Not yet an old man, he has 'reached' the cud- urination of his, powers. and has harvested all 'the honors that France yields to artistic talent., He has interesteffi.the mind of a people of social writers and historians more than any painter that has ever lived; and, among the •artists of any generation, it would be difficult .tiO find amore seruppletts anffiexaet draughts- Mail, a more elaborate. and scientific picture 'maker. His' is an example of a scientific mind supplemented with the • draniatic sense, and he has the dieentive talent of a thoroughly-trained eye and hand. -1.10 lacks the sense of color, and the generous touch of a great painter; he laCks the tenderness of a poet ; he is, however, an artist of consummate skill . and upcommon gifts ; he is remarkable for hiscritical researches' and constructive genius in the domain. of his tory; he fails to command the tribute of tears, Which only the masters of our hearts can sum mon, at will. Gerffine is master of the human intellect, but not'of the human heart—Millet, the peasant-painter, reigns over the last. The nanative of the historian, the story of 'the traveler, the fifth act of a French romantic .play, are not More interesting, More enchain pig, than the picture§ Gerome has painted daring the last twenty years. To-day, criti cism is very well instructed concerning the merits and defects of his work. If we were writing for the French public, it would be diffi cult to say anything that has not been said about GerOme; but his genie is far from being an exhausted theme on this side of the Atlan tic. The first indisputable fact concerning Gerome is that he is ascrupuloustfutist in prac tice ; the second, that he is an intensely dramatic artist in his conceptions. A thorough examination of his works would lead us to the ,statement of the divergence of modern from ancient art, and exhibit the most striking char acteristics of the modern mind. Edmond About says his great renown commenced with the " adorable picture of young Greeks exciting a combat of cocks," which was painted in 1845 or '46. It has been well said of Gerome that Le .recommences to work for glory every morning, and counts as nothing the works he. has already Made—hence his indefatigable and varied studies ; henee he has never contented himself with pictures of one epoch and people,' like Meissonier, but has gone from Greek boys to herdsmen of the desert, from Louis XI. to Rembrandt, frord Rembrandt 'to the bat de l'opira, from the rßois. de Boulogne to the Danube. But the most direct way to inform you of the range and character of Gereme's work as an artist is, to enumerate the titles of his famous pictures—and almost every picture he haS painted is celebrated. One of his earliest pictures represented "a Madonna that out-Raphaeled Raphael in self conscious maidenliness and repose." , Since 1847; he has successively exhibited the follow ing named pictures :—" Anacreon and Love drunk;" "A Greek Interior;" "Souvenir of Italy ;" " Ptestam ;" "An Idyl ;" "Study of a 'Dog;" " A Keeper of. the Herd ;" "The Age of Augustus and the Birth of Christ ;"• "After the'Masked Ball;" "Memnon and Sesostris ;" "The Comedians;" "The Two Augurs ;" and " the frieze of the :Vase commemorative of the . London Exhibition, ordered by the minister of State for 'the manufactory of Sevres." Better known is his "Death of Caesar;" his "Roman 'Amphitheatre in the Time of Vitellins;" his "Dancing-girl, l'Almee;" his " Turkish Butcher." Equally celebrated is his " Phryne before the Tribunal ;" Ids "Socrates seeking Alcibiades at the House of Aspasia;" his por trait of "Rachel as the Genius of Tragedy ;" his " Cleopatra before Caesar." But' enumerating the titles , of G ere' me's paintings does little toward furnishing b the Mind with an adequate conceptiffit Of the ex traordinary completeness and instrUctiveneSS of his varied works. We are not now speaking of the artistic enjoyment to be derived from the actual victures—they are poorer in the • 'pleasure which is given by color and ideal beauty than the works of any great artist are speaking of the social and historical instruction which they give to the mind ; we are saying that no pictures have ever contained more of the truth of past or distant life, that no pictures were 'ever more satisfactorily illus trative of history or, travel. Assuredly, Geniffie is no ordinary man.. Far from being a poet,, far from having the vivid „sense of life and nature—which charms us, and liberates us from distressing or common things---of the simple painter or poet, he yet has that striking talent of conceiving a dramatic situation, and, that fine and intense and incisive expression, which have won for the French the first place among skillful narrators,' consummate actors and irresistible declaimers. Without being absolutely the first painter • who ever studied b to place his figures in the precise 'natural or architectural scene of the actual men and women of the particular epoch be proposed to illustrate, Gerffiee, advancing beyond everything suggested by, or realized in, the works of his master Delaroche, or in the works of Ingres, may be said to be the artist, of all others, who is most complete, most novel, Most studied, in realizing, in actualizing, the very place of his drama. No general truth of form, no merely representative object as an accessory to his dramatic figures; contented him; he labored to give a complete representa tion'of the aspect of a Greek or a Roman in terior. In other words, he went from particular, to particular, and in art he shows the triumph of logic. No painter has ever been more logical in his system, more logical In his work, than Gero'me ; no painter has ever more_Pers sistently applied the logic of his mind to the whole scale of his study of ancient life. The logic of Gerffine's work is flawless. The limitation of the illustrious artist, is in the feeling with which he may be said to eurisage his subject ; his defect is want of warmth, want of imagination, want of sympathy, but never lack of research for and care in the use of his materials. • Most of Gerffine's pictures have been the theme of descriptive culogiums, and the pain ter has been censured by moralists and idealists. llis cold and studied nuclides ; his premedita ted sensualities, like "L'Almite ;" his awful tra gedies, like "The Roman Senate-Chamber and the Death of Caesar," like . "The Duel after the Masked Ball ;" his mockery, as in "The Two Augurs;" his vulgarization and modern ization of august, men of the Aredpaons—so classic in the form, so modern in tire senti ment with which the painter represents the judges contemplating the divine beauty of the nude Phryne—these have been the witness of his power as a dramatist, his science as aim ar tist, his exclusive respect for fact, his Mater ence to the moralities of feeble people; his in sensibility to the liberal and glowing art of' more simple painters. Theophile Gautier, whit is chiefly of value to be quoted for. his descriptive phrases about , pictures, speaking of the wonderful background of the picture representing 'Socrates seeking Alcibiatlet the house of Aspasia, says that it represents an atrium ornamented with that antique eicgance so well ° known by the artist; that it is a complete restoration, in all the force of' the word; that the • figures are vigorimsly detached from the polychrffine architecture, which is so gay and luminous that one might almost say it is a little too rich. Gerilme's system is irreproachable. He never -draws from the depth of his moral elnseious uess. Ile always relies upon the facts which have survived the actual lite of antiquity. He makes a pecise study of a Greek or Roman bust,.of the objects and utensils of the civic and festive: life of' the ancients. Ile neglects no de: tail 'and 'never contents himself with a getietaii-• *lon or a there suggestion.; he always aims to lie has the talent of being perfectly saiinnisSitt Wore any object; he never takes holik-ei-eripiulds-with his subjeet,--liat, more equal iii his tepresuntatiou Riau the ~w~t«..wywnrx°6a^'.~.'-'(dF'al;,.~Lw...a..~ ~~:c:aw _ „«,.,.._, tograph, and 4 &Web:Mate, he depicts the ,obvious and ,actital, :401i one familiar With the -:Museums Of, Baii6, Berne; or Na lea, and likeW WitliPerionte's pieturegoinStijiave re-.

