REV- DR. TALMAGE. THE BBOOLLYN DIVINE'S SUNDAY SESSION. Text: The sun shall be turned into dark Yiess. Acta ii., 20. - Solar eclipse is here prophesied-to "take place about the time of the destruction of ancient Jerusalem. Joseph us, the htetonaa, aays that the prophecy was literally fulfilled, end that about that time there were strange appearances in the heavens. ; The sun was not destroyed, but for a little while hidden. Christianity is the rising sun of our time, and men have tried with the uprolling va pors of skepticism and the smoke of their blasphemy to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose tt e archangels of malice ana horror should be let looe a little while and be al lowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens. They would take the oceans from other worlds and pour them on this luminary of the planetary system, and toe waters go hissing down amid the ravines and the caverns, and there is explosion after explosion until there are only a few peaks of fire left in the sun, and these are cooling down and going oijt until the vast continent of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens aod cools off until there ara only a few coals left, and these are whitening and going out until there is not a spark left in all the mountains of ashes and the valleys of ashes and the chasms of ashes. An extinguished sun. A dead sun. A buried sun. Let all worlds wail at the stupendous obsequies. - Of course this withdrawal of the solar heat and light throws our earth into a universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate and the temperate becomes the Arctic, and there are frozen rivers and frozen lakee and frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic regions the Inhabitants gather in toward the I center and find the equator as be poles. I'he slain forests are piled uo into a great wmnre, and around them gather the shivering vil lages and cities. The wealth of the coal mines . is hastily poured into .the i furnaces and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower and the furnaces be gin to go out and the nations begin to die. Cotopaxi, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, Cali fonuan geysers ceatte to smoke, and the ice of hail storms remains unmelted in their craters. AH the flowers have breathed their last Lreath. Ships with bailors frozen at the mast and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and passengers frozen ln the cabin; all nations dying, first at the nlorth and then at the south. Cbi:d frosted arid dead in the cradle. Octogenarian frosted and dead at the hearth. "Workmen with frozen band on the hammer and frozen foot on the shuttle. Winter from sea to sea.

The archangels of malice and hor ror have done their work, and now they may take their thrones of glacier and look down . upon the ruin they have wrought. What the destruction of the sun in the natural heavens would be to our physi cal earth, the destruction of Christianity f would be to the moral world The sun turned into darkness. Infidelity in our time is considered a great joke. There are people who rejoice to bear. Christianity caricatured, and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage ana narioquinaae. ji , i I propose , this morning to take infidelity and atheism out tf the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy.and show you what they propose, and what, if they are successful, they will accomplish! There are those in all our commnnities who would like to see the Christian religion overthrown!, and who sajy the world would be better without it I want to 6how you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminus of ) this crusade, and what this world will be when atheism and infidelity have triumphed ver it, if they can. I say, it they can. I reiterate ; it, if - they can. - j. I In the first place, it will bel the complete and unutterable degradation of womanhood I will prove it by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all com munities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has been domi nant, woman's condition has! been ameli orated and i n proved, and she lis deferred to and honored in a thousand thing?, and every gentleman takes off his hat before her. If your associations have been good, you know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious surroundings. You know there are no better schoo!s and .seminaries in Brooklyn or in any city of this country than the schools and seminaries for young ladies. You know that while woman may suffer in justice in England and the United States, she has more of ber rights in: Christendom than she has anywhere else. . Now, compare this with woman's condi tion in lands where Christianity has made . little or no advance in Chinaj, in Barbery, ' in Borneo, in Tartary, in Egypt, in Hindo- stan. The Burmese Bell their wives and daughters as so many sheep. 