Tho Marvellous Eject Of Sun Spots on the
Prices OF Grain.
For some years past there have been
few subjects of astronomical study SO
interesting, and none that has been
pursued with such diligence, as that of
''sun spots" While little has been
really learned as to the cause or nature
Of this periodic. measley condition Of the
solar orb, very much light has been
gained as to its effect on matters ter
restrial. Indeed, it has been found
that few natural phenomena transpire
that are not more or less affected by
the so-called sun spots.
One Of the most novel discoveries yet
made in the realm of sun-spot science
has just been laid before the world by
Mr.. Frederick Chambers, of Bombay,
India, whose researches have devel-
Oped the fact that the fluctuations in
the prices of food grains in that coun-
try correspond to the regular variation
which takes place in the number of the
SUMS spots during the same period.
Mr.. Chambers has been able to formu-
late the following law upon the sub
ject: Tho lowest prices occur from
three to five years after the year of
maximum sun spots, while the highest
prices occur from one to three years
preceding the year Of minimum sun
spots.
Ii this rule holds good for India it
will probably be found to apply to
grain-growing countries generally, and
the discovery Is an important one. 1t
will work II revolution in grain specu-
lations. The Board Of Trade man will
no longer need to consult market re-
ports, study the condition of growing
crops, and guess as to the proper dis
count to be made upon the lugubrious
complaints of the grangers. His course
will hereafter he to master the In.
tricacies of sun-spot science; to ascer-
tain whether 1.-THE sun-spOt curve" in
the particular period he is operating In
is regular; whether the interval be-
tween maximum and minimum spots
is of the average length; in short, to
search out many of the mysteries Of
'.sun-spot waves" and cycles which
have as yet eluded the keenest efforts
of science to solve them. In order ia
pursue his BUSINESS iVelligently. the
grain man will Eai & telescope ALSO
lutciy Essential to his 'souttit, and VI
may expect to see every chamber Of
commerce provided with an observa'
tory containing one of these instru
ments for the free use of its members
In view Of this contingency our new
Board of Trade building will have tht
usual Chicago advantage over all othel
competitors In that its lofty tower will
be cminently suited to the uses Of an
observatory. But the operator who
shall be able to have an observatory or
his own house and to provide himsel
with his own telescope, will possess ar
obvious advantage over his poorer
neighbor. US he will be able to pursue
his study of sun spots at every favor
able opportunity. The man Of scien
tific tastes will be likely to lead in tn,
new method Of grain-dealing. - Chicag'

The Bible is still, as some one has
said, the latest book out, and in it's
perusal a larger enthusiasts can be
aroused than in the study Of any other
literature. We look to see a general
popular revival Of the consecutive read
ing of Gods word. and without doubt
it will be most beneficens one. The
Old and New Testaments can be read
through in one, two, three or four
years of longer or shorter daily read
ings. The plan pursued by the ''King's :.
Household of Daily Readers" whose
headquarters are in Philadelphia, ia
perhaps the best. They read carefully
and studiously through the Scriptures
in four years. And an excellent four
years course of study it is StaadQrt.

PROTECTING IRON.


- TEVCcbo W ubCu Will k-Fev0ub tu0 k1uSt-
ing Of Gas and Water Pipes.
The liability Of iron to rust is great
drawback to its use for many purposes,
and the practical value of a process
which will protect it at slight expense
is self-evident That the process is
successful in accomplishing this object
seems no longer a matter Of doubt, and
at less cost than galvanizingO or timing.
The color on cast and wrought iron Is
blush gray, which to some may be
Objectionable, but, as the coating takes
paint far better than untreated iron,
this objection is easily overcome, and
with the assurance that the paint will
remain, and not soon be thrown off, as
it is generally. For polished work the
color is lustrous blue-black, adding
greatly to the beauty of the article
treated. This process seems peculiar
~ well adapted for gas and water
pipes. Any one who has had occasion
to use water which has passed through
new iron pipe, or one that has not
been used for some time, knows how
full of rust it is, and that only after
months of constant use does it become
clear again. With pipe coated with
the magnetic oxide by the Bower-Bar
process, no trouble Of the kind can oc-
cur. The water runs pure from the
first day, and If for any reason the pipes
are emptied, and left SO, there is no
danger of their becoming coated with
rust. Another important fact is. that
the water coming through one of these
rustless pipes is just as pure as when 1t
entered, for the water can dissolve
none of the coating of oxide, as it al
/, ways does with lead or galvanized
pipes. 1t is q well-known fact that
water running through lead pipes is
very apt to contain lead in solution,
and the continued use Of such water
causes lead-poisoning, for although the
amount (of lead) dissolved may b
very small, still il accumulates in the
system, and finally causes sickness and
disease. s. c. Wells, IN Poptlas
