mystery.
It is said that the object of the &C

have been viola ted. The only form
that can be conjectnred for such an
offense is that possibly some persons
have knowledge of the selling OF
liquor given away by the candidates.
The most plausible theory is. how
ever. that these people have been
summoned TO prove, if possible,
what candidates furnished the booze.
If any candidate is proven guilty Of
having furnished drinilables TO these
people for the purpose of securing
their votes such candidates are dis
qualified from holding Office under

WHAT IS THE
SUN MADE OF

Prof. Young in Harper's Weekly.
1t is generally agreed that the main
body of the sun-the nucleus within
the hotosphere-must be purely
gaseous. This seems to be an I'M
avoidable conclusion from the suns
low mean density and its tremendous
Internal temperature. which. must al
most certainly be far higher than
that of the outer surface; so high
that even the enormous force of so,
lar gravity is able to compress the
vapors to a density only one and
four-tenths that of water. although
among constituent elements are
many metals (iron being the most
conspicuous) which in the solid Or
liquid state are from three to eight
times as dense. The reader must not
ina gine, however, that this gaseous
earth Denser than water, and
strongly viscuous from the heat, it
more resembles a globe of tar, ex-
cept near the outside. There the va
pore relieved from pressure are free
to expand. and to cool both by the
expansion and by radiating heat to
outer space. in a region of powerful
currents, ascending, descending. and
cyclonic.
The philosophers or luminous sur
face is generally believed to be what
it looks like-a sheet of clouds en-
veloping the nucleus, and consisting
of minute drops and crystals formed
from those vapors which condense at
the highest tenn pera lures. These
clouds float in an atmosphere com
posed of the permanent gases like
hydrogen and he!i1Im mixed with the
more nervous vapors which con-
dense only at far lower temperatures
than those that form the clouds. AS
to the substances which compose the
cloud particles opinions are unset
tied.
