Prot eowkley, of New \ork, says: Mo.,t of the planets have probably cooled tiow u by radiation to a solid audei crubt like tbe earth. The sun owing t. Ills greater uiaes is still a fiery globe not yet lociwi down so as to have a soIk, trubt. Bat oar moon being a l^ody oi siuall ma-is only about one-eighcieth oi tho ourth's mass, is'sujjposed to havt- had liuie to cuol down to a soiid glole all ttie w ly from ibi surface to its centre. Its iiitefual beat is snpposeii to Lav*; been ail radiated away into the surn.nuu- ing coid space. Now the hot interior mass of the earth can, of course, con- tain no water, and litcle or iiOue of tiie free « aaes that constitute an atmosphere. Thi,y would bo boiled off, expsHoei and urivtu lo the surface wl.ert: aie found now the great bulk oi oiir o, eaus an.i cur abo-osphere. But wueu the Cfirtb shall Lave paitcu with aJl its internal Le it, having thi own It into the surrounding co d bpace as tht moou haH doiie^ then the cola, soiiu Lui porous niatis witl in its present crust, which is now iucapabie of absorbing water or air, on ticconut of the pres« ui high teuiperature, will begin to ariuk lip the water and air just us tl)e parcLec. soil after a siunn er's uroujihc drinks vy the ram, anu the ground is rtiy in a fen ii.^uutes a: ter tiie shower. But V on nja^ well ask, coiiid the boiid poLous njab within tiie present crust of the earti thus drink up the whoie of the water.- of the Atlantic and Paeiiic Oceans a-nr cause d the waters of our ghibe to nib- SL pear V Let us examuie this m(;ri closely. While the interior of the earth remains as hot as it is at present it is no uioro possible fo* the water and air of our globe to penetrate to those fiery regions than it is for a drop Oi water to rcintiiu on a hot stoce lint the earth is losing its heat day by uay and yiar by year, radiating it out into the sunouiidii g cold space. I know it has oeeu compuied that the earth receives from the sun annually just as much lit at as it loses in a year by radiation into the surr:aijd- ing space. Grant that it bo so for the present and fur many tliovsauds ol ear8 to come. But the trouble is that the sun himself is cooling off, and, thero- lore, will not be always able to stud u^: as much heat as he does at pre.seut. The time will, therefore, sureiy i oiue wiitn we shall lose more heat by radiation in- to space than the sun will be able t' retuin to us. Then it will be only a question of time for the earth gradually to cool down, as the moon has already done, from Surface to centre. When that time comes will not the dry but solid and porous core of our globe drink up the oceans aod atmosphere, causing them to disappear, not into large cavern- ous pockets, but into the mioate pores of its substance The proposition appears to be estab- lished by strict calculation that the in- terior of the earth when cold will be able to absorb more than four times, possibly more than thirty times, the amount of water now on its surface. Now, it seems certain that in the man- ner first explained the earth will con- tinues to lose both its sniierficisd water and its atmosphere. The earth, the other planets, and even the enn himself, are regarded as doomed at some future day to the same fate. Melancholy fate, some will say. But why couiplain of the general law of nature Everything in nature has its morning of life, its high meridian of glorv and atreDgtb, its even- ing decline .and it» midlkight of black- ness and death. Is the case of a world ^is that the last term of a series A New Style of UmbreUa. There is a man in St. Loais who bar invented a combined ear trumiet, npeak- ing trumpet, and umbrella, which proves to be an unalloyed blessing to deaf people. The newly .invented instrument does not differ in af^^earance from an ordinary umbrella; tbaiuiibrellr stick is; however, hollow, wd the handle has the usual bell-shaped aperture oi the ear trumpet. A deaf man ownii'g one of these instruments, and desiriug to con- verse with a friend, places the point of the umbrella in bis personal ear and turns the bell towards his companion. He has thus an efficient ear trumpet, and he can use it without exciting the slightest suspicion that he is deaf Spec- tators w in merely notice that he is hold- ing an umbrella to his ear, and will suppose that he is an eccentric person â€" a|ihilcsopber for instance â€" who is listen- ing intently to remaika of an Unusually profound character. When two um- hrel'as are used even e deadest of men can hear. la this ease the deaf man uses one umbrella as an ear trumpet, and bis conipanion uses Ute other as a speaking trumpet. A conrersaticmal duet on two vimlirellas can thoa be rccdily carried on witboat attracting the disagreealtle attention that an ordi- nary ear trumpet alw«^ attracts. The new umbrella also has the great merit q' L :in£ a geniune mnsif^ instrument. ^^or a tTidiug auuition to Its cost uie in- ventor will supiily it with pistons, con- verting it into a B fat comet. An •n.Htrument of this kind is now on exhi- bition at the inventor's office in crnnec- tion with an excessively deaf man. wln. after conversng on any subject lor half an hour, by the help of an umbrella trumiet will plav a ftftlpction of popular •iirs on the instrument without extra charge. It will at once be seen that the 'lovularity of the ik:W umbrella will not be coTjfined to deaf people. Every oer«on who plays the cornet will be glad '•" liave Hc-ornet dist^uise-i as ar uDibrella 'ud capable of being u.sed to shelter him fiom a rainstorm. Ju some parts of the country it is nnsf fe for a cornet player to carry his instrnuient in his hand, for popular indiyiia^irn may at any TOO?iriir take the forms of bricks and eggs of the kind known to Sir. Logan as "old veterans." It will always be safe, how- ever, for any person to uisp'ay an uiri- brella trinup t. since ro one can pos- Biblv dr-tect by its Rppearance 'lieij folded tliat ik is not »n umbrella.

