K. I0KHLEB, Asst. O. F. - P. Ag't Manager, rortl ana XEKri'RV. a. a. tuTciiai.i. It Is often remarked that the inot Intereatlng iktsou of a luiully, and generally the most btstuUful, a well u tf ntrki. is the buby. So In our study of aJtroDomy we shall find, by ulu observation, that the mme principals hold good. I hope that reader of your valuuble paper will kindly accept and consider carefully the theories that I am attemptlag to explain. It Is true astronomy has, from time Immemorial, carried with It theories which have been Bpeoulat Ive in their nature and churacter. The theories that I desire to present are principles in mechanics with which the reader may be familiar and the claims I ttdvocate can be sus tained only" by Ihe merits which they pOejSeSM. I am well aware that tho apparent movement of the satellite of the two farthest planets, also those of some of tho comets, limy lie referred to as ex ceptions, but as there are evidently forces In operation at those remote distances, the same a;between those bodies aud the rtun. In my humble opinion, in this electrical age of scientific research, with the advant ages presently being obtained, that ere. long natural forces will be found to be operating upon them In a mechanical method. Mercury Is the nearest known planetary body to the Sun. This lieautiful planet will appear as morn ing star alxiut the 2oth Instant. You will readily distinguish it by the fiery-red, or cometlcal, fl re-eye a a m r apjiearance. In sjieaking oi .Mercury I shall use the neuter .pronoun be cause Mercury Is a mere child In the planetary world. Its diameter Is about three thousand miles, ana it travels once around the Sun, from west to east, In about eighty-eight days. It rotates on Its axis from west to east, giving Its people twen ty-four hours and five minutes to each day, or day and night. Its orbital velocity Is about 171)0 miles per minute and travels at an average distance of 3.),0()0,()00 miles from the Sun and in an orbit which Is more elliptical than any of the orbits of the principal planet, its least dis tance being about 2S,150,00 miles, while Its greatest distance from the Sun Is alstut 40,000,000 miles. Its orbit is inclined alxmt seven degrees to the ecliptic, being more than twice the amount of the inclination of the orbits of any of the rest of the prin cipal planets. When In perihelion or nearest approach to the Sun, it Is much nearer to the Sun than it Is natural for it to remain, for the centrifugal repelling forco of the Sun at Mercury's perihelion distance con siderably exceeds the attraction or centripetal force of the Sun for the planet, and thus it is gradually borne farther away from the Sun while moving along its orbit, while at the same time, the momentum which it received when it was ap proaching, and when in and near its perihelion, now aids the Sun's force in carrying it to iu aphelion, or to the farthest part of Its orbit from the Sun, at w hich distance it is be yond its mean place and where the attractive force of the Sun for the planet exceeds the repelling force of tho Sun. After It leovea perihelion it gradu ally loses its speed and momentum until it arrives at aphelion. When traveling from aphelion to perihelion it Is gradually drown a little nearer the Sun by the excess of the Sun's rerdripetal over his centrifugal force, thus gaining speed and momentum in proportion until it arrives at IU perihelion again. The momentum acquired since leaving its aphelion carries it nearer the Sun again than its mean place, and so it Is thrown off as before and always in an ellip tical orbit. In "Cometie; Relutions" I took the Sun as a chaotic, cometary, massive bulk, and regarding Mercury and other wanderers of our system In the same natural position I proceed to give the steps of development of the members of this grand system. Mercury, the Earth, and all the planets may be as old as the Sun, but they have not developed as fast, therefore he gradually became mas ter, and now holds supreme control. At one time the Sun, no doubt, was a little nebulous bulk, or cloud, In etherlal space wandering hither and thither or governed by fixed laws. From such a state he gradu ally developed by drawing nebulous, chaotic matter to himself until he arrived at the state of perfection descrilied In my last article. Does one planet affect the move ments of another? Most certainly it does. Mercury the messenger of the deity, Is represented In ancient mythology as one of the horses or draughters of the universe. When Milton had grown to man hood, he took a tour over a large portion of the continent of Europe. In his travels he met and conversed with many of the sagea and philoso