JOHN WANAMAKER
starts the May and June Sales with the unheard-of-aggregate
stock of Twe and a Salf Millions
$2,500,000,
and nowhere in the United States is there se
City and Country People
have access alike, with prices marked plainly, se that
ALL PAY THE SAME
at Jehn Wanamaker's.
The certainty that besides numerous bargains daily spread en the counters the
Big Stere is new known te fix the larket Prices
of all the things dealt in, settles exclusively that it is the BEST PLACE FOR STRANGERS
te deal.
These who de net care te step ever night at a hotel, can check bags, coats, umbrellas and
packages at the store deer, and can get lunch in the building.
The few items below show hew things are going just new.
Send postal card for samples.
Frem one of the largest and
best Paris houses we have some
splendid lets of Dress Goods,
all told about two hundred full
pieces, that were net ready for
delivery until long after the
time, and en account thereof
were reduced twenty-five per
cent, all-around.
This makes some famous
bargains :
A 41 -inch All-Weel Illuminated
Beige, 45c.
A 43-inch All-wool Crepe
Beige, 50c. Far under
value.
A 45-inch Cashmere Beige
60c. Far under value.
A 42-inch All-wool Check, 50c.
Far under value.
A 42-inch All-wool Albatross,
60c. Far under value.
A 42 inch All-wool Albatross,
75c. Far under value.
The following lets are very
desirable :
A 40-inch All-Avoel French
Shooda, 50c.
A 42-inch All-wool French
Shooda, 75c.
A 42-inch All-wool Pin's Head
Check, 60c.
A 3 i-i n c h Nun's Veiling
(creams), 35c.
The steady increase of our
Dress Goods Department must
be owing te the constant watch
te keep our prices the lowest.
We could net afford te cut off
dress patterns and take them
back, as our rules compel, when
ethers sold at lower rates, se we
are en the alert all the time te
protect ourselves by marking
the lowest figures going.
A magnificent let of newly
imported Lyens Black Grena
dines, warranted all silk. The
designs are rich and beautiful.
Twe qualities, $1.25 and $1.50,
which is said te be less than half
of the cost of importation. Be
fore the goods reached the
counters twenty dresses were
sold by the sample piece that
customers saw in passing. We
have some ether Black Goods
at half price.

ffONBEIW OF MODEKN SCIENCE.
The Speed of tlie Suu The Wild Kace Our
rntSre Selar System.
X. Y. Sun.
It is customary te leek upon tlie sun as
if it were the centre of the universe, an
immoveable fiery glolie around which the
earth and ether planets revelve while it
remains fixed in one place. Nothing could
be further from the truth. The sun, is
in fact, the most wonderful of travellers,
lie is Hying through space at the rate of
net less than a hundred and sixty millions
of miles in a year, and the earth and her
sister planets are his fellow voyagers,
which, obeying his ovc-pewcrius attrac
tion, circle "about him as he advances. In
ether wordy, if we co Id tahe up a position
in open space in adanc3ef lie sun, we
should sce him rushing toward ns at the
rateofsemo 430,000 miles a day, chased
by his whole family of shining worlds and
the vast swarms of meteoric bodies which
obey hi-? attraction. The general
ilhcVtien of this motion of the
solar system has been known since
the time of Sir William Herschel.
liislewsul the constellation Hercules,
which, at this season, may he seen in the
nerthcastciii sky at 1) o'clock in the eve
niiij;. As the line of this motion makes an
auglcefiifty odd degrees with the piano
oMhe earth's orbit, it fellows that the
earth i.s net iike a horse at a windlass,
circling around the suu forever in oue
beaienpath, but like a ship belonging te
a Hec !. whose leader is continually pushing
its prow into unexplored waters. The
path ! the earth through space is spiral,
m that it is all the time advaueing into
new iejieus along with the sun. She is
en a boundless voyage of discovery, and
her human crew arc born and die in wide
ly separated tracts of space. Think of
the distance ever which the travels of the
sun have borne the earth only siuce the
beginning of human history ! Six
theusaud"ycais age the earth and sun
weie about a million of miles further
from the stars in Keiculcs than they
are te-day. Columbus and his con
temporaries lived when the earth was iu a
legion of the univeise mero than sixty
thousand millions of miles from the place
-vbcre it is new, he that sincehis time the
whole human race ! as been making a
voyage through space, in comparison with
which his longest vej ,e was as the foot
step of a liv. ' Thus t'uc gieat events iu
the history ji the weiM may be said te
have eccuued in diffeient pails of the
univeise. An ahne.il inconceivable dis
timcc separate... the spot which the earth
occupied in the time of Alexander from
that which it occupied when Ciesar invad
ed (.Saul. The sun and the earth have
wandeicdse far from their birthplace that
tin mind staggers in the attempt te gue.-s
lit the stupendous distance which new
probably separates them from it. It may
be that tiie motion of the solar system is
orbital aud that, our sun and many of the
stars, his fellow suns, are revolving around
some common centre, but if se, no means
has vet been devised of detecting the form
or dimensions et his orbit. Se far as we
can see the sun is moving a stiaight line.