1 The Hindoo : Bible makes it disgraceful and an outrage for a woman to listen to music or look out of the window in the absence of er husband, and gives as a lawful ground If or divorce a. woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished his meal. What mean those white bundles on the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide fol lowing infanticide. Femate children de stroyed simply because they fare female. . W oman harnessed to a plow as an or. Wo man veiled and barricaded, andj in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her death a horror. The missionary of the cross to-day in heathen lands preaches generally to two groups a group of men who do as they please - and ait, where jthey please; the other group women hidden and care fully wtcluded in a side apartment, where they may hear the voice of the preacher but may not be seen. No refinement. No lib erty. No hope for thi life, Ni hope for the life to come. BJnged nose. Cramped foot. Disfigured face. Embruted sonL 1 ow com pare those two conditions. How far toward thia latter condition that I speak of would woman go if Christian influences were with drawn and Christianity were destroyed r It is only a question of dynamics. If an object be lifted to a certain point and 'not fastened there, and the lifting power be withdrawn, how long before that object will Tall down to the point from whjch It started! It wdl fall down, and it will go still jfurtherthan the point from hich it starte L Christian ity has lifted woman up from the! very depths, of degradation almost to the skiei If that lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resur rected, not going any lower because there U no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degradation and woe is the Christian religion, and the only influence that has ever lifted her in the social scale is Christianity I have read that there are women who reject Christianity. 1 make no remark in regard to those persons. I make no remark in re gard to them. In the silence of your own soul make your observations. If infidelity triumph and Christianity be overthrown, it means the demoralization of society. The one idea in the Bible thit athe ists and infidel moat hate, is the idea of ret ribution Take away the idea, of retribu tion and punishment from society, and it will begin very, soon to disintegrate; and take away from the minds of men the fear of hell, and there are a . great many of them who would very soon turn this world into a ball- The majority of those who are indig nant against the Bible because of j the idea of punishment are men whose lives are bad or whose hearts are impure, and who hate the Bible because of the idea of future pun"sh . ment for the same reason that criminals hate ; the penitentiary. Oh, I Lave heard this brave talk about people fearing nothing of the consequences of sin in the next world, and I have made up my mind it is merely a cowards whistling to keep his courage up. I have seen men fiannt their immoralities in the face of the community, and I hare heard them defy the judgment day and scoff at the , idea of any f uture consequence of their sin; but when tbey came to die they shrieked until you could bear" them for nearly two blocks, and in the summer night jthe neigh bors got up to put the windows down because they could not endure the horror. I would not want to see a rail train with five hundred Christian people on; board go down through a drawbridge into a watery grave. I would not want to see five hundred Christian people go into such disaster, but I tell you plainly that I could more easily s?e that than I could for any protracted time stand and see an infidel die, though his pillow were of eider down and under a canopy of vermilion. I have never been abl to brace np mv nerves for such a spectacle. ! There is something at such a time so indescribable in the countenance. I just looke 1 in u-son it for a minute or two, but the clutch of his fist Yts io diabolic, , end the ftrensth'; of voice r w so unnatural, T could pot eainra It "There is no bell, there is ni bell, there is no bell!" th man had said for slity years; but that night when 1 looked in the dyinz room of my infidel neighbor, there was something on bis countenance which seemed to say: There is, there is, there is. there is." The mightiest restraints to-day against theft, ajrainst immorality, against libertin ism, against crime of all sort the mightiest restraints are the retributions of eternity. Men know that they can eseape the law, bnft down In the offender's soul there is the reali zation of the fact that they cannot escape God. He stands at the end of the road of profligacy, and be will not clear the guilty. Take all id of retribution (and punishment out of the hearts and mindb of men, and ft would not be long before Brooklyn and New York and Boston and Charleston and Chi cago became Bodoma, Th only restraints against the evil pavaons of the world to-day are Bible restraints.

