-marvels and the feast
OF wonder, out of West and East

The practical effects of increased So
lar activity upon the earth, so far as
they can be inferred with any degree of
probability, are not entirely simple
THAT the magnetical and meteorol0g-
zeal processes of the earth are most pro-
nounced when there are most sun
spots" as Prof. Balfour Stewart con
cludes, is safe working theory most
consonant with facts, and, if true, it in
dictates that at such times the suns IA
diation is most intense, As the earth
may scientifically be viewed as a vast
engine, of which the sun is the furnace,
the equatorial belt the boiler, and the
polar regions the condensers, Professor
Stewart forcibly suggests that one of
the first effects of increased sun heat is
an indraught of "a particularly strong
and cold polar current" This would
be induced by the expansion of the
tropical atmosphere forcing its currents
into the Arctic area. But the ultimate
effects upon the earth of increased Their
NAL radiation from the sun must neces-
sarily be an excessive evaporation from
all water surfaces, with an excess of
moisture in all the winds reaching us
from the tropics, which cannot but
temper the coming seasons in the mid
die latitudes.
If any utilitarian application can be
made of modern solar researches the
observations of the last twelve months
now foreshadow a moist but moderate
spring, rather early in point OF temper
ature, though agricultural operations
may be somewhat retarded in some sec
tons by profuse rains. Should this
prove to be the general character of the
spring the summer of 1884 would open
without the drawbacks to vegetation of
very chilly spells and incipient droughts.
and we might hope for more fruitful
season than that of 1888. TO anticipate
long reign of halcyon weather would
be delusive dream. But with the
abatement of the suns activity, which
we have now reason to look for, it is not
wholly presumption to count before
long upon period of comparative ter
restrial repose. Y Herald.

Gov. Click at Solomon City.

Gov. Click spoke to an outdoor crowd
numbering about 500 people at Solo
mon City last Tuesday evening. A
speakers stand had been erected on the
north side of the new hotel, and seats
placed in front of it. But not more
than one-third of the crowd found sit
ting room. The Abilene delegation,
with big bus load from Enterprise,
drove into Solomon City something
more than 100 strong, with torches
burning and band playing. 1t was a
big feature of the evening. Gov. Click
was entertained by DR.. o. F. Serl at
his handsome residence. The Gov. was
serenaded there and escorted to the
speakers stand by the band and about
100 torch bearers. There was no at
tempt at street parade. Gov. Click
was introduced by c. n. COggeshall,
chairman of county committee, in a
short but eloquent address. The Gov
ernor's speech was telling one and
was enthusiastically received. The
meeting was a pronounced success. No
political gathering in Solomon City was
ever so largely attended.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1884-09-25

Mr.. BLAINE states that he was mar
ried in Kentucky in 1850; that subse-
quently he had doubts of the legality of
the marriage and was remarked in Pitts
burg, Pa, in March, 1851. Now, this
statement will of course be satisfactory.
But it will always seem strange to most
people that a man of Mr. BLAINE'S sup
posed great intelligence, contemplating
the very serious matter of a secret mar
riage, should be ignorant of the laws of
the state in relation to marriage. 1t
will seem strange to most people that
the witnesses of that marriage should
allow it to be illegally cOnSummated,
