THE LENGTH OF THE DAY.
Scnsibly Constant Through Periods OF
Thousands Of Years.

Thousands OF Years.
Professor r. S. Woodward, the d.
rector Of the Allegheny Observatory
has made q mathematical investigation
of the effects Of the contraction Of the
earth through cooling, on the one hand,
and the increase Of its bulk from the
accumulate Of meteoric dust, on the
other hand. have had or may have here
after in changing the length Of the day
The former of these two causes tends
to accelerate the earth's rotation on Its
axis and thus to shorten the day, while
the latter cause must have contrary
effect. The conclusion at which he ar
rives is that so slowly does the effect
Of cooling accumulate that the day will
not change-or has not changed. as the
case may be-by so much as a half
second in the first ten million years af-
ter the earth began to solidify. Still,
the shortening of the day which must
come with the end Of the process of
cooling is a very sensible fraction of
it's present length. Assuming that the
earth had originally temperature of
5000 degrees centigrade. it follows. ac-
cording to his calculations, that the
day will ultimately be shortened by
about six per cent. of its initial length,
OF by an hour and half yearly. The
length of time required by the earth
TO cool down to the temperature OF sur
rounding space must be measured by
millions of years. Thus, Woodward
shows that it will require about 10000
million years for the earth to accom-
plish ninety-fre per cent. Of its con-
traction, and that after 4 million mill
ion years its contraction will no longer
sensibly affect the length Of the day.
During no interval so short as 20GO
years in the entire history Of this cool
ing process can the length Of the day
have diminished by so much as the
thousandth Of second from the cause
in question.
This slow shortening Of the day is of.
set by the effect Of the accession OF
meteoric dust; yet, so slowly does this
dust accumulate. Notwithstanding the
fact that fully 2O,00O,0OO meteors fall
daily, that it's effect will not become
perceptible until the total effect from
cooling is nearly complete. In round
numbers the latter effect goes Oh two
hundred thousand times as fast rs the
effect from meteoric dust. If, there
fore, the regularity Of the earth rs a
timekeeper during historic times is ia
be called in question other causes must
be looked for than the two which are
here considered.

Treoc,,ra TrSve

In a brick field near Feodosia, on
the coast of the Crinea, a vessel con-
tanning about a thousand ancient
Greek copper coins Of various sizes
has recently been dug upon. On one
side of the coins the letters HAH are
inscribed; on the other side is the
head Of Pan. Pan was the tutelary
god of Panticpaum, the old Milesian
colony upon whose site Kertch now
stands. The coins are in good preser-
walton. They bear, besides the in
scription a culver and an arrow. This
Is unouestionably a portion Of the
treasure brought by the Greeks from
1onia when they founded Theodosia.

USE OF THE RIGHT HAND.
Not Due to Training, Hue Is Natural
Distinction.

Prof. Cunningham pointed out how
it is evident that as far back as we can
trace man he was preferentially right
handed. Thus DR.. R. Lehman
Nitsche had examined the bones of
prehistoric men from southern Ba-
varia and had found that the clavicle
and the long bones of the right upper
limb were distinctly heavier and more
massive than the corresponding bones
Of the opposite side. All the evidence
at our disposal goes 10 show that right
handedness is due to transmitted
functional pre-eminence of the left
brain, and this functional pre-eminence
was not haphazard acquisition which
had been picked up during the lifetime
of the individual, it rested upon some
structural foundation which transmit
ted from parent to offspring. Modern
science, then, if we have correctly in
:erpreted Prof. Cunningham's meaning,
would seem to show that there is a
distinction in nature Of the right hand
It is indubitably the one by which
most delicate manual actions are per-
formed, with one marked exception
namely, the lingering in the play Of
stringed instruments which are played
with bow. If, as Prof. Cunningham,
in referring to the crossing of the
motor impulses, says, 'it thus came
about that the left cerebral hemisphere
controlled and regulated the muscles
of the right side, and it's functional
superiority over the right hemisphere
was indicated by the subservient posi-
ton which the left hand held with
preference to the right, and the man
ner in which all manual acts which
require precision and skill, all the
movements which specially required
the higher guidance of the brain, were
performed by the right hand"-if this
be so, how comes it that the lingering
Of violin, which surely is an act re-
curing the higher guidance Of the
brain, is always, SO far as we know,
performed by the left hand?-London

FIRST BALE OF COTTON.

Last year the first bale of cotton
was received on the first day of July;
this year it was brought in on the
18th day of that month. Nor is this
all. It came this year from a county
on the Mexican border, farther South
than the county that furnished last
years first bale. This first bale thus
makes good the statement that the
crop is three weeks late.
So it is, but if August should prove
to be as favorable to the growth of
the plant as July has been, the late
ness of the start will count for but
little. July and August are still the
cotton-making months, and they can
make amends for May and June,
and thus far they are proceeding to
do it.
The lateness of the growing crop
and the statistical position are bull
arguments, but the July weather has
not been on that side. The critical
month is, however, August, and it
will this year, as in most other years,
determine the size Of the crop.
