SAN Francisco, Feb. I1.-Dispatches
from the observatory at Harvard Univer-
sity state that the sun spots are used as
basis for the prediction of great storms
and general atmospheric restlessness on
the earth's surface. Such theory is
ridiculed by. Professor Davidson. Speak
ing of the matter today. he said:
st is impossible to say there can be
affinity or resultant atmospheric activity
of the earth's atmosphere. We GER
tainly have no reason to fear storms or
anything of that sort. These solar dis
turbances are something difficult to
image. Our earth could be dropped
into one of those depressions on the
SUMS surface with no more effect than a
scuttle of coal might have if similarly
thrown in. They tried once to prove
that Indian typhoons were the result of
solar disturbances, but they had to give
it up, for they had no proof"

Jumped into the River.

NEW BRUNSWICK, n. j., Feb. IL
George Baier, a prosperous German
baker, committed suicide this morning
by drowning. He sought the top of the
cliffs one mile below the city and took a
plunge of 100 feet into the Raritan river.
Some fishermen found the body late in
the afternoon. Baier went to Germany
three years ago. He was then reputed
to be single man, but on his return he
was accompanied by woman and three
children. The woman claimed to have
married him ten years before. Baier's
wife admitted when the body was taken
to the house that she had frequently
quarreled with him, and that the suicide
was doubtless the result of a. quarrel
which they had had on Sunday.

Governor noies. Sad Mistake.

DUBUQUE, Ia., Feb. 11.-Goyernor
Boies' silence on the silver question at
the Denver banquet last night is called a
fatal blunder by this evenings Tele-
graph, which has been an earnest sup
porter of his claims to the presidency.
It declares that Governor Boies' ayaila-
bility depends on ,his ability to command
the support of the friends of free silver.
Having forfeited their support at Denver
last night, he can no longer be regarded
as presidential possibility.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE late coup of
President Mcleod is the greatest in the
history OF railroad fnanciering and
makes the Reading as strong corpora
tion as there is in the world The gross
receipts of the Philadelphia & Reading
system will hereafter be 500, 100000 an
nually, and the number of it's employees
will approximate 10000, being more
than is employed by any corporation on
this planet. 1t is now plain what was
in Mr.. McLeod's mind when he acquired
the Poughkeepsie bridge and the lines
tributary thereto, which, through
the Reading and its entire argumented
systems, goes into the very heart of New
England, giving it the only all-rail route
from the middle and southern states to
the east, with connections with all the
important New England roads, and en-
abling it to virtually control the coal
traffic of that entire region. Mr.. Nc
Leod has had in this matter the hearty
support of A. ]. Drexei and the banking
house with which he is connected, of
John Lawler, J. R. Maxwell and George
F. Baker and the New York Central
people who have secured the largest
holding there is at present of the Della
ware, Lackawanna. & Western railroad.
the success of this combination, backed
by the strongest financial institution in
this country, is assured.

: Tale of western Life.

Peter Nelson, Il Swede, was on his way
through the woods of upper Michigan,
when he met with a peculiar adventure
He had horse and buck board and was
armed with Winchester rifle. While
jogging along he heard noise in the
bushes and stopped to investigate. A
short search discovered two bear cubs p!ay
ing. Thinking he would like to capture
them alive Nelson tried to seize them. but
they ran away. Nelson started in pursuit,
throwing aside his rifle as he.ran. He sue
ceeded in heading off one of the cubs to-
ward the road, when he heard crash be-
hind him, followed by an angry growl
turning, he behald TO his horror the
mother of the cubs. All thoughts of the
cubs vanished; he thought only of his own
safety. He ran TO the road, and reached
1t Just in time to sc his horse make a mad
dash up the road
His only chance row was a tree, and for
tunately he ''shiIned up" one that was
large enough to sustain his weight, but
too small for the bear to climb. However
the bear made many desperate attempts to
reach the man in the tree, who now wished
that he had not thrown away his rifle. To
add to his distress smoke began to fill the
air, and he realized that a forest fire was
approaching. Presently burned leaves and
cinders fell in the tree, and Nelson could
stand it no longer. The bear and her cubs
were underneath the tree, where the smoke
was not so thick. Opening his pocketknife
the man slid down the tree and started to
run. He would have escaped, as the bear
followed in slow, half hearted way. but
he stumbled and fell. As luck would have
it he fell on his Winchester, and when the
bear came up he was ready for her. Two
shots finished her. and then he killed the
cubs. By this time the wind shifted and
the unlucky Traveller proceeded on foot to
his destination, where he found his horse
and blackboard aw aiting him.

Which Is the Coolest Day

1t is agreed that June 81 is the longest
day of the year, and Dec. 81 the shortest,
but 1t is not so easy to say which is the
coolest. However, observations carried on
over long series Of years appear to show
that Jan. IA (St. Hilary's Day may be re-
garded as the coolest day. 1t has proved
itself TO be the coolest day in many of the
famous frosts of history, though, of course,
there are plenty of exceptions to the rule,
as we have recent Y experienced. Some
times the coolest day occurs in December
md sometimes in February. June "a is
midsummer day, but it does not follow
that it is also the hottest day.
