Thefollowing article: was Written for the Darty Transcript by James McDonald, who is serving out term in the County Jail fer obtaining goods under false pretétises : The astronomers] of these latter days take upon themselves the liberty to talk about planetary distamces and spaces with as much confir dence as the surveyor gives the dimension of a city lot, or. the metes and boundaries of a farm. In former days the astronomers said the sun was about 95,000,000 of miles from the earth ; but now the exact. distanee ig laid down. at 91,500,000 miles. This at least shows that the sun has been steadily approaching our planet, or that-mother-earth has been enjoying a a little tramp of 3,500,. -000-miles.inthe _diréction “of Old Sol’s residence. Still, the distance, asour Wiseaeres now foot it up, would be a long way to travel. If our Puritan ancestors had set out from the ‘sun, instead-of from Europe, on that eventful day which witnessed . their embarkation, and could have travelled a la Jules Verne,by an air line continuously at the rate of forty miles an hotr, which is a great deal faster than either Rarus, or Goldsmith Maid-can go, they would not Poor Jack OBrien is dead. He »ypassed in his checks at San Francisbe due-at Plymouth Rock till late in the year 1883, which would be too late by three years for them to take part inthe inauguration of G.-C. Perkins, hear Chas, De Young sentenced, or assistin the Te Deum at Metropolitan Temple i in the thanksgiving for the preservation of the life of Kalloch, saint and martyr. The astronomers tell us that gravity is so’ increased at the sun, (‘‘wouldwe believe it ?”) that bodies would. weigh-. ; twenty-eight times as much there as: here. What singular results that might occasion if the sun were in-’ habitable . For example, a sylphlike belle weighing, say, about one: pounds at the sun, Whata lift she would be for a lover seeking to resdue her from her, papa’s. burning be to her lover's feelings, should chance to sit.on his new Sunday hat! Then just consider. the avordupois of a man heavy onearth: —say athree-hundred pounder at the sun,' There he wowd weigh eight thousand four hundred: pounds. Imagine such a man falling from the Ahird-story window of the National Motel upon the heads of the unsuspecting loungers who freqnent the sidewalk, i in-front of that establishment. The voming down of a thousand. of brick .on earth would be nothing to the impact of such a creature on the sidewalk in. frent of. his sunny home. But the astronomers are unanimous in thebelief that the sun is without inhabitants Yand we agree with them, if ity be rue, as they say, that the: temperature’ of that orb is ten million degréés Fahrenheit. ->-.>-———— Cow Seirees, depotiof the Narrow Gauge railvoud lwompany of this-city.

Thefollowing article: was Written for the Darty Transcript by James McDonald, who is serving out term in the County Jail fer obtaining goods under false pretétises : The astronomers] of these latter days take upon themselves the liberty to talk about planetary distamces and spaces with as much confir dence as the surveyor gives the dimension of a city lot, or. the metes and boundaries of a farm. In former days the astronomers said the sun was about 95,000,000 of miles from the earth ; but now the exact. distanee ig laid down. at 91,500,000 miles. This at least shows that the sun has been steadily approaching our planet, or that-mother-earth has been enjoying a a little tramp of 3,500,. -000-miles.inthe _diréction “of Old Sol’s residence. Still, the distance, asour Wiseaeres now foot it up, would be a long way to travel. If our Puritan ancestors had set out from the ‘sun, instead-of from Europe, on that eventful day which witnessed . their embarkation, and could have travelled a la Jules Verne,by an air line continuously at the rate of forty miles an hotr, which is a great deal faster than either Rarus, or Goldsmith Maid-can go, they would not Poor Jack OBrien is dead. He »ypassed in his checks at San Francisbe due-at Plymouth Rock till late in the year 1883, which would be too late by three years for them to take part inthe inauguration of G.-C. Perkins, hear Chas, De Young sentenced, or assistin the Te Deum at Metropolitan Temple i in the thanksgiving for the preservation of the life of Kalloch, saint and martyr. The astronomers tell us that gravity is so’ increased at the sun, (‘‘wouldwe believe it ?”) that bodies would. weigh-. ;

twenty-eight times as much there as: here. What singular results that might occasion if the sun were in-’ habitable . For example, a sylphlike belle weighing, say, about one: pounds at the sun, Whata lift she would be for a lover seeking to resdue her from her, papa’s. burning be to her lover's feelings, should chance to sit.on his new Sunday hat! Then just consider. the avordupois of a man heavy onearth: —say athree-hundred pounder at the sun,' There he wowd weigh eight thousand four hundred: pounds. Imagine such a man falling from the Ahird-story window of the National Motel upon the heads of the unsuspecting loungers who freqnent the sidewalk, i in-front of that establishment. The voming down of a thousand. of brick .on earth would be nothing to the impact of such a creature on the sidewalk in. frent of. his sunny home. But the astronomers are unanimous in thebelief that the sun is without inhabitants Yand we agree with them, if ity be rue, as they say, that the: temperature’ of that orb is ten million degréés Fahrenheit. ->-.>-———— Cow Seirees, depotiof the Narrow Gauge railvoud lwompany of this-city.
