A Storm OH the Sun.
Prom The Proyidonco Lnnrnnl.

Observers of the sun found indica-
tions Of intense connection on the nth,
18th, and 18th of August. The sun spots
were many, large and active, and protu-
bcranccs shot up their rosc-colorcd
tongues with increased force and ycloci-
ty from the surface. The earth made
instantaneous response to the solar
storm. A magnetic disturbance sudden
ly began, accompanied by an unusual
exhibition of earth currents. The mag
netic variations were frequent and large
and the earth currents continuous and
strong. 1t is years since the Greenwich
observatory has recorded magnetic dis
turbanccs of equal magnitude, and 1t
sent forth timely warning to telegraph
engineers, and cspc ;ially to those CON
ccrncd in laying submarine cables, that
earth currents may now become frequent
rs compared with the quictness Of recent
years. A superb exhibition of aurora
accompanied the magnetic disturbance.
An observer at the StOneyhurst obscrva-
tory describes it as recalling the mag
niHcent displays Of 1869, 1879, and the
most violent ever recorded at that OBJ
scrvatory. The auroral display was
extensively observed in England and
Scotland. One observer describes it as
an Outburst of steamers, appearing like
wavy, swaying curtains from the zenith
to near the horizon, with the lovliest
green tints near the zenith. Another
writes that the strcaks extended from
horizon to zenith, the color being prin-
cipaly pale blue with u reddish tngc.-
Another paints the display Ms n brilliant
band of white light followed by stream
crs, each strcamer fading awny before
the succeeding one became very bright.
Still another records Il glowing celestial
picture of the northern horizon skirtcd
by bright white haze, terminating In
an ill-dehncd arch, from which sprang a
large number of broad steamers,
stretching toward the zenith.
The same phenomena was seen by
American observers, although II did not
receive the attention bestowed upon II
by European observers. II is evident
however, that the epoch of grand nurO-
ras and magnetic storms has returned
and that our northern skies for months
to come will probably DC lighted with
aurorNl flames. More earnestly than
ever arises the question Of the cause OF
the sun-spot cycle and Its intimate con-
ncctlon with electric and magnetic phc-
uomcna. No one doubts that the cont
motion In the solar orb Is reflected on
the cnrth IN the flashes of aurorl light
aud the cratic movements Of. the mag
nrtic needle. We can see the cause aud
note the effect, But no one, If the the
DRY Of the disturbing influence of the
great planets Is rejected, has found the
clue TO the secret Of sun-spota. We can
only gropc IN darkness while we wait
for persistent searches To solve the prob
lem, aud admire with mingled reverence
aud awe the mighty power with which
the sun sways his rctlnuc Of worlds,
aud the sympathetic chord by which
each planet IN the system reflects IN att
rorl light and disturbed magnetism the
abnormal condition Of the great central
ntk

Oatmeal and Water.

great deal OF harm to health and

they feel the need Of supplying the

The Valley of Silence.
BY FATHER Ryan.

/ walk down the Valley OF Silence,
Down the dim, vOiceless Valley alone !;
And hear not the fall of a foOtstep
Around me--saye Gods and my own
And the hush of my heart is us holy
As hovcrs when angels have flown.
Long ago was weary of voices
Whose music my heart could not win !;
Long ago was weary OF noises o
That fretted my soul with their din;
Long ago | was weary Of places
Where met the Humankind sin.
/ walked through the world with the
worldly;
craved what the world never gave;
And said, "In the world each ideal
That shines like Il star on life's wave,
ia tossed OH the shores of the Real,
Aud sleeps like dream In the grave. $"
And still did pine for the Perfect,
And still found the false with the true !;
] sought mid the human for heaven,
But caught mere glimpse of the blue,
And went when the clouds Of mortal
Yelled even that glimpse from my
view.
And toled, heart tired Of human;
And moancd mid the masses of men,
Till knelt long at an altar,
And heard Il voice call mc--since then
] walked down the Valley of Silence
That is far beyond mortal ken.
DO you ask what found in the Valley ?
IT'S my trysting place with the Divine /;
And fell ut the feet of the Holy,
And above me voice said "Be mine, "
And there rose from the depths Of my
spirit
The echo, only heart shall be thine"
DO you ask how live in the Valley?
weep and dream and pray:
But my tears arc Us sweet MS the dew
drops
That fall on the roses in May;
And my prayers, like perfume from
cenSerS,
Asccndcth to God night and day.
In the hush of the Valley Of Silence
dream all the songs that | sing;
And the music floats down the dim Val
ley
Till each finds word for wing,
That to men, like the dove Of the delugc,
The message of peace they may bring.
Bw far on the deep there are pillows
That never shall break on the beach,
And have heard songs IN their silence
That never shall float into speech;
And have dreams in the Valley
Too lofty for language TO reach.
DO you ask me the place in the Valley
Ye hearts that are narrowed by care?
IL lies far away between mountains,
Aud God and his angels are there;
And one Is the dark Mount OF Sorrow
And one the bright Mountain of Pray
