Storms on the Sun.
New York Sun, l4th.

New York Sun, 18th.
For the last two days the sun has
presented a remarkable spectacle
when seen with powerful telescope.
When the clouds cleared away on
Monday morning. the roundj shining
disk appeared crossed through the
centre by row of spots, several of
which were of large size. All gave
indications of violent disturbance, es-
pecially an elongated group near the
eastern edge. Yesteray this group
had advanced so far upon the disk
that its internal structure was clearly
dlscernable. 1t consists of a great
number of enormous chasms of vary
ing sizean the most irregular shapes.
These chasms are collected into two
adjoining clusters, and around them
the surface of the sun is heaped up
into the fiery mountains which the
astronomers call facule, and which
are continually changing in form and
position. In places the sun looks as
if gigantic solid shot had plunged in
to it, leaving great, gaping, ragged
holes in the shining disk. But to
have made some of these holes cam
non shot as large as the earth would
have been required.
In day or two, when it will be
further advanced upon the sun, this
huge group of spots should be easily
seen, without telescope ofany kind,
in the shape ofa black speck on the
sun, as if the god of day were wear
ing bit of court plaster on his shin
ing face. In making such observa-
tions the eye must, of course, be pro-
tected by dark glass. A smoked
glass will do, but it is much better to
employ two deeply tinted glasses of
, Complementary colors, such IS red
and green, or deep blue and yellow.

How the Bird Flies.

The London Engineer, in a review
OF the various flying machines that
have been invented, comes to the
conclusion that a successful one is a
physical impossibility, and that the
attempt todevise one must be classed
with such delusions as the search for
the philosophers stone or the secret
OF perpetual motion. No combina-
ton of wings will enable man to fiy
till he can WELD them with as much
muscular power to the pound of
weight as bird exerts in flying. If
a man had in his legs the muscular
energy and leverage of a flea, he could
jump mile in three leaps, and if his
arms had in proportion to weight the
driving power of a wild pigeons
wing, he would have no use for rail-
ways or balloons. The transportation
problem would be solved. Moving
himself so easily and swiftly, he
would not need to move anything
else. The albatross, weighing twen-
ty-eight pounds, can keep its wings,
thirteen feet from tip to tip. in mo-
ton all day, while the strongest man,
weighing six to eight times as much,
would exhaust all his strength in
keeping even an albatross's wings in
motion half an hour. 1--WE have in
the bird" says the above-i1amed pa
per" "a machine burning concentrated
fuel in large CRATE at tremendous
rate, and developing a very large
power in small space. There is no
engine in existence, certainly no
steam engine and boiler combined,
which, weight for weight, gives out
anything like the mechanical power
exhibited by the albatross." Conse-
quently no machinery yet devised,
can operate wings with sufficient
power to sustain its own weight in
the air, and there is no known ma
chinery by which man can WELD
the force necessary to fly like bird.
Kelley's alleged discovery, or some
new process of storing and exerting
great electric power in apparatus of
light weight, might supply the def
cheney, but sience has not learned
how to develop in inanimate ma
chinery anything like the mighty
nervous energy which acts in the
bones, sinews and muscles of living
birds wing.

ana smooth, and if their colors are
properly matched, they will show
the sun of its natural hue, but robbed
OF all its glare, so that its surface can
be scrutinized at leisure. Used with
a good opera glass or a powerful spy
glass, such pair OF colored glasses
will serve te reveal many interesting
thing in the sun that will surprise
the unpracticed observer.
Great outbursts in the sun are gen
orally accompanied by auroral dis,
plays, and sometimes by violent mag.
netic storms. The memorable auro-
ras of last year. which crippled the
telegraphs all oyer the northern hem
lsphere, occurred while groups of
spots like those now visible were
passing across the SUMS disk, and it
would not be surprising if in a few
days we should have another display
of the SUMS strange electric power
over the earth. Thewwh0le- subject,
however, is involved in mystery, and
the laws that govern it remain to be
discovered. The researches of mod
ern astronomers have shown that
outside the round globe of the sun, as
we see it, there is an enormous en-.
velope of matter, greatly exceeding
in bulk the visible sun, and intimate
~ connected with it. What the con-
stitution of this great envelope of the
sun is, how far it extends eastward,
how it is affected by outbursts in the

parts it plays in the suns influence

Sensible Girls.

A number of sensible Maine girls

tract from the article of the associa-
ton show that their ideas on the SUBJ

clear, and greatly to be commended

Lincoln's Soft Side.

Col. Lew Weitzel relates the fol
lowing incident in President Liu=
coins career. which he believes has
never been made public before: "Af=
ter the fall of Richmond and the f1igbs

brother Godfrey was placed in charge
OF the city. His headquarters were

coin arrived the day after the oceu-
patton and called at the Capitol, and
several officers, among the number
myself, accompanied him through
the building. When we reached the
cabinet-room my brother said "Mr.
Lincoln, this is the chair which has
been SO long occupied by President
Davis" He pulled it from the table
and motioned the president to sit
down, Mr. Lincoln's face took an
extra look of care and melancholy.
He looked at it moment and slow

1t was an hour of exultation with us
soldiers; we felt that the war was
ended and we knew that all over the
North bells were pealing, cannon
booming, and the people were deIir-
lous with joy over the prospect of
peace. l expected to see the Presi-
dent manifest some spirit of triumph
as he sat in the seat so long occupied
by the rebel government; but his
great head fell into his broad hand.
and sigh that seemed to come from
the soul OF nation escaped his lips
and saddened every man present.
His mind seemed to be travelling
back through the dark years of the
war, and he was counting the cost in
treasure, life and blood that made it
possible for him TO sit there. AS he
arose without a word and left the
room slowly and sadly, tears invol-

Slugged by the Slugger.

Congressman Ochiltree is a fruitful
source of the best stories that are told
in and out of Congress. Recently,
when heand the pugilist Mace were
both staying at the st. Charles Hotel,
New Orleans, he remarked to friend
that the ''slugger'' did not look to be
a very quick man, and finally made a
bet of a basket of wine that he could
give him blow and escape punishl
ment by instantly apologizing, before
the fighter had time to put up his.
fists. Accordingly, Ochiltree ap-
preached the champion of the ring,
and without a word struck hiin on
the nose with his open hand. But,
before he could open his mouth to
utter the apology, the bystanders saw
a vision of a fiery red head and mus
tache. and nice new dress suit pre=
sumed to inclose the figure of man,
knocked from the end of the bar
through the folding doors out on the
sidewalk. Ochiltree was at once pick-
ed up and repaired by his friends.
Then they assisted him into Mace's
presence; and he explained that he
had tapped that worthy's nose mere-
ly to carry out wager, and said he
was sorry-which was quite evident.