phers. One of the great beacon lights ho bad the plwisur of eLo was none other than (ialili-o, the astronomer whne fume -pnnd all over Europe. With this great character he coiiimo'i'Hl, nfelvin from bliu a grand store of philo-o-phy. Next we find the gr-at juiet In the city of Ixjiulon his quiet homo. Ia a lew years a p-ui Lrewthes out from its environs, und soon its praises enooiupas the glols. As au astronomical and scriptural poem "Paradise 1-or.t" has no equal. Iu this poem Miiton no doubt takes the advantage of (Julileo's philosophy. He sneaks of the angels good and bad flying on und on through the medium of Interstellar space, he represents his angels as busing Wings with which they projiel them selves through that immense space bttween . Heaven and Hell, and between the Sun and the Kurth. Oould it be possible fur anything to tly and use wings if there is no re rl, ting medium '.' So also we read In the Hook of hooks of material Is-ings ascending, being borne away on angels' wings. The religion of all peoples and nations teach that there U a medium is-rvading Interstellar space through which winged angels may fly. So I maintain there is a resisting medium Intervening inter stellar space, which is pervaded by a mightier und more suttle power than the electrical currents that encircle this glols;. The dissuvery of this suttle power would lead to a direct communication with all the planets ; giving us a kuowlodge of how they are peopled and of their interest and pi:rjort. Drjlng F.uit. Space is filled by many of the hor ticultural publications, with matter pertaining to fruit drying. A lively dlscushion Is now on relative to dip ping prunes in lye. Some successful or:hardists do not dip and some do. Ono writer, A. H. Carter, says that dipping cleans the prune from the hi nun which acts only as a covering tOj thn prune and protects It from sit i-?cald and atmospheric damage while growing. Then, too, the lye cb'H'ks the skin of the prune so that ev ip mitlon is more rapid, fur with- ot the checking of the skin the prSinc will not evaporate until lieut o'"n it, and bent usually in opening th' iiruno causes a loss of iiectine. TfA.' rgain where there is acid in t!-r'' ? the prune, lye destroys the ucid nnd makes the prune sweet er a. id the skin more tender. Mr. W. C. Anderson, of San Jose, says that ail dryers have found the pro cess of dipping in hot lye of great advantage in most cases while in others it is apparently of little use. Hestotes that the skin of the prune Is covered with a substance of an oily nature which is removed by the lye. Unless this is removed It Is very difficult to dry them. He throws out tho warning not to allow the prunes to remain in the hot lye too long, and questions whether it is necessary to leave them in the lye long enough to check the skins. F. M. Righter lays down the usual rule of leaving them in the boiling lye until the skin shows many zigzag, hair-like, "cuts" or checks. He states that there are several kinds of dipping machines in use. Some of these are run by steam in such a way as to suve the greater part of the labor of handling the fruit. H. Aiken does not dip his prunes, but Instead runs them through a machine which perforates the prunes with needles." From which reports it seems that the success of dipping depends upon how it is done, (.'old lye probably doesn't assist much, and a long exposure in hot lye cooks the batch. Skillful manipulation is necessary. It lias tost a Billion. The New York Sun, the great Democratic journal, comes out squarely in a recent Issue ami sums matters up as follows : "The Cleveland administration has taken a billion dollars from the pockets of the people iu four months. It ha diminished the wealth of the nation by an amount nearly equal to the entire sum of money in circula tion in the United States today. It has cost the people of the United States three times ns much as the colossal swindle of the Panama canal, which shook France from center to circumference, cost the French people. It has biken enough money from the people to build the Nicaraugua canal ten times over. These are appalling figures. Hut they show tho truth. They demand the earnst consideration of every American citizen on this anniversary of the nation's birth. ISIuster and prevaricate as they may, the mouth pieces of Democracy cannot obwure this tremendous fact. In four mouths llemocrntie rule has robbed the American pi-ople of l,non,non,. 