He returned in '44, and exhibited for the first time in the salon of '47. In '63,- he went to Turkey and to the shores of the Danube,- and later he visited Lower Egypt. In '6B, he made a second voyage to the East. He has been made chevalier of the Legion of Honor; be has re ceived all the Old medals, and - in '67 was one of the five French painters who received the grand medal. Gossip froM Paris informs us that he is "hus band to the daughter of a. great picture-mer chant; while the bullet of - another woman's jealous husband, remaining in his arm, attests the sincerity of his experiments in both of his principal genres'!—to wit, the tragic and the unconventional. Properly speaking, this ls'the . business of no one, except the persons directly concerned in it. But we all feel more or less a Boswellian interest in fammth men; neither the sanctities of the tomb nor the reserve and delicacy of the Ming are protected from ithe jackals of criticism and the inquisition of the guardians of public morals; most of us would show a more lively interest in a painter's habits and transgressions than in the most con scientious, close, and vital examination of his artistic character and works. Such readers will be pleased to know that GerOtne lives like a prince with the taste of an artist. His house; in Paris is as Much a work of art as his plc-. tures ; it is furnished with the same sober, ele gant, precise, and instructedtaste as a Greek interior; at the same time; it is , enriched with objects from the East. The interior is austere and elegant; it has nothing dazzling or osten tatious, nothing prodigal, but everything that a neat and learned and thoroughly-disciplined taste could wish—a taste that finds the objects of its admiration among Greeks, Arabs, and Turks, , and ignores everything of the Gothte, and everything of the age of Louis Gertime is one of the few great artists of : the world whose mind has been dis ciplined like a soldier's--that is to say,his natu rally exact intellect has been trained to act, and his baialloTexpresS; everything with precision, directness, and Singleness of aim. He con quers a subject as a general invests a city. He cares for everything, calculates everything, and does nothing by instinct or by inspiration. THE FRENCH REFORMS. What the "Third Party" Demands. "The opposition press," says a despatch from Paris, "complains that the Emperor does not promise the reforms which France needs:" It is worth while to know what are the reforms which the opposition demands and which the Emperor does not promise. They are fully stated in the manifesto published by. the twenty-seven inembers_of the:Left a few days ago, and they can he briefly explained. They assert that their object is "the govern-. went of the country by itself, for and by liberty ;" while the Emperor's pro gramme is that he and the country shall govern jointly. The twenty-§evemmembers say they. shall first demand a law 'taking from the. Em peror and giving to the Chamber itself the right of proroguing the' legislature. They will call the government to account for the "sanguinary dramas which have cast alarm and sadness ove • two manufacturing centres"—meaning by th' phrase the recent strikes put down by in' itary force. Next they will demand a law to ' l' r from the Emperor and giving to the Chamber the right of defining the electoral d a tricts. If there is any gerrymandering to be done, they want to do it themselves. The law prescribing an oath to suppOrt the constitution as a preliminary for voting must be 'repealed. 'The same fate must follow the provision of the constitution which shields public functionaries from accountability at Jaw for the exercise, of their authority. The• present military and conscription laws must .be abrogated, and the right or declaring war must be remitted to the legislature.. The press must be made wholly free; the stamp duty on news papers must be taken off; . the • law requiring "caution money" to: be de pesited before the publication of a hewspaper can, be commenced must be. abro gated ; and jury trial must be-established. To this is added a demand for the •repeal or all laws 1 est rieting public meetings: -The twenty seven Members of the Left conclude their manifesto by politely informing their cOnstitii ents that they do not intend to receive any in structions'from their supporters, but propose to he guided by their own sweet wills in their action as legislators. It needs no ghost to come from the grave to tell us that before any of thlise reforms are granted there will be a desperate, if not a 1 bloody, struggle.—ll'or/d: . . TREASITRE TROVE. Digging for Hidden Gold in Cnb ss The Havana correspondence of the New York Thides contains the following : Captain Kidd is not the only man who left a lare . e treasure buried in the earth, or more probably in the imagination of fools. Havana is also a • fine field for treasure-seekers. A Spaniard, named Same y Ferro, has just spent several thousand dollars digging in the yard of the Santa. Clara nunnery, where, according to an old, family history, a large amount of trea-• sure was buried' by a very wealthy Mexican gentleman some time during the last century. Another version is that the sacred Vessels itnd jewels, which were of immense value,and which have not been seen since, were buried by the lady abbess when the English took Havana in 40:2, and Used the convent as an hospital. The amount searched for is said to amount to millions; the amount found may be calculated at the market. value of a cartload of earth. The excavations iu the convent have been carried on at intervals since February last, and Mr. Ferro has expended nearly 515,000. The work has been carefully watched 'by a couple of priests,who would have 4 been entitled to one sixth of the treasury, and by some Government officir Is, who would Nye claimed one.fourtn. ittnis watched the 7dWl . w,h.h a great deal of in teres:, but the public was none the wiser. as only the" above 7 mentloned persons, , together with the workmen, were admitted• into• the sank inclosure. The convect of Santa Ultra is' still sufficiently wealthy; notwithstanding the losses incurred by the hiding away of the -jewels in 1162, as since that period enough has been gathered to replace the lost treasure.

