Big Figures Must BE Used in Discuss.
ing the Fiery Orb.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Sun spots were first observed in the
year 1911.
Sun spots always travel from east to
west across the suns disk.
The largest sun spot on record was
seen in 1858. 1t was $4,000 miles
across.
A writer in Nature says that the
temperature OF the suns surface can
not be less than $4,000 degrees Fahren-
heit.
In order that the reader may make
a comparison, l will say that a Bes-

about 5000 degrees.
1t is claimed that the sun't rays

RADLY DRAINED SECTION.

After every storm there is room for
complaint as to the bad state of affairs
on Hyde Park avenue near the Taber-
nacle Congregational church. There
are two man holes to the sewer at that
point and these outlets are forced to
take care of all the drainage of the
area between Hyde Park and Lincoln
avenues and Jackson and Washburn
streets. The overflow is great after
every rain fall and the streets are often
flooded. For the past five years coun-
ellis have been asked to remedy the
evil but something has always impeded
the improvement. The residents of the
locality are complaining and action
must surely result and soon, too.

ADVANTAGES OF THE FIVE PER
CENT DEBENTURE.


The late Nicholas FINER wealthy
tobacco manufacturer OF Middletown,
KY, on June 30, 1894, obtained a policy
in the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York for 100000, on the FIVE per
cent debenture, lO-premium plan, the
annual premium being SS,1SS.
The death of Mr.. FINGER makes this
policy a death claim with the following
results:
At the end Of each year the company
will pay $1,000 to the wife of the insured,
continuing such payments for twenty
years, then II she is still alive the COM
pany will pay the face value of the pol
icy-$l00.000. In case of her death be-
fore the end Of the twenty years the
company will continue to pay her rep
resentative the 5000 until the end Of
the twentieth year. when the full
amount of the policy will be paid, thus
making a total payment by the COM
pany to the heirs of the insured Of
100000.
The total amount Of premiums paid
by the insured was S2i. .S99, thus giving
net profit at the end of twenty years
of s175,6O1 over cost.
In other words. by the payment Of
s2i,S99 in three years, Mr., FINER has
secured for his family and heirs a stat
ed income of $4,000 a year for the next
twenty years, or five per cent invest
ment on the principal of 100000. which
remains intact until 1916, not subject to
loss by bad investment or depreciation
by the possible mismanagement of the
executors, administrators or attorneys
of his estate.
The widow and children are provided
with an ample and certain income for
twenty years, when the original $780,
900 insurance is paid over to whoever
is legally entitled to the same.

THE CEDAR KEYS STORM.

Jacksonville, Fla, October 2.-The re-
ports that have been sent out concern
ing the loss of life at Cedar Keys are
grossly exaggerated. 1t is so far pos
itively known that twenty persons have
been drowned in that vicinity. In ad-
dition to this it is feared the crews
of numerous sponging vessels were lost.
but as communication is still impossi-
BILE, any statement Of the probable num-
Der would be the merest guesswork.
In the interior of Florida the destruc-
tion of property was very great, but
no loss of life is reported. (signed) The
