Siz, of Sun-Spots.

A single spot has measured from
10000 to $4,000 miles in diameter, in
which, as will be readily seen, we could
put our earth for standing point of
observation, and note how the vast
facular waves roll and leap about the
edge OF the spot, and also how the
metallic rain is formed from the
warmer portions of the sun. In June,
1S43, a solar spot remained q week
visible to the naked eye, having a
diameter of about 1900 miles; and in
1887 cluster of spots covered an area
of nearly 1000, 100000 square miles.
When we call to mind that the smallest
spot which can be seen with the most
powerful telescope must have an area
of about $4,000 miles, we can readily
see how large spot must be in order
to be visible 10 the unaided eye, Faster
off, in 1928, measured spot whose UNI
bra had an extent four times greater
than the earth's surface. In August,
1858, q spot was measured by Newall,
and it had diameter OF So, 900 miles
more, as you will sec, than seven times
the diameter of the earth. The largest
spot that has ever been known to
astronomy was no less in diameter than
1853, 800 miles, so that across this you
could have placed side by side eighteen

The Crane Crop,


The grape crop of the United States,
not spoken of as leading staple Of
agriculture, is really becoming so to an
extent that appears to be, as yet, little
understood or appreciated by the
miscellaneous public. Its real import
ance, however, was recently shown by
n remark made by a leading and in
fuential European connosseur in wines
who had been travelling through the
grape-growing districts of the United
States, to the effect that he was satis-
fed that our American wines ought not
to be rated as inferior to the cores
ponding classes of foreign wines, and
that he believed that in the course of
time their excellence would be fully
recognized and established all over the
world. Aside, however, from this
judgment, the culture of the grape as
fruit for edible purposes has made i'm
mense progress in the New England
and Middle States and in the
West, and, although as yet we cannot
say that these grapes are equal to the
fine imported articles from Southern
Europe, they are certainly very much
improved in quality and abundance as
compared with the grape used for the
same purpose in the same regions
fifteen or twenty years ago. The manu-
facture of wine from American grapes
has improved so much in the hands Of
the German, French, Spanish and
Italian capitalists who have established
themselves in this business in America,
that since the grape disease began tc
prevail in Southern Europe large guam
titles of American wine are used by
foreign manufacturers. Germantown

STRAW IN THE OHIO WEATHER
NAP.

4 bending oak shows which way the
wind blows.
A straw shows it much better.
JOHN SHERMAN was the oak of the
Ohio Republican convention. He was
also a straw.
As the oak he managed to stand stiff
and conceal the bent of his mind amid
all the infiuenceso OF the political weather
about him.
As the oak SHERMAN was calm aud
confident.
-As the straw he was swept by the
Ohio breeze, completely disclosing the
direction ofthe wind.
We propose to deal with the straw:
Senator SHERMAN's political astute-
ness is above par in Ohio. What
SHERMAN does not know about Ohio
politics is hardly worth the seeking.
His judgment of the political situation
aud prospects in that State is worth
more than all the balance of the poll
ticianS. SHERMAN has given more
than ordinary attention 10 shaping aud
studying the coming state campaign.
He knowsthe party prospects and the
party dangers.
SHERMAN knew beyond a peradven-
ture that he could have the nomination
for Governor for the asking-yea, for
the consenting. All opposition would
have been withdrawn and the conven-
ton would have given it TO him by ac-
clamation had he given MS assent.
SHERMAN knew also that to become
the Governor of Ohio would have given
him an immense stride to the goal of
his ambition-the presidency. 1t would
have made him at once the foremost
man in his party aud in tue next na-
tional convention. IT Wa his special
desire and his chief labor also to give
the coming campaign n national char
aCter. He sought to make the contest
on national ISSUES. His whole plan OF
operations has been directed to this
end-tO give his State an increased in
p~Ortance in the national convention to
enhance his W chances for the presi-
dency.
Why then did not the cunning SHEER
MAN accept the nomination?
Why would he not prefer to be Gov
ernor of Ohio in loo4 than a Senator
from that state, although the term of
the latter is a tritle longer.
Does any one, for a moment. suppose
that if the willy Senator'S view of the
political Horoscope was favorable to
Republican success in Ohio next
tall that ne would have thrown away
the opportunity of appropriating the
credit If that victory all to himself?
When the willy Senator played the
oak before the convention, he was
much of u mystiIier, but the little straw
turned By the breath of his d~eClinatiOn,
shows more accurately and uumistaka-
bly, the state OF his political barometer.