SOtb.J The opinion seems to be gaining strength that the Pacific Railroad is working a great change in the climate of the Plains. In;lead of continuous droughts, all along - the railroad rain now falls in refreshing abutiganee... This iesult has been remarked , nptur in other Sections of the West. In Contra example, it is said, the chli ate has been .completely re volutionized since iron rails hate formed a net work all over that region. Instead of 'the destructive droughts formerly strili3red there, for some four or rive years there has been rain in - abundance—even more than enough to satisfy all the wants of farmers. This change is thought to be the re sult of an equilibrium produced in the electrical THE'DAILY EVENING BULLETIN—PHILAn ELPHIA, FRIDAY,. DECEMBER 3, 1869. currents, which has brought about a more uniform dispensation cf the rain. It is a fact within the observation of all Who remember ante-railroad times, that we. have now few , or. no such?thunder storms as ; we Ormerly bad • New England. The iron rails r.willrh 'touch and cross each other hi every (direction, serve as conductors and equalizers 'et the electric currents, and so prevent the terrible explosions which used to terrify u sin forrne tyears. The telegraphic wires' which acebinpany the iron rails everywhere, also act an ill:portant part in, diffusing electricity equally 'threugh the at mosphere, thus preventing the. occurrence of severe thunder storms. • • THE NEW ORLEANS ERALVDI9. verdict for the GlOierhoteuitit °hoof thO . , Spgar iCasein, , [From the New. Orleans Picayune, Nov, 27.3 The United States District' quirt, has been occupied during the last fe*Aiyi3: by , the great sugar cases in which the Government is plain titf.. and Messrs. Plazan Aviles defendants. The first of these cases, involving 400 hogs heads and 40 tierces of sugar, was yesterday concluded, the jury returning a verdict, late in the afternoon in favor. of the GOiernment and condemning ; the sugars. this case the Gov ernment claimed that the amount of under weight was BS,OOO pounds, which at the mini mum rate of duty. upon the imported Sugars, of three cents per pound, amounted' to $2,000 in gold. The Government contented itself with proving the invoice, the entry and the actual weight ofthe sugar, as Weighed In the bonded warehouse by two Government weighers, and then rested its case. • • The claimants mit on the stand Mr. Craw ford, the entry clerk of the Custom House, to prove that certain figures in red ink on the face of the invoice and entry were 'really the return of the weights as taken when the sugar landed on the levee. by a duly acknowledged Governmentveigher, and that these weights showed that the sugars,instead of being under estimated in the invoice, were overestimated 8,000 pounds. Messrs. Plazan and Couterie were also upon the stand, and stated that no other invoice or statement except the one pro duced had ever been rendered 'to them, the latter gentleman testifying that, sugars in transit from. Havana ,to. : Now. Orleans would gain in weight where they had been exported in a dry condition.. . The Government in answer 'to this set up' that the identity of the sugar weighed in the bonded Warehouse with the sugar deScribed in the invoice was clearly established, and that thus the Goyernment bad made out a prima facie case of underweight, Which therefore threw the ontis,probandi upon the claimants to show the correctness of their invoice, but that the claimants had utterly, failed to produce any evidence to that end: That they could have taken testimony in Havana, but that they had' .not done so ; that they could Kaye produced their accounts and books, but they had not done so, and that they had not placed upon the stand Mr. Mortin, wiio had weighed the sugars on the levee upon their" arrival in New Orleans. CHINESE John Stuart Milt on the Cooolte System. AvinNON, France, October 23, 18t:W.