Flowers irs Nature's jewels, with whose WTCAth
She decks her summer beauty ; primrose sweet,
With blossoms of pure gold* enchanting owe,
That, like a virgin qneen, salutes the aun,
Dew-diademed ; the perfumed pink, that studs
The earth with clustering raby 1 hyacinth.
The hue of Venus's tresses; myrtle green,
Thst maidens think s ehsim hir constant love.
And give night kisses to it, sad so drctm ;
Fair lily I woman's emblem, and n't twined
Hound l*voro* where its silver is anaeoo,
Rneh is their whiteness • downcast violet.
Turning sway its sweet head from the wind,
As she her delicate and akillfd ear

Cuumso RLANEXTS. —It is quite as
important to have the blankets on our
beaa clean, as the sheets pure and white.
The Boston JOHTKOI I/ uWajisfry give*
the following method of ckuusiug blan
kets : " Put two hTG* teaiqywmfnls of
borax and a pint bowl of soft soap into
a tub of cold water. When dissolved,
put in a pair of blankets, ami let them
remain over night Next day rub and
draiu them out, and rinse thoroughly in
two waters, and hang them out to dry.
Do not wring them."
To OVRX COLDS,— To cure colds ami
slight catarrhal affections, drink fnseiy
of hot composition tea, on retiring,
which should be made as follow* ; Add
one-half tcaspoonful of composition to
one pint of Uuhng water, and cream
and sugar to suit the taste : to be drunk
while hot. If the cold is in the head, s
teaspoonful of pine tar should be poured
npon some hot coals, and the smoke
allowed to remain in Hie sleeping-room,
and inhaled during the night. A repeti
tion of this treatment for one or two
nights is nsnnlly effectual.
BEET TEA. —Cktmtber'r thinks
it is a mistake to suppose that beef tea
is nourishing and strengthening for fee
ble pawn*. It says " Some few practi
titmers and chemists have long been aware
of the fact, and now their view is oon- ]
firmed by Dr. Msrwt. There if no
nourishment in beef ten. Mixed with
•olid fool, it imparts a relish which pro
motes digestion ; and the best sobd
food that can 1* mixed therewith, Is the
beef fro® which it was made.' reduced to
a powder In two, at least, of the Lon
don hospitals, the mixing of powdered
beef with the best tea has long been
practised; and there the patients get
strong on beef-tea diet"
HORSES Rrßiuxo THEIR TAILS nc THE
STABLE.—A correspondent of the Rural
-Yew Tarkrr writes that be has broken
many young horses of this practice, by
washing the dock with warm water and
good yellow ha 1 soap; then thoroughly
dry the part with a clean, coarse clotll,
keeping np the robbing till the dock is
not only dry but warmed by the friction.
Then a liniment of new (warm) milk,
(eight ounces) and spirits of turpentine
(one ounce) is spplied. Mix the lini
ment in a bottle, pour it into the palm
of the hand and rub the dock thoroughly
with it; avoid rubbing the tail on the
under side aa much as possible. Con
tinue the application of the liniment
daily until the horse ceases robbing.
RTE FOR MILCH COWS BEFORE CALV
IXO. —George C. Kirtland. writes the
Rvral Yew Tcrker, recommending (hat
for each cow to calve, the herdsman
should procure a half bushel-of rye; grind
it if convenient, and commence two
weeks before calving, to foed a single
handful of meal, upon wrhich a gallon
or more of boiling water has been pour
ed. Feed when cold, increasing the
amount both of meal and water, so as
that the cow shall have consumed the
half bushel of rye about the time of
calving. If the rye is not ground, boil
it until the grains will mash eosilv be
tween the thumb and finger. Mr. KM
land has practiced the aboTe treatment
for ahont fifteen years, and has had no
ills to cure in his Cows after calving.

