Interesting Facts About The
Sun.
The following Interesting tacts
we clip t'tiiin a recent lecture ili-liv-
I'U'il in New York bv Prof. Proctor,
Secretary of the Royal Astrouomi-
(.•il Society "I London.
DISTANCE AND SIZE OF THE SUN
In tin- lii.-st place let us consider
tin- distance and size of the sun.
which I need hardly nay are nearly
related. There is ;t comparison by
« hull we are enabled in indicate til
■MKi' the relation ol the sun lo us in
magnitude ami distance. If this
earth were represeuied by a globe
one inch in diameter, then the sun's
globe would be represented by an-
•nil three yards in diameter. If the
sun's glolie in turn were represented
by a globe one Inch in diameter
then the distance wonld l»' repre-aented
by three yarda; onr earth a
globe one inch in diameter, the sun
three yards; the situ a globe one
inch in ilhinieter, the distance three
yards. Now lei its consider what
iliat enormous distance means.—
An Armstrong gun tires a bullet at
the rate ol 400 yards per second. -A
bullet litcil al that rale, ami main-taining
it to the sun, would lake 13
years to gel there, ami the sound ol
the explosion would reach the sun
half a year later. In other words,
those liiings. those men who wor-shipped
t lie sun ami raised their
voices in prayer to him, if their
v.iii-i-s could have been heard ami
there was tin atmosphere, a medium
or intercommunication by which
• In-soiiml of ili.'ir voices could reach
him, 1-iA years would have been
needed befotc their prayers could
have reached their God. Il thete
were a steel rod connecting liie
earth with the sun. and the pole of
the earth were broughtintocommu-nication
with the son, 300 years
would elapse before the strain would
reach the earth. Another consider-ation-
aud this was suggested by
Prof Metidciibaff of your country,
ami by lloltnca and others—is this:
Feeling iaconveved along i he nerves
ten I inns slower than sound travels.
11 therefore an infant were born
having tin aim of I In* somewhat in-convenient
length i.i 91,000,000,000
ol miles, so as to reach I he sun :
and ii while in the cradle in boy-hood
he were lo stretch out his arm
and touch the sttn, iit.it infant mils'
grow to the three-score years at.d
ten allotted to man. or even to four-
Rcore, 1 .IIt be would never be con-scious
ul the lilt llt.it the tip of his
Hnger was burned j he should live
US., years before thai would be ex-pel
ienced.
THE SOURCE OF I.ItlllT AND HEAT.
Unr DOW let ns pass from the
question of Ihe sun's might to its
beat ami light. The .suit is the
source ot ail those forms ot light
titnl life which exist upon the earth.
That is no idle dream. Every form
of force upon the earth, every ac-tion
thai we perform, all the forms
ol lores we know of, even the mere
thoughts we think, may be said to!
come trom the sun. It is by the !
sun's heat that life is maintained j
upon the earth.
And now as to the quantity of
heat. Sir John Herschel in the
Sooth of Africa made experiments
to determine the actual quantity ol!
heat that is received fiom the sun.
The heat there was so great that at I
the depth of four inches below the
sand tlie thermometer rose to 160°. !
He was able to cook a steak by
placing it in a box covered with
(■lass, and that inside another box
with a glsss cover, and to boil eggs
hard, lie made experiments, and
ceive ! Even regarding for a mo-ment
the suu as a spotted disk,
.".ti.iHiii.iKMi ofsquare miles in extent,
even then how small is the quantity
of the sun's light and beat that this
earth actually captures. You have
only to consider bow small the suu
looks ill the heavens, and consider
how small our earth would look be-side
bin., with this small diameter
compared with his, of one inch to
three j arils and you can see how
small ti proportion of Ihe sun's beat
we capture. By acalculation which
can be readily made, it is found
that only the 260,000,000th pail, of
less than that proportion of the
sun's heat is captured by the earth;
and all the planets together receive
only one 227,000,000th part of the
sun's heat. There is another mys-tery
the study of astronomy pre-sents.
Only one part in 227,000,000
pans appears to be applied to any
useful purpose, and the rest seems
wasted. It is not for us to judge
of the operations of nature. Bui
there al any rate do we seem to tiud
a confirmation of the saying of the
Atheist that sounds so strange lo
us, that "Xatute in tilling a wine
i glass upsets a gallon." There is
1 the sun's beat being continually
sent forth,and only the 227,000,000th
pan received. Only imagine a
merchant who speut large sums ol
money, and who employed only one
cent usefully for every two million
dollars of his income And that is
what Ihe sun appears to be continu-ally
doing. The actual emission ol
solar light ami corresponds to what
would have been obtained if on
every square yard of the sun's sur-face
six lous of coal were consumed
every hour. In every seco'id the
sun gives old as much heat as would
be given out bj burning 11,«IO,000,-
000,000,000 of tons; ami ibis earth
on which we live, if its whole .sur-face
were glowing with ihe same
beat as the sun would giveoul in
every second the same ttuioir.it ol
beat that would hejjiven by burning
up 1,000,000,000,000 tons ol coal.—
One million million tons ol coal in
every second of time I a globe "nly
as large as our earth; while the
sun, the greal centre ol our system,
gives out eveiy second an amount
i.i beat tb.it would be gi.en out by
burning ll.(»00,IMW,IMH),000,000 of
tons oi coal, or abmil eight times
the who!.'supply of coal supposed
to exist in tlm earth. In even
second the sun gives out the whole
supply of that coal which we look
at as it exhaustible, but which we
are consuming at such a rate I hat
in ."..noil oi 1,000 years brme there
cau In-bin iiule doubt Ihe coal will
be exhausted upon the earth.—

