Now, if we take the apr a. n. d aneter

Of this for the real diameter of the sun.
That, that is, in round numbers about
1900 miles. 1t is probable that this even
is an under estimate. What an enor-

tractive power of such masses would
make themselves felt powerfully upon
other planets. Besides, the motion of
such spots is in the wrong direction.
1t is pretty well established that these
spots are produced by electrical storms
in what is called the gaseous atmosphere
or envelope of the sun, producing great
chasms so that in looking at spot we
are looking down through "a funnel
shaped hole, or into the central vortex
Of a cyclone. These storms produce
cyclonic upheavals, and masses of solar

The Persian Monarch Badly Shaken Up
on Her Last Trip.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE steamship
Persian Monarch, from Mediterranean
ports, arrived Yesterday, and reported
having passed through the centre of a
cyclone when 900 miles off the coast.
The vessel was steamipg at the rate of
sixteen knots when the cyclone burst
upon her with violence that threatened
to send her to the bottom.
A few topsails which had been spread
an hour before broke from the caskets
and were split into ribbons. Great waves
were washed aboard, and tie vessel
made several revolutions, as if on pivot.
She was carried around in cirble and
pitched on her beam ends.
The engines were stopped by the vio-
lent pitching of the vessel, and she lay
to in the trough of the sea. All hands
aboard were badly shaken up. The
vessel was leaking when she put INTO
port yesterday.

EIGHTY YEARS OF AGE.
The Ex-Sheriff of Orange cornty, Mr.. J
III. Hughes, Died Yesterday.

The Ex-sheriff of Orange County, Mr.. J.
III. Hughes, Died Yesterday.
Died, at his home near Hillsboro. at
D o'clock yesterday morning, Mr..
Thomas Harvey Hughes. He was greatly
beloved and was widely known,
having been the sheriff of the old
county of Orange before Durham county
was created. Mr.. Hughes was in his
eightieth year at the time of his death,
the immediate cause being pneumonia,
resulting from grip, which seems so fatal
to our old people.
-Four years ago he was one of our SEN
atorial representatives in the state legis-
lature, and reflected credit on himself
and his constituents.
He was man with heart in him as
big as his body could hold, and it is be-
lieved that his soul was thoroughly fitted
for the final reward of the just.
To-day the funeral services were held
at Emo church, Rev. Mr.. Wilhelm, the
Presbyterian pastor of Hillsboro, off,
ciating. A large crowd of his friends
were present to pay their last tribute of
friendship.
He died with "the white flower of q
blameless life'' upon his character, and
left behind him a record that any man
should be proud to leave after him.
He was my friend, and my fathers
friend before me, and it is with grateful.

Ready for the Attack.

A young Malay officer on the coast OF
India was one night returning from in
specting an outpost when he began to sus-
pect that a tiger was following him. It
was dangerous to proceed, as any minute
might bring an attack in the rear, and so
he paused and made what preparation he
could for the encounter. He had a sword
at his side and creese in his beta
weapon resembling dagger.
Having scraped away the earth to give
himself firm footing, he knelt on one
knee and kept a sharp lookout, knowing
the beast was near. Soon he perceived the
animals glittering eyes, and knew it must
be creeping toward him like a cat.
The moment Of suspense was a terrible
one, but at last it ended, and the brute
made its spring Its charge was, however,
received on the creese, which went through
the animals breast, stabbing it to the
heart, so that it fell MORALLY wounded.
In its dying struggles it tore the flesh
from the young fellows arm, but did him
no mortal injury. AS for the victor. he
calmly rose and went into camp to report
his second tiger slain that year.-Youth's
Companion.

Making Writing Easy.

1t is always a task for traveller to
write home. The jar of the cars, the
uncertainty of boats equilibrium and
the constant lookout for sights and
novelties make writing almost bugbear
to travellers. 1t is difficult to write even
a postal card.
Approaching this need for something
to assist the tourist in his home letter
writing, "down east" Yankee has had
several thousand postal cards printed
like this:
DEAR -: l am well and hope you are well
also. | reach - next -. Address me there.
Remember me to -. The weather is -.
am having - time. Must stop now. -
Yours, -.
The cards have not been placed on

hopes great things from them.-New