—Dear Sir: The subject on which you haVe asked my opinion involves two of the most diffichlt and embarrassing questions •of mo ialty—tbe extent, and limits of the' tight of those who have first taken possession" of an unoccupied portion of the earth's surface to exclude the remainder of mankind from in habiting it, and the. means which can be le gitimately used by the mote improved branches of the human species to protect them selves from beine , hurtfully encroached upon by those of a lower grade of : civilization. The ChineSe immigration into Amerit raises both these' questions. To furnish a• general answer to either of them would be a most in.- (hums undertaking. Concerning the purely economical view of the subject, I entirely agree with' you; and it could hardly be better stated and argued than it is in your able article in the New Yolk Tri bune. That the Chinese immigration, if it at tains great dimensions, nmst be economically injurious to the mass of the present poptila tion.; (hat it must diminish - theif : wages and re duce them to a loiver stage 'of physical comfort and well-being, I have no manner of doubt. Nothing can be more fallacious than the at tempts to make out that thus to lower wages is the way to . raise them, or that, there is any compensation, in an economical point .otview, to those whose labor is displaced, or who are obliged to work for a greatly reduced remune ration: ' On general principles this state of things, were it sure to continue, would justify the exclusion of the immigrants, on the ground that, with their habits in respect to popnlation, only a temporary good is done to the Chinese people by admitting part of their. surplus num bers, while a permanent harm is done Co a more civilized and improved portion of man kind. But there is much also to be said on the other side--Is it justifiable to assume that the character and habits of the Chinese are unsus (eptible of improvement? The institutions of the United States arc the most potent means that have yet existed of spreading the most im portant elements of civilization down to the poorest and most ignorant 'of the laboring masses. If every Chinese child were compul sorily brought / under your sehool system, or under d still more effective one, if possible, and kept'under it for a sufficient number of yearS, would not the Chinese population be in time raised to the level of the American? 1 believe indeed, that hitherto the number. of Chinese born in America has not been very great ; but so long as this is the case--so long (that is) as the Chinese do not come in familiess - and settle, but those who come are mostly men, and re turn to their native country, the evil can hardly reach so great a =granite as to require that it should'be put a stop to by force. One kind , of restrietive measure seems to me not only desirable, but absolutely called 14: the most stringent laws against inhodueing Chinese immigrantsits coolies, i.e., wider con tracts binding 'them to the service of particular persons. Ali such obligations are a form of compulsory labor, that is, of slavery ; and though 1 know that the legal invalidity of /mot contracts does not prevent Chem froni being made, I cannot but think that if pains were tPlcen . to make it known to tile h oinigrants drat such engagements are not legally binding, and especially if it . were made a penal offence to enter into them, that mode, at least, of .innnigratkin would receive a considerable check; -and it does .not Seem probable that any other mode, among so poor a population as the Chinese, can attain such dimensions as to com pete very injuriously with :American labor. Short of that point, the opportunities.given to numerous Chinese of becoming familiar with' better and more civilized habits of life, is -one of the best chances that can be opened up for the improvement of the Chinese in their Own country, and one which does not seem to me that it would be right to withhold from them. I am, dear §k, yours very sincerely: , . .1. S. To iIE,NRY GicomiE, hsut., San Francisco. CUTLERY.