Comfort for Poor Editors
It is a comfort to know that the
11 great papers"9 once had their day
of small things Here is what a
writer in a New York paper says:
According to his statement, the
Trilivnr was begun in 1841, willl
one thousand dollars, borrowed
money, and its profits in 1850
amounted to sixty thousand, and in
1870 to one hundred and sixty thou
sand dollars annually. The first
office of the Ilnnlii.was in a cellar,
where its morality was as low as its
surroundings. It now yields a yearly
income ol two hundred thousand
dollars. The rime* lost, at the
start, otii- hundred lliousnud dollars,
and now n is valued at one million,
including its real estate. The J?n n
iim /'"«/. niter many finetuiltioi.s. is
now worth one bundled and fifty
thousand a year, the Krpren* thirty
thousand, and the Journal of Can-im
in seventy limits ml.
Mrs. Henry Wood, who has writ-ten
some oi the best novels ot Ihe
day. puts in the mouth of the in to
of one of her stories the following
admirable sentiments—sentiments
which il would lie well lor all lo act
out in 11,cir daily lives:
I'd rather do a man a good turn
than a bad one, be be friend ot
enemy, That is the only way to
»et oil pleasantly in this lib?. It all
comes home to us. 11 we sow dowers
we are lepnid by the pi-iluinc; il
we plant nettles they will spring np
ami sting us. 1 don't believe n man
ever did the smallest kindness but
il was in some way returned to him.
1 fee! sure thai for every injury a
man or woman indicts on Others a
worse evil is returned.
Excellent sentiments these with
which to begin the new year upon
which we have entered.
A Democratio King.
When iu Stockholm I bad a desire
to see the King, so I wrote to the
Secretary of Slate. 1 was politely
informed that his Majesty had gone
visiting, but would return in two
days. When he arrived I was in-vited
to call on him at 12 o'clock
that day. I went to the palace ex-pecting
to see soldiers—infantry,
cavalrymen, and aitillery men—but
there was only oue soldier, and ho
did not even ask me where I was
going or what I wanted. 1 went

