SUN DANCK OF Till] SIOUX. A GREAT RELIGIOUS CELEBRATION BY AMERICAN INDIANS. Ceremony Described in lite Uurcli Oaatury- Ilarharoo* 111 ten of Cruelty and Sal/ Torture—They Sometime* Lead to Nainting and Prove the Warrior'* Nerve. The March number of The Century Magazine has an article by Lieut. Schwat ka, describing the great sun dance held a few years ago by Sioux Indians at the Bpottcd Tail agency on Beaver creek, Nebraska. White men are rarely permitted to view the ceremony, and it was only through the influence of Spotted Tail, the chief, and Standing Elk, the head warrior, that Lieut. Schwatka was per mitted to be present at this dance, the eelebration of which occupied eight or sine days. 111 the magazine the ceremony is fully describcd. We quote from advance sheets but two incidents of the dance. The charge upon the sun pole, which Mr. Frederic Remington has made the subject of a spirited illustration, is de scriiKMl as follows: ft <3: 111 WAVED HIS BI.ANKETKD AKM AlioVH HIM. (After Frederic Hemitigton in the March Cen tury. | "Long before sunrise the eager partici pants in the next great step were pre paring themselves for the ordeal, and a quarter of an hour beforo the sun roso above the broken hills of white clay a long line of naked young warriors, in gorgeous war paint and feathers, with rifles, bows and arrows, and war lances in hand, faced the east and the sun pole, which was from GOO to 000 yards away. Ordinarily this group of warriors num bers from GO to "00 men. An interpreter near me estimated the line I beheld as from 1,000 to 1,200 strong. Not far away, on a high hill overlooking the bar baric scene, was an old warrior, a niodi oine man of the tribe, 1 think, whose solemn duty it was to announce by a shout that could be heard by every one of the expectant throng the exact mo ment when tho tip of the morning sun appeared above the eastern hills. "Perfect quiet rested upon the line of young warriors and upon the great throng of savage spectators that blacked the green hills overlooking the arena. Suddenly tho old warrior, who had been kneeling on one knee, witli his extended palm shading his scraggy eyebrows, arose to his full height, and in a slow, dignified manner waved his blanketed arm above his head. The few warriors who were still unmounted now jumped hurriedly upon their ponies; the broken, wavering line rapidly took on a more regular appearance, and then the old man, who had gathered himself for the great effort, hurled forth a yell that could be heard to the uttermost limits of the great throng. The morning sun had sent its commands to its warriors on earth to charge. "The shout from the hill was re-echoed . b 7 the thousand men in the valley; it was caught up by the spectators on the hills as the long line of warriors hurled theme Ives forward towards the sun pole, the objective point of every armed and naked savage in the yelling line. As they converged towards it the slower ponies dropped out and the weaker ones were crushed to the rear. Nearer and nearer they came, the long line becom ing massed until it was but a surging crowd of plunging horses and yelling, gesticulating riders. "When the leading warriors had reached a point within a hundred yards of the sun pole, a sharp report of rifles 60unded along the line, and a moment later the rushing mass was a sheet of flame, and the rattle of rifle shots was like the rapid beat of a drum resounding among the hills. Every shot, every ar row and every lance was directed at the pole, and bark and chips were flying from its sides like shavings from the ro tary bit of a planer. When every bullet had been discharged, and every arrow and lance had been hurled, the riders crowded around the pole and shouted as only excited savages can shout." Several days following the consecra tion of the sun pole were devoted to sun worship, fasting, dancing and various other rites. The final ordeal is thus de scribed by Lieut. Schwatka: "The row of dancers took their places promptly at sunrise, but it was not be fore 9 or 10 tiiat the tortures began. "Then each of the young men pre sented himself to a medicine man, who took between his thumb and forefinger a fold of the loose 6kin of the breast, about half way between the nipple and the collar bone, lifted it as Stigh as possible, and then ran a very narrow bladed but sharp knife through the skin underneath the hand. In the aperture thus made, and before the knife was withdrawn, a stronger skewer of bone about the size of a carpenter's pencil was inserted. Then the knife blade was taken out, and over the