It need hardly be said that the reflection and radiation of heat are two different matters. Let anyone hold a burnished metal plate in such a way that the sun's rays are reflected towards his face, and he will feel that with the light a considerable amount of heat is reflected. Let him leave the same metal in the sun until it is well warmed, and he will find that the metal is capable of imparting heat to him when removed from the sun's rays. This is radiation and cannot happen unless the metal been warmed whereas heat can be reflected Irom an ice-cold plate. There has been nothing in the experiments conducted by Lord Rosse to show by which of these two proceeses the moon's heat is principally sent to us; nor do we know enough of the constitution of the moon's surface to estimate for ourselves the relative proportions of the heat she reflects a nd radiates towards us. «3=* Offn-e earner of Exeter and Warren Streets, L.

JJILEMAN'S SALOON A loog-vexed question—one which astronomers and physic sts have labored and puzzled and even quarreled over for two centuries at least—bas at length been set at rest. Whether the moon really sends us any appreciable amount of warmth has long been a moot poi nt The most delicate experiments had been made to determine the matter. De Saussure thought he had scceeded in/obtaining heat from the moon, but it was shown that he had been gathering heat from his own instruments. Melloni tried the experiment and fell into a similar error. his famous Teneriffe expedition, tried the effect of seeking for lunar heat above those lower and more moisture-laden atmospheric strata which are known to cut off the obscure heat rays so effectually. Yet he also failed. Professor Tyndall, ip his now classical "Lectures on Ileat," says that all such experiments must inevitably fail, since the heat rays from the tnoon must be of such a character that the glass converging lens used by tha experimenters would cut of all of the lunar heat. lie himself tried the experiment with metalic mirrors, but the thick Londen air prevented his succeeding.

It was decided that mirrors, and not lenses were the proper weapons for carrying on the attack. Now, there is one mirror in existence which excels all others in existence in light gathering, and therefore necessary in heat gathering power. The gigantic mirror of the Rosse telescope has long been engathering the faint rays frow those distant stellar cloudlets which are strewn over the celestial ▼ault. The strange clusters with long outstretching arms, the spiral nebulce with mystic convolutions around the blazing nuclei, the wild and fantastic figures of the irregular nebulre, all these forms of matter had been forced to reveal their secret under the searching eye of the great Parsontown reflector. But vast as are the powers of this giant telescope and interesting as the revelations it has already made, there waB one defect which paralized half its powers. It was an inert mass well indeed, so that the merest infant could sway it —but posessing no power ol self .motion. The telescopes our great observatories follow persistentently the motions of the stars upon the celestial vanlt, but their giant brother posessed iw such power. And when we remenber the enormous volume of tbe Rosse Telescope, its tube— fifty ieet in length—down which a tall man can walk upright, and its vast metalic speculum weighing several tons, the task of applying' clock motion to cumbersome and seemingly unweildy mass might well seem hopeless. YC t without this it was debarred from taking it part in a multitude of processes of research to which its powers were wonderfully adapted- Spectroscopic analysis, as applied to tbo stars, for example, requires the most perfect unifomity of clock motion, so that the light from a star once received on the jaws of the slit which form the entrance into tbe spectroscope, may net move off of them even bv hair's breadth. And tbe determination ol the moon's heat required an equally exact adaption of the telescope's motion to the apparent movement of tbe celestial sphere. For so delicate is the inquiry, that the mere hea generated in turning the telescope upon the moon by the ordinary arrangement would have served to mask the result. Louisville, Ky., has mean thieves.

