STRIKE IS DENIED. , The report that four laborers on the Murray Theatre. Tenth and Main street, has struck because an under boss w in charge, wa denied today by contractor Fobs and O. G. Murray.
In for - the regular foreman t. during his absence stated that he laid some of the men off because of their coadi-
ney of the earth itself. Many, again, go to seek a climate while the hurrying earth is bringing to them one climate after another In endless succession. Those who bare not hitherto taken much notice of the earth's progresswho have not, so to speak, looked oat of their carriage window as they are whirled along might find a new Interest in domg so Look, for example, at the apparent size of the sun. Casual observation shows that It appears larger In the winter heavens. And exact measurements tell us that it Is largest on Jan. l and smallest on July 2. The size of the sun thus marks the earth's nearest approach and greatest distance from the sun. Accurate astronomical measurement of the
sun's diameter might even determine the day of the year, for the daily vari

gular measurement And astronomers
profess to measure the second decimal

There are three ways in which we
are Journeying with the earth. There
is. first, the dally revolution, which car
ries us through a complete circle in twenty-four hours at a rate varying from rather more than a thousand miles an hour at the equator to noth
ing at the poles, where no one, by the
way. has ever been. Then we are traveling around the sun once a year at the rate of eighteen miles a second.
Thirdly, we are journeying through stellar space,. for one of the most re
markable facts which modern astron
omy has brought to light Is that our
soiar system, tne sun with all Its planets, is on a Journey toward the constellation Lyra at the rate of ten miles
a second. 9 As we sit In a train and are whirled along.lt sometimes appears as If the scenery were flying past us rather than we past It. the daily revolution of the earth a thousand miles an hour at the equator makes the sun rise and set, and our yearly journey makes the sun apparently travel through the constellations of the zodiac. If we move round any stationary object on the earth we see it with a constantly changing background now a windmill, now a cottage, now a wood, now a church, etc.; So as we travel round the sun we see It with an ever changing background of stars now those of Aries, now of Taurus, now of Gemini, and so on. The posi
tion of the snn among the stars marks the stages oi the earth's annual, Journey. And as the earth arrives at different points of Its orbit the times of the risings of certain stars vary. These indications of - the - earth's progress have been taken as marks of the seasons. Thus when Slrlus rose with the snn it was known that the dog days had begun. Early astronomers watched carefully for the rising of the dog star. n The Egyptian astronomers looked for the helical rising of Sothis to proclaim the new year. It la the earth's yearly journey ronnd
the sun which enables us to determine the distances of the stars. The method Is precisely that adopted by surveyors for determining the position of objects
on earth. The direction of the object
whose distance Is to be found Is ob
served from two points a known distance apart. The rest is mere calcula
tion. In the case of the stars the directions are observed from two extreme
points in the earth's orbit instead of
from the two ends of a base line. The
process Is called trlangulatlon when applied to earth measurements, and
everybody understands what It means.
When applied to the stars It Is called parallax and remains a mystery to most people. Such Is the obscuring
power of a word.
The "little more", and the "Tittle less"
of Browning an forcibly Illustrated In
the direction of the earth's Journev
round the sun. An elliptic course dif
fering very little from a circle, com
bined with a tilt of the axis, gives us
the seasons. But if this difference and
til did not exist there would be no
seasons and one climate would rule
the year. If, again, the course were
more elliptic, then for the hemisphere
whose winter occurred at the earth's
greatest distance from the sun there
might be a glacial period.
"The straight line." says Miss Helen
Keller, "symbolizes duty. It Is a dull thought drawn out endlessly." And
this seems to be a reflection on what we had thought was the earth's path of duty round the sun. for this path Is the curve known as the ellipse. Moreover, the thought ' makes -the sun a tempter of the : earth from the strict path of duty, for the arth. we learn from our . Newton. . if left to .Itself
would wander on forever . through space In a straight line. It Is the sun which draws it from this dull course into the pleasant curve of subjection. Tet the sun's victory Is only partial, the earth's actual path being a combination of its own straight line of inclination and obedience to the pull of the sun. And so instead of the "dull thought drawn out endlessly" we have the beautiful thought of the changing seasons, the flowers and fruits of the earth, with its ever varying weather.

MOUNTAIN OF BORAX.
A Deposit of Great Value In Heart of
Death Valley. , With the exception of tne Grand
canyon there is probably bo more fa
mous locality rin the west than Death
valley, known.-as the "vale below the
sea," and. although there are a num
ber of, Mount Btancos In the Great American desert: the Mount Blanco of
Death - valley is the greatest of Its
name. It rises like n enormous white breast against the terra cotta ridge of Funeral range, close to Furnace Creek canyon, a great rent that cleaves the east rampart of Death valley. Around it is rolling waste of bald yellow hills, none of which Is a mere knoll, and it towers a good 000 feet above them. The lowland of Death valley, sinking for several miles westward, is probably 2,500 feet lower. No one ledge or series of ledges anywhere in the world contains the immense amount of borate quartz shown in the surface of this mountain of colemanite. . It is a body of ore measuring 1.000 feet in width and 5,000 feet In length, pitching Into the mountain range at a thirty-three degree angle. It is a borax quarry whose limitations cannot be even roughly conjectured, but it must exceed by thousands of tons any known borate deposit. Detroit News.

How the Burmese Made Fire. One day a Burmese messenger brought me a note. While he was waiting for the reply I observed an object something like a boy's popgun suspended around his waist. On asking what it was be showed me that it was an Implement for producing .fire. It was a rude example of a scientific instrument employed by lecturers at home to illustrate the production of heat by, suddenly compressed air, A piston 'fitted into the tube. The former was hollowed-at the' lower end and smeared with wax to receive a piece of cotton or tinder, which when pressed into it adhered. The tube was closed at one end. Placing the piston at the top of the robe, with a smart
blow be struck it down and lmme
diately withdrew it with the tinder on fire, the sudden compression of the air
having ignited it. I was so much
struck with the scientific ingenuity of
this rude isagtlement that 1 procured it from the Bur man. and sent.it to the Asiatic society of Bengal, with a short description of Its uses. "Recollections of My Life," by Surgeon General Sir