projections of this skewer, back wards and forwards, alternately right and left, was thrown a figure-of-eight noose with a strong thong of dressed skin. This was tied to a long skin rope fastened, at its other extremity, to the top of the sun pole in the center of the arena. Both breasts are similarly punc tured, the thongs from each converging and joining the rope which hangs from the pole. The whole object of the de votee is to break loose from these fetters. To liberate himself he must tear the skewers through the skin, a horrible task that even with the most resolute may re quire many hours of torture. His first attempts are very easy, and seem intended to got him used to the horrible pain he must yet endure In-fore he breaks loose from the thongs. "As he increases his efforts bis shouts increase, huge drops of perspiration pour down his greasy, painted skin and every muscle stands out 011 his body in tor tuous ridges, his swaying frame, as he throws his whole weight wildly against tiie fearful fetters, being con vulsed with shudders. All the while the beating of the tomtoms and the wild, weird chanting of the singers near him continue. The wonderful strength and extensibility of the human skin is most forcibly and fearfully displayed in the strong struggles of the quivering victims. 1 have seen those bloody pieces of bone stretched to such a length from thodevo teo that his outstretched arms in front of him would barely allow his fingers to touch them. "i know it is not pleasant to dwell long upon this cruel spectacle. Gener ally, in two or three hours the victim is free, hut there are many cases where double and even triple that time is re quired.. Oftentimes there are half a dozen swinging wildly from the (Kile, running towards it and then moving backwards with the swiftness of a war horse and the fierceness of a lion in their attempts to tear the accursed skewers from their wounded flesh. Occasionally some over ambitious youth will erect four stakes within the arena, and fasten ing skewers to both breasts and to both shoulders will throw himself backwards and forwards against the four ropes that hold the skewers to the stakes. "Paintings are not uncommon even among these sturdy savages, hut no for feit, opprobrium, censure cr loss of re spect in any way seems to follow. The victim is cut loose and placed on the floor of some lodge near by and left in charge of his nurses. The only attempt I saw to break loose from double skewers in front and behind terminated in this manner. Whether the men ever after wards enter the cruel contest after hav ing thus failed Ido not know. It may be possible that some exceedingly ambi tious warrior may enter the lists year after year to show his prowess, hut 1 understand that it is supposed to he done hut once in a lifetime. It is not obliga tory, and by far the greater number grow up sensibly abstaining from such savage luxuries. When the day is almost over, and the solar deity is nearly down in the west, the self tortured warriors tile from the inclosed arena, one by one, and jii-t outside the doors, deeply cov ered with handsomely paiqted buffalo robes, they kneel, and with arms crossed over their bloody breasts and with bowed heads face the setting sun, and rise only when it has disappeared. "Many other horrible variations have been reported to me, such as tying a sad dle or a buffalo's skull to the end of the long rope fastened to tile skewer and running over the prairie and through the timber, the saddle or skull bounding after the victim until lie liberates him self; or, when fainting, to draw the tor tured man clear of the ground by the ropes until Ids weight overcame the strength of tho distended skin. My in formants told me that no two of the cer emonies were alike, the self torture in some form being the one common link in all. The consecration of the sun pole, much of tho dancing and singing, the double efforts of ambitious youths and other ceremonies might ho left out entire ly or others substituted. I describe it only as I saw it." Salt Luke'K Firat Gentile Mityor. Goergo 51. Scott goes into history as the first Gentile or non-slonnon mayor of Salt Lake City.

Leon Say was com pelled to announce that he was unable to learn the name of the author to whom had been awarded the annual prize of 3,000 francs for an essay on political economy. The successful writer, who de clines to claim his honorarium, is said to be a well known French statesman, who remains in the background because his views as presented to the society are at variance with his public expressions.

