Some one said he was right, and he
continued.

Mysterious Cold Spell.
70 m fha KayU York Sun

The cold spell about the 18th, 18th, and 18th
of May. which was very distinctly marked this
year, Is one of the most singular OF meteorolo-
gical phenomena. The observations Of many
years have furnished strong evidence that 1t re-
ours yearly and extends over the whole
northern hemisphere. and probably over the
southern hemisphere also. After the discovery
that there are rings ofmeteors revolving around
the sum- some Of which intersect the orbit OF tho
earth, 1t was not an unnatural suggestion that
the cold spell In May. and q few other similar
depressions In temperature, might be caused BIZ
the interposition Of huge swarms Of meteors be-
tween the earth and the sun, whereby q por-
ton Of the suns heat would be cut OF Mr.
Proctor has recently made an interesting argu-
ment In favor of this theory, but It seems to be
teors dense enough to cut OF q considerable
portion of the suns heat. passes between the
earth and the sun every May it should cut on
light as well as heat; but there is no evidence
that the cold spell in May is accompanied by
any diminution Of sunlight Besides there are
certain hot spells which have also been sup
posed to recur with more or less regularity
every year. and generally speaking q theory
which accounts for the cold spells ought to &C
count for the hot spells also. This the meteoric
theory fails to do, for 1t will hardly be asserted
that there are so many meteoric swarms be-
tween the earth and the sun that only on q few
days In each year, when there happen to be no
meteors i'm the way, is the full power OF the
suns radiation felt upon our globe
Still. if these spells Of abnormal temperature
really recur every year. and are felt simultan.
eousiy all over the globe. IL is difficult to see
how they can be accounted Tor except on the
hypothesis of q general cause completely over
riding the ordinary laws of meteorology. There
seems to be no reason whatever for looking to
the earth itself as the source of these changes
and the cause producing them cannot reside In
the atmosphere alone The rushing OF the
earth through the ether Of space might possibly
have some effect upon our atmospheric con-
ditions. but 1t could not account for the phe.

Sullivan has again proved himself terror.
Mitchell INDUCES in good deal Of fighting talk
about his anxiety to meet Sullivan again, but 1t
is all talk. Any man who saw Sullivan knock
Mitchell spinning over the ropes half q dozen
times the other night at the Madison Square
Garden will be apt to receive with q good deal
OF incredulity the statements Mitchell is now
making. He says, for instance, that he was not
SO badly off as Sullivan was when the police in
terfered and stopped the fight. The fact is, the
police interfered to save Mitchell from being
knocked out if not killed. The thing that caused
the Interference Of the police was when Mitchell
crawled up In front Of the Boston champion in
the middle Of the third round and received q
blow that knocked him spinning over on the
ropes so that he hung like dish rag. The police
had some difficulty In getting Sullivan to let
Mitchell alone, but when he came to his senses
he was the first to offer his hand to the English
man. The Englishman seized the hand and
staggered down of the stage. Sullivan took q
deep breath and smiled confidently ct
Sullivan Offering his hand hrst proved he was
getting the worst Of it. This IL the height of
sarcasm. see there IL movement on foot to
get another match up between tho two men, In

policy for him to make any more mistakes such
as he has made in the case Of the Coaching
Club This club, which is by all odds the most
aristocratic in New York, had its annual outing
few days ago, when the members drove down
to Mr.. William K. Vanderbt's place on Long
Island. It Is drive of ffty-One miles, with
five changes OF horses, and is altogether o most
enjOyabletrip. Among the men on the coach were
Messrs. Roosevelt, Parker, Havemeyer, Jaw,
Fritsche, Schermerhorn and Bronson. Decorous
and well w0rded reports Of the trip appeared in
nearly all the morning papers. The World dis
tinguished itself by heading its story "Cockney

accused the members of apiIg the English and
Of all sorts Of Alterations. Everybody in New
