When the Stars Fell.

The recent eclipse was discussed in a
crowd of old-timers the other day, and
it was uaanim Iusly admitted that
whenever anything unusual occurred
in the heavens il impressed the be-
holder more than any other phenOme-
nOn. From the subject of eclipse the
conversation turned 10 comets and me
teOrs, and the big shower Of falling stars
in November, 1898, was referred 10 by
one Of the takers.

not to be forgotten in a hurry, and the

in Henry county, and was fast asleep
when the shower came.
my father had gone that night to a
eUrn-shueking, and knew nothing about
the trouble until he started hOme. He
was with friend named Jones, a msn
of religious turn of mind, and when
the stars commenced cutting up their
eapers my father was anxious to reach
home as soon as possible. But Jones
was frightened out of mis- wits, and got
down on his knees by the side of the
road to pray. Ii was no Use reasoning
with him. Every hundred yards or
80 he collapsed and dropped on his
knees. He had a powerful voice, and
his lamentations and shouts made the
woods ring and added to the horrors of
the night.

grand and awful, and the heavens
seemed to be filled with millions ofsky
rockets. Streams Of IRE rolled in every
direction, and the stars, or meteors, fell
like flakes of snow.
Nothing like it had ever been seen
by ths people then living, and they
were badly scared. The negroes set up
the most unearthly yells and hOwls, and
from every cabin might be heard
snatches of prayer and religious songs.
Many of the spectators believed that
the world was coming to an end. and
they were in frenzy Of terror and ex-
eitement.

lieved, but there was very little work

Sun Spots and Society.

"What Is an Aurora?" Is the title of
an article in the Century by Alexander
McAdie. The writer says: On the
first day of January, 1892, DIR. Brendel
and Herr Rsschen reached the Alten
Fiord, Lapland, to remain several
months, studying auroral displays and
magnetic disturbances. Brendal sue
ceeded in photographing the aurora, a
very difficult thing to do, as all who
have attempted it know. The deep
reds, which are so beautiful to the eye,
make little impression on the photo
grapher's plates, and the light itself is
generally feeble and fiickering. Not
usaptly have the quivering auroral
beams been called "merry dancers"
Even the bright displays are hard to
photograph, as we may see from an
entry in General Greeley's notebook on
January q, 1882. IA most beautiful
aurora" he says, "with intense light,
at times sufficiently bright to cast my
SAtNoW Ou ttlC SiiOWs tsiCc ca Poocu u
sensitive plate without effect, but the
constantly changing position of the
aurora may have been the cause"
But, some one will say, photograph
ing an aurora, while interesting from a
scientific standpoint, is not very mo-
mentous matter TO men or nations.
And We make haste to answer that
these auroral displays are linked with
phenomena which have very practi-
cal interest. Long before the now
well-known relations of solar phenom-
ena and terrestrial magnetism had
been determined, Sir William Herschel
thought he could, from meager data,
detect evidence that the price o. wheat
was generally higher at times Of few
sun-spOts- In later days we have STAN
ley Jevons tracing a connection be-
tween financial crises and sun-spOts,
to host of writers tabulating the allied
phenomena-of auroras, sun-spOts,
magnetic disturbanees-and tracing in
their periodicities a close relation to
famines, commercial crises, and alb
normal weather. What a wonderful
achievement it would be 10 foresee the
veal and woe of decade,
While such relations are conjectural,
there is little doubt that auroras and
solar and magnetic disturbances are
closely linked. They do not come and
go by chance. The astrophysieist
knows that these phenomena will be
very numerous in 1903. He knows
that similar condition will not again
occur until 1915, the mean period being
eleven years.

Still the Champion.

They had been telling stories, and
the man from the north had listened
attentively without betraying any de
sire TO break in until they had made
up their minds that he had never OBJ
served anything at all extraordinary
in the whole course Of his life.
Then he suddenly spoke up.
Speaking of cold"-he began. Up
to this time the weather had not been
discussed at all, but, Of course, that is
the usual way of starting a real good
story in some parts of the country.
Speaking of cold" he repeated af-
ter pause to make sure that he had
not forgotten the story, when | was
up among the Eskimos / found that
things froze so tight and solid that it
was customary to build fireplaees and
stoves of snow and ice"
The man from Kansas breathed
hard.
"Do you mean to say" ne asked at
last, "that you actually started fires in
stoves and fireplaces made of snow?"
Certainly" replied the man from
the north.
"Now, do you know, | never would
have believed that if you hadn't told
me?" said the nan from Kansas. al
read about that in a newspaper little
while ago, and said to mself that if
could only find out who wrote it I'd
hire him as press agent for a boom
town, for l made up my mind he was
surely one of the most artistic liars
that ever got the attention of report
er, but if you assure me that you
know of your own knowledge that it
is absolutely true, why, that's differ
ent."
The man from the north WINGED a
little when the kansan spoke of hav-
ing seen the story in a newspaper, but
that was all. He insisted that there
could be no doubt as to the truth of it..
"Why, I've actually seen them do il
myself" he said. "You see, the snow
freezes up so hard that the hottest kind
of fire won't begin to melt it under
six months"
THAT settles it, returned the man
from Kansas. "My last doubt is re-
moved, and / want to say that it is the
most remarkable thing ever heard OF
with a single exception"
whats the exception" asked the
man from the north.
"Why, out where | live in Kansas, y
explained the Kansan, 'It gets so hot
during the month of August that we
actually use fire for refrigerating pur
poses"
1t was decided without debate that
the man from Kansas was still entitled
to be known as champion.-ChicagC
