The Sun.

It is pitiful to witness the condition OIL
the sun. The great fire ball is in in.
tense connection. His surface isseamod
and Scared in every direction, with
black spots that indicate the disturbing
elements at work in his chaotic mass
Occasionally, for day or two, the blem.
ishes disappear, and the glorious king o.
day shows face like shield of glowing
gold. But the aspect quickly changes
spots come rushing in all directions and
assuming all forms. They appear singly
and in pairs, and again in groups and
rows. Immense groups break up into
small ones, and small ones unite to form
great chasms. into which half dozen
worlds might be dropped and there would
stillbe room for more.
Sometimes the spots are visible to the
naked eye, and at that time good opera
glass or spy glass will make them easily
perceptible. Hundreds of observers all
over the world watch the suns face
every clear day. and keep record of the
number Of spots. their size and the d.
rection in which they move, for as the
sun turns on his axis they turn with him,
some of them remaining for months with
out much change, some taking on new
forms and some disappearing entirely
Very little is known of this N ykterious
sun or the spots that are visible more
than ninety millions of miles away.
Once in about eleven years the sun
takes on his present sun spot phase and
we are approaching the maximum of
disturbance. No one knows this cause.
Some believe that it is planetary at
traction, some that it is the fall of great
masses of meteoric matter, and some that
it is the result of internal commotion
and the rush upward of gaseous explo-
sions, in comparison with which our
ficrcest volcanic eruptions are but the
flicker Of fame. Besides the sun spot
agitation, the gaseous outbursts are
marked and vidid. The tongues of
flame, or rosy protuberances, are dart
ing forth in all directions and bearing
their testimony to the solar commoton.
Mr. Trouvelot. of Cambridge, who makes
daily observations Of the suns chromos-
phere, gives a graphic description of a
remarkable solar protuberance that he
witnessed on the 9Th of November
When first seen it was large and COM
plcated, extending upward from the sun
about 100000 miles.
Three or four hours after il had de-
veloped into hugo proportions, extend
ing far out into space, and vanishing
gradually to regions where it could not
be perceived. AS nearly as it could be
measured, it reached a height of over a
quarter of the suns diameter or about
two hundred and thirty-fve thousand
miles. Such protuberance hurled up
ward from the earth would almost reach
the moon! Two hours after, the whole
structure bad collapsed and was only
about eighteen thousand miles high.
observations like this give an idea of
the mighty forces at work in the solar
orb, and make observers long for the
time when satisfactory solution may be
found for this mysterious periodical solar
disturbance, so intimately connected with
the meteorological condition of the earth.

ONLY A WORD.

VAs44 - w 0Ah9s
Only word little winged word
Blown through the busy town,
Lighter than thistle-down,
Lighter than dust by rowing bee or bird
Brushed from the blossoming lily's golden
crown;
Borne idly here and there,
OF as the summer air
About mems doors the sunny stiffness stirred
Only word
But sharp, o sharper than two edged sword
To pierce, and sting and mar
The heart whose peace breath of blame
could mar
Only word, a little word that fell
Unheeded as the dew
That from the darkling blue
Of summer midnight softly steals TO tell
Its tale of singing brook and star-lit dell
In yonder noisome street,
Where, pale with dust and heat,
The little window flower in workman's cell.
Its dropping bell
Uplifts to greet the kiss 1t knows so well;
A word-a drop of dew!
But o, its touch could life's lost hope renew.

San Francisco street Cars

No city in the world possesses better
or cheaper street car facilities than San
Francisco. Its bright, clean cars, smooth
tracks, rapid transit, and polite and at
tentive conductors are the surprise and
delight of the visitor. The transfer
check system confounds him, and
weeks elapse before enc can comprehend
hew one five-cent fare will carry a pas
senger over several connecting lines of
railway. The universal value of street
car tickets, which are receivable on any
line or any retail store at their face
value, is convenience almost un-
known this side of New York. Then
the clean, pleasant, cheerful cars in use
here present contrast to the wide,
clumsy, open concerns, usually knee
deep with filthy straw, in use in Chi
cago, CINCINNATI and st. Louis. AS for
the cable lines the Eastern visitor never
ceases to admire and wonder at them.

The reports of Guiteau's trial excite

The reports of Guiteau's trial excite
the utmost establishment among the
English lawyers that such continued
violations of decency are allowed in
court. Nor do Englishmen understand
how the criminal is allowed to commu-
nicate with the public through the
newspapers. Such is the sentiment
which this remarkable trial has already
built I'D in London. The same senti-
ment doubtless prevails in the commu-
mites of the civilized world. Even in
free America, so long accustomed to the
very greatest license in court rooms,
the Guiteau farce is becoming disgust
ing.