000 have been sent ilir
Assistant Treasurer in New York,
which would make the entire re-ceipts
from N. 0. in the last nine
months over 93.600. There were
eight other Auxiliaries which the
District Superintendent was uiiex
pectedly prevented from visiting,
who would probably have paid sev-eral
hmid i ni dollars, thus swelling
ihe receipts of the past nine months
to nearly 94,000.
The following Auxiliaries have
supplied their respective territories
in whole or iii part : Alexander,
Bertie, Buncombe, Cabarms, Cra-ven,
Carteret, Chapel Hill. Caldwell,
Davidson, Durham. Cites, (ir.in
v'ille,IIeii'Ieisoit (GranvilleCO.) Hen
derson co.,Hyde, JonesUoro, Lemur,
McDowell, Mebanesville, liowau,
Salem Bible Assoeiaiion, Titz.i,
Wake, Wilkes and Wentwoitb.—
Owing, however, to the failure of
many ot Ihe auxiliaries to keep
proper records, it has been found
impracticable to ascertain the a-mount
ol work wbien has been ae
complisbed. As far as returns have
been received, they show a great
amount of destitution. lnCabairtis
county one fifth of all life tamilius
visited were found destitute. This
Society has supplied every family
in its territory. In Caldwell coun-ty,
a canvass of one halt the terri-tory,
embracing about seven bun-dled
families showed thai two hun-dred
and liny were destitute. These
were supplied. In two townships
in Alexander, out of three hundred
families visited, one bundled and
twenty-seven bad no Bibles: a few
bad Testaments Iu some counties,
as in Cabanas, the destitution has
been found to lie one fifth in sum'
one-third, and in a few. nearly one-hall
of the families.
The destitution, however i-t ili
minishing, through the efforts ol
some of the Auxiliaries. Then-must,
however, be moreeai neatness,
activity and perseverance, employ ed
by Christians of all denominations
throughout the State, if this fearful
destitution is removed, and the ig-norance,
degradation and vice, con-sequent
upon It. If sill the Auxilia-ries
would display the eeal and lib-erality
"I the Tins Bible Society,
this ronstitualion so it'iuh to lie de-sired
by all good men, would soon
IM realized. This Society etnbra
ring a portion of Union County, N.
0., and Laiieester county, 8. C has
not only supplied every l.tmily in
its territory, but it lias sent up lib-eral
donations to the Parent Society.
It has on its roll thirty seven life
members and between 60 and 7i>
annual members. Is not this "the
banner Society" of the State! Let
all the auxiliaries emnlate this ex-ample,
and Christian men through

When arising to address the Sen-ate
upon the salary swindle on Fri-day

by way ol apology, commenced by
saying that a friend bad asked bitu

Cod forgets me." Mr. Howe then
went on to tell the Senate that be

Nay. more : it seemed as if God had

Senator Ho*'e is mistaken, nis
speech reminds us of an anecdute
of Lord Thurlow and John Wilkes.
When George III. first became
insane it was proposed to have u
regency and make the Prince of
Wales sole regent. This would cer-tainly
cause a Change of Ministry,
and Thurlow, who was then the
Tory Lord Chancellor, would lose
his office unless be could curry fa
vor with the Prince, who was a very
decided Whig. So lor three or four
nights Lord Thurlow warmly ml
vacated the regency bill. The de-bate
then went over for a week.

A sponge goes behind the coun-ter

that he wants a sample, and tho
grocery man says, "That's all

A customer returnsa pair of shoes,
soiled and injured after a half day's
wear, grunting,"they are too small,"
and the merchant says, " That's all
right."
A church member puts dowp his
name tor tweuty-five dollars to pay
the preacher, and when called on
only gives ten dollars, with the re-mark
that " times are too hard,"
and the parson says, " that's all
right."
A loafer makes a regular practice
of coming into a printing office and

that " he wants to read it;" and

An extravagant debtor tells a

We would not do the United

to us we may have done so in neg-lecting

mouths, was oue modest entry

promises of retrenchment and re-next

bill was resumed in the Peers, a
large number of Commoners going
over to listen to it. and among them
the witty, satirical Wilkes. To the
