A black lino of a oorfatill.fdfm on a spec
trum of tlio sun shows that an Itlgredlept
exists tlierc which Is found in dttr globe; a
bright lino in tlio s|ieetrnm of a star sliows
that its light has passed through aqueous
ipors, indicating a ivlilte-liot nucleus
i rounded by hleandescctit atmosphere;
in fuct that the stars are suns like our sun.
Front the observations of hockycr nnd
Jnnnscn, inndo during the solar eclipse of
last August, there can bo little doubt that
tho “rosy protuberances,” which have so
long puzzled astronomers during eclipse,
are tnimejiso masses of glowing hydrogon,
rising to tho bight of from 70,(MO to 00,000
miles nbovo the surlhce of tho sun. Tills
fact also gives an additional reason for be
lieving that bur sun belongs tb the class of

The town of Stockport, N. *F.., was tlio
scene of considerable excitement recently
on account of a gigantic land-slide, and
thousands hnvo visited the spot. It com.
prises nearly five acres, and. was an eleva
tion aboro a dry ravino. A hill Intervenes
between this ravine and tlie creek, on tho
cast and noi-Jli, of a little less than tho nl-

ment was gradual, nnd tho surfaco of,tho
earth undulnted llko waves of. tho ocean
No noise Was heard until the moving rnnsH
struck the hnso of the intervening hill,
when there was a dull, rupihling sound,
resembling distant thunder, and a quiver
ing sensation llko a slight shock of.nn
earthquake. Tlio- earth caved in to tho
distance of ovor eighty feet, and thq sur-
face, as indicated by trees nnd fences,
moved » distance of over six hundred feet.
So gradual was tlio movement tlmt It oc
cupied about hnlf an hour, and tho sight
16 described by tlioso who witnessed |t ns
sublime in tho extreme. Among the most
marked incidents of the phenomenon is
tho fact that un oak treo. which stood by
tho roadside was moved, with it scotion of
tho fence, to tho bottom of tfio ravine, a
distance of 000 feel, and thc.trcp nndfonUO