POST .OFFICE AIEPAATIkiHNT, WASHINGTON, October 16, 1869. • SEALED PROPOSALS for furnishing Mail-Locks and Keys of new kinds, to be sub stituted for the Locks and - Keys now used on the United States mails, will be received at this Department until 9 o'clock A. M. the 3d day,of FEBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain Locks and Keys of a new construction for the exclusive use of the United States mails, and, if practicable, invented expressly for that pur pose. As the exposure of a model Lock and Key to public examination would impair if not destroy, its utility for the mails, the D epartment prescribes no model for bidders, but relies for its selection on the specimens of mechanical skill and ingenuity which a fair competition among inventors, hereby invited, may develop. It is suf ficient to describe the ,is requisites of a Mail-Lock, as follows: Self- Locking umformity, security, lightness, strength, durabihty, novelty of construction and facility of use. Two kinds of Looks and Keys;, one of brass and the other of iron, different in exte rior form and interior iconstruction or arrange ment, are required ; the Proposals should specify •separately the price. of each brass Lock, each Key for same ; each iron LOck, and each Key for same. Duplijeate samples of each kind ofLocks and Keys prclposed are required to he submitted with the Proposals ,• one of each Sample Lock to be riveted up and finished, and another to be open or unriveted, so that its internal structure and arrangement may easily be examined. Every sample sliould be plainly marked with the bidder's name, and, if the same or any part of it be covered by a patent, the date of, such patent and the °name of the patentee must also be attached thereto. The internal plan or arrangement of the Locks Oared, and the particular Shape of the Key requisite to open them, must, not be like any now or heretoforein use. They must tie warranted not to Infringe npon or conflict with any patented invention of which the bidder is not the patentee. Pre ference will be given to a Lock, the Key of which has not been exposed to general obser vation, or been, publicly described, disclosed, or suggested. A decision on the various specimens and Proposals will be made on or before the 3d day of MARCH, 1870 ; and, unless. the Post, mastcl-0 emend shall deem it to De healer the interests of the Department to reject 111 . the Proposals and specimenssubmitted `tinder this advertisement (a right hereby expresscdly re served to him), contracts will be entered into, 1 as soon thereafter as practicable, with the successful bidder whose Locks shall be adopted, for furnishing similar Locks and Keys for four years, as they may lie required and ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing by the contractor and the Postmaster- General for the time being, not less than 'six months before its expiration, the contract may be extended and comtinued for an additional term of four years. But on and after the expiration of either term of the contract, or on and after its rightful anulment at any time, the Post- Master-General shall have the right to con tract with or employ any other party to 'furnish the same, or any other kind of Locks and Keys; and if he shall deem proper, to demand and receive front the late or de faulting contractor all finished or unfinished Keys and the internal parts of the Locks con tracted for,.and all dies, gauges, and designs, (which would enable others .to make or forgo such Locks or Keys), in the possession of such contractor, who, after their surrender to the Department, shall be paid for the same,at such price as may be ascertained by fair appraise ment The contractor must agree and be able to furnish, if required and ordered, 20,000 Brass Locks and :3,000 Brass Keys within three . months from the time of entering into con tract, and 80;000 Iron Locks and 60,000 Iron Keys within ten months from such agile. But the Postmaster-General will reserve the right ' to increase or diminish, as the wants or inter ests of the service may demand, the quantities I of the Locks and Keys above specified, with a proportionate allowance 01 time to furnish them. . . All the, Locks furnished by the contractor must be warranted to keep in good working order for two years in the ordinary use of the. service, when not subjected to obvious vio lence; such as become defective within that time to be replaced with perfect Locks with out charge; All the Loc ks furnishodanader - - contract aro to be, each,' distinctly marked "U. S. Mail," in either sunk or raised letters; and all the Keys are to be numbered in the natural order ; each Key baying its appropri ate number distinctly stamped upon one side of the bow, and " U. S. Mail" on the opposite side. The contractor will be required to deliver