JUST after our great fire citizen,
who was viewing the ruins, happened
to look up through the smoke at the
sun, mere red globe, and discovered
at once one of the much talked Of
spots of the sun. He described it as
appearing to be about the size of half
a dollar, as compared to four foot
diameter. Hereveled in the spectacle
quite while without the use Of a
smoked glass. Astronomers explain
that these spots are storms in the sun,
and that they are the cause Of the
cyclone epidemic on this planet.
These storms have been raging
about three months in the sun, and
many of them have been accurately
photographed, It's further stated that
these sun storms are very SS.!ss5rent
from what are actually experienced on
this mundane sphere, partakiDg Of the
nature of volcanic eruptiOas, Oausing
cavity or chasm of great width,
breadth and depth, which presents to
the terrestrial eye the "spots" on the
sun. The big spot now visible is COM
puted to be an eruptive chasm some
50,0OQ niles long by $4,000 miles wide,
and as deep as the qnfathOmable
ocean. The borders of this immense
ehasm are lined with,electric fire, and
it is this vast volume of fresh electric
force, which eYeFtg an influence upon
the earth, rather than Che ohasm or
black spot" itself. 1t is allvery sim
pie when you come to understand it;
but at the same time, the astronomers
and scientists who tell us what is
what, do not advance any cure or rem
edy for cyclones and atmospheric dis
turbances,

Matthew Webb,a noted English swim

Tuesday afternoon. He took the
course of the Maid of the Mist, a boat
that ran through the narrows and
the whirlpool many years ago
to escape an attachment.
He was nude, save band around his
body and had no artificial assistance,
and plunged boldly in halt a mile
above the whirlpool. This he reached
in thirteen minutes. He threw up one
arm aud was hurled into the pillows
which dash upward ierty or fifty feet
and seeth and lash with indescrib
able fury. This was the last seen Of
him. He was forty years old and
leaves a widow and two children in
England. He had accumulated about
$4,000 by his exhibitions.

guilty of embezzlement, sentenced to

in a back woods jury than some peo-
