Prof. Birkeland thinks he has made
most interesting astronomical dis
covery. Dark spots on the sun have
been noticed since the year 1910. They
appear to the extreme left and pass
across the face of the sun to the right,
and disappear. Careful computations
show that the sun makes a revolution
in rs rs days. The spots appear on
either side of equator, between S and
30 degrees north or south, and they
are sometimes large enough to be seen
with the naked eye. It has been no.
tlced that the spots increase and de-
crease during regular periods of about
II 10 years. What Birkeland claims
to have discovered is this: When few
planets are located in the same direc-
ton from the sun as the earth, the sun
spots are small and rare; when many
planets are located in the same direc-
ton, the sun spots are large and num-
erous; and when the maximum num-
Der of planets are grouped together in
the same direction from the sun as the
earth, the sun spots are at their maxi
mum in size and numbers. From this,
Prof. Birkelund concludes that the
spots on the face of the sun are con-
trolled largely bp the attraction of the
planets.

ital. A mass meeting appointed a

ter to get new men to fill the places OF
the strikers.

Politiken contributes the following
flowers to the glory of the kings OF
Denmark: '"The monarchs which have
been sent to us by the wrath Of heaven
have, as a rule, been abnormal from
birth, and they differ among them
selves only in the smaller or greater
degree of their dangerousness to their
surroundings" The fact that no one
in the kingdom of Denmark tries tc
spoil the pleasure and the good appe.
tite of the editor of Politiken, shows
that he is justified in making another
remark, which is of more general
character: 1.-THE constitutional mon.
arches are really only bastard compro-
misses between the pure monarchy and
the republic"

ADULTERATIONS.

Out of something like 100 samples Of
vinegar analysed by the food and dairy
department in the last month one sample
was found Of pure cider vinegar made Of
apple juice. There were a few samples
OF white wine vinegar that purported to
be nothing else. All the others were
limitations and authorizations.
Doubtless more cider vinegar made
from apples could have been found if the
department had been looking for the
genuine article instead of seeking VIOLA
tlons of the law. But the fact remains
that there were all these specimens Of
bogus vinegar and as many more as any
body chose to collect
