ROAR OF SUN SPOTS.

Interesting Experiments ON the Subject In
This Country and England.
Nothing has been heard lately OF
Mr.. Edison's attempt to make the roar
Of sun spots audible by means of an
electromagnetic device connecting the
earth currents with telephone, re-
marks the,NewY Y ork Sun. The idea was
that the impulses believed to be trans
mitted from the sun to the earth
when great spots are forming on the
solar surface might be translated into
sound waves, thus, in sense, en-
abling us to listen to the voice of the
god of day when his temper is dis
turbed.
Recently an experiment of similar
nature has been tried in England by
w. 81. Preece, and apparently with sue
cess. During the magnetic storm of
last March, which seemed to be con-
nected with distur Dances in the sun,
telephones were inserted in some of
the principal telegraph circuits, and
they gave out various sounds. Some
times the noise was like the twanging
of musical strings or wires; then again
it resembled whistling. Some observers
heard reverberations in the telephone
like the rumbling of heavy carts. Oc-
casionally, high-pitched notes and
screeches were emitted, followed by
low musical sounds like the laps Of
waves upon the beach.
While these strange noises were given
forth from telephones attached to tel
egrapb ines-one was the Liverpool
Hamburg wire-auroral lights, white,
green and rose-colored, were seen in
various places playing up and down the
sky, and the earth appeared to be
tingling with electric currents.
Evidently there is still a great oppor-
tunity for discovery connecting the
origin and nature Of such magnetic
storms and their relation, if any. to the
sun. So far speculation has held the
field in this direction, but a few facts
are beginning to emerge, and any day
a brilliant discovery may illuminate
the whole mystery with flood of light.
Then, perhaps, we shall know whether
it was the earth OF the sun that made
Mr.. Freezes telephone sing and
whistle and shrek, while the heavens
shimmered with light that was not of
the stars.

An architect who became acquainted
with the facts in the case solved the
mystery. He said the oscillation Of
the building counteracted and stopped
the swing of the pendulum. The
pendulum couldn't work with any
regularity so long as the building was
nodding around in the changing winds
like q cat-tail before summer zephry.
$50 the tall buildings do swing back

Certainly; but don't be afraid;

ROUTED BY A JERSEY HEiFER.
The Experience of Connecticut's Naval
Reserves In Their First Field Day.
The first division of the naval militia
Of the Connecticut national guard had
its first field day few days ago and
made its first public appearances The
regulation working uniform of the
organization, the only one in the state,
made a creditable appearance under
command of Mr.. Reynolds. After
target practice, says New Haven dis
patch, the division was marched to an
open lot at the base of East rock for
drill, and was commanded by Ensign
Goodridge. The company drill was
gone through with, and, with the divi-
sion formed in double ranks, Ensign
field at double time. Half way across
an innocent looking Jersey heifer,
tethered by long rope to q log of
wood, was munching fresh daisies and
buttercups.
On came the naval reserve, bearing
down on the heifer in beautiful order.
When about one hundred feet away
the heifer raised her head and looked
at the array of white suits and glitter
ing arms coming toward her. First her
delicate ears moved forward, then there
was defiant shake of the head and
distention of the nostrils, followed by
an elevation of the tail until it assumed
a position on line with her spine, the
end waving like flag of warning.
Then, lowering her horns to fighting
position, the heifer, with loud and
angry below, came toward the young
navy men. Ensign Goodridge saw her
coming at aboat the time that the men
on a line with the heifer began to waver.
He called a halt, and his men came to a
standstill at the same moment that the
heifer was brought up at the end of her
rope only four feet away.
The young Jersey was game, and for
a moment stood watching the reserves,
paving the earth and shaking her
sharp horns at them. Then, with
bound, she came on again, dragging
the log of wood and prepared to do bat
tie. "Backstep," came the order from
Ensign Goodridge, and backstep his
men did in lively order, soon getting
out of range of the heifer's horns. AS
soon as order was brought about in the
ranks the naval reserve were marched
into the city, leaving the pretty two
year-old Jersey to enjoy her daisies and
buttercups unmolested.

HELPING HAND MISSION.

A Dangerous Grade Crossing That

The Helping Hand Mission will give a
spread tonight to some of its year old
converts. Mr.. Crocker has adopted the
plan that when a convert has stood the
test OF six months he shall be given
a spread at the hall. The exercises
generally include a place OF honor on the
platform, bouquet and the relating
OF his experience. 1t is repeated on the
anniversary and each year after tonight
there are three men and one woman who
will occupy the place of honor as year old
Christians, and probably two more will
enjoy the mark of honor for the
first six months. On these occasions
every cne is welcomed and the
hall is generally packed. Mr.. Crocker
finds that the people there are interested
in the work and it is only necessary to
mention the occasion to have supplies
sent i'm. Tonight coffee and doughnuts
will be served.
A Dangerous Crossing.
The Grove street crossing of the Con-
solidated and the Pascoag division OF the
New England, will some day give us an
other railroad horror. There are four
tracks there, it is a grade crossing and
there Is curve on each side
that shuts out the view OF the
coming trains. To make matters
worse there is steep rise to the cross
ing and with a heavy team there is grave
danger of getting stuck on the track.
Such an instance occurred recently when
large oil tank drawn by four horses got
caught. Had train come
along there would have been
trouble. OF course there are gates
but in such case they are OF no account,
and even where there are gates the Fall
River accident proved that the danger of
grade crossings Is not removed. There
has been one accident there since the gates
were erected and there may be more. 1t
is one OF the most dangerous crossings in
this vicinity both from its locality and the
amount OF traffic, and.will probably furnish
at some time the scene OF an accident.
Minor Locals.
The sleighing outside of Olneyville
toward Silver Lake or Pawtuxet is fine,
and many parties are taking advantage of
il.
The Temperance Cadets were obliged TO
postpone their sleighride on account of
the weather, so they will hold it tonight
They will enjoy supper and dance at
their hall on their return.
The Cleveland Club will hold a social
tonight.
The meeting OF those who were invited
to consider the question of organizing the
new labor party will occur Sunday after
noon at Brownson Lyceum Hall in Provi-
dcnce. On this occasion there will be a
doorkeeper and only those invited will be
admitted.
John II. Fox has been confined TO his
home on Hyatt street for several days by
illness.