And if a man fails on a farm, he ishot'

quires more teleat to be s thriving

one great failure is the disproportion
between a man's farm and his capital.
A farmer's capital is skill, labor, and his '
money. If be has little cash, he must
have no more land than, he can thor
oughly manage by Jiir personal labor. ]
Every acre beyond that is an incum

that keeps so many poor. Small faiunr

Many young chickens that might live if

swallow more water with their gram than I
they need. In case of grown fowls,
giving meal too wet will not, of course,
prove fatal, but they wiD thrive better'

and the ladies, who knew their customer,

A Profitable Day's Work.
An instance of quick work, by which
pretty profitable wages were earned has
; come to our knowledge, which we think
j worthy of public mention, the names of
the patties being withheld by request.
Not long since there was employed in
j one of the large shoe manufactories in
; this city a young lady whose duty it was
to fasten Hie tape and soles of ladies'
l>oots together, preparatory to lasting.
; Tbi is done after the tap and soles are
dinkedT out, by first passing and then se
curing them by two nails. One day a
gentleman was in the mannfactory where
she was employed, and observing her
j celerity of movement, raised a question
as to how many she could prepare in one
j day. One of those having the manage -
meat of affairs expressed the opinion
i that she could do twenty cases in ten
> hours. The gentleman first mentioned
COUld not credit this, and offered to
stake one thousand dollars against five
, bundmd that the feat could not be ae-
. complished. The wager was accepted,
the voting lady acquainted with the facts
l and naked if sLe could do it. She replied
„that she was willing to try, provided she
j should have a shore of the money should
she wis. This was agreed to and the
! task was commenced. At twelve o'clock
: on the next day she had eleven of the
twenty cases finished and packed ready
> for the laster, and at ten minntes inside
the ten hour* the task was completed.
The in redulous gentleman paid the wa
, per of one thousand dollars, and the
winner handed the young lady five bun
! dred of it. This, together with the sum
I < araed by doing the work, tnadc pretty
fair wages for one day, and any one can
' see by a little calculation that she had
to keep pretty busy. There were in
i each ease sixty pairs, four pieces to a
j pen*, making two hundred and fortv
I pieces of leather to handle, and as many
hails to lie driven. In the twenty cases
there would lie forty-eight hundred
pieces to take care of in ten honrs, which
was done : thus averaging four hundred
and eightv per hour, or eight in one
minute. This is an actual fact, and the
smart girl is st present doing a snug
little business of her own in the central
jnortion of our city. If this can be
' beaten bring along the one who can do
j it.— Ly*n Reporter.

j O God ! what a scene met my gaze on
! every side, say* a correspondent. Here
( | came the crisia of the storm ; here the
fire-elements, controlled by the tornado
and a whirlwind, made war on human
hopes, hearts, and life. The half has
not been told, nor never can be.
The phenomena and results of this
storm were mysteriously strange. In
some places the forest trees lay in every
imaginable position, while in others"
they were carried into winrows. They
were mere sticks in the hands of a
great power, slashing and whipping the
earth, and then made fuel for tbe work
of driith. The fields, woods, barns,
bouses, and even the "air," was on fire,
while large balls of fire were revolving
and bursting in every direction, ignit
ing everything they came in eontact with;
and the whole of this devouring element
was driven beformk tornado at the rate
[of a mile a minn% There can be no
doubt that the air, strongly charged
with electricity, helped on the work of
destruction and death. Ex-Mayor Ahner
Kirbv of Milwaukee, a well-known gentle
man/>f truth and veracity, says he saw
large bodies of balls of ftro in the air,
and when thay came in contact with any
thing, they would bound thirty or forty
rods away. Others testify that they saw
large clouds of fire burst into fragments,
ana in some instances great tongues of
tire like lightning would issue from
the dark clouds, and light npon the
buildings. Pennies were melted in the
pockets of persons who were but little
burned. A small bell npou an engine,
and a new stove, both standing from
twenty to forty feet from any building,
*/wcuy ev *v* w j uuiu OUJ UUtlUtU^,
were melted.
A married gentleman of Elizabeth N.
J., lost a valuable diamond pin, whicc
he advertised in the Herald, leaving 815

She took the pin to the Herald office
and got the money.
A Fatal Hunt.
Another instance of the pitcher going
once too often to the well haa occurred in
ludia. Capt, Ihng. an infantry officer,
had liecome renowned as a tiger-hunter,
, and the fame of his exploits had even
reached Europe. He wna *up|xwd to le
I invincible, had preformed almost fahn
uhms feats, and wan held by the natives
t to bear a charmed life. The poor gentle
man wis. notwithstanding, killed by a
tiger early in September. He went out
1 one day and had a brilliant stteoeas, slay
' ing a tine tiger single-handed Four or
live days after, news eniue that another
' tiger waa lurking in the same place,
about six mites front the cantonment.
The new arrival tit oner l<egun to dis

