The SUMS Heat.

Sir Robert Ball has calculated the
heat which the sun has yielded in con
tracing 10 its present form. II
amounts to as much as 3,400 globes
of coal, each as heavy as the sur
would give out. Now. as the sun Is
about $4,000 miles in diameter. 3,400
such globes would stretch from where
the sun now is 3,092 900 900 of miles
into space, which would be far out
side the orbit of Saturn. But that is
not all, for there is still enough heat
in the sun to warm the earth for
millions of years. Thus big as the
sun is, it is an economical warming
apparatus. It only needs to shrink l6
inches per day to give out all the
heat we need, not to mention thous-
ands of times as much scattered in
space.

And then, the quarter.boat! II
would defy human skill to build fires
and burn the falls and gripes, the
four distinct fastenings of the boat
so simultaneously that the boat should
strike the water on an even keel
And then to time the fall of the boat
and sweep her into position under the
ships stern precisely as needed by
the man leaping from the flames, who
alone of the ships crew was in pr
sition to secure the boat!
We can family imagine the thrill in
the heart of the sailor boy, who as
he stepped into a dry suit on board the
Morgan. drew from the pocket of his
trousers a coin bearing the inscription,
In God We trust.-Sea Breeze.

Gold From Mine Waters.

The London Engineer notes that a
deposit of gold on a piece of wrought
iron, originally used in a mine track,
and which had lain in the gutter
carrying off the mine water, has been
found at the Mount Lyell Mine, Tas-
mania. 1t was firmly attached to the
iron, and had probably been deposited
by the electric action of the iron.