the Locks at his own , expense at the Post- Office Department, Washington, D. C., put up on sticks, forming separate bundles of five Locks each, and securely packed in wooden boxes containing not more than two hundred Locks each. The Keys are to be delivered to ' an agent of the Department,duly and specially authorized in each case to take charge of and couverthe same from the contractor's manu factory to the Department, where both Locks and Keys are to be inspected and approved be fore they shall be paid for. The contractor will be required to give bond, with ample security, in the sum of fifty thou sand dollars, to be forfeited to the United States ifs liquidated damages, in ease of his failure to faithfully perform the contract, either as to furnishing the supplies ordered within a reasonable time, or as to guarding the manufacture of the Mail Locks and Keys • with due privacy, integrity and care. .. No Proposal will, therefore; be accepted if not accompanied with a bond of the penal sum of 13wenty Thousand Dollars, duly exe cuted by the ptoposed sureties (whose respon sibility must be certified by a Judge of a Court of Record nearest to their place of residence, attested by the Clerk of such Court under the seal thereof), and conditioned for their becom ; ing responsible as sureties on the. required • bond for the fulfillment of the contract, An case such Proposals'shall be accepted. • The manu facture of Mail Locks aud Keys is, of neces— sity, a highly .important and , delicate trust which the Department will con4ihito no bidder whose Proposals are not - also "accompanied with testimonials of good character. In deciding on the Proposals and specimens the Postmaster-General may deem it expedi ent to select the Brass Lock of one bidder, and. the Iron Lock of anoth6r. 11e,_ therefore, re serves the right of contracting . with different individuals for such different kinds of Locks as he may select. •Proposals should be carefully sealed and ad dressed to the "Second Assiktant Postmaster- General," and endorsed on the envelope" Pr oposals for, Mail Locks."

[From the London Spectator, N0v.13.1 Astronomers have been revealing so many wonders in 'the vast globe which rules the planetary scimme, that we cannot yet hope to see the startling results of their researches co ordinated into a consistent whole. On every hand new marvels are being brought to light. At one time Mr. Lockyer surprises us by ex hibiting the amazing velocities with which the , solar storms rage across the blazing surface of our luminary.. At. anotKer, the energetic as tronomer who presides over the Roman Ob servatory tells, us of water within the fierce tumult of the &Aar spots. The Kew observers track the Strange influences of the planets on the, solar atmosphere, Watching not only the great tide of spots which sweeps in the teu-year period over the solar storm-zones, and then leaves our sun ckar from speck or stain, but also the ripples of spot-formation' which come ins .Liorter periods, and seem inextricably blended to ordinary observers with the great periodic disturbances. Lastly, Lockyer, Hug gins, Zollner,. and Secchi describe the magic changes of form which pass over tongues Of flame. - projecting thousands of miles from the solar surface. We have before us as we write a series of colored prominence-pictures taken by Dr. Zenner, the eminent photometrician. It is impossible. to contemplate these strange figures without a sense of the magnificence of the problem which the San presents to astron omers. Here are vast entities—flames, if we will, but flames unlike all those with which we are familiar. And these vast tongues of fire assume fortes which speak to us at once of the action of forces of the utmost violence and in tensity. 'The very aspect of these objects at, once teaches this, but it is the rapid changes of place and of figure to which the spots are sub jected that are most significant on this point.. Here is a ; vast cone-shaped flame, with a Mush-, room-shaped head of enormous proportions, the whole object standing 10,000 or 17,000 miles from the sun's surface. In the colic figure we see the uprush of lately imprisoned gases, iu the outspreading head the sudden diminution of pressure as these gases reach the rarer upper atmosphere. But turn from this object to a series of six pictures placed beside it, and we see the solar forces in action. First, there is a vast flame, some 18,000 miles high, bowed towards the right, a ss though some fierce wind were blowing upon it. It extends in this direction some four or• five thousand miles. The next picture represents the same object ten minutes later. The figure a the. prominence has wholly changed. It is now a globe shaped mass standing on a marrow stalk of light above a row of flame-hillocks. It is • bowed toWards the