DENSE FOG.

Yesterday morning about o'clock there was dense fog, and the sun looked like a large red ball. A number of people stood on the street corners and gazed at a large black spot on the suns face. A great many thought it was star, but it was the spot which Observer Colton, of the Link observatory, discovered on the 9th inst. The spot is mostly penum bral, the nucleus being small. The extreme length of the spot is about 6S,000 miles.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
Which, But for Effective Work of the North Side Department Would Have
 Proven Serious-A Long Run

At an early hour yesterday morning fire was discovered in the three-story brick block on Twenty-fourth street be- tween Fourth and Fifth avenues. A tel ephone alarm was sent to the North Sid 3 department and with their usual alacrity, they responded and after hard fight saved the structure from being complete ly gutted.
 The first floor was occupied by the Bir- mingham Health Food company, recently established and 1t was here the blaze was discovered. The loss on this floor to stock and contents is estimated at $500. Damage to building $300
 The fire, by heroic efforts was kept in this part of the building, and fortunately, too, as the upper floors were occupied by people in ordinary circumstances and they could i'll afford the loss of their prop erty.
 A LONG RUN.
 Exactly at noon yesterday box ', corner Thirteenth street and Eleventh avenue, was pulled and the North Siders again re- sponded. The run was a long one, as the fire was in the residence of MT. Sam Min gea, on Eleventh street, between Eighth and Ninth avenues. The department arrived in time to prevent much damage.
 Tine recent work of the Birmingham fire department proves the State Herald s assertion that Birmingham has the best fire chief and men in the United States.
