the sun north Of the equator is evidently
potent factor.
Yet, while Prof BIaEuov's studies seem
10 promise 90 much light on the mysterious
subject Of the suns influence over the
weather, very discoursglDg statement
comes from one Of the most famous men Of
science now hving-Lord KELVIN. whose
old and best-known title IL Sir WILLIAM
THOMSON. Calculating the amount Of work
that must be done on the sun In order
to produce magnetic storm OF no very
great severity on the earth, such as that OF
June IS. 1885. for instance. Lord KELVIN
finds that IL amounts to 100 million million
million million horse power This is se4
times the total horse power OF the solar
radiation. Thus" he says, lin this eight
hours OF not very severe magnetic storm
as much work must have been done by the
sun In sending magnetic waves out In all
directions through space as he actually does
In four months OF his regular heat and
light. This result, IL seems to me, Is abso-
lutely conclusive against the superstition
that terrestrial magnetic storms are due to
magnetic action OF the sun; or TO any kind
Of dynamlcal action taking place within the
sun. or In connection with hurricanes In his
atmosphere. or anywhere near tho sun out
side. 1t seems as II we may also be forced
to conclude that the supposed connection
between magnetic storms and sun spots is
unreal. and that the seeming agreement
between the periods has been mere CO.
incidence"
But mysteries and difficulties have never
permanently arrested the advance OF sci
ence; on the contrary. they have always
lent zest and strength to its pursuers. So
those who are not content to take the
weather unquestioned as IL comes. but
Insist on knowing the secret Of Its vaRariee.
may still cherish the hope Of broader knowl-
edge yet to be won.

A Royal Commission. headed by the Duke

evidence regarding the conditions Of labor.
gathered not only from the United King
dom. but from all parts OF the civilized
world. Two reports have ct last been pub
hshed. that OF the majority. signed by
some twenty-five members of the COM

scribed by Mr.. ToM MANN and two or

ton IL not defined. and that. therefore. the

Of the laws above named TO laundTtes. and

sorry on each workshop owner to obtain
> certificate OF the sanitary fitness not
only Of his own premises. but also OF the
workshops OF his outworkers. especially

also ls accused Of ambiguity. on the ground
that the phrase " workshops OF outwoTkers"
might not be construed to include the
homes In which great part OF the work In
thsso-ealled sweating trades Z" Is done. An
amendment OF the Merchant Seamsn's act
Is also urged. SO that the wives OF ssamen
may receive their husbands pay fortnightly
on allotment notes to the extent Of One-half
OF the pay due. On behalf OF agricultural
Worknsn 1t Is suggested that the State
should lend money to landowners for the
purpose OF building lAboreFs' cottages.
Finally, to reduce the friction between
employers and the employed. the majority
OF the Commission recommend the promo
ton VI voluntary boards Of Cancellation and
arbitration. and the nomination of aTbitra-

The minority report expresses the be-
