Tue c!o<inor of fin century h re maskable for the wmdertui d.s:overies in scientific research Every day we read of some marvdons di$c?ve-y or invention. Prof. S e, formerly pressor of astrommv in the Chioigo University aod now professor of mathematics in the United Sta'e* Naval Obscrv?tory, his'foand a new law in na'are, which, from a scientific 6tindooinf, i-j a* important a3 ths Newton's discovery of the law ot gravitattion It is, briefly stated, th8 temperature or a gaseous star, varies inversely as its radius. Tbis may not appear so remarkable to ihe an-cientitic, ba from this discovery many strikiug and interesting conclusions are drawn by scientists. Iq McUlare'i for May, an iuterview with Prcf. See is published, and the intertiew states the law a? follows: "L?r. oee'8 jhw is o&seu uii iuc simple and well-known princip e that a gas, when compressed, gives oat heat. Compress the air iti a bicycle pump, and the pamp grows warm under the hand. The artracli ?n of gravitation in & gaseous body of huge dimensions ac.s as a natural and very similar compressing power. Tbat is, a gaseous star compresses itself' and produces heat. D,r. Sse's law, formulated by means of a simple mathematical compulation, expresses the rah lion of the temperature of a gjseous star to its s:z^ This is the formula: R <:TIs the temperature of a heavenly body, R is the radius of that body, and K is the constant. That is, the temperature of a gaseous star vanes inversely as the radius. If R decreases, T mu?t increase proportionately. In oth^r word>, when a gaseous body shrinks its temperature increases; or, to make the illustration specific, onr sun, which is known to be growing smaller (Sir Robert Ball says at the rate of ten inches a dav), is therefore growing much hotter." The.accepted theory has been that the sua i* bsconiug stabler ana orr?o 1 art/? nf in/*i?MQC?r?or in guii?i(vt | auu| tuawvua vK ?uv? WM M heat, has been decreasing in temperature, It i* stated that Prof. Se* admits that the "earth doe* not receive as much hear from the ?tn a* it did a few million years ago," bat he ac' counts for this by the fact that the radiating surface was more extensive A ArtPrt oUKAtlflrh a igvi uiiitiv/u joaio ?nuvugu vuv ^^N^gni#ho:ter now than then. "More hoqf^safs. from x bi^ cooking stayr'i than from an alcohol lamp, although the latter may be a bc.idred times as hot." The old theory?what is known as the nebulas hypothesis, that the solar Jsystem was at one time an impalpable nebuloas mass heated to an inconceivable degree, and rings were 1 thrown oft, by the. motion, which 1 formed the planets, gradually cooling j off, is not in favor with this new 1 hypothesis of the formation of the I universe. Speaking of his new law and some J of the conclusions reached, Prjf. See i says: 1 "Having: established the new law 1 ? that the temperature of a gaseous star i varies inversely as the radius, or, as I , call it briefly, T equals K over R, it is exceedingly easy to fchow the earlier condition of our universe Wc know from the experiments of eminent physicists and astronomers that the present heat of the sun is not far from 3 8,000 degrees Centigrade above the \ absolute cold interstellar space. 1 Remember that when R, the radius, I increases, T, the temperature, mast < decrease io like proportion. Sappose, 1 then, that the sun's radium was twice I wvi&t it is to-uay, the temperature < would be only 4,000 degrees. Is that i clear? Go still farther, and sappose 3 that the sun had eight times it3 present | diameter; the temperature would be < only 1,000 degrees. , < Note, at ooe timj the sun's mass j was so immense that it covered the i estire space now occupied by the solar i system. By the very simple appliua- < tion of the new law, we find that,?i when the radius of the sun was so ex- < tended that it reached the orbit of 1 NepU?ce, the temperature most have ' been at the almost ioconceivable on- i i 1 j. f anion 01 coia reprcieuieu uy i uegree ? ?" abone the absolute zero. As the ab- ( olute zero, or the cold ot space, has been determined approximately at 27S < degrees below zero