000." Mr. Democrat, how do you like this kind of talk coming from this great newspajcr? Nobody ever before saw so many good men running away from a big nomination as can lie w-en in Ohio now dodging the Democratic Guber natorial oaodi'lucy. AMERICAN .ons OTHER t'Ol'MKIES. The lhe-tnii Journal of Commerce laments that American textile fabrics are not finding a resting place on the shelves of foreign merchants. The reason assigned why more liberal sales ure not inude to foreigners is the fact that we have not yet been able to supply tlio borne demand. That Journal rejoices though that our iron industries are sending products abroad, which successfully conqs-te with products of tho-' foreign fac tories. On that subject the joliriiul thus discourses : "Though our manufacturers of iron do not occupy so conspicuous a place in our list of exports us do our breadstuff, they do not, however, figure insignificantly there. They are always in fuvor and siiecial'y so licited wherever they are once intro duced. In lirail the American lo comotive and railway carriage are almost exclusively employed. In iny l-y ninety-six of our locomotives were sent to that country, valued at $97t!,ooo. In the same year Cuba took liny-one of our locomotives, and England even bad some consid eration for them. At the annual agricultural show held this year at Southampton, England, there were specimens of reapers and self-binders from three countries America F.ng luml aud Canada all priced at the same value. According to unbiased testimony the American machine was lighter, simpler und more con venient than any of the others, and the draft easier. The American horse rakes were neater, lighter, and 5 tier cent, cheaper than the Eng lish makes. The Knglish machines are strong, lint frequently needlessly so, and neatness and tine workman ship do not seem to he studied. Iast year F.ngland took from us agricul tural implements of these kinds to the value of tMiL'.j.nno. ( icrmuny aud France ulso favored our machines to the extent of i:!i)(l,(100 and I."iO,OUO respectively. In speaking of the American plow one of our consuls in F.ngland refers to it us 'very much superior to any other kind, particu larly as a digging machine, lieing lighter, and the shears aud points more durable. The Knglish makers, he says, 'cannot properly chill points and other parts, their process render ing the metal very brittle, while the American process mnkes the iron tough and nt the same time very hard. It Is also susceptible of a high polish, which is another advantage. In certain localities wooden-beamed plows cannot be disposed of at any price. If our manufacturers would adopt the stylo of iron-beamed plows the trade would be extended.' The (tcrman policy is to keep out of that country all the American machines possible, and the sumo jnilicy is op erative against all cither nationalities, its object lieing to hold the home de mand for domestic manufacturer). Such articles as cariiet sweepers, freezers, wringers, meat choppers, etc., which were formerly largely linportisl Into (ierinnny from the United States, have been replaced by those of German make. American agricultural Implements are ulso giv ing way to those of German manu facture. The American lawn mower however, nppinrs lo remain in good favor in spite of obstacles. The American tools and machines are admittedly sujs-rior in all essential points to those made in Germany, and were it not for German customs laws and classification would lie much more largely used." Japanese Industries. To what extent Japanese indus tries are carried is summarized in this paragraph taktu from a report of the French minister to his gov ernment and VeporUsl in tho ofilicial monitor of Commons'. For twenty five years, he says, the government of tho Mikado has spared no efforts fu developing national industry, and in rendering Japan in every respect free from its present tributary nia tions with foreign countries. "It may be said that there is no branch of industry which the Japanese have not tried to establish for themselves. Without doubt some errors have l,ecn committed and subventions sunk in pure loss, but it cannot lie denied, for the facts sis-ak for them selves, that industry has made very remarkable progn-ss during the last twenty years. Silk and cotton goods, made-up clothing, hosiery, bats, umbrellas, shis-s, leather goods, glassware, soup of all kinds, perfum- II J , III 11-., IIII"I-, paper called' Furopmu'.iion-eluin and fine earthenware, preserved foods, horological articles and scientific instruments, electrical and steam machinery, carriages, furniture, cigarettes in fact ail artich-s usually consumed in Furojs1 are today made in Japan. Kadi year wit nesses tho birth of a new Industry, the aptitude of the workers and their low wages contributing to the pn jierity of these enterprises. Some of the industries, e-qsrially those of pajs?r, matches, and