A PAVOSITE SPORT OF nUXTEZLS X2T THE WEST. The Desperate FJght of a Wolf to Save HerYounr From the Jawa of the Hounds. . ; - "Chasing wolves with horses and bounds where these animals abound in I me west," eaia iien;amin need, ot Ly coming Co., PentL.Trho recently returned from a 30 years residence in the North western Territories, "has grown to be, next to coursing antelope with grey-? hounds, the favorite sport of the hunters for pleasure. The wolf chase is especially popular in Idaho. In a fair stand-up fight a grayt wuite or black wolf will whip any dogV no matter how bold or game he is. These species of the wolf know their own powers, and seem to like nothing better than to have a set-to with a dog. : I never knew a gray wolf to run from a single dog in all my experience. I was one of the patty that camped between the headwaters of the McArtnur and Malado Hirers, near the base of the Salmon Mountains, in Idaho, in the dajs when buffalo was still plenty, but wolves were so numerous in that region, and we found the chase of them on horseback so exciting, that many a buffalo owed his life at our hands to that wolfish presence. I remember in particular one wolf hunt we had while encamped in the Sal mon IIoud tain region We were mount ed on the be.t butfalo-hunting horses we could buy, and when a horse is a good buffalo-hunter be-is as good as a horse can be. Our pack of hounds was large and every dog a thoroughbred foxhound. The season was early Fall. Cur route led to the rocky rises of the Salmon range, which 'are famous lurking places for the gray wolf, the rocks ana dense undergrowth giving them the best of shelter, and the numerous streams afford ing them unusual opportunities to cap ture game animals that seek the water to drink and feed on the tender roots ; and plants that grow on the borders of the streams, . ; T "We had ridden several miles through this rough country before the dogs suc ceeded in starting a wolf, but at ' last they gave tongue in a thicket off to the right, and quickly following the excited braying a very large but gaunt she wolf with a litter of whelps tumbling after her broke into the opening. She dashed past us like a flash, and her litter of young ones huddled close too; her, evi dently finding no difficulty in keeping pace with her, although she went Ike the wind. As the wolf passed us she was so close that a pistol shot could have dropped her, but not a man raised his hand against her.- There was a stretch of prairie probably one eighth of a mile in width between the thicket where the wolf had been started and a dome like but not steep mound or hillock. : She dashed straight for the hillock, and so swift. wa? her gait that she bad disap peared around it before the dogs broke from,, the brush to take up-the trail. lhey followed it in, lull cry, and we spurred our horses to the hillock, and up its sides to the summit to discover taken. The the direction the wolf had killing pace she had cut out was more than her pups could maintain, as we dis covered oh reaching : the top of the "mound, as the. old wolf had slackened her speed to suit that of her youngy- two of which had fallen behind and were making their way with difficulty. "The dogs dashed around the hillock and were quickly clearing the space be tween them and the young wolves that had dropped so far in the rear that it was only a question of a few seconds when the jaws of the leading ' hounds of the pack would close upon the"m, and their future as prowling pests would be de stroyed. Although the mother wolf governed her pace to suit that of those of the litter that had -kept by her, it was plain that it was only by great effort that they were able to move even at that speed. The old wolf could easily have escaped by abandoning her interesting family, but, wolf as she was, she was a true and brave mother. She evidently recognized the fact that the situation was critical, and she changed her tactics in a surprising manner.' She suddenly turned in her tracks and charged back upon the hound that led the pack by several paces and was almost upon the wolf cub that was furthest in the rear. The winded litter kept on at the best speed they could make. The sudden charge of the old wolf took the hound so by surprise that before he could make any show against her at all she had him by the throat, and with one terrible snap of her strong jaws severed wind pipe and jugular vein, and threw the dog from her as dead as a stone. The two young ones kept on in a totter ing way for a few paces and fell ex hausted to the ground. The old wolf, seeing that it wai impossible 'to revive them, dashed on again and placed her self in the midst of the family that was left to her and by various - devices tried i to urge them on and encourage them. But it was useless. They fell behind singly and in pairs until only one, with more vigor than - the rest, was left struggling along with the mother. ."Only one result could be foreseen from the situation, but the old wolf resolved to make one more attempt to save her youngs ones. The dogs were almost upon ber, and suddenly she struck off at right angles from the direc tion her weary cubs were taking, and sped away over the prairie like a race horse, passing, the hounds almost under their noses. . She could "have but one design in thus apparently abandoning her cubs and that was a heroic measure. She hoped to divert the dogs from them by leading them in a chase after herself and she succeeded. The pack followed her, and now that the chase was in we dashed after the hounds. But it was a short one, as the wolf wavered in her course, apparently drawnby her maternal instinct back to her abandoned young, and she gradually turned and bore back toward the spot where she had left them. The dogs headed her off, and before we reached the scene of the ensuing conflict the wolf had been torn to pieces, but not before she had ripped another of the pack to death, leaving us but four with which to seek sport for the rest of the day.