his sport to an rltil. I 'uaccompanied

with partitions, ceiling*, and floors of
evenly-planed cedar plank. The dwel

these the Sweden found rather chilly

of cold weather, and improved them by

Fatal Conflict ia Nebraska.
The Sioux Citv (Iowa) Journal pub- '
lishew tlie following : The Indians who
inhabit the region of countrv lying ue*s
the headquarters of the KlkWrn Hirer, 1
in Holt County, Nebraska, are again
displaying their hostility towards the
white hunters and trappers who visit
that section each Fall and Winter. A
band of abont twenty Indians, v.ippow.l
to be Kioux, visited a evmp of hunters,
four in number, and ordered them to
leave the country. The Indiana claimed
that the game and fur in that region be
longed to them, and that the whites whs
invaded their hunting gounds were trra
passers, and wonld l>e ejected by force
if they did not leave peaceablv! The
hunters informed them that they had
come there to hunt game and trap fofr,
and, if tliey did not like it, they could
make tne most of it.
At this the Indians departed without
another word. The hunters concluded
that they meant mischief, and conse
quently were on the alert. Thev watch
ed the remainder of that dav, That saw
no traces of them. But understanding
the Indian character, they anticipated
an attack at daybreak on the following
morning, and accordingly completed
their preparations to receive them.
Their anticipations were correct. The
Indians made their appearance with the
light, and immediately charged the
camp. Two of the Indiana fell from
their ponie? mortally wounded, and one
of the hunters received n severe gunshot
wound in the abdomen. The rls, evi-
dently not expecting to find the whites
so well prepared, retreated after the
fourth or fifth volley from the hunters'
Henry rifles, carrying with them their
wounded companions.
Scene in a Menagerie.
At Emly, Ireland, there was a per
formance in a traveling menagerie own
ed by a Mr. Wbittington. A little I KIT,
son of a publican named Fleming, resid
ing in the village, wns playing in com
pany writh other children round the
cage where some bears were kept. The
child having incautiously thrust his hand
through the liars of the cage, one of the
bears seized it and lacerated it in a
frightful manner. The arm, from the
elbow, had to lie amputated, and the
doctor gave no hope of the child's recov
j ery. The boy's father, on heariug of
the occurrence, procured a gun and pro
ceeded to the menagerie, where he shot
a fine bear dead, and caused another to
escape. The villagers collected, and,
becoming enraged, attacked the boxes
and caravans of the menagerie, smashing
a ntimlier of them to pieeim Seven were
brought to Tipperary in custody, charg
ed with riot and assaulting the proprie
tor of the menagerie. A correspondent
of the Dublin Express says that on the
acrident to the child becoming known, ;
the people collected in large number* j
with stones, empty bottles, nod sticks,
i and smashed several of the boxes in
' which the wild lieasts were kept. They
then commenced to attack the proprie
tor, beat him, and blaokened liia face
and eyes.
A FIJUWKR Mission.—The work of
the ladies in carrying on the Boston I
Flower Mission is to distribute fruit and
flowers among the sick in the poorer
homes and in hospitals. Never was a
more fragrant annual report. The
ladies during the year have carried to
the ill and suffering 11,671 nosegays,
and 673 parcels of fruit. There was a
particular distribution of 2,075 pond
lilies. Outside the city 84 towns sent
contributions. There is a branch of the
Mission in Chelsea, and another in Cam
bridge. And why should not alms-giv
ing have its poetical Bide ? As in every
thing else, it is true that the prom of
charity is of the first importance—it
is of small use (if we may use Gold
smith's illustration) to send ruffles to
those who have no shirts. The blankets,
the flannels, the bread, the beef-tea, the
coals, must have precedence ; but when
we find ladies bearing flowers to the
stricken objects of their compassion, we
~ry be rure that the weightier nat
ters of relief will not be neglected.
Delicate attentions and graceful minis
trations show that those who promote
them have fully comprehended the wants
both of the body and the soul.