textiles, extend day by day. Without pretense, at the finish given to foreign articles, the Japanese producer, responding as far as this is concerned to the desln' of the consumer, eudeavors aud suo ceisls In producing cheaply articles attractive to buyers." The Closure Kale la the Senate. Tho impression generally prevails that a bill to reHstl the Sherman law cun Isj carried in the House without any trouble, but that It will l reso lutely antagonized iu the Senate, w here the silver sentiment is rela tively more jxitent and nbstinaU it is believed that in the end the rciM-al w ill bo accomplished, but the facilities for delaying it are such that it Is not likely to come forsev oral months. Prsldent Cleveland favors the adoption of the closure rule in the Senate to prevent this anticipated delay, and forts curly action UKin the subject. There is no reasonable, objection to lie made to this plan of hastening the solution of a most important problem. I he closure rule implies nothing more than the prevention of filibustering by the minority against a measure which the majority is desirous to pass. It does not involve the id"a of stifling debute, but of stopping it after reasonable time has boon given to it, and causing the question to be put to a final vote. There is nothing arbitrary about it except in the sense of compelling the few to re spect the wishc of the many after proper opportunity has been granted lor both sides lo present their arguments. It is not likely, however, that the Senate will consent to adopt such a rule. The members of that body nave uniformly set their faces against all propositions for the limitation of debate on any account or in any emergency. Precedent gives to each senator the privilege of talking in definitely whenever he Is so dixistsl, regardless of the motive or effect of his long-wlndedness. On several notable occasions, the passage of important bills has thus been de layed for weeks, anil in some ill stand's entirely prevented. The probability Is that those, who are In favor of the repeal of the Sherman act would not vote for a closure rule to hasten the result, or to even avert deleat. This signifies that the sena tors from the silver states, repre senting; only a fraction of the popu lation and wealth of the country, and standing iu opposition to the sentiment of a large majority of the American people upon a subjis-t of vital interest, will lie able to block the wheels of legislation at their pleasure, and make it impossible for the majority to perform its duty und carry out its purposes without a long and exHsficruting contest. It is diffi cult to reconcile this fuct with the idea that wo art living under a Republican form of government, and that majority is tho supreme prin ciple of our political philosophy ; but such Is the situation, nevertheless, and we have to make the most of it. The Senate is a law unto itself in the matter, and exicriciicc has demonstrated that it cannot be expected to repudiate or modify the precedent which gives tho minority a chance to obstruct the course of public business and delay the enact ment of laws for the conservation and promotion of the best interests of the country. Ololio-Democrat. The South Carolina Whisky Troubles. After a cessation of two weeks tho whisky war broke out here afresh today, reports a Charleston (S. C) news-gatherer on August 1st. One of the state's spies seized a barrel of corn whisky which had been lying at the South Carolina Railroad depot for six or eight weeks. It was marked "Diamond II," but had no further consignee on the head. It camo from Statesville. N. C. The constable did not appear to know what to do with It, so he took it to the county jail and hxlged It there. This proceeding w ill probably bring the Evans law up in the Federal courts, where the anti-dispensers are anxious to take It. The South Caro lina railway is in the hands of a re ceiver, and it is more than probable some lively legal proceedings will follow today's seizures. Ijtst Tuesday tho United States Mint in San Francisco, paid over its counter II.DfiO.OOO In gold ccln which had leen deposited for minting, al though the Mint had been cIoms! from June 22d to August 1st. This sum re;.resentsl the refined metal from tho ore sent to this city from the gold mines of the coast during a little over a month. The monthly average is aliout l,2."i0,0OO, which would go to show that mining in California is by no means a lost art. If hydraulic mining be restored the output of gold in California will Is at least doubled. When the money of a country is above suspicion, one dollar will do the work of ten of actual coin. No matter whether tho money of a coun