Whnt Gih'N On In One of the (lrent tireen houKVK Which Supply New York with Flowem and Plant* —The Problems of Foreleg anil II j brhli ration. To one in search of poesy or anything above the dull level of the cornmonplaco, probably the hist spot which would sug gest itself as likely to yield it would be the typical, prosaic Long Island town. Yet one of these, and one of the most prosaic ut that, is—paradoxical as it may appear--a veritable land of flowers. As toria teems with lovely, though hidden blooms. If the flowers which the florist's jealous care covers from the inclement weather were left exposed, they would spread over thousands of acres, and make of tlio little town a garden of loveliness. For eight months in the year the daily supply <>f (lowers to this city amounts to $15,000 worth, while on special occasions, such as Easter and other holidays, the amount is nearly doubled, and the greater part of ibis supply comes from Long Island. The largest of the Astoria nurseries stands just within the limits of the vil lage. The wide expanse of turf around it is dotted with no less than thirty-one greenhouses, whose glistening roofs com prise some 75,000 square feet of glass. The hybridization of plants to form new specimens is in no small measure dependent on chance. The method em ployed is in itself simple, and consists of dusting the pollen from the bloom of one plant upon the stigma of the other, the result being a flower partaking of the characters of both. The incidental cir cunistanees, however, are almost impos sible to regulate, save by seientilie ap plication and the minutest care. The selection of two plants which are liable to join, is. in itself, a test of the floricult urist's skill, and this being achieved, the temperature must he regulated to the convenience of the plants, and tie dry ness or moisture of the atmosphere care fully watched. Yet, in spite of all pre cautions, and for no apparent reason, the attempted hybridization is often a fail ure. Some of the best discoveries ever made in this branch of horticulture have been brought about accidentally, the beautiful chrysanthemum called Mrs. Alphcus Hardy being the result of one of these fortunate blunders. FORCING BLOSSOMS ANI> FRUIT. Another problem which has from time immemorial busied the nurserymen is the question of producing blooms or fruit at state-1 periods by forcing, in defiance of natural laws, and although this has not yet been reduced to a certain law, important improvements have beeu made. A skillful gardener can, by the regulation of heat, moisture an I ferti lizers, considerably advance or retard the production of any plant. In Japan, where floriculture has attained to scien tific heights as yet unknown in America, the precise day can lie fixed for the blos soming or fruition. Only a vast experience cau foretell the degree of heat necessary toaplant, aud in all nurseries the greatest precautions are utilized to insure success. In the nurser ies referred to, more than 40,000 feet of pipe are used for heating, while a wind mil! pumps 20,000 gallons of water daily for use in the hothouses. The regulation of heat varies with the nature of the plant. The difference of temperature be tween individual hothouses is marked; for, while in one there will ho 100 (legs, or more of dry, parching heat, the next will benlmostcold, andtheairof another may be heavy with a moist heat which turns it into a vapor bath. The amount of forcing also varies with different species of plants, some thriving under it ami displaying marvelous beau ties which they never attain in their native sUil". while others, like the slen der Dendtobium Thyrsifloruin, refuse to depart from ordinary laws and die when artificial means are applied. The plants are wai nvd every day, and in some cases twice or ! i nve times a day. This alone take-. i , a considerable amount of the workm - lime, but it is not the only attention claimed by them.

To the floriculturist flowers have no romance. Their cultivation to him is a mere matter of commercial value, and the sigh; ifa llorist aud his apprentices seizing delicate plants by the handful and pulling them hither and thither al ways iilis the layman with alarm. A MILLION PLANTS UNDER GLASS. Each of the spacious hothouses is de voted to a single plant and its varieties, and the whole number aggregates near ly 1,000,000 plants. This lirm handles more ferns than any house in the coun try, and it sends out over 100,000 ferns annually. All sorts and conditions of ferns are represented, and from the well known Adiantium, or maidenhair, to the Dixona, or tree fern, which frequently sells for §OO. The other hothouses contain a pris matic gradation of colors, from the pale yellow of jonquils to the burning orange of tile large amaryllis, and from the daz zling white azalea to its richest deep red shade. Ol' course, roses arc plentifully represented; the well known La Prance is here; also the majestic American beauty, and the newer varieties which have superseded these in popular favor, as the Bride, Puritan, William Francis Bennett and Mine. Holstie. The fashion in roses, like every other, is subject to fads, and their prices are greatly affected in consequence. When a roso is "the rage" the smallest plant, as it sprouts in the tiny pots known as "thumb pots," is worth "from §1 to §2; while later, when its popularity is on the wane, the same plant fetches barely live or ten cents.— New York Commercial Advertiser.

