CLARA LOUISK TIFFANY, the
young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. F. 13.
Tiffany, of Nicholson, died yesterday,
after a lingering illness, of three years.
Miss Tiffany was one of the nurses
employed at the Hahnemann hospital
when that institution was first opened
and made a host or friends in this city
by her gracious nature and many lov
able traits of character. She died from
u disease which she contracted while
nursing a patient at tho hospital, and
passed away a patient martyr to her
duty. Mrs. H. T. Wilklns, of this city,
a sister, is the only relative surviving
her here. The funeral will bo held on

olson. Funerals.

morrow morning from the house, 331
Jefferson avenue. Interment will be
made In the Dunmore Catholic ceme
tery. ANOTHER JOURNEY ENDED.
All the Inhabitants of the Earth
Traveled a Long1 Distance Last
Year.
Xew Yoik Heiald Letter.
Again this comparatively Insignifi
cant globule of matter on which tho
human family resides and to which
the members of that family are natur
ally attached by strong ties has com
pleted Its regular Journey around tho
sun.
Just how many miles It has traveled
since 1001 began we cannot ascertain
from any data at hand; but if the
reader cares to hguro out the problem,
here are some (Inures for it starter:
The volume of the sun exceeds that of
the earth about 1,253,000 times. Tho
mean distance of the earth's orbit from
tho sun is 81,300,000 miles. Double that
and add it to the sun's diameter and
you have the diameter of the earth's
orbit, or somewheie near one-third of
the distance which our planet whirled
through In the 303 days ending Decem
ber 31. While going forward at the
rato of about eighteen miles a second,
us we recall tho schoolbook figures,
the earth wus revolving on its uxis at
the comparatively snail pace rate ot
1,000 miles un hour, freighted In her
hold coal, oil, and other iullammable
substances, and her Internal flies were
ragging fiercely, as the output of her
chimneys unmistakably indicated, Hut
notwithstanding these complex and in
conceivably rupld motions utui this
rjaky cargo, the voyage was made as
safely as any of its millions of prede
cessors, Tills annual trio of the earth was
denied bv Hr,er Jasper when lie lived
on this sphere. Tho upparent motion
of the sun he took lor actual move
irient of that orb. "The sun do move,"
but not around our globe. In fact,
the sun has at least three motions,
and one ot them is estimated ut tho
rate of 00,000,000 miles per annum, Wo
do not vouch for these figures, but an
astronomer of our acquaintance has
such faith In them that he refuses to
discount a single mllo and even
threatens u raise as a result of more
careful investigation.

"Ever been under eomprehseil air l)e
lolo,.'" askeil my guide.
"No."
"Heart ever been seriously affected?"
1 called to mind an ethereal lyile
dedicated when I was even younger
than "X am now, but answered "No."
With this absurance wo enteied the
cylinder with a. few eais tor company,
the little hteel door closed behind us
with a hollow bans which made mo
feel like a rat in a trap and then came
a deafening roaring and hissing as the
valve fiom ihe under water part of iho
tunnel rusdunl through the pipes Into
our small eonumrtmont to make our
atmosphere pressure ecuwl to Its own.
"Keep swallowing!" shouted my
guide, with his mouth close to my ear.
So I kept swallowing. "Hold your nose
mul blow!" T held my nose and blew
out my cheeks, ho as to forco the air
Into those tiny canals that lead from
the throat to tho Inner side of one's
eardrums, and thus equalize the pres
sure on them. And along with the lour
ing of tho air came many strange new
roarings and Mn"glngK In my head as
the pressure went up and up and the
air grew warmer and heavier, like tho
utmosphere In a hothouse, and inoto
dllllcult to breathe. Finally the roar
lug ceased, the door at tho opposite end
of our tube, which but u moment ago
could not have been forced open by any
twenty men, now swung easily back,
and we stepped out Into an atmosphere
which, could It have burst through the
door upon us, Instead of coining to us
gradually through sullublu small
valves, would have blown us bodily
out of the tube and into the next world,
like so many cilmsoii and yellow au
tumn leave..