try lie gold, silver or pajier, it must never fluctuate in value. What we need today is not moro money, but butter monoy. A COS IK AST. Tho congressional reprwtentlvea of tho two political parties ouch held its caucus for nomination of officers for the house of representatives, on Saturday evening lat. Crisp was nominated by the IV'iuoerats, aud in res o use said : "Au extraordinary condition of affairs throughout the country ba.s necessitated our uniting iu extra ordinary session. Iu so far as that condition is attributed to existing law, we are iu nowise rcsiMjiisible then-for. Now for the first time in more than ;(o years, we are iu full power. We can reieul bad law s and we can make good oues. The lasjplo have entrusted us with that jsiwer undexeetus to exercise it for their behalf. Our financial system should be n-visisl and reformed j strict econ omy in public exK'nditures should be observed, and taxation should lie equalized and greatly reduced. To these purposes ure wo thoniughly committed. We must redeem our pledges. A't us Is-gin Work at once. Ix-t us lay aside every other consid eration than the public good, und endeavor to so discharge the dutitn assigned us as lo restore confidence, promote pro-qicrity and advance the general welfare of all classes of our people. 1 am sincerely grateful for your oontiaentv ami esteem. 1 plislge myself to devote myself to the discharge ot the duties of the res ponsible position you have assigned me, with all the energy and ability I pO.iSISlS." The Republicans nominated Tom Reed by acclamation, aud after pro longed applause he resttonded iu one of his characteristic speeches, his sar castic drawl having lost none of its pungency during the summer recess. Four months ago, lie said, they had left congress und returned to their homes with the country in a pnis porous condition. All mills were running, the spindles playing, the furnuoos roaring, labor employixl everywhere, and tho js-oplo happy. lb; continued : "Now we are culled buck to flud an extraordinary business depression, a distrust in all circles and a gonoral demoralization of the finances of the country, a condition, of course, pre cipitated by tho iH'mocrutlc failure to legislate. In this emergency the lmocrt cull upon the Republicans to lay aside all partlsauolilp, isngot anything that has boon uVseo In that past, and join with tlw Ismh4vi to get them out of tM fmrttmi trouble." Crisp seems to realise Mat tho rs- ponsibility resting on the uatjtarity Is a iiurucn. lie is anxiooa for the future, lio doubtless lias reasons to tie knowing the tcnier of his party us he does. Stewart's Silver Mil. Senator Stewart has prepurcd a bill providing for tho free coinage of silver which he will introduce at the earliest opportunity. The first sec tion reads: "lie it enacted, etc., that tho 11th sis'tion of tho act of January IS, 1873, be, und the same is, hereby re-enact ed, which feuds as follows: "That gold and silver bullion brought to the mint lor coinage shall lie received and coined by the proor officers for the benefit of depositors; provided that it shall lie lawful to refuse at the mint any deposit of less value than loo and any bullion so base as to lie unsuitable for operations of the mint, and provided also that when gold and silver are combined, if either of these metals be iu such small proportion that it cannot lie saparated advanUigeously, no allow ance shall ls made to dciimitor for tho value of the metal." The second section repeals tho silver-purchase clause of the Sherman Ww of I silo. Hah and .Nevada bold Strikes. The depression In tho silver mar ket has given a ihsided stimulus to gold mining in Utah and Nevada. Tho new gold camp at Ivy, In Grass Valley, Nevada, has Just been ex plored, and Information nsvived to day from Frisco, Utah, the nearest telegraph station, states that Wm. Anderson and W. D. Currier, old Colorado prosjsrtors, who opened up the camp at a depth of 10 feet, dis covered an immense Issly of mineral that assays l r, in gold and 2rt0 ounces In silver. A numlx-r of other equally good pro-jsi ts are being de veloped at Ivy. News today from tho Henry Mountain gold district is to the effect that rich strikes in a dozen new prosTts have lioen made and stamp mills are kept busy crush ing ores night and day. This camp Is practically unexplored and exper ienced mining men are confi dent that the Henry Mountains will lie the coming gold district of the) Wt. The alarmists, assertions that "over 10 national banks have failed this year" are knoeked out by the state ment of Comptroller Eckels, which puts the numlier at 105. And tho greater part of thewe are merely suspeuslona anil not failures.
