Prof. W. W. CamnbelL the Director
of the Lick Observatory. In summing
up the results of the observations and
photographs made by. the party sent
from that observatory to study the to
tal eclipse of the sun In Sumatra last
May. says that the general conclusion
to be drawn Is that the coronal struc
ture surrounding the sun Is made up or
matter, probably very finely divided,
ejected from the surface of the sun
with great velocities, just as we have
matter ejected, now and wen, worn
terrestrial volcanoes, with compara
tively small velocities.
Few persons have any conception ot
the tremendous degree of heat repre
sented In the sun, just as they are Ig-
nroant, as a rule, that it is nyarogeu
gas that, blazing in the sun, keeps tne
universe of life existent. An astron
omer has just given some interesting
details respecting the temperature of
the sun. He asserts that the mean tem
perature is about 6,200 degrees centi
gradeapproximately 11,200 degrees
Fahrenheit. Of such a degree or neat
one can form no adequate conception.
Of the total heat the earth receives, of
course, only a very small proportion.
The rest belongs to space and is shared
by other worlds than this.
Men sometimes dream of enormous
wealth stored in the earth, below the
reach of miners, but according to the
statements of Prof. C. R. Van HIse at
the Denver meeting of the American
Association for the Advancement ot
Science, there is little or no ground to
believe that valuable metallic deposits
lie very deep in thejearth's crust Such
deposits, he said, are made hy under
ground waters, and owing to the pres
sure on the rocks at great depths, the
waters are confined to a shell near the
surface. With few exceptions, ore de
posits become too lean to repay work

In September the hunters and trap

DOGS AS SCOUTS
Would Be Useful in Fighting- Native
. of Jungle Countries.
Captain Steele, of the Sixth Infan
try, after an experience of the condi
tions of warfare- in the Philippines,
strongly urges that dogs should be at
tached to the army. In the Army and
Navy Journal he expresses the opin
ion that dogs are the only scouts that
can secure a small detachment against
ambush on
the trails hrough these
tropical jungles.
The bush is so dense that flankers
are out of the question; and trails are
so crooked and over such rough ter
ritory that the point, at one or two
hundred yards, is out of sight of the
main party: The Insurgents, lying in
ambush usually, or often, let the point
pass and open With a volley upon the
wagons and main body of the escort.
They open from apparently
impene-
trable jungle,
thirty to two
ana at a range rrom
hundred yards. They
fire one or two volleys, then usually
run awav. Sometimes never a man
of them can be seen.
The dogs, pointers or hounds, would
need little training. Their instincts
for hunting and sniffling in every hole
and corner would be sufficient to jus
tify their use.
Captain Steele possesses a dog nam
ed Done, and asserts that up to the
date of writing no detachment with j
which it has been out has fallen into
an ambuscade.
"He went with us last winter on
General Schwan's long southern cam
paign," says Captain Steele, "andj
lived for more than a month on scraps
of hard bread and bacon. He covered
six times as much ground every day
as any man of the column, and is the
friend of every soldier in my battal
ion." Expoeing; a Fraud.
Dishonest holders of accident insur
