How TO GET EARLY SWEET CORN. Ger
mantown Telegraph: Judge Miller. Of
Missouri, being on visit some time ago,
mentioned to Us fact discovered by
himself, in which full week can be gain
ed in getting sweet corn for boiling. He
said it was, that as soon a. the ear is
formed, break the top down or cut it of,
but leave the stalk erect in order that the
pollen of the tassel will be sure to dust
the silk of the ears, as they may ot be
fully impregnated should the SEX be
topped. He stated that he had expert
mented for years and was entirely salts :
fed that it is uniformly practical aud Of
value. In fact he thinks that ear becomes
more fully developed also. This is hint
easy to adopt, and may be OF interest to
truckers as well as for the private garden.

JUDGE BLACK BEFORE THE SU-
PREME COURT.

The following joke is related at the ex-
pense of Judge Jerry Black while ne was
arguing the McGarrahan case before the
Supreme Court, in Washington, some
years ago:
One day, while speaking on some mo-
ton, Black discovered at the close of q
two hours Grafton, that the entire bench,
including tho Chief Justice, was sound
asleep. Much incensed, he gathered up
his papers aud left the room. Meeting
the Chief Justice at dinner at Secretary
Fish's that evening, Black angrily COM
meated on the Occurrences.
''Why, my dear judge" said Mr..
Chase, with q surprised expression, 81
thought you would be the last man on
earth to object to such thing. The fact
was that all the Justices were so fatigued
from the Presidents reception last night,
that this morning We consulted together
and agreed to hear you on some motion
or other, 50 that we could all enjoy q
good, square nap. We supposed you
had been IN the bench for 30 long that
you'd know how it was yourself"
sThe devil you did?" said the old, fiat
bottomed legal luminary.
eyes, but you needn't alarm yourself,
my dear Black. The shorthand reporter
made full memorandum of your re-
marks"
"Did chi" snapped the Judge. "Why
he was asleep, tool"
''The devil he was," exclaimed the
Chief Justice, much vexed. Il always
did trust that fellow. In that case, my
dear Judge, we will haze to rely on the
jdniter.

SToCKBRIDaE GOLD MINE.-Many bar
rels of quartz have recently been sent to
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
other eastern cities to be assayed, from
the Maxwell farm in Stockbridge. The
yield of gold from samples sent east var
les from 81 to $148 per ton. Capitalists
have recently been found who believe
that the mine can be worked at profit,
and active preparations are now being
made to work it on quite en- extensive
scale. Henry Hewitt, of Menasha, is
furnishing the capital and Reyes Darling
of Fond du Lac is experimenting the
preparations and ia now east to purchase
crusher and diamond drill. In the
meantime large amount of quartz is be-
ing taken out, so as to keep the crusher
running when it is got in operation
Those who are financially interested in
the mine are said to be buoyed with
great expectations as to results. The
same vein of rocks that crops out on the
Maxwell farm extends clear through
Brown, Kewaunee and Door counties to
Deaths Door, and if this venture will
be paying one, there will be prospect
ing and test pits all along the line.

SUNSPOTS AND AURORAS.

There is now on the surface of the sun
an unusually large spot-the largest. says
Professor Keller, of the Allegheny OBJ
servatory, which has appeared for many
years, and which, apart from its enor-
nous size, possesses a peculiar interest
from the coincidence of its appearance
with the brilliant auroral display of last
Sunday evening. This spot which has
Just reached the center of the suns disc,
may be seen with the naked eye at sun
rise or sunset, when the light is sufficient
ly diminished by its passage through
great depth of atmosphere. or at any time
of day through a dark glass. 1t may
also be seen in the image of the sun FORM
ed when his rays are allowed to pass
through pinhole and fall upon sheet
of paper at a considerable distance, and
has in fact been frequently noticed in the
images formed by accidental apertures in
the window curtains, etc. Its appearance,
as projected from the eyepiece of the
great equatorial at Allegheny upon a
screen, is that of a gigantic whirlpool in
the brilliant envelope of the sun. Long
flaments of light project into it, curving
with spiral motion toward central
vortex. which appears black in contrast
with the dazzling brightness of the sur
rounding surface. Numerous smaller
spots surround the principal one, and
several smaller groups appear on other
parts of the disc. The area of the large
spot, determined from measurement of
the image, is in round numbers thous-
and million square miles.
Although the connection between the
sun spots and the various phenomena of
the aurora is one of the most occult and
mysterious in nature, that such a connec-
ton does exist has been confirmed by too
many observations to justify us in con-
sidering the tremendous disturbance in
the activities of the sun indicated by the
appearance of this spot and the magnetic
storm of the morning of the 18th as mere
ly chance condolences. Nearly every
exceptionally brilliant aurora which has
appeared has followed some such out
burst of solar energy. Both have prob
ably their origin in the same hidden
cause, which remains one of natures
deepest mysteries.

A CYCLONE AND ToRNADo.-The diff
ference between cyclone and a tornado
is defined by Mr.. William Ferris of the
United States coast survey to be this
ga cyclone is usually a broad, fiat, gyrat
ing disk of atmosphere, very much great
er in width than altitude; tornado is
column of gyrating air, the altitude of
which Is several times greater than its
diameter. Cyclones are born of condi-
tons extending over large areas; lorna
does depend rather upon the vertical re-
lations of the atmosphere, and occur
when, owing to local changes of tempera
ture, the under strata of air bursts up
through the everything strata. The enor-
nous velocities of the ascending currents
of tornadoes are supposed to be caused
by the difference between the gyrating
velocities above and those on the surface.
1t is these ascending currents which car
ry up the vast bodies of water afterward
precipitated in the form of deluge of
rain. The water is sometimes kept from
falling by the ascending currents. and is
often projected outside the area of the
tornado. when it falls in a gentle shower
over a large area. When the weight of
the water overbears the force of the as
cending currents, there occurs the ire
mendous fall of rain known as a cloud
burst. When the area of a tornado is
very small, land spout or water spout
may be formed. according as it is over
land and water The width of these
spouts ranges between two feet and 200,
and theif height from 80 to ], 500 feet.
A white squall is an invisible spout form
ed when the dew point is low. The ac-
companying cloud is invisible because of
its height, but below there is raging
and boiling sea, with gyrating current
of air above it. Land spouts and water
spouts are hollow.
