The Auroras and the sun.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16-Professol
William Hardness of the United States
naval observatory, i'll speaking to a re-
porter about the brilliant aurora bore
ais Saturday night, said that although
the sight was very fine, yet the grandest
display of the character he had ever wit
messed was in 1856, when the lights were
seen as far south as Havana. Many
theories, he continued, have been adj
vanced as to the cause and extent of the
auroras, but after all it is pretty much
guess work. 1t would seem easy enough
to determine whether the lights are visi.
BILE at the north pole as they are visible
at the south, yet this point has never
been settled. If the theory that the
lights are caused by electric currents
thrown off from the poles be true they
should be visible both north and soutl
simultaneously. We have records o
observations as early as SOP, | think i
is fact that auroras come III cycles, sa,
every ten or twelve years, and the cleo
trio hypothesis is the usually accepted
one. 1t is possible, yes, | will say prob
able, that more auroras will come III tn,
near future. The recent magnetic dis
turbances We're so great the magnetrom

The Tariff Bills.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The ways and
means committee will report three tariff
bills to the house during the present
week. This much was determined upon
at meeting of the Democratic majority.
The measures to be reported are the
Springer free wool bill, the Bryan free
binding Irvine bill and the Turner bill,
placing cotton ties, cotton bagging and
machinery for making the same upon
the free list 1t is probable that there
will be an interesting struggle between
the tariff bills and the Bland free coin
age bill for precedence i'll the order OF
consideration in the house In fact, the
struggle has already begun. With silver
out of the way, public attention will be
concentrated on the tariff bills and by
keeping that question before the public
steadily, its prominence will be much
greater than if the silver bill We're sand
wiched between them. In this view
they are supported by II very considera
BILE number Of men who are i'll favor OF
making the tariff question paramount t.
the silver issue and in this class of mem
beers are some of the ways and means
