RHODE ISLAND AT THE FAIR.

Below we print a list, not yet com

will be represented by exhibits at the
Worlds Fair. 1t is splendid list and

The firms which have already arranged
for exhibits, and applied for space,
include some of the very largest in their
respective classes, not only in Rhode
Island but in the world, and the vastness
of their operations will open the eyes of
the Chicagoans. The Gorham Maufac-
turing Company is household word. If
all Rhode Island were cotton patch il
could not furnish cotton for b.

can Screw Company is famed in two
worlds. The mills of the Blackstone
valley are immense. The Rumford
Chemical Works. the Rhode Island
Horseshoe Company, the Rhode Island
Locomotive Works, the j. & p. Coats
mills, the Woonsocket Rubber Company
and many others are firms of vast finan-
cial and industrial importance.
The list, as said, is not complete.
But so general and so keen an
interest is shown that it is safe to
prophesy representation of Rhode
Island industries far beyond what might
have been anticipated. No space
Is assigned separately to the in
lustries Of the State. They have
to take their chances with the
others. Nor is it possible TO state in de-
tail what these firms are doing. That is
a matter which those interested natur-
Ally do not care to discuss. But so great
Is the demand for space that other firms
wishing representation will do well to
make the fact known at once.

The Providence Journal thinks it has
demolished Tom Reed by stating that
he ''consorts" with Quay, Clarkson and
Platt. Republicans differ. Mr. Quay
is indeed professional politician, but
Mr.. Platt is successful and honorable
business man, president of a great ex-
press company, and Mr.. Clarkson first
won fame as the editor of great Re-
publican newspaper which didn't prove
traitor to its principles eight years
ago. Perhaps there's the rub.

Abraham's Oak.

The old oak at Mamre in Syria, or,
as it is known everywhere, "Abra-
hams Oak" is one of the most
famous and venerable trees in the
world. 1t is reverenced alike by Jew,
Christian and MIahometan, for it is
supposed to mark the spot where the
patriarch pitched his tent in the desert
There is a superstition in Jerusalem,
and in all the country about, that who
ever shall cut or injure this tree will
lose his first-born son. So for CEN
turies it has been allowed to toss its
gnarled and contorted limbs in the
gales which sweep from the Mediter-
ranean over the Syrian plains.
This tree was visited by Sir Joseph
Hooker in the autumn of 1860; and in
his paper upon Syrian Oaks, read the
following year before the Linnean
Society transactions, xiii. }, he gave
a description of it and portrait drawn
by his own hand.
Abraham's Oak was found to be-
long TO Quercus pseudo-coccifera,
which, to quote from Sir Joseph's pa
per, sis by far the most abundant tree
'iA Oh5h ONiia, SOfNilhS bhO iOShN
hills, of Palestine especially, with a
dense brushwood of trees eight to
twelve feet high, branching from the
base, thickly covered with small ever
green rigid leaves, and bearing acorns
copiously.
On Mount Carmel it forms nine
tenths of the shrubbery vegetation, and
it is almost equally abundant on the
west banks of the Antilebanon and
many slopes and valleys of Lebanon.
Owing to the indiscriminate destruction
of the forests in Syria, this oak rarely
attains its full size" The circumfer-
ence of the trunk of "Abraham's Oak"
is given as twenty-three feet, and the
diameter of the spread of the branches
as ninety feet.
Quercus pseudo-coccifera is an ever
green species with the general appear
ance of the lex of Southern Europe,
and closelj- related, botanically, to Q.
coccifera, a common and widely dis
tributed scrub oak of Southern Europe
and of Algeria; indeed, Hooker was
of the opinion that the two plants were
merely geographical varieties of the
same species.-Ganlen and Forest.

Told Nv Old soils Face

I The most pronounced effects OF q
solar disturbance are felt as it appears
bv the suns rotation cn its axis ana rs
the disturbance crosses the suns laer-
idian. The six and q half days be-
tween appearance by rotation and mer-
id;an passage are marked by storms,
auroras, heat or earthquakes. AFTER
meridian passage the storm influence
of solar disturbance appears to cease.
In this use of the word storm all the
other pheno mena are included. All
are kindred. When solar disturbances
follow each other in rapid succession
the storm period is prolonged. Inc
effects of solar disturbances which
break out on the suns hemisphere
tirned towards us produce sudden and
powerful effects in our atmosphere.
Storms known as cloud bursts have
been most frequently noted in connec-
ton with these sudden outbursts on the
guns face. AS rule the marks or
solar disturbance cannot be seen until
the storms on the earth cease. The
spots form after the storm-producinG
eruptions.
Tornadoes arc more numerous dur
ing periods of violent solar agitation.
The number and violence of tornadoes
are directly proportional to the num-
ber and violence of solar disturbances.
Observations made during the past
winter and spring show that solar dis
turbances are in some cases not marked
by spots until a month or two after
the eruptions begin. Fifty-two days
after the great storm of Jan. 9 and 10,
1889, spots appeared by the SUMS rota-
ton. Spots also appeared by rotation
fifty-two days after the great Samoan
hurrican of March Is and 16, 1888,
which wrecked several men-of-war iIl
the harbor of Apia. This disturbance
on the sun was followed upon reap
pearance on May 90 and 80 by the
floods which wrecked Johnstown, Pa,
and drowned Williamsport, Pa.
When solar disturbances become OBJ
scure, their storm action can be traced
by counting the twenty-six day period.
The solar disturbances which caused
severe and widespread storms during
the first eight months of 1889 are now
obscure, spots being rarely seen. But
there is evidence of some activity at
the seat of the disturbances. When
ever violent action is resumed, our
atmosphere will be vexed in proper.
