T II E S STALLION
SCOTLAND. ="

How much the name has to do with
it we cannot say, but certainly, go where
you will, no stallion can be found with
the magnificent contour of form, free
and easy action when called upon, or
fine trotting gait, if urged, equal to the
stallion of above name, bred and owned
by MIR. Battell of Middlebury
Mr.. Battell keeps here four stations,
all Of them valuable and all young; but
none of them equal to the one first
mentioned, which, so far as we know,
every one who has seen, without hest
tation declares to be the handsomest
horse in the World No exceptions
are admitted
But, perhaps, better than this is the
fact that his first colts, only two years
of age, and of which there are but
three, excel equally in their ability to
trot.
Scotland has full brother of about
the same size that perhaps may equal
Scotland's gait, but cannot surpass that
of his colts.

OBITUARY.
DEATH OF HERBERT A. RuRNHAM.

DEATH OF HERBERT A. BURNHAM.
The many friends of Herbert A.
Burnham were shocked to hear of his
sudden death, which occurred at his
home in Sutton on Thursday morning,
August 9th. The cause of death was
infantile paralysis, and his illness was
of very short duration. The burial
was at Sutton at 1890 p. M, the day
of his death. There was no funeral,
but services were conducted at the
grave, which were attended by many
friends. There was a profusion of
flowers. A memorial service will be
held at the church at Sutton at some
future date.
Herbert Alfred Burnham was born
April 6, 1884, in Sutton, the only son
of the late Alfred and Adde Ball Burn
ham. He is survived by his mother
and one sister, Mrs. D. E. Danforth
of Wulpon Bay, B. c., who have the
sincere sympathy of all 10 their sad
bereavement.
Mr.. Burnham gained his early educa-
ton in the public schools Of the native
town, and graduated from the johnson
State normal school in the class of 1902
After teaching few years, he pre-
pared for college at Lyndon Institute,
and entered Middebury College, where
he graduated in 1911. For the past
three years he had held the position of
teacher of science at the johnson State
normal school.
In the departure of Mr. Burnham his
family and friends have met with an
unspeakable loss. He had a rare and
winning personality, and possessed the
ability to easily make friends, of whom
he leaves a host to mourn his early
death. He was natural teacher and
most efficient. Mr. Burnham was an
elocutionist of marked ability and
planned soon to adopt that subject for
his life work in teaching. The deceased
was a member of the Delta Epsilon
fraternity.

ENERGY OF THE SUN.
Intensity of the Light and Heat II
Sheds Upon Our Universe.

By a series of curious experiments
OF the intensity of light and heat from
the sun as compared with earthly in
struments
When the sun is at the zenith. or di-
rectly overhead. its light is equal to
seventy-five electric lights placed only
three feet from the observer. Yet an
electric light is too dazzling for any
one to gaze steadily at it. And as COM
pared with Sirius, which is the bright
est in the heavens, the light of the sun
is 20,OO0,OO0 times more brilliant
The intensity of solar heat on our
globe varies greatly, in way that sun
light does not, the former being affect
ed by locations. attitudes. changes Of
the atmosphere and many causes
1t has been estimated, however. that
the total quantity of heat which the
earth receives from the sun each year is
enough TO melt layer of ice covering
the entire globe and having a thick
ness of hundred feet
But this is only very small portion
of the whole amount of heat given out
by the sun The total solar heat is
enough to melt every day a layer Of
Ice ten and one-half miles thick, about
the entire sun. or to take Professor
Tyndal's comparison. the suns heat
emitted in one hour is equal TO that
produced by buruin. seam Of coal
sixteen and une-half miles thick.-Phil-