The following are the main changes pro- posed to be made in the School Act by the Bill now before the Ontario Legislature. Tke school age is first noticed, and is summarily fixed as between the years of 5 20. This is merely enacting what has almost aniversaUy come to be understood as bong the law. At present it i8 not required of a school trustee that he shall be a British subject by birth or naturahzation. The new act pro- vides that such role shall be enforced not only as regards trustees but all officers of the school. ' Adequate accommodation" is defined to mean accommodation for all actual residents in the school section, and not for those who may attend, as heretofore. The much vexed question ot umon schools is dealt with. Provision is made that when five ratepayers in each municipaUty interest- ed petition their respective councils the matter shall be referred to certain prescribed erbitrators, who shall examine into the matter and report to the councils, and their lepor^; shall be final. The same proceedure shall obtain when it is sought to break up a union school section. To settle the question of valuation it is proposed to enact that the assessors of each municipality interested in a union school section shall meet each year at the dose of their labors and equalise their assessment of the section and should they il to agree they shall call a third party who shall act as arbitrator. It has been fotmd that a diipuity nists in the rate taxation for the different sections and Mr. Boss frankly acknowledged that it is diffisolt to find a remedy. His proposition is, that the township oooncils shaU have power to levy Igy oniform rate the sum of f 100 for each school seotibn within said munidpality, snd a proportionate rats for each union section. Where more than one tesehsr is employed #60 will thus be raised for each- individual teadier. This measure, heheaes, will tend to lessen the evil eomphuned of. It is proposed in thermal disttiets to abolish the office of school trsasorer, making the township treasurer take ohaige of the school monqrs, and requiring of him the same bonds as are now required tot the treasurer of the school board. This will make bat little change, as in nine-tenths of the municipalities the township treasurer is alreaily treasurer of the school board. HoldenKif thiad dasa oertifioales will not be allowed to teach outside of the county within which the certifi(;ate was issued. The old first-class county board certificates wil] no longer be confined to one country. Where Prfnoh and Oexnum are taagbt the county council may add additional naminers in these bianebes to the county board of ex- aminers. The examiners are now paid the same rate as a msmber of this eoimty coundL It is proposed tap^y them a fixed teeotao much for eadi euididate who eomes up for examin- ation. BegizAing' inspeotor's lees, the county councils will have4o pay the reason- aUe travelling expenses of the inspectorB. The yery much discussed question of superannuation is proprsed to be dealt with in the following manner No teacher will be reqmred to pay into the fund Those who aire now paying, and so desirei, to continue to pay, the yearly fee being increased from #4 to 98. Those who have contributed in the past but cease to do so, if they leave the profession, will be entitled to receive back one half of what they have paid in if they do not withdraw from teaching and are dis- abled they will receive compensation for the years they have paid. The cumpulsory clauses in the act as it now stands provides that all children between the age of seven and thirteen shall attend school thirty-five days each half year but in eases where they are working in factories pait of their time is remitted. It is proposed that only those that can pass an examination equal to the passing from the third to the fourth book shall have any portion of time remitted. This is but following th^ EngUsh principle. ' Perhaps the most important of the propos- ed alterations is that which provides that school boards may order the election for school trustee to be held at the same time and place as those for municipal representa- tives. When such course is adopted the laws governing the elections for municipal officers, such as hours of voting, voting by badot. G, willalso control tho school election t It should be compulsory instead of optional. Finally, every salaried official of the municipality is disqualified from being eUgible as a candidate for school trustee. Bailnrayorno Railwayâ€" Bonu» or no Bonns. Boeklyn correspondence in Mirror. There was no difference of opinion as to the necessity for the railway â€" every one who has resided in Euphrasia during this winter will admit it is badly needed â€" but on the question of bonus there is not by any means so much unanimity, and some of the old residenters are not afraid to express adverse opinions, interspersed, when recollections of the Northern railway bonus are brought up* with occasional "cursory" remarks. In 1867, when the North Grey extension of the Northern Railway was projected, Euphrasia was deluged with stump speakers from Meaford and elsewhere, and the people allege thatthey were "fooled" into voting in favor of'bonusing it to the tun? of $32,500, while the township of Colling wood, through which it passed from eiid to end, gave only $25,000. Whether the people were "fooled" or not is a question upon which there is room for great difference of opinion, but be that as it may I persume Squire Paterson, of B^antyre, will admit that the activity he displayed in lavor of bonns cost him his subsequent defeat, and has been the means of keeping him out of the Beeveship ever since. Probably the "big guns" from Meaford, who are still men in high places, also vrill admit that they fel gratified that they had not wasted their wind and "boomed" the hotels in ysin. It cannot be denied that the extension of the line to Meaford has proved a great benefit to Eu- phrasia, but the Toronto. Grey A Bruce is of equally as much, if not more, benefit, and its construction did not cost the ratepayers one cent. Some of the people are "penny wise and pound foohsh," and there can be no doubt but that the fact that this 9S2,300 was voted and is not yet all paid off will materially injure the prospects of carrying a by-law to bonus the projected branch from Durham to Meaford. If tke new Ime runs to the south east and has its terminus at Thombuiy, the residents of Kimberley and neighborhood would probably vote a sectional bonus. So with the people of Walters Falls and neighborhood if it takes to the west, but if it strikes through about the centre a Uberal graeral bonns wUl likely be granted. Rocklyn would then become, as the gemal editor of ot the Thombuiy Standard predicted in 1882, a"niceUttle inland village." There is no immediate prospect of the branch being built, but as the scheme is quite feasible if it la properly boomed, and if reasonable offers of .assistance are held out by those interested. e people of Euphrasia will, doubtless, ere long be placed upon an equal footing, so fur as traveUing faciUties are concerned, with the rest of the civilized world.