IVculhiritleM cf the* Heavenly IHitplii)*. New Feature* of the Sim llevealed to the Astronomer* —A Talk Willi a Profeanor on it Sky High Subject. In answer to several questions regard ing the frequency of meteoric showers Professor Very said: '•There are certain epochs in the year when particular meteoric showers are due. Assiduous observation has given a list of nearly 100 such showers in the course of a year, each of which may be expected on a certain date from a certain part of the heavens. "particular showers have characteris tic features; that is, some meteors are very swift; others rather slow. Some vanish and leave no trace, while others are accompanied by tails and leave streaks after the nucleus lias disap peared. Few of these showers last more than one or two days, though there are some instances where it is suspected that successive meteors belonging tothesaiue group appear during several weeks. Cer tain dates have been noticed to bo more especially fireball epochs. That is, the rare event of an exceptionally large and brilliant meteor or fireball is more apt to occur on certain dates. "Jan. 25 is the date of the meteoric shower characterized by the swiftness of its components, which are usually at tended by streaks. The radiant point of this shower is in the constellation called Berniee's Hair, a star cluster—one of the morning constellations. As this meteor is claimed to have been seen in the even ing it is more likely to have been one of theuuuliussifiedsporadic meteors. Infor mation as to the position of motion, ap parent brilliancy, color, timo of appear ance and length of timo during which the appearance lasted is likely to lie valu able in the recovery of the principal characteristics of an event which is neces sarilv seen but by few." "How Jo you account for these mete oric showers coming at regular periods?" was asked. "All that we can say is tiiat the celes tial spaces are thinly populated in every direction with these scattered fragments, which are veritable miniature planets traveling in different orbits around the sun in many instances, and serving as messengers from one star to another in others. "The number of them is siuiply count less. They make up ill number what they lack in size, so that if wo could gather together all the minute members that go to make up a group it might make a body of very respectable size, al though the individual components arc so small that they seldom escape complete disintegration and dissolution in their passage through the atmosphere." "What produces the great light which always follows the passage of a meteor?" "The light which is seen while the pas sage of a meteor through the air lasts may be due partly to the combustion of tho materials of the air of life, but it is mainly an incandescence of the condens ed atmosphere which accumulates in ad vance of an object which is moving many times I lie rapidity of a cannon ball often, I may say, with many hundred times the rapidity of a cannon ball. Un der these conditions even the seemingly flimsy resistance of the air becomes as great as that of a solid body, producing intense beat, and in the ease of a large meteoric stone frequently resulting in the fracture and demolition of tiie object. "Colored meteors are sometimes seen with a peculiar tint of the flame, being due to the burning of some special ingre dient of the meteor. We have yellow, green and occasionally red meteors, hut the majority are white like the majority of the stars. It cannot he said that any one part of the earth can be more affect ed by these visitants than another. There is, however, a diurnal periodicity, the larger numbers being seen in the early morning hours when that portion of the heavens comes in view toward which the the orbital motion of the earth is carry ing us. We then see not merely the coin paratively few meteors whose speed is sufficient to enable them to overtake the earth, hut that larger number composed of all those which are gathered up in the track of the advancing earth, whether moving with against or athwart its course." "The appearance of the collected re sults of the observation of the total eclipse of Jan. 1, 1889, shows that this event has added many interesting facts to the pre vious knowledge of such occurrences. A large and very perfect photograph of the corona was obtained by Professor William 11. Pickering, of Cambridge, Maes., and one of a smaller size by Pro fessor Barnard, of the Lick observatory. "These show the sheaves of curling fragments about the sun's poles in great detail, indicating the composite nature of many of the individual filaments, and confirming the photographs taken at the previous sun spot minimum of 1878, thus rendering it almost certain that the corona at this period assumes a symmet rical form with regularly disposed fila ments curving away on either side of the sun's axis and broad equatorial wings of less discriminated structure. "All this is very different from what is seen during an eclipse when the ac tivity of the sun is in its height. At such times the corona has a rudely quadrila teral outline, with four wings projecting .from regions approximately 40 degs. nortli and south of the equator, and the whole is made up of curved branching and interlacing streamers extending to a much greater distance from the body of tho sun, and with the equatorial sheaves less symmetrically disposed. In regard to the extent of the corona, it is difficult to compare successive eclipses observed from different parts of the earth with very varying atmospheric condition. A small amount of haze will blot out much of the fainter detail. The presence or absence of some of these fainter features may merely signify the presence or ab sence of the con ion of their observa tion, but tho variation of type is a thing beyond question. We 6eem to have >i connection indicated between tho broad equatorial wings and the sun spot zones." —Pittsburg Dispatch. | LEADING BUSINESS HOUSES. OK PITTSBURbiI m _ALLKGUBNY CITY, PA.