Since space is beheved te bj tilled with
some sort of ethereal medium, curious
consequences arc seen te fellow from the
motions'.!! !iav j bei-n declined. A solid
lobe like the e.uth lushing at gieatspetd
through neb i medium will encounter
some rt stance If the medium he ex
CTIM11U,',J.V laiO, US li, liJUSli uu m i.iui, f'"J
icsistaucs will be correspondingly small,
but sliii theie will lie resistance. If the
sun steed still, the earth owing te the in
clination of its axis te the plane of its
ei bit around the sun, would encounter tlie
icsibtauc;: of the ether principally en its
northern l.emisphcie from summer te
winter, and en its southern hemiiphoie
from winter te summer. But iu conse
quence of the motion of the suu shared by
the earth, this law of distiibutieu is
changed, and from summer te winter the
oartirpleushs through the ether with ils
'.until p'le feicnniM, while from sviuter te
.summer, although the ivMslanc.i or the
ether is encountered mero evenly by the
two hemispheres-, yet it. is .still fci-t pnnci
pally in the northern hemiphere, and the
peut'a pole remain", oractie illy protected.
It fellows that the southern hemisphere,
aud p.itticu'arly the south pVar region?,
aie mero or less completely .sheltered the
whele y. ar m.ind. It might then be sup
pest d that lb: impact of the pirticles (f
ti.ecthci shouldered aside by the earth
in its svTift lliht ani the compression prc
ilnced in iie.it of the advancing glebo
would tend te raise the temperature- of
the neithcin hemispheie na compared
with the southern hemisphere, while the
south po'e, being mero or less directly in
the wake of the earth, and in a region of
r.ncfactieu of the ether, would ceust.iutly
!.).ss"s .i lemaikably low temperatme
New, itiskdjvTii that the south polar
logieucaio mere covered with iceand snow
'ban these of the north, aud that tue tem
perature there the year around is lower.
Whether this difference is owing te the
effects of the earth's journey through the
ether is a question.
The sun, tee, moves with his northern
hemisphere foiemest, and it is worthy of
lem-nk that it has been suspected that the
northern hemisphere of the sun radiates
mete heat than the southern.
P.nt. whatever effect it may or may net
have upon the meteorological condition el
the earth, the fact that the solar stein is
thus voyaging through space is in itself
exceedingly iutere-liug. Net the wildest
traveler's dream pi cseuls te the imagina
tion such a veyn-,1: as this en which every
inhabitant of the catth is beuud. A glance
at a star map shows that the direction in
which we ate going is carrying us toward
n region of the heavens exceedingly rich
in stars, many and perhaps most, of which
are greater suns than ours. There can be
little doubt tliat when the sun arrives in
the neighborhood of theso stars it will be
surrounded by celestial scenery very differ differ
en, fiem. and much mero brilliaut than
that of the legion of space in which he
new is. The inhabitants of the glebe at
thatdistantpc-iii.il will certainly beheld
new and far mere glei ions heavens, though
the eaith in.iy be unchanged.
AN KCOKNTHiy L'AISMKIC.
llu-.v 11 e laves In Vitlllirnl:i.
A ease iii Les Angeles, California, lias
excited much attention because of the
difficulty of drawing the line between
cccentiicity and insanity. Frederick M.
Shaw, who lives iii the Cahuenga mouu meuu mouu
tains.iiine miles from Les Augclcs,was do de
clarcd insane by the superior court, but
en a lehearing the judgment was set
aside and lie was released. The charge
was brought against him by a neighbor
who, it is. shrewdly suspected, coveted his
laud. Shiiw'e history i-s se peculiar that
it is well worth recalling brielly. He is a
relative of Chief Justice Shaw, of Massa
chuscttF, and was first heard of ou this
coast about ten years age, when he issued
a prospectus of a hvgienic colony te be
founded in Southern California, the mom mem
bcrs te live like himself en strictly vegeta
ble diet. He went te England te float his
scheme, but although he obtained seme
encouragement the enterprise was a fail
ure. This made Sbaw misanthropic; he
retired te Nichols canon, in the mount-
ains, made himself a house in a tree top,
and every night ascended te his aerial ten
ement and pulled np the ladder after him.
He dressed in peculiar style, wearing only
a flannel shirt and trousers,and lived upon
fruits and nuts. The fruits of this com
munion ,with nature were a series of letters
en the creation of the human species and
the best methods of securing health,
which were printed in the Les Angeles
newspapers and gave him a local reputa
tion of half philosopher, half crank. His
fame even spread beyend the coast, and
among these who became deeply interested
in the philosopher was a New Jersey
schoolmistress, Margaret Garey Wright.
A correspondence sprang op between
the two. Shaw proved te be an impas
sioned letter-writer, and the wooing which
he carried en at long range was appropri
ately ended by a marriage by telegraph en
June 4, 1879. A dispatch was sent te Shaw
by the Rev. C. S. Coit, of Newark, N. J.,
saying : " Will you take Margaret Garey
Wright, of this city, new present te be
your wedded wife?" Te this Shaw re re
spended: '! will;" and two witnesses
being at each end of the line, the marriage
was accomplished. The bride was very
slew about joining her husband, but at
last, after he had given up all hope of see
ing her, she appeared one day in Les
Angeles and was taken out te the recluse's
mountain retreat by a mutual friend. The
latter went en in advance te prepare the
bridegroom, whom he found clothed only
in a shirt and cap, gathering honey. He
was prevailed upon te den a pair of
trousers te meet his bride. The meeting
was rapturous and the couple set up I
housekeeping in a shanty which Shaw bad
built under the branches of his favorite
tree. Te the bridegroom's store of wal
nuts and honey was added the gift of a
box of raisins from the mutual friend. In
this primitive fashion the couple lived
for two years, when the woman grew
weary of fashions in fig leaf and an ascetic
diet, and took up her residence in the
town. Shaw grew mero eccentric, and
seme of his utterances in the presence of
a neighbor who had worried him led te
the charge that he was insane. The testi
mony en the rehearing was very conflict
ing, but it was shown that the philosopher
was net dangerous ; se he has ence mere
returned te enjoy his commnnien with
nature.
