The resolution unanimously passed
by the Senate, yesterday, providing for
the appointment of special committee
TO consider the new state house matter,
merits speedy adoption by the House.
IT carries out the plan of action recon.
mended in Gov. Browns message, and
is thoroughly business-like way of
dealing with the subject.
The present General Assembly has no
right to take any action in regard to the
issue of bonds or work upon new cap
itol building without careful and ma
ture deliberation. The subject is too
large to permit of the General AS
eembly, as a whole, considering it in de-
tail. 1t must therefore delegate such
work to committee of the House and
Senate empowered to advise what ac-
tion shall be taken.
1t has been suggested that the state
house commission is entitled TO be en-
trusted with this work, but there is
actually no connection between the
commission and the present General
Assembly. Strictly speaking, this Gen
eral Assembly knows nothing Of the
existence Of the commission, for it's re.
ports were made TO previous legisla-
tures. Moreover, it is claimed by
many that the commission hav ing com.
pleted the work for which il was
created has no longer any standing, and
can have none until and unless revived
by enactment Of the General Assembly.
There are undoubtedly wide differen.
ces OF opinion regarding the proposed
design for a new state house. the
amount TO be spent upon the building
and the location of the site. These diff.
ferences must be overcome before the
work can proceed, and the proposed
committee will prove the best medium
by which plan of action satisfactory
10 the larger number may be obtained
1t is natural enough that the commits
sion which has already rendered such
valuable service in this matter should
desire 10 continue the work, and there
Is nothing in the proposition for this
special committee that suggests a re-

lar position of the planets. The reverse
of this is true. Spottedness Is the ma
tnral condition of the sun, and the OBJ
liberation of the spots Is result OF GER
tain position of the planets.
This idea has never entered the mind
of one of our university-taught astrOno-
mers has never before been presented
TO the public. II IL most important
point, and / want TO impress II on the
mind of my readers.
If there were no planets moving around
the sun, 1t would always be covered with
spots, because Its atmosphere would
be much less expanded than II now is.
When our moon Is near. or moving to-
ward perigee. we have the least amount
OF rain. because the atmosphere Is then
absorbing moisture. This principle can
be Illustrated by the laws governing
electrified bodies
Electricity evaporates all substances
a light charge evaporaics water cur
rents decompOse and carry away metals
and minerals. Static electricity remains
on the outside Of spheres, and when two
spheres approach each other. the electric
charge of each receles to the opposite
side of each, aud there becomes more
dense, deeper, of greater tension, and
therefore of greater effect In eyaporating
matter.
BY this law we see that the. suns
atmosphere expands, its cloud belts in
crease by evaporation, thereby cnyeloping
the sun spots holding from view the
dark body OF the sun, when the planets
approach the sun at perihelion-

He was at perihclion In 1882. and will
be at aphelion in 1898. Jupiter has more
influence Ia obliterating sun spots than
do any other two planets. His diameter
Is about eleven times that Of the earth.
