in the Golden state, it appears that San
Diego has cast her eyes eastward and is
considering the advisability of allying
herself to the budding state of Arizona.
Tired of playing second fiddle she asks
to be allowed to depart in peace, to as :
sumo a place as the only seaport on the
only harbor of the Sunset Land. Ari-
zona would be more than willing, and
will extend the glad hand whenever as
surance is given that the deal can be
made a go" We need a harbor, and
Yuma very lily answers the purpose.
Perhaps the consolidation would effect
the building of that long delayed rail-
road, on the line of the ancient Scott sur
vey, connecting Phoenix and San Diego.
Perhaps the population of San Diego,
something about 10000, added to Ai;-
zona's 10000, would be sufficient to push
us over the borderland into statehood.
Yet San Diegans should contemplate
the fact that it is doubtful whether
theirs would be the queen county of the
new state. Maricopa county, wherein
is situated the capital city of Arizona.
already has population of about 0,002,
a population, too, that is rapidly growing
and which prospers in one of the richest
agricultural valleys of the world. But
this same district, aided by direct line

The Presidents BaYs Toia In

1T does not pay to look gift horse in
the mouth" is an old maxim, but in the
case of President Mckinley this SAYING
can be doubted in regard to a pair of bay
horses which have been drawing the
White House turnout since March of
this year. When the campaign was at
a fever heat last fall an enthusiastic
Mckinleyite vowed if the man of his
choice was elected president he should
have the best pair of bay horses that
money could buy. Everything came
out all right and in due time the horses
made their appearance as promised
But they have not proved a success as
stayers and their speed has been likenei
to that of cold molasses.. While the
bays were standing in frorS of the White
House a few days ago an experienced
horseman analyzed their condition in
the most critical manner and found
them unsoUnd in wind, sprung in the
knees and altogether unfit for a presi-
Dental turnout. Neither of the horses
stands in an easy or comfortable posi-
ito and both have tendency to toe in
ward like some pigeon-toed schoolboy.-

who was first to announce the existence
of such a layer from observations made
in 1870, and Prof. Lockyer, the distin-
guished English solar physicist. Prof
Young holds that the gases and metal
vapors that envelop the sun and give
rise to the dark Fraunhofer lines which
cross the solar spectrum are all situated
at low level in the suns atmosphere,
forming the lower stratum of the "chro-
mosphere"-the gaseous shell which en-
closes the sun, and which becomes Wis
ible at the time of the total eclipse as
rose-colored ring of light surrounding
the dark moon and out of which arise
the solar 'prominences." Lockyer
holds that these gases are situated at
various levels, and that there is no
single layer of the suns atmosphere
which is entitled to be specially dis
tinguished as reversing layer" Each
thinks that the photographs sustain his
view and hopes the next photograph will
be conclusive.
Prof. Lockyer expects to be among the
observers of the coming eclipse, pro-
vided with Photographic cam
era twice as powerful as has been used
heretofore. The systematic and scien-
tific study of eclipses began with that Of
August IS, 1868, which was the most i'm

the spectroscope, was used in observa-
tions, and the true nature of the mys-
terious red flames that had been noticed

next January's eclipse of the sun will

eclipse will not be visible in America
but will be visible as a partial eclipse
over the greater part of the eastern con-

about fiftyseven miles wide, beginning
in the heart of Africa, crossing the Ara

dred and fifty miles south of Bombay.
and passing thence in northeasterly

A Hermit in a Big City

Various indeed are the ways in which
eccentric people indulge their little pc
culiarities, but a decidedly original
manner has been adopted by an old lady
living here. On one of the grand boule-
wards stands house with closed shut
ters and fastened door. Scarcely a sign
of life is there about the place, and the
house has remained in a similar state
over quarter of a century. The own
er is an old lady, who, on September 4,
1870, the day on which the republic was
proclaimed, resolutely determined that
no one affected by republican ideas
should ever cross the threshold of her
dwelling. To avoid any such dreadful
contingency she simply declined to al
low any one inside, and has refused all
offers to hire either apartments or the
shop below. The only time she breaks
through her hard and fast rule is when
workmen are permitted to enter in or
der to carry out repairs. Painters, car
penters, locksmiths and masons once a
year in turn invade her privacy and
make good any damage. To relatives
whose political tendencies are the same
as her own she is particularly gracious
but at the death of each one an apart
ment in the building is sealed up, and
now all are closed barring the very
small one at the back of the house,
which the anti-republican hermit re-
serves for her own use and that of her
three servants. This strange behavior
on the part of an old lady has repeated
y excited comment, and numerous have
been the attempts of people to gain an
entrance by some rise or of her All

New York, Dec 14.-One Of the largest

is now to he seen uy anybody who will

to diameter estimated at 100, 900 miles,

There is little or no doubt that it nIay-be

and it is highly probable that small tele-
scopes will be able to see 1t for many DAYS
to come.
Sometimes the spots remains visible
for several rotations Of the sun, which
are accomplished in about twenty. five
days each. The spots begin near the
SUMS poles and make their way toward
the euuilateral region. They traverse Il
region about corresponding to that where
the trade winds are felt on the earth.
They are never seen at the poles or the
equator. The great spot now visible is
near the equatorial line.
Contrary to some prevalent notions the
appearance or the great spots and large
number OF the spots should be welcomed
rather than looked upon with trepidation
by tho Inhabitants of the earth, for they
are evidence that the mysterious energies
of the sun are working full time and not
Sinking, and consequently that the earth,
may expect reasonable temperature and
weather conditions, instead of the violent
and detestable, or at least detested, UNI,
seasonable extremes from which we of
The earth suffer when the SUMS energies
reduce their operations to half power or
thereabouts.
Prof. Garrett p. Serviss, the astrono-
mer. who has had his eye on their out
ward and visible manifestations for n
good while, in common with other as
tronomers, says that. these--spots are not
eruptions, like earthquakes. They are

is tile diameter OF the whole, the penum-
bra included, that is estimated at 100, 600
miles.
This spot. having been of gradual
growth Mr.. Serviss thought there was
little doubt that some effect of it had been
felt OH the earth already, although he
had heard OF none reported. The diff

thought, we're magnetic or electric dis
