take 10000 years for HIM to be
reduced by 2e0o miles to s5s.oo0, aud
the lecturer was sure that II there
were two suns in the sky, one 100000
miles in diameter and the other s5s,oo0.
10 one would be able to tel by licking
ut them which Of the two was & he small
err, But as the sun was shrinking nine
inches every day, and had heen doing
so for ages, it followed that IN The past
he was very much greater than he was
now. But he always lad the same
amount of material in him and weighed
no heavier than at presents; hence the
inference was that he was once huge
mass of rarefied gas-a great, glowing
nebula.

Bulletin" Correspondent.

OuiIStitl correspondents.
ToNAPAH, April 3, 1901.
For the first time in the history of
the camp we know where we are at
Heretofore we had as much faith as
the gold bugs have when they think
ID greenbac or national bank note is
money. Now we know what the
mines produce and are sure OF our
footing Returns have come in and
are so satisfactory that work will 60
on with renewed energy and the
croakers will probably shut up The
old cry that, They don't go down ;
is answered by saying, "They can't
20 up" Rich mines do not drop from
the clouds, and we are not bothering
ourselves as to how many feet or
inches they go down into the earth as
long rs they keep on paying divi-
dends.
Last November saw the beginnin g
of real mining here, and the men
had to work under the most difficult
circumstances, few houos at time,
making mining most costly.
Here are the returns: Carr & Lei
dy, lessees, shipped 29,264 pounds OF
ore. Assay value, 1858 ounces
silver and $50 ounces gold Deduct
ing weight of moisture and sacks.
the cash value of returns was So, 800.
The actual weight was 29,264, and
they were charged with 10000 lbs.
Reduction charges were $12 and
freight from Tonapah to railroad is
$40 per ton. To this must be added
railroad charges and still the ore
paid hand ONE dividend. They
have another lot on the road to the
smelter and as much more on the
dump to be sent out as soon as teams
come back
Dan Fitzpatrick made shipment
at the same time and his ore averaged
$205 per ton, making him one of the
bonanza kings OF the camp.
These returns have put new life in
the men who are working here and
shows that their judgment was good.
Returns will come in now by every
stage and the future is most prom
ising.
The townsite has been laid out with
boulevard 100 feet wide and ave-
nues leading off in various directions.
The sagebrush on the boulevard is
getting so scarce that the fellows
who batch have to 20 two blocks
from the city WALL to get enough fuel
to boil their coffee.
Tents are going up at rapid rate
and this place will soon look like the
White City in Chicago during the
fair. The big teams. crawl up the
steep hill for ore and go out loaded
every trip. The great drawback is
want of sacks. There ought to be
more men working in San Quentin,
where the sacks are made. 1t would
purify the atmosphere of California
aud clear our dumps at the same
time.
The cold wave continues, the wind
sweeps over the veldt and roars over
the kopjes. The tenderfeet complain
of the climate, but the natives go
right along as happy as though the
climate was semitropical.
There is a little faxen haired girl
going all over the town enjoying the
freedom of the city, and the black
and white pup Tonapah trots in and
out of every open door. The man
who would hurt either Of them would
find the temperature rather high in a
few minutes.

lished, so we can eat regularly. Men

yesterday, land l have reached some
rather interesting conclusions. 1 want
ed to find out how much time man con-
sumed in keeping tab on time, and l
found that, If the whole world is con-
sidered in the computation, years
would be crowded into a second of
time
ITO illustrate what 1 mean, take
city where 100000 watches are wound
up every day. Now, 1t takes probably
an average of 10 seconds to wind a
watch. 1t would take, then, 100000
seconds to wind 100000 watches. This
would mean $4,000 minutes or $50
hours and 10 minutes, or % days and
16 hours. l suppose there are in the
city of New Orleans 100000 watches
and clocks to be wound IN every day,
so that nearly a month is mt in the
city every day in winding watches and
clocks

30 years as the average life, a man
