dunn OF some sort of communication,
but they do not stand for ideas or
mental concepts any more than the
various cries OF a child do. They are
the result of simple reactions to out
ward objects or to inward wants, and
do not imply any mental process what

Sun's Heat.

Popularity speaking, the heat of the
sun is such that the total annual out
put of all the earth's coal mines would
serve to keep up the solar radiation
for only one-forty-millionth part of a
second. II the earth was solid mass
of coal and could be supplied to the
solar furnace it would last just 30
hours. The same difficulty attends
the attempt to mentally realize the
amount of the solar heat that is APP
propriated by our planet. Science has
demonstrated that the amount of the
suns heat caught by the earth is only
the 2,25O-millionth part. In othe.'
words, the heat of the sun is sufi-
cient to warm up ,250,O00,0O0 worlds

were more or less mummified bodies,

Campo Santo. They numbered few
over 1000.
Naturally, tremendous sensation
was caused by these discoveries, and
the widest conjectures given voice
to. According, however, to the oldest
inhabitant of Carlentini, the facts are
as follows: When monks inhabited
the monastery, a certain sum was paid
them for the privilege of sepulture in
the church. The church, however, was
small, and when there was no room
for any more corpses, the monks, rath-
er than lose an important source Of
income, continued to receive bodies
for burial, but instead Of depositing
them beneath the floor of the church,
cast them into the rooms behind the
sacristy, or into the pavilions close by,
where they have just been discovered.
