whet cannot fail to be a wide] work, anti en-
titled "The Engliele Oitieen," Ito aim will
be to define the actual condition and imolai
arraugernents which constitute the relations
of the eitizene to the State. The work will
be comprised in a, series of small books.
One of the most interesting work e of the
day is the " Court and Selene of Old Paris,"
by Lady jackson, aud reprinted in New York.
The pictures of French life Are drawn from
the etirring times of the seventh century. It
is consequently a eompiletion, but exhibits a
vast deal of literary ekill on the part of the
fair author, and is regarded. (le a complete
moving panorama of the court epoxies of Pada
from the time of Elenry IV. to the death of
Louis XIV. TM) Work is one that is likely to
be well received.
The wonderful change it theclimate of thie
country has been e subject of much discus-

,Ancomplitah.,
ADablin correspondent of the New York
erahi senfiErthe following ; Whatever may
be the general opiniou of the world regarding
the methods of the Land League, 4t must he
recognized that the organization is now a re-
markebly, strong one. When Mr. Parnell was
America lest winter there were only thirty
branches of the League in Ireland end they
were very weak. There are now fully five
hundred, and in each abolltwo hundred pay-
ing members are enrolled, reeking altogether
one hundred thousand paying recruits under
its flag, Of mum theneare as Many more
who cannot pay. These, with capital on hand
and the money v;hich still comes in .from
America, enable the organizersto "pread the
light" iu every direction and to keep it bright
and welltrimmed. The organizere who form.
the branchee, enroll niembers and instruct
the farmers in the methods of the League
are paid by the centre, organization, as are
a Majority of the apeakere who go into the
country to the meetings, It would be a mistake
to suppose that attendants° at these meetings
is at tellpleepent work. 'Railway traveling is
more disagredahle in Ireland than in almost
aey part of Europe, and the inns are gener-
ally of the vilest 'character. . A few Weeks Of

the face of .their inerabership cards are the
mottoes, "Ireland for tho Irish," "Down with

briefly set forth; and for those who deeire to

TH4 BUN'S HEAT.

FloW long has it lasted,? How long will it

From it present orbit, by which it appears
thAt Jupiter would maintain the sun's pres-
ent expenditnre of onergy for 82,254 years,
and Mercury for eix yeare and 919 daye and
that the colapse of all the planets upon the
sun would generate sufficient heat to main-
tain its supply for nearly 46,000 years; awl
after estimating that matter equal to only
about ono one-hundredth part of the 'Pees of

Prof, Yetnag thinks imprebable, from astron-
ieal reasons, that any each quantity of Matter
can be supposed to reach the ann. So large
a quantity of matter would, necessitate a
vastly greater quantity circulating around the
sun, between it and the planet Mercury. But
if there were near the slut meteoric matter
equaling, for example, the mass of the earth,
it ought to produce an observable effect on
the modem, of Mei:eery sada° such effect has
yet' been made. Astrottonaers, thetefere,
failing to find it full explanation of the cause
of eolar energy in this hypothesie, nave
adopted a secon# one, which is that

drawn that if this theory be correct there
Dna come a time"whon there will bo no Solar
liceit,:as there has also been a time when it
began. How far forward is the end, how far
backward the beginning? Nowcoinb is
authority for the statement that withits pres-
ent radiatien the sun will shrink to half its
present diameter in about '510001000 Years.
Reduced to thiEi size, and eight tinres as dense
as now'will cease to be mainly gaseous,
and its temperature would begin to hill.
Hence Newcomb, assigns as the term during
which 'the sun can supply heat enough to
:support life en the earth as we know life, a
period of 10,000,000 years. The writer some-
what more confidently casts his eye backward,
and concludes that the sun cannot havo. been
emitting heat at the present rate for nun°
than 18;000,000 years, if its heat had been
generated in the manner described. The pos-
sibility of collision with wandering stars, Bud
the Suggestion of ways as yet unconceived of
tor restoring wasted energy, are followed by
the statement that "the present =ler of
