which concern themselves. and naturally if they

persons ridiculous by too much attention.

A NOVEL CONTEST
Twenty-seven GIuttOns Eating Pie for
Prizes.
From the Detroit Post and Tribune.

From the Detroit Post and Tribune
large and considerably excited crowd of
probably 900 people blocked Woodward avenue
in front of Mabley's stores last evening to see
the prize pie-eaters in his show windows tackle
go pies. A large squad of police was required
to keep order The entries for the novel contest
were twenty-seven in number, and they COM
prised motley set of men, both white and black.
The signal for the feast to begin was given at
seven O'Clock. when the group pitched in, each
grasping pie. and eating like mad. The first
pie went down satisfactorily all around. and
bets were made on the contest. None OF the
pIe-eateTs heSitated at the second round. but
when the third pie was reached. two of the con-
tastants. whose capacity was not equal to tine
fuliililnent of their desires. weakened and drop
ped ont of the race. When the third pie was
down. the men began to lose their appetites and
the contest assumed serious proportions.
Several founderef before they were able to
master the fourth pie. The darkeys worked
their jaws increasingly like clock-wOrk. and the
pile OF pies before them disappeared with regu-
larity and dispatch. Only three Of the original
twenty-seyen who entered showed up at the
fifth round. and two of these showed marked
WEAKNESS from degutitOn. The other man
had the air of one who felt confident In his
ability to stow away all the pies Mabley could
bring on. He got away with No. 5, but before
tacklinI the sixth took off his vest and unbut-
toned the two top buttons OF his trousers
There was now but four minutes of the hour
left in which the contest had to be finished He
gnlped dOwnthe last fragment of the sixth pie
and Selling the seventh shook it at the crowd
Waiting moment to collect his thoughts, then
realizing he had but two minutes left him, the
darkey took the pie in both hands and went at
it as though he hadn't eaten anything for a
week. The crowd rOared with laughter as the
last vestige of the pie disappeared. leaving the
fellow winner of the first prize. he having dis

and as he emerged from the window perspring

The Green Sun.

Further particulars recently received concern
ing the green sum- seen in india and South
America at the beginning of autumn confirm
the first reports which indicated that it was one
OF the most remarkable of natural phenomena
observed in many years. 1t is now learned that
the sun appeared discOlOred throughout CeylOn
as well as in southern India. and that in South
America the phenomenon was observed on both
sides OF the Andes over an extent OF country as
much as Il thousand miles square. In South
America the sun retained its singular hue only
one day, the I'd OF September while in India
and CeylOn the discOOratiOn lasted at least four
days-frOm September to September H. In
other respects the appearance seems 30 have
been nearly identical in both places. the hue of
the sun changing from green to blue accOrdn"
to its elevation above the horizon. All OF the
reports speak of the alarm excited among tine
people 10y the strange color of the sum- MANY
thought that the end of the world was at hand
The green appearance of the sun when close
to the horizon. which has been observed in the
Arctic region. has been cited as parallel case
but it really has few points of resemblance to
the phenomenon under consideration. and is
evidently the result of different causes. So far
as the evidence now obtained goes. it appears
that the recent discOiOratiOn of the sun was due
to the presence in the atmosphere Of some gas
eOus matter. or exceedingly fine dust, but the
question is, whence did it come? There aretwo
facts which may help in obtaining an answer;
the phenomenon in both the eastern and
western hemisphere was seen in the neighbor-
hood OF the equator and in both cases in cOun-
tries which are either the scene of volcanic out
bursts and earthquakes, or which lie in the
neighborhOOd of great centers OF such disturb
anceS.
The suggestion that vapors belched from the
Javan volcanoes during their tremendous erup-
ton at the end OF August may have caused the
sun to appear green or blue in India and Ceylon
offers reasonable explanation as far as it goes,
but then what was the cause of the similar phe-
nOmenOn in South America, where. 80 far as
is known no great volcanic eruption has occur
red? The old earth has yet few mysteries left.
