POLITICAL MEMORANDA.

| GEN. SPINNER is talked of as Repub-
lican candidate for Treasurer in New
York.
The estate of the late Congressman
Hooper is shown by an inventory to be
worth 81 1904, 985. SO.
The New Jersey Republicans are be-
ginning to urge Senator Frelinghuysen
as candidate for the Presidency.
Ex-Gov. JOEL PARKER, of New Jersey,
is the man named in connection with the
Democratic candidacy for President.
A WASHINGTON correspondent says /:
"Sam Randall is quite communicative
as to his chances for the Speakership.
He claims to have 100 votes pledged,
which is more than enough to carry the
caucus.
Ex-Gov. JOHN G. Brown, Gen. W. B.
Bate, and ex-Gov. Ishan G. Harris are
the most prominently mentioned as like
ly to succeed the late Senator Johnson.
It is thought Gov. Porter will appoint
Mr.. Brown until the Legislature elects.
A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Tribune says that an interesting feature
of the canvass in Ohio is the growing
belief that if Hayes is successful he will
be the coming man for the Presidential
nomination next year.
LoNGsTREET proposes to vindieate
himself from the charge that through
him the battle of Gettysburg was lost to
the Confederate army, and for that par
pose has obtained access to the rebel ar
chives in Washington.
WILLIAM BIGnER, who is nominated
as the probable Democratic candidate
for Governor in Pennsylvania, was
elected Governor in 1851, over William
f. Johnson, Wing, and was beaten IN
1854 by Pollock, who became the first
Republican Governor of the State.
GEN. BUTEER Will 7,robably be heard
from before the Massachusetts, campaign
is fairly begun. The Worcester Press
says: sAchilles slumbers in his tent
at Gloucester His battle-ax is sharpen
ing for new campaign; but where, and
when, or how, it will strike, remains to
be seen. His friends have adopted the
war-cry, Butler or CASTOR, and tell the
party to take their choice"
THE Cincinnati Enquirer says We
have seen what prestige there is in New
York Democrats. We tried Mcclellan
in 1864, Horatio Seymour in 1868, and
Horace Greeley in 1872. We were glori-
ously beaten each time. 1t is well to
give New York little rest. We regard
| It as pretty certain that we will have a
new deal in 1875, and cease the practice
of eternally going to New York for a
candidate.
CALIFORNIA; is one of those happy
States that have no debt to speak Of. All
the money which it owes to creditors
other than itself is 1873, 500, and the San
Francisco Bas11et5ss says that if a system
of rigid economy should be set on foot
California might be, before the close OF
the next four years, not only compare
lively the wealthiest, but the most pros
porous State I'm the Union" The debt
was once more than 100000, which,
it is claimed, was illegally contracted,
but was, notwithstanding, assumed by
by the people.

A THEORY OF THE STORMS.

They are Explained by Father SecchPs
Observations the SUMS Bulk.
[Ann Arbor (Mich) Letter to New York Graphical
For nearly two months reports of
great and disastrous foundations have
been coming in from various extended
districts of Europe and America, and lat
terly from Africa and Asia. In South
ern France there has been the greatest
destruction of life and property; many
large tracts of land in England-as in
Somerset, Wits, Gloucester, Leicester
shire-are now submerged in South
Wales the loss of life and property has
been enormous; violent storms have
ragged In South America, and in our
Western States acres upon acres OF pas
ture aud corn lands are under water;
rivers are rising high above their ordin-
airy level; and in Colorado, where rain is
generally unknown at this season of the
year-in California, where rain in June
is an anomaly, the water has fallen In
overwhelming torrents. It seems as
though univel sal deluge were immi-
nent Heavy deposits of rain, hail and
snow have caused the floods, and in or
binary circumstances, though storms are
rightly supposed to be due mainly to
local causes, yet when these phenomena
simultaneously become SO general III
places widely sundered it is logical
necessity to seek for some general cause
of them all.
That the size and distribution of the
solar spots have an electromagnetic ef-
feet on the earth and are connected with
the occurrence of storms other than
magnetic storms is now fully known,
but observations made by Father Secchi
during the years 1912 have cast still
further light on this point by showing
that the size of the sun is not always the
same, but that it varies IN such way
| that when the solar diameter has mini
mum values the number of spots and
| protuberances are at their maximum.
| During violent solar storm, when jets
| of incandescent hydrogen ninety or
hundred thousand miles In length are
darling towards the earth, the solar di-
ameter is less than during periods of
tain Ericsson, the permanent contrac-
ton of the suns diameter is 1907 feet
every day, but the temporary fuctua-
lions are vastly greater than this, and
capable of producing terrestrial storms
proportlonally to their activity. Inc
dynamic activity of the sun is greatest
when the diameter is the smallest, and
vSce Uersa. OF late there have been no
ticed greater and more rapid fuctua-
tions than at any time since Father
Secchi's announcement was made; spec
troscopic observations made here show
this in remarkable degree. The most
plausible theory Of the terrestrial storms
[ am able to give is that they are caused
by unusual electro magnetic and Their
mometric conditions caused by these
unusually active and rapid changes in
the sun.

So runs the ancient saw:
His heart is light,
Because her paw
Is out of sight
The King is dead:
Without head,

In every street
The red blood flows
g My dad is gone"
So reasons John,
.sAnd now I'll have spree
Ay, such lark
For I am free
Until it's dark!"
He huns song
And ponders long
Which way his course to steer;
An hour is spent
BY Jack, in sheer
Embarrassment.
The musings stop
raZor-strop!
With razor, brush, and soap!
Upon his brow
The dawn of hope
Is resti1g now!
"Hurrah that's brave!

So saying, he
His task began,
In boUndless glee.

"Boo-ow-ah--o-o-o! !"
s'Be quiet, do,
And tell us where you're hllrt
"Boo-oohi just see

How cross they'll be"
At length, resigned
To fates unkind,
Poor Jack subdued his din;
And neighbors good
From clothes and chin
Wiped off the blood.
With tingling cheek
Jack told his freak,
And trenlbled as he spoke;
His silence dread
His father broke,
And thus he said:
ssThat razor, Jack,
Has saved your back,
And paid the bill in cash;
Now we are quits,
And may the cash
Let in some wits !"

BALTIMORE has a new idea in the way
Of transferring grain, which New York
would do well to adopt if she wishes to
save the remnants of her whilom monop-
oily of the Western trade. At the former
city, cars are run directly upon two
story scow, which is then towed along
side the steamer. The pipes are adj
iusted, and the grain runs down into the
hold. Gravitation does the work of
steam, and does it much cheaper. The
adoption of such a system in New York
would hurt the men who now make ex-
tortionate profits out of the cumbrous
"lighters " into which the grain is slow
" shoveled from the cars, to be after
wards slowly shoveled into the steam
ships, but it would benefit good part
of the rest of American mankind.

excuse for delay, SO Teddy crawled to
Lud's former position, and held tie
glass to the hot rays which poured down
between the thin leaves. His hand trem-
bled little, but he soon got the proper
focus, and the slow-match taking fire
began to splutter little sparks.
Teddie scarried back to the other

"Wait TIL de match mos burnt, .

his mouth when there was muffied ex-
