A New York report of yesterday's date
says: A little group of Cbinameu stood
Around an open coffin in the establishment
of Undertaker James Naughton, a&No.- 40

at.the features tif its tenant, Wong Tung,
a young Mongolian, who died 'of consump-

one of the recent arrivals from California,
yet'the members of the little Chinese col-

posited in the coffiri. One of the party
took a wooden comb and, holding' it over
the coffin, broke itin twO, letting the pieces
fall upon thelody. At the same time he
hurriedly uttered a Chinese prayer and
turned -his back to the corpse, as though
frightened at , what he had done: A
pack of cards aiseds in the .Chinese -
game of "hi ki 't was placed upon
the -shoulder'of the dead Man and
the highest card in the pack was drawn out
and thrown npon his breast ---a signal of
triumph. One of the spectatore, [suggested,
-that the card wile a delicate , eynabol of the

As the Min was going down amid crimson

Oen of the most interesting computations
which have engaged the attention of
nientists is that relating to the amount of
force imparted to the earth by the sun's heat.
According to aonae of the French inventiga
tions, there is received in One minute
enough -heat to raige the temperature of
five arida half ouhic miles of water...one
Csgree centigrade. Comparing this with
the work done by.a given amount of heat,
as utilized in a steam engine, it would
appear that the heat lent to the earth in
the sun's rays during the [space of one
minute is equal to the acoomplishmeat of
tUs ratesh work as would be done by 2,000
etc= engines of 100 -horse power each,
working continuously for the space of -
4,000 yeara. By far the larger part of this
heat force, of course, expends itself-eupon
the earth' in actual work, only a small' per.
tion of it. being radiated into space.
Necessarily, the result thus ancomplished
--such as the maintenance of the tempera-
ture of the earth, ocean and atmoaphere,
the Stimulating of animal and Vegetable
life, etc. -must be the equivalent of the
power retained by our globe; but a -vast