Jem wa# wounded, and the boat being a
leaky one, had probably swamped, and
drifted away witli the currants. Aliek

One Hundred Years Ago.
1 One hundred and ten year* ago there
was not a single white man iu Kentucky,
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. Then,
what is the most flourishing part of
America was as little knowu ss the
country around the mvsterious nioan-'
tains of the moon. It was not until j
1767 that Boone left his Lome, in North
Carolina, to become the first settler in
Kentucky. The first pioneer* of Ohio j
did not settle until twenty years after
this time. A hundred years ago Canada
belonged to France, and the popnLtion
did not exceed ■ million and a half of
: people. A hundred years ago the great <
Frederick of Prussia was performing
those grand exploits which bare madr
him immortal in military annals, and.
with his little monarchy,*waa sustaining
a single-handed contest with Ruraia,
Austria, and France, the three great
| lowers of Europe Combined. Wash
ington was a modest Virginia colonel,
and the great events in history of tho
two worlds in which these great but
dissimilar men took leading parts, were
then scarcely foreshadowed. A hun
dred years ago the United State# were
the most loyal part of the British em
pire, and on the political horizon no
speck indicated the struggle which,
within a score of years thereafter, eatsb
blrilied the great republic of the world.
A hundred years ago there were but
four now*|>npeni in America I Steam
engines had not been imagined, and
railroads and telegraphs bad not entered
into the remotest conception of men.
When we come to look hock at it,
.through the vista of history, wo find
1 that to the century just passed has been
allotted more important events, in their
Iteming u|Kin the, happiness of the world,
than almost any other which has elapsed
since the creation.—Srm Frnncitco lint

AH IMPORTANT DECISION.—A gentle
man visited New York, went to one of
the largest hotels, and took a room. On
j going to lied at night, he locked bis door
and placed his watch and money under
his pillow. It is probable that nine out
| of every ten strangers who visit New York
do the same thing nnder like circum
stances. On waking in the morning, he
discovered that both watch and money
had been stolen. Thereupon ho sued
the proprietor of the hotel for fifty dol
isrs, being the amount of monev lost,and
for the value of the watch, about
three hundred and fifty dollars. On the
trial, evidence was offered in behalf of
the defendnnt to show tbnt the notice
had been given which the law reouirrd.
The plaintiff obtained a verdict in his fa
vor for the full amount demanded,and au
appeal was taken from the judgment.
THANK A.—GOT. Baldwin of Michigan

Thanksgiving say*: " While we have
enjoyed much happiness aud lieen I>ll*l
cd with abundant metric*, we have also
been permitted to *ee the uncertainty of
earth! V possessions in the devastating

many fnmiliea, and auddenly deprived

largely alleviated the suffering of our af
flirted people. "
A Foirmvi.—Mr. Charles Lofovre, a
popular Frnnoli gentleman who, in Eng
land, races his horses under the assumed
nnme of "Mr. T. Lombard," has, it is
said, just come into a fortune of over
82,500,00 i), left him by a cousin whom he
never saw in his life. The gentleman in
question died in this country, whither
he immigrated many years since with
this sum of $2,500, which Mr. Lefevre's
father lent him when all his other rela
tives turned their baeks upon him.
DEAD. —Curtis's Hambletoninn, one of
the most valuable horses in Kentucky,
was found dead in his stable at Richmond.
Hr. Wiiiker, liio owner of the horse, was
offered 920,000 for him, a few days be

nnd incident of the cholcrn on the steam

Since Lat rcjxirt but two deaths have
occurred, and thcae were member* of
one family. lairn NeiLen (father), 55
year*, and hi* daughter, llerttH, 31 year*.
The dlHOHter and death that have befallen
thin intercatiug family of Dane* i* of the
moat incLncholy nature. Wlieu they
embarked to find a home and huvru of
rest in thi* country they oonntril iu their
circle nine |>er*oua, from the mother of
uearly three score year* to the infant of
*ix mouth*. First among the forty one
soul* the diacase sent to their final ac
count* on the Fntukhn, it decimated
the NeiLen family—Maria, aged 23,
died and was buried at sea ; then John,
aged 33, followed, and no marble abaft
will ever mark hi* tomb ; and yesterday,
from the Wpgt Hank hospital, the father
of the once happy group, and llernn,
auotlier daughtei, were buried. Tin*
i* not the whole alorv of thi* unfortunate
lot. The wife and motiier, aged 59,
when *eut to the hoapitoi wo* in a dying
condition, aud no woa Cecilia, two aud
a half year* old ; while iu the aecond
lot that wit* transferred the next nmni