GOING ABROAD FOR SECOND CLASS
SERMONS.

Several Journals throughout the
United States are printing on Monday
morning the sermon preached by Mr..
STURGEON in London on Sunday. of
course il is cabled to them.
The inducement is not so much in
the value set upon Mr.. SURGEONS
sermons in this country! nor is it be-
cause We have to go to London to get 3
first class sermon. The REGISTER
prints q better sermon every Monday
morning than is preached by SPUR
GEON, and nine readers out of ten
would prefer to have Mr.. TALMAGs'S
sermon which the REGISTER gets from
Brooklyn than the STURGEON sermon
which is called at great expense from
London.
The papers which print Mr.. SPUR
GEoN's sermons are prompted more by
a spirit of enterprise in furnishing rare
matter than by any other motive. The
criticisms upon the SPURGEON sermons
are not flattering. For example, here
are the comments of the st. Louis Re-
publican:

presence and manner Of speech and
personal magnetism, so called, make
his preaching acceptable and effect
i've among those who may listen
TO his voice. But printed and
spread out in cold columns any
thing more dreary than this cabled
sermon is indispensable. No news
paper in this land worthy the name
would print one "stiek full" of 1t II it
we're laid on the editors table free OF
cost. 1t is a bold piece Of humbuggery
to fill up the page of a paper with such
matter and attempt to make a spread
over il, because it has been cabled
across the Atlantic. 1t is a deprecia-
ton of journalism, and an insult to the
intelligence of readers to engage IN
such triekery. 1t is offensive to char
latanry. 1t is in fact a trifling with a
subject which ought to be dealt with
respectfully. III a fraud is 10 be prac-
ticed on the public, at least let 1t be in
connection with things pIofane and

TUE point is raised in Cleveland that
the muniticent requests made to public
institutions there by the late AMASA
STONE are invalid, because of n statute
declaring void all such requests in cases
where the bill has been made more
than a year prior to the death Of the
testatOr. This is no doubt a wise pro-
vision of the law, and ought to have
been known to Mr.. STONE. The cXecu-
tors Of the estate, however, authorize
the announcement that the wishes Of
Mr.. STONE will be complied with, not
withstandiug their i~nvalidity in law,
and without regard to the amount
which the estate may realize upon set
tlement. II it should not amount To
the sum specified-as is probable in view
of recent losses-the family Of Mr..
STONE will pay these requests out Of
their own share of the property. Il is
a remarkable case of generosity on their
part, and deserves public acknowledge
ment.

The RELATION OF THE NEW TAR.
IFF To WAGES.

The annual contest over the scale Of
wages in the iron manufactures has
been settled, and satisfactorily, We
think, for another year.
But a discussion of the relation of the
new tariff law to the rate Of wages is
still going on.
One Ofthe Chicago iron manufacture
ers having ascribed the depression Of
the iron business to the slight revision
Of the tariff, the TrjjWIc of that city re-
plies to the statement in a few pointed
facts. The tariff on pig iron, the great
staple OF the iron manufacturers, it re-
minds its readers, will he reduced the
lSt OF July barely ~ cents a ton. 1t is
now - a ton, and will then he $50 "A
diminutiOn of less than 3 per cent.
And this reduction was relied upon by
the Chicago manufacturer to justify Il
cutdOwn in wages of from 10 TO -
Ter cent. But the Tribune points
cut that the manufacturers be-
gan to reduce wages long before
there was any prospect that the tariff
would he revised. The Iron and Steel
Association told the truth when it stat
ell that the iron market had been tend
ing downward for more than a year,
regardless of the tariff, a. the effect of
OverprOduction, resulting from I'M
natural conditions of manufacture.
"The conclusive proof adds the TTT-
Glgc, that the revision of the tariff
had nothing TO do with the fall in the
msrketprice of iron, or the closing of the
iron mills, OF the loss of employment to
the men, is the fact that the iron mills
Of this country, in their cut-throat COM
petition with each other, have got prices
down so low that English iron cannot
be brought here and sold with the
American article. At the present prices
of iron and steel, the tariff is prohibit
tory"
