Vhcn a pliip is under way, there is no woman aboard her. SI10 has noplace there. May be each man carries an image of one in his thoughts during his watches on deck. Of these tilings ho does not ppenk, But once each week he comes .. forth boldly with his fellows and rever ently sends greeting from across the sea.-; to her. From the Chum sea, from stormy Capo Horn, from the peaceful Mediter ranean comes tho message, "Sweethearts and wives!" That was ever and always will be tho sailor's toast. And when it is given aboard Uncle Sam's ships it is a tribute to the sweetness, the purity, the beauty of American woman hood, There are men who have drunk that toast every Suturday night for more than 40 years. It is never old to them. Tho officers would as soon tliink of pass ing nnuoticed an important disciplinary regulation as passing Saturday night without this ceremony. It does pot mat ter whether the ship is on the high seas, or anchored in a foreign port, or lying at the dock in tho Brooklyn navy yard, ao long as her men are aboard they drink tho toast. It is a custom as old as the navy. It will endure as long as the navy endures. ' When tho Bupply of wine is running short during a long cruise, the officers deny themselves during the week that they may have it for this toast on Matur' day nights, Tho servauts are well trained. They have the chumpagne nicely chilled and open it almost Without orders. After tho dinner is finished the executive offi cer arises. Very likely there is gray in his hair. His face is reddened by weath er and seamed by years, for men who reach position cannot be young. But his heart is still young. They have dined well, and the content of well filled stom achs shines on their faces. But when the lieuteuan t commander rises the' are still. Bo stands straight with his hand up raised, tne onampagne ouoniing tleu ciously. "Oeutloineu.ureyourglassescharged?" There is not ono which is empty. The officers rise and bow their heads in an swer. "I give you" (the lieutenant compand or speaks earnestly, and there is a soft glimmer in his eyes) "I give you sweot heurts and wives. Uod bless them!" "Sweethearts and wives tiod bless them!" comes in chorus from the officers. Then they drink, and if there runs down . their spinal cords a little thrill, and if their eyes grow moist and their hands shake a bit it is a tribute to themselves and to American womanhood to whom this toast is drunk. With somothing in their breasts throbbing Jike the great en gines, and the Bwinh and gurgle of the waters dulling their ears, there is con jured before them, like the azure nim bus of a dream, a home with a soft vouied woman and the prattle of a child, or a slender, girlish figure bending her heud to bide the love light in her eyes. On Saturday night the officer at sea feels that he is very near home. Every one knows that naval officers ATA fullimia f,1 tlia aHraollnna varl.lU , they have for the fair. This may show that It isn't the uniform alone which is the magnet Mew York World.

Lot ns see if wo hnvo the nowwnry data for ascertaining what this solar ma terial must bo. Wo are first confronted with tho fundamental question as to whether it is likely to bo composed of elements found on f ho earth. Thero wan a timo no doubt when it might havo been urged that in nil probability tho Jolar elements wero so far different from anybodies known to terrestrial chemists that tho solar clouds must lie constituted of something altogether Is yond our cog nizance. But this view cannot bo sus tained in tho present stato of science. Nothing is more remarkable in tlio ro ront advanco of knowledge than tho Hear demonstration of tho fundamental unity between tho elements present ill the celestial bodies and thoso element of which th" earth is composed. It is 110 doubt trno that wo havo found grounds for believing that thero limy bo ono or two elements in tliof.nn which wo do not find here. . Wo havo indeed as-signed to tbeso dimly discerned elements tho hypothet ical names of coronium nud helium. But even if such bodies exist at all they are certainly wanting in tlio erfcntinl qualities that must ls attributed to any element which purports to be tho nctivo component of tho photospherlo clouds. There cannot lie a reasonablo doubt that tho sun is mainly composed of elements both woll known and abundant on tho earth. It is clearly among thoso known bodies that it is our duty to search for tho characteristic photospherlo material. As tho terrestrial clouds consist of water they aro derived not from a Him plo element, but from n composite body firrmed of the gases oxygen and hydro gen. The multitude of composite bodies is, of course, innumerable, and the task of searching for the solar constituents would therefore seem to bo nil endless ono, unless wo wore in mmio way en abled to restrict tho field of inquiry. This ifl,jrKt v. hat tho vint temperature of the sun jiyrinit.-; ns t da It is well known that at a heat resembling that at which tho photosphere is maintained chemical compounds cannot in general exist. Ordinary chemical compounds ex posed to temperatures of such elevation are instantly resolved into their elemen tary components. It is thus manifest that in the endeavor to find tho photo sphorio material we havo not to scan tho illimitable fiold of chomicnl compounds. Wo have only to consider tho several elomentary bodies themselves. Thus at once tho research is narrowed to a choice Among sorae'64 different ma terials, this boing alwut the nnmlier of tho different elementary bodies. Most of them havo already been actually de tected in tho sun, and it is very likely that tho othorstlo really exist there also in some part or other of tho sun's mighty volnma Sir Robert Litl in Fortnight ly Review.