So are the cats. Rev. Thomas Allen, who was the first minister of the church in Pittsfield, settled in 17M, was at the b«tD- tie of Bennington and carried a musket. Once, whea asked whether he actually killed any man at Benningten, he replied that he did not know; but observing a flash often repeated from a certain bush, and that it wa9 generally followed by the fall of one of Stark's men, he fired that way and put the flash out! LANDSCAPES, Ac., Ac At enormous cost, and after many difficulties had been encountered, the Rosse Reflector has at length bah its powers more than doubled by the addition of the long wanted powers of solf motion. And among the first fruits ol the labor thus bestowed upon it, is the solution of tbe famous problem of determining the moon's heat The methods of courting are varied, and differ as much as do the persons who are the actors of the play. Tho bashful lovers are perfectly content to pass away their hours ofcourtship by gazing sweetly at each other, each occupying a distant corner of the room, or opposite sides of the hearth if the weather requires a 6re. The second grade of courting is where the parties have beaome bold enough to sit side side by side, each on their own chair; but the boldest courtship is where the twain are both content to occupy the same chair. This kind of courtship will almost invariably wind up with something. Courtship is often attended with much difficulty. Sometimes the maiden does not fancy him who would become her lover, and he is compelled to make tracks for home much earlier than he anticipated. Sometimes when the sweet charmer is really willing the old folks persist in sitting up and talking to an unseasonably late hour, or what is worse, inviting the girl to retire, which is not always done in good order,at least such is our own experience and as far as we cun ascertain, that of many others. Sometimes, too, the girl, or rather the widow will try to do the courting herself: and we regret to say, that in this case, like in all others where the fair sex attempt to t«ke the p lace that we should occupy, the thing becomes a failure.

An ingenious, and no doubt ingeuuous, youth invents tbe following: opposite the Catholic church, on WILLIAM STREET in Pittston. The experience he has had in his business, and the extent to which his work is known in this section, warrants the assurance on his part, that he will have the pleasure of again serving many who have heretofore favored him with their work. He pledges himself to use the best of wood, and to do the painting in the most durable and approved manner. The iron work to his wagons is done by Wm.

The moon's heat concentrated by the great mirror, was suffered to fall upon the face of the thermopile and the indications of the needle carefully watched. A small but very obvious deflection in the direction signifying heat was at once observed, and when the observation had been repeated several times with the same result, no doubt could remain. We actually receive an appreciable proportion of our warmth supply from the "chaste beams of the watery moon." The view which Sir John Herschel had long since formed on the behavior of the fleecy clouds of a summer night under the moon's influence was shown to be as correct as almost all the guesses have been which the two Ilerschelfl have over made Pittston, Feb. 18,18C9.

It need hardly be said that the reflection and radiation of heat are two different matters. Let anyone hold a burnished metal plate in such a way that the sun's rays are reflected towards his face, and he will feel that with the light a considerable amount of heat is reflected. Let him leave the same metal in the sun until it is well warmed, and he will find that the metal is capable of imparting heat to him when removed from the sun's rays. This is radiation and cannot happen unless the metal been warmed whereas heat can be reflected Irom an ice-cold plate. There has been nothing in the experiments conducted by Lord Rosse to show by which of these two proceeses the moon's heat is principally sent to us; nor do we know enough of the constitution of the moon's surface to estimate for ourselves the relative proportions of the heat she reflects a nd radiates towards us. «3=* Offn-e earner of Exeter and Warren Streets, L.

JJILEMAN'S SALOON A loog-vexed question—one which astronomers and physic sts have labored and puzzled and even quarreled over for two centuries at least—bas at length been set at rest. Whether the moon really sends us any appreciable amount of warmth has long been a moot poi nt The most delicate experiments had been made to determine the matter. De Saussure thought he had scceeded in/obtaining heat from the moon, but it was shown that he had been gathering heat from his own instruments. Melloni tried the experiment and fell into a similar error. his famous Teneriffe expedition, tried the effect of seeking for lunar heat above those lower and more moisture-laden atmospheric strata which are known to cut off the obscure heat rays so effectually. Yet he also failed. Professor Tyndall, ip his now classical "Lectures on Ileat," says that all such experiments must inevitably fail, since the heat rays from the tnoon must be of such a character that the glass converging lens used by tha experimenters would cut of all of the lunar heat. lie himself tried the experiment with metalic mirrors, but the thick Londen air prevented his succeeding.