left, so that in thoSe short minutes the 'whole mass of the flame has swept thousands amides away from its former posi tion. Only two minutes later, ,and again a complete change of appearance. .The stalk and flame-hillocks have vanished, and • the globe-shaped mass has become elongated.. Three minutes later, the shape of the promi nence has altered so completely that one can liarillyrecor 6 mize it for the same. The stalk is again visible, but the upper mass is bowed down on the right so that the , whole figure re sembles a gigantic A, without the cross-bar, and with, the down-stroke abnormally thick. This great A is some twenty thou Sand miles in height, and.., the whole mass of our earth might be *bowled between its logs Itithout touching them! Four minntes pass, and again the figure • has changed. The flame-hiliticks reappear, the down-stroke of the A: begins to raise itself, front sun's surface. Lastly, ~ after vet another interval of four minutes, the • Pgure•ot the prominence has lost all resetn- Nance to an A, and allay now be likened to a camel's head looking towards the right: The whole series of changes his '.oecuplied 3 =Wit; twenty-tree minutes, yet the flame exceeded our earth in volUme ten-fold at the least. But NJ% I, o ockyer has recorded;.an lestance..ofa yet morpriarreicilts nattire.Y ~ vs% proadrience extending seventy or eighty thousaud miles from the sun's surface vanished altogether In ten minutes. 'Die very way In. which Zollner's • drawings were taken, i3avors: of the ininveloUs. -We Lhve ttPolunt.of them as colored.- They are - ruby-red, and so -the ..promMences „appeared „ tts,the astronomer. The real lighter the,Prominences Is not ruby-red, however, but rose-colored, with faint indications of pink, or even bluish tints. The fact is, that by ,the new method of obserratien the image" of a prominence is formed by onlya certain part of its light. We may say that out of the several colored images of the same prominence the astronotker,selects one only for exainiriation, The "`explanation of this is worth consideration; as it itivolYes the essence Of the' method by . which' the'Orfo - are seenit all: ' When, we 'arialyz with,a simple prism is Newkin' did; we get instead of a round spot of White—that is, mixed light—a row of overlapping' spots of dif ferent color.. It was, only when, instead-, of a round spot, a fine line of •, white light . was analyzed, that. one could. detect, the absence of , images of this line along_ certain parts of the rainbow-colored streak—in other words, it, was thus only that the dark lines of the spectrum could be seen. And it was to see the lines more dearly that the slit of the spectroscope was made so narrow and therain bow-spectrum made so long by spectroscopists. But the observers of the prominences go' back to the old method. If they used a - narrow slit, a narrow strip of the prominence would alone form its spectrum, which would consistnf a few bright lines. But by having a wide slitthe whole prominence form its spectrum, which consists of a few bright pictures of the prom inences, There is a green picture correspond ing to the bright spectral line .called C, and-so on. If . the whole set of pictures were formed at once we could see none of them, for there would be side by side With them the blazing solar spectrum which would obliterate them altogether, Just as in or dinary telescopic observation the bright sun light blots out the prominence from the view.. But if the observer uses such a battery of prisms that the solar spectrum 'would be very long indeed, and if he admits to view only that part of the spectrum opposite which one Of the prominence-images exists, he can then see that image quite distinctly, for. the 'neighboring . part of the solar spectrum is so reduced in splendor that it no longer obliterates the promi nence-figure. In this way, then, the observer selects one or other. of the pictures of a promi nence, either the red or the green picture, to examine. And strangely enough, it is •by no Means certain that the two pictures are alike. Rather it. is highly Probable that they are dif ferent, though we have not space here either to indicate reasons for believing this,or to explain the significance of the circumstance should it eventually be established. It seems to us that when we consider the real dimensions of the solar globe; we appre ciate more fully the wonderful nature of those processes' of action indicated 'by recent re searches, than when *a regard these without direct reference to the sun's magnitude. liow many of us really j appreciate the enormous volume of the sun We read certain figures in books of astronomy, but do we grasp their full significance? • There is, however, a simple way of viewingthe matterwhich at once opens our eyes to the vastness of the solar globe.
