TEKRTii HAtTTB aATtTBDAY EVENING MAlIr

LOCK YEWS SOLAR DIAGNOSIS. tmfM Bepoblloan. Tberecent eellpeeof tbesunia causing that luminary to ba, muck talked about and the obfervations,, calculations and speculations of tbe aaironomers ate remarkably interesting reading. The temporary obeenraoon of the sun by tbe moon's dark body Is simple as the passing of a cloud over a clear eky, bnt tbe comparative rarity of the phenomenon Is like tbe shadow of an awful change, and It is not dtrauge that It should awaken superstitious fears for tbe time being. Neither is it to be wondered at that these fears should take temporary- possession of soma men of brsins and scientific endowment*. Plot iickyer, an astronomer, sppears recently to have developed into one of theee latter cases and, having beeome an alarmist, haa no lack of supnorteis and diadples. According to Lo&cyerVtheory o!changes in the central orbofour system tbe sun seems to be brooding over a violent destruction of the earth at no very distant period. Tbe sun spots are gradually dissppearlng the entire absence of burning hydrogen In the slight oorona of the late eclipee, Which condition tbe spectroeoope revealed, betokens, aooording to Lockyer, that the shield of hydrogen, which protected the earth from the intenser neat which it made, hss been in great part removed. The deducible theory is that the sun's rays will wax hotter and hotter year by year, until the final catastrophe of the earth's combustion comes, which could not be many agea bence. The preeent generation of men are told not to be needlessly alarmed at the increasingly hot temperature through which their lives will swelter, but the next

nerations are Drophetically warned to out for the weather. The followers of Lockyer. point to oertain historical facta of climatic changes. The mild temperature of the past winter and the exceptional beat of tne preeent summer being nearest in experience are cited. Tbe eteady Increase of the heat of this olimate for the last thirty years is asserted. The former long seaaona of snow aud Ice have melfed away no sleighing to speak of and but abort perioda of ice-biocked rivers snd lakes where navigation was formerly closed during long winters and tbe whole winter long. Icebergs are floating down from the North and met in tne ship ways of tbe Atlsntic at unseasonable times, in the early spring, where they formerly poetponed their appearance until July and August, thus indicating that the warm season in the Arctic regions commences earlier than formerly. It is asserted that in the early historical periods the olimate of Europe was vastly colder than it Is at present, Italy being as cold In the days of tbe Roman republic as Northern Germany is now. Thus tbe alarmists say the world is getting hotter sll round and all over, the change of temperature being due to no local causes whatever, such as the cutting down of forests, but to tbe constant increase of solar beat on tbe earth, in exact proportion as It decreases in tbe sun itself. According to these theorists tbe sun is rapidly lurning itself out and giving the earth the full benefit of its test blazes. In time, if this is what the sun is really doing, the final rr-ult will be a dead and extinguished sun and the solar system gone all to smssb in its own awes. This Ixekyer tells us what he conceives to be the truth about the sun and its attendant planets, wbile all tbe other astronomers seem to gloss tbe mstter over. And Lockyer is not only disbelieved In his diagnosis of the solar system, but Is ridiculed for bis views and ominous prophecies. He seems to be a sort of an astronomical Noah, predicting a coming fiery flood, while the whole scientific world is laughing at his auguries. A believer in Lockyer writing for tbe New York Timee ssys for our consolation: "We of this generation have no immediate cause of alarm, but oar posterity will find tbings excessively warm for them, and it is perhaps our duty to advise them not to come." That is, in case the sun does not turn o^er anew leaf—show more spots on its flsoe and the tresence of ite old or a new shield of -jydrogen around it, which there is no preeent prospect of Its doing. Otherwise let posterity be advised not to come. _.. rain. ~r scribner^i mo^thiyr*"-

The first water—how much it means! Seven-tenths of man himself la water. Seven-tenths of the human race rained down but yesterday! It is much more robahle that Cawar will flow out of a ^ang bole than that any part of his remains will ever stop one. Our life Is indeed a vapor, a breath, a little moisture condenaea upon the pane. We carry ourselves ss in a phial. Cleave the flesh, and how quickly He will spill out! M*n begins as a fish, and he swims in a sea of vital fluids ss long as his life lasts. His first food fs mild so is bis last, and all between. He can taste and assimilate and absorb nothing but liquids. The same is true throughout all organic nature. 'Tis wster power that makea every wheel move. Without this great solvent, there is no life. I admire immensely this line of Walt Whitman: "Thestambering and liquid trees."

Tbe tree and ita fruit are like a sponge which the rains has filled. Through them snd through sll living bodies there goes on the commerce of vital growth, tiny fleets and succession of fleets, laden with material bound for diatant shores, to build up and repair and reetore the waste of the physical frame.

Then the rain means relaxation the tension in Nature and all her creatures Is lessened. The trees drop their leases, or let go tbelr ripened fruit itself wilt fall In a still, damj

or let go tbelr ripened fruit. The tree itself will fail in a still, damp day. wben bat yeataday it withatood a gale of wind. A inofst south wind panaUatea even the mind and makes its grasp lees tenacious. It ought to take less to ltill a man on a rainy day than on a clear. The direct aupport of the sun is withdrawn life founder a cloud a masculine mood gives place to something like a feminine. In this sense rain tt the grief, the weeping of Nature, the reltef of a burdened or agonised heart. Bat team from Nature's eyelids are always remedial and prepare the way for brighter, purer akiCO.

OOOD CO UNTS, T.S Indianapolis JournaL

There Is no country in tbe world Wfcere honest lndnstry la better rewarded, where skilled tabor la better paid, or where tbe opportunitiee of advancement for workingmen are better than In the United Statea. That a considerable number of persona wUUng to work am at preeent unable to get employment la unfortunately true, but the number of theee haa been groaly exaggerated, and the fact remaina that the great mans of the workingmen in this country are employed at good, living wages, and are better paid, oetter fad, and enjoy more of the comforts of life than thoee of any other country in the world. Tbelr condition laIn every respect ao isreuperlor to that of the workingmen of Ruropear ormntriee as to .be beyond comparison and tbe efforts of demagogues and agi tatora to excite among them a spirit of discontent and boetiluy to the government are cruel, wicked and unpatriotic.