It was decided that mirrors, and not lenses were the proper weapons for carrying on the attack. Now, there is one mirror in existence which excels all others in existence in light gathering, and therefore necessary in heat gathering power. The gigantic mirror of the Rosse telescope has long been engathering the faint rays frow those distant stellar cloudlets which are strewn over the celestial ▼ault. The strange clusters with long outstretching arms, the spiral nebulce with mystic convolutions around the blazing nuclei, the wild and fantastic figures of the irregular nebulre, all these forms of matter had been forced to reveal their secret under the searching eye of the great Parsontown reflector. But vast as are the powers of this giant telescope and interesting as the revelations it has already made, there waB one defect which paralized half its powers. It was an inert mass well indeed, so that the merest infant could sway it —but posessing no power ol self .motion. The telescopes our great observatories follow persistentently the motions of the stars upon the celestial vanlt, but their giant brother posessed iw such power. And when we remenber the enormous volume of tbe Rosse Telescope, its tube— fifty ieet in length—down which a tall man can walk upright, and its vast metalic speculum weighing several tons, the task of applying' clock motion to cumbersome and seemingly unweildy mass might well seem hopeless. YC t without this it was debarred from taking it part in a multitude of processes of research to which its powers were wonderfully adapted- Spectroscopic analysis, as applied to tbo stars, for example, requires the most perfect unifomity of clock motion, so that the light from a star once received on the jaws of the slit which form the entrance into tbe spectroscope, may net move off of them even bv hair's breadth. And tbe determination ol the moon's heat required an equally exact adaption of the telescope's motion to the apparent movement of tbe celestial sphere. For so delicate is the inquiry, that the mere hea generated in turning the telescope upon the moon by the ordinary arrangement would have served to mask the result. Louisville, Ky., has mean thieves.

O'er many a desert mile his chase may last, but once his courtship past his wife becomes his slave, and he alone is brave in his opinion.

So are the cats. Rev. Thomas Allen, who was the first minister of the church in Pittsfield, settled in 17M, was at the b«tD- tie of Bennington and carried a musket. Once, whea asked whether he actually killed any man at Benningten, he replied that he did not know; but observing a flash often repeated from a certain bush, and that it wa9 generally followed by the fall of one of Stark's men, he fired that way and put the flash out! LANDSCAPES, Ac., Ac At enormous cost, and after many difficulties had been encountered, the Rosse Reflector has at length bah its powers more than doubled by the addition of the long wanted powers of solf motion. And among the first fruits ol the labor thus bestowed upon it, is the solution of tbe famous problem of determining the moon's heat The methods of courting are varied, and differ as much as do the persons who are the actors of the play. Tho bashful lovers are perfectly content to pass away their hours ofcourtship by gazing sweetly at each other, each occupying a distant corner of the room, or opposite sides of the hearth if the weather requires a 6re. The second grade of courting is where the parties have beaome bold enough to sit side side by side, each on their own chair; but the boldest courtship is where the twain are both content to occupy the same chair. This kind of courtship will almost invariably wind up with something. Courtship is often attended with much difficulty. Sometimes the maiden does not fancy him who would become her lover, and he is compelled to make tracks for home much earlier than he anticipated. Sometimes when the sweet charmer is really willing the old folks persist in sitting up and talking to an unseasonably late hour, or what is worse, inviting the girl to retire, which is not always done in good order,at least such is our own experience and as far as we cun ascertain, that of many others. Sometimes, too, the girl, or rather the widow will try to do the courting herself: and we regret to say, that in this case, like in all others where the fair sex attempt to t«ke the p lace that we should occupy, the thing becomes a failure.

An ingenious, and no doubt ingeuuous, youth invents tbe following: opposite the Catholic church, on WILLIAM STREET in Pittston. The experience he has had in his business, and the extent to which his work is known in this section, warrants the assurance on his part, that he will have the pleasure of again serving many who have heretofore favored him with their work. He pledges himself to use the best of wood, and to do the painting in the most durable and approved manner. The iron work to his wagons is done by Wm.

Now is the time for those wishing pietures of their The delicate heat-measure, known as thermopile, was used in this work as in Mr Huggin's experiments for estimating the heat we receive from the stars. The moon's heat concentrated by the great mirror, was suffered to fall upon the face of the thermopile and the indications of the needle carefully watched. A small but very obvious deflection in the direction signifying heat was at once observed, and when the observation had been repeated several times with the same result, no doubt could remain. We actually receive an appreciable proportion of our warmth supply from the "chaste beams of the watery moon." The view which Sir John Herschel had long since formed on the behavior of the fleecy clouds of a summer night under the moon's influence was shown to be as correct as almost all the guesses have been which the two Ilerschelfl have over made Pittston, Feb. 18,18C9.