Centigrade, then * onr sun, or the impalpable, nebuleus s mass which then composed it, must l have had a temperature of 275 decrees i below zuro?cold enough to make a j liquid of air and then freeze it solid into air ice. ( This was the original condition of < onr solar system and of all other stellar < systems?a formless swarm of icy j ? -? Sl'A oAma rr?.nof itia?5C3 liuai JJiw OUUJS glbiu uvi,a , of birds in blae space. Thi3 aggregation of bodies probably gave oat a t faint luminescence, sacb a3 we ob- i serve in tbe tails of comets, a light ^ probably due to electrical action, tbe exact nature of which we do not yet ? understand I imagine it mast bave ? had nearly the appearance of a great \ fcg-bank, with jast about as macb s luminescence. "When you come to think of it, space may to-day be full of just sach cold, dark, nebulous * masses at that which formed onr sun. t We know definitely of some of them, < and it is a singular fact, going to prove my law, that tbe spectroscope has so far been able to find only two substances in tbese nebalse. The first is hydrogen, one of the lightest of ( known gases and cue of the first to < escape from the frozen state of abso- ( lute cold; and the other is an unknown i substance wbich we have called i nebulium. At" or me oiaer suusiauces c are probably present in the nebu'ce, ( bnt they are in a solid and non-lami- j nous state. According 10 the old ( f~ theories, as I have said, the developing ] I mass was a white-hot, flaming body, < f the like of which we now see nowhere i ? in the universe, even with our best ( A telescopes. Either there are 11 > more 1 L. heavenly systems in process of form v ( lion, or else the old theories are er ft roneous. For my part, I believe that . the dim, cold nebulae* ot which we 1 B now know next to nothing, will in the ( ??a?pig^?a??c ong course of time become son3 and systems. What's the end? It -has always seen a significant' fact to *s that t1 scientists have always_agreed with the s Bible that the world mast be destroyed o wme day. They differ a* to the b manner of destruction. Some hold 1 that it will burn, others that it will 1 be destroyed by cold, but all that it 1 will be destroyed.. Ji As to the future Prof. See says: c The sun is still a gaseous body, and t it therefore conforms to the new law. g We know that it is shrinking from year to year, and it is, therefore, growing gradually hotter. At present * the radiance is yellow. As the years i go by and the heat increases, we may expext the light to grow gradually . whiter and whiter, until it approaches the glare of an arc lamp, and after 1 that it "will gradually become oiqp, me i next step marked in the spectrom. It will then have reached tha condifion of the bine stars of oar heavens, Sirias and Vega, and it will have shrank to a density nearly approacD-j* ingthat of an incompressible liquid.!. There is a vast chance for specnla- , tion as to what effect these changes in * " " - ? ^ hi u ~ i {be color or toe sun s ugnc wm nave ; on our earlh. We know that we shall receive less heat, owing to tli3 j smaller radiating surface ot the son; . but just what effect aglaie which is blue instead of yellow will have on ( the earth, its foliage, and inhabitant?, < if plants and animals exist at that time, we can scarcely imagine." ] * * * * "After the sun has bscoms a blue star, like Sirius, blue being the .nark 1 of old age among stellar bodies, it will j radiate an intensely bine light for perhaps ?i million years, and then sud- < deuly b< g. ? falling in temperature. In 1 the tuition co ling it may for a titns appear reddish. Then it will become ' a iiqu d, and finally a daik solid. : Sirius and other blue sia-'s mast reach J this dark stag* comparatively soon.

GRACEFULLY DECLINED 1 General Tade Ilampton has re- ' que3ted the newspapars of the State to J publish the following letter: To the People of the State: < My duties daring the past week at the reunion iu Charleston left me no opportunity of expressing to my frienuo my grateful sense of the spontaneous and almost nnivereal symnath? ^Lf>c7n bv them for the less I C ?