family, lieuiM Lorn, aged 11 ; Jen*, 7 ;
tiara, 5; and the little lialte of six
mouth*, the darling infant lieiug the
only one got having the cholera, but vet
alie ia not well. What a family record !
Down on the dock, in the pelting,
soaking, cagterjv atom, without an um
brella, a neatly and aeimouablv attired
lean of alwut thirty met Dr. Moslier, oa
he wua returning from hi* off shore du
tie*. With tightly com pressed hand*
and rigidlv *et fa-e, aa if he meaut to
hear up boldly ngaiust the worst news,
lie quietly bn4 slowly—oh, how slowly 1—
said in good English, to the attentive
official :
" Doctor, my mune is J. Petersen :
they told me over in the office my wife,
Khia, wild era* on board tiie ship, is
dead."
Here the ixxi* fellow gtucd out
through the blinding atorm to tiie un
fortunate Franklin, and with a great
effort continued ;
"And our two small children, Peter
aud I'etronella, were with her. If she is
dead, Doctor, what in God'* name will
become of them, no one to treat them
kindly ♦"
" Hut, 1 dqn't think they ere dead. I
, think I saw tbem thi* morning, well;
i and they'll lie treated kindly ; I'll see to
; that."
"Oh, I nm so glad, ao gLd,">and the
father'* rifj d face relaxed—hi* children
might t>e aliamji their mother had gone
to her Lat homtr
" Gome over to tin* office, Mr. Peter
sen. ami I'll try to find out all about it
for vou."
The bereaved husband Wiu then shown
into tiie 1 Wtor's office, and though he
could not be aastired positively of the
safety of his children, Iscsuae many of
aucli little ones had lout their relative*
and their names were not known, he felt
that this glimmer of hope was left.
"t'an't I go on board the reave! and
aee, " pleaded Peteracn.
" No, that cannot lie.'*
" Well, Doctor (and here the atony
look oaiue hark to hta face), I must go
home to New Haven to-night. Won't
you telegraph me all about my wife and
little one* ? "
'• I will at once u aoon as I find out"
" That's a good man ; and do all you
can for me, will you. Doctor ? "
'• 1 certainly shall," kindly returned
the Deputy Health Officer. And Peter
am went out into the cold and the raui
and the gale, sick, ml, and perhaps
without wife and childreu ; but he was
brave. Peter Stoles, aged H ; Dorothea,
hia wife, aged 57, aud their son, Ferdi
nand, aged sixteen—the latter seriously
ill—were aent to the Wcat Hank on
Monday, ami behind them were left five
other*. children of both aexea, and 100
vonng to take care of themselves. Wivea
have lieen separated from huabands and
brothers from sisters ; this tearing asun
der the members of familie* being al
most as rough as death in many instan
ces to the poor strangers in a strange
land.
The Mormon Question.
In the (fmtt lawsuit of the People ex
Hawkius. which baa struck ao honvy a
blow at Mormon institution*, by the
conviction of the defendant, much sur
prise and aome adverse criticism were
evoked by the circumstance that the
Siroeecution wa* fot adultery, instead of
or bigamy uuder the act of C'ongrrw*
lof IMTJ. tin act intended to reach the
practice of jrolygamy in Utah. The
reasons were, briefly, that bigamy re
quires the proof of at least two marriag
es, only one of which is lawful. The
polygamous innrriages are a secret cere
mony, of which, aa experience has
ahown. the Mormons, when called into
court, deny all knowledge. The Lawful
wife cannot testify against her husband
in auch a prosecution. The unlawful
wivca would not (firs their testimony
liecanar of the social position to whiek
it would degrade them. On the other
hand, in adultery oases, under the Utah J
law, only one marriage need be proved ;
the wife may be witneaa against ler hus
band. and while she may know nothing
of liia polrgamoua marriage*. U likely
to be cognizant of his adulterous acts.
The sagacity of the course adopted ia
evident in the charge of Chief-Justice
McKcan to the jury, showing bow the |
proceedings for adultery steered clear of
all question* alwut the fact or the char
acter of polygamous marriage*, and, of
course, no evidence a* to faith in a pre
tended revelation or a religious obaerv
ance on the |wrt of a prisoner could be
allowed to influence the decision of the
jury since the question before them
was simply whether Hawkins had or
had not transgressed a plain law enacted
by a Mormon Legislature.
The Oil Market.
The news of the disaster to the whale
j ing fleet lutt completely unsettled the oil
market, if we may believe a New York
paper ; for not only has the entire catch
of the Arctic fleet been lost, but the
vessels with their outfit* are also gone
beyond recovery. In Boston to-dav the
price of whale oil has jumped from sixty
cents to one dollar |>er gallon, a rise qf
forty cents over the last rales a few days
ago. Holders of the article are not in
a linrry to sell even at this huge ad
vanre, and no transaetiona are reported,
both buyers and sellers not having aa
Jet sufficiently digested the new* to
e able to enter npon negotiations.
The price of sperm-oil will also
lie affected, hut not to the extent of
whnle, as the latter formed the chief part
of the oil lost. A few days ngo sperm
wss offered at 81.40 per gallon, and 81.85
offered. The entire stock of oil held in
this country on the first of the present (
month amounted to 18,000 barrels sperm, j
and 32,000 whale, agninat a stock of '28,-j
660 barrels sperm, nnd 86,000 barrels
whole on the Ist of January, leaving two
months' consumption yet to lie estimat
ed before the close of the year. The 1
quantity held in Boston to-ilnv ia l,oou
bbla. sperm, nnd 800 barrels whale. It 1
in considered that the fleet made a fatal ,
mistake in remaining ao late in the sea-1
son far Up in the North. It ia not safe ,
to tematn in those inhospitable seas
after tho first of September. But it ia
supposed that, spurred on by the success,
es of the past two years, and the tempt
stion to hold on for a large catch at the
last hour, tho whalers became so ven
turesome, and lienoe anflered tho terri
ble calamity.