He proposes, by means of electricity, to condense the col id part of the smoke as it arises from the coal, the carbon thus solidified falling back into the furnacev The bacillus of cancer is hard to find, nd Dr. Sender reports to the Berlin Clinical Society that he has been unable) to verify observations claimed to have revealed the organism. Cancer appears to be peculiar to man, as it has never been inoculated in the lower animals. The new machine just invented for printing postal cards prints them from the roll, and turns them out in packages ready for delivery. It runs them oflTat the rate of 800 a minute, with paper bands pasted around each twenty-five. It is said one man can look after two machines. - "Dry rot the enemy of builders is a contagious disease of timber. Good authorities state that it can be carried by saws and other tools which have been in contact with infected wood, and that such transition and impregnation is often the cause of the mysteriously rapid decay of originally sound timbers. An Austrian has patented a process for getting a thread that ean be spun and Bleached from wood, which is cut in long lengths and boiled till it will cleave apart in fibrous bunches by shaking in water. It is then shredded by hand or by ma chinery, and spun like hemp. Thts gives a very fine thread, and less, boiling gives a coarser one. It is found that, besides gas, a ton ; of ordinary gas coal will yield 1500 pounds of coke; i.0 gallons of ammonia water, and 140 pounds of coal tar. Now, de structive distillation of this amount : of coal tar gives about 70 pounds of pitch, 17 pounds of creosote, 14 pounds j of heavy oils, ; and about 9 pounds ! of naphtha yellow. - Paper bottles are now in extensive use for containing such substances as ink, bluing, shoe dressing, glue, etc. ( They are made by rolling glued sheets of paper into long cylinders, which are then cut in suitable lengths, tops and bottoms are fitted in, the inside coated with a water proof compound, and all this is done by machinery almost as quickly as one can count. ; Heavy machinery is now run by ar tesian well power in many parts of France, and the experience of the French chow that the deeper the well the greater, the pressure and the higher the tempera ture. The famous Grenclle well, sunk to the depth of 1800 feet, and flowing daily some 500,000 gallons, has a pres sure of sixty pounds to the square inch, the water being also so hot that it is nsed for heating the hospitals. A Steep Climb In Ceylon. . For the first time for a number of years the Sigiri Rock in Ceylon has been scaled by a European, the feat on this oc casion being performed by General Len nox, who commands the troops in the bland. It is said, indeed, that only one other European, 5Ir. Creasy, ever suc ceeded , iu reaching the Himmit. The rock is cylindrical in shape, and the bulging sides render the ascent very dif ficult and dangerous. There are galler ies all round, a groove about four inches deep being cut in the solid rock. This rises spirally, and in it are fixed the foundation bricks, wh:ch support a plat form about six feet broad, with a chunam-coated wall about nine feet high. The who'e structure follows the curves and contours of the solid rock, and is cunningly constructed so as to make the most of any natural support the formation can afford. 'In: tome places the gallery nas fallen completely away, but it still exhibits flights of fine marble" steps. High up on the rocks are several figures of Buddha; but it is a mystery how the artist got there, or how, being there, he was able to carry on his work. The fortifications consist of platforms, one above the other, supported by mas sive -retaining walls, each commanding the other. Owing to the falling away of the gallery the ascent in parts had to be made up a perpendicular face of the cliff, and General Lennox and four na tives were left to do the latter part of the ascent alone. The top they found to be a plateau about an acre in extent in which were two square tanks, with sides 30 yards and 15 feet respectively in length, cut out ot the solid rock. A palace is believed to have existed on the summit at one time; although time, weather and the jungle have obliterated all traces of it. During the descent the first comer had io guide the foot of the next into a safe fissure ;'bot all reached the bottom safely in about two and a hall bonrs. '-.