Mellichampe, we, who know him, exclaim as did the great King David at the tomb of Abcer, "Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?'' It'was 4.50 on the morning of May 13th that tbe sonl of our beloved Bro. T VV. Mellichampe ascended to be with the God be bad served in tbe capacity of expounding His word to dying souls tor sixty yeai-3. He was born iu Charleston, S. C., in 1817 an I r.jaral in a pious home. His uiottier died while, he was little more ihaa an infant. He was the grand-.'on of the hero of '-Mellichampe," one of Simms' finest works. As a boy, he had great talent for art and poetry which was a help to him in his ministerial work. He composed several beautiful poems for his private u-e, and in his sermons would qaote parts of them while be would be picfn r* n<Y tho minda r?f hia flnrtienr,? iUllilQ WV V14V AAtlHWV -v 4- ~ ~ ? - .. some scene in its trne and, somctimep, awfnl cjIow. He was the very soul of truth and i?^75r;aM_6y^nd"acr'3r^^-ej?ex dis^ honor the name of the household of God lie *a3, indeed, a prince, a true son of the King. He wore honor* brighter thau crown3 and wielded an influence longer and broader than scepters. Ke put upon him the whole Armor of God and fought h'n battles like a true soldier nntil his work was done, when the door of heaven op^n*1 for hi? entrance. And * 11. .L? . 3 L? as me door ui caiiu cioseu oeaiaa aim we feel that the world is better for his having lived in it. Yes, he lived and died in the faith of the old fashioned Christian relidon. . ; Aboat fifty-five yeans ago he married Mi=s Sallie Cattino, of Georgetown, whose lather wa?, also, a Bapti?t minister. She, being ? highly cultured and a truly noble Christian woman, has baen a congenial and help ful companion for him during his most useful life. Of late years he has been living near Riclgeway, S. C. Feeling nnusnallv well, he went to Motiticello, near Alston, 10 visit a youn# omusierj&t friend, Rev. E. A McDowell, who is now in charge of Bro. Mellichampe's old field over there. He was to preach to his former congregation from Prov., 8:36. 'But he that sin net h against me wrongeth h?9 own aoal: all tbey that hate me love death," en the Su1 day before bis death. Bat his work on earih wa? done, and the Lord had laid him down quite ill in oea. He was visited by his family while iil, aad his devoted wife and two son? were wi-h him until he died. His life wa> enongh for u?, so the Lord sealel his lips 'a-id closed his eyes several days before his death, and be passed avay in a 8>veet sleep to inherit the joys that Christ promises to the brwobes of the true vine, nis b anch truly bore much delicious frnit. The people of Monticello showed ibtir lov< for Liui in many ac's of kindness and careful tender nursing, which has forever placed them in the highest regard and affection ot his * * ~ r :rA lamuy, wnicn consists uj ms wuc, who danghter and six son-*. wh) survive him. He also has a half-brother, Prof Styles R MelJichampe, of Farman University, who is the only surviving member of his father's family.

The State, News was received in the city last night that the former postmaster at Ridgeway had been arrested on the charge of robbing the mails, The expostmaster J. C. P. Williams, brother of Sheriff Williams of Kershaw, and a man well known in Fairfield county. It is stated that the arrest was made upon warrants sworn out before Judge Brawley at the g United States court at brreenvme. it t was stipulated that be coald be released on $5,090 bond, but Williams was unable to isecure bail in sucb a large amount. - 1 The alleged crime is that of abstracting money from letters in the mail. I The class of funds upon which inroads i were made is pension money. It is said that Williams wonld abstract the \ money from letters and forge the signature of the party to whom the 3 money was directed. It is reported that white people and negroes alike were thus deprived of their pension money One individual theft is said to have amounted to over $500, while the supposed shortage will aggregate $2,000. It seems that when Williams lrard of the warrant being issued, he lett, but was arrested near Camden,, whither he had gone. He was placed in Kershaw county jail yesterday.