Tlr Petroleum Trade.
The remarkable growth of the petro
leum trade is illustrated in the fart that
, while in 1800 a market eoold not be
found for ten million gallons, in 1871
the demand for export alone is inade
quately supplied by a hundred and forty
one million gallons. In the Pennsylva
nia oil regions, s territory extending
some seventy miles in length by about
thirty in breath, more than five thousand
wells" are in operation, yielding a pro
duct of aliout seventeen thousand bariels
a day. Many fortunes have been won
and lost during the fluctuations which
have attended the devolepment of the
oil trade ; and some of those who were
the moat energetic in their efforts to
build up the business have been hope
lessly swamped bv the reverses inciden
tal to the establishment of a new indus
try. Others have been rewarded with
j almost uninterrupted success, due in a
great measure, without doubt, to careful
calculation, prudent management, and
nerve which no discouragement was
sufficient to impair. Mr. F. Prentice of
this eityindiridually owns snd controls
liet weeii thirty thousand and forty
thousand acres of oil lands in Peusvi
vania and West Virginia; and his in
come from his oil interest alone is
estimated at two or threw thousand dol
lar* a day. He is constant I v baying new
territory. A Mr. J. 8. JfcCrav, who in
herited a farm of two hundred acres
situated in the centre of the oil produc
ing section, in the exciting times of 1X64
and 1865 resisted all the tempting offers
made him for his homestead, and still
holds his place intact. It is but a little
more than a year ago that, after having
by honest industry succeeded in accu
mulating the necessary means, he began
developing the hidden reoonrcsa of his
farm, from thirty acrea of which be had
already realised not lees than a million
j dollars. The present daily production
of oil from this propertv is nearly three ,
hundred barrels. Jv. Y. Paper.
The Eclipse of the San.
The total eclipoe of the sun which takes
place on the 11th of December, visible
in India and the islands south of Aria, is
already attracting the attention of science,
and instrument* are being placed in po
sition to arize upon all pnaaea of the
phenomenon during the two or three
minute* of its duration, that it may he
afterwards subjected to study and pem
-1 latiou from which important results in
astronomical science are anticipated.
Much ia expected especially of the Eng
lish expe lition to Oylon. which, with
the recent experiences in Sicily less than
a year ago to guide it, has made elabor
ate preparations and been furnished with
all ueeoed appliances. The vexed qnew
; tion a* to the nature of the bright corona
' which surrounds the disc of the raw n
during olwcaration ia in a fair way to be
settled if no " act of Ood " intervenes to
thwart the efforts of the observer*. Con
uerted with this question ia that of the
existence and nnture of the atmosphere
of the sun and the substance and condi
tion of the lnrainary itself. Accurate data
regarding these will furnish a basis for

that the observers will meet with all suc
