.PORIO RICO,

1t used to be Porto Rico in the spell
ing of this country, but since we be-
came more learned in Spanish there has
been an effort to make 1t Puerto Rico.
1t now appears that the United States
government does not care to be as Span
ish in spelling Porto Rico as it has
been. 1t was the Geographical Board
which first recommended the Spanish
form, Puerto. The House adopted this
spelling, but the Senate dropped tho ue
for o; and now that is the official style.
Let us go back therefore to good old
Porto Rico 1t is easier and looks more
natural. And as Porto Rico is to have
a nice new government with nothing
Spanish in 1t the time is appropriate
for dropping the extra Spanish out of
the spelling in this country.

SKILIEUI.

1t is pleasing to see the maneuverng
of a man who knows how to treat a
mentioning properly. Secretary Long
has been mentioned for the Republican
nomination for President, and
when his attention was called" to the
matter this is the skillful way in which
he dealt with it: THE vice-presidency
is not an office to be sought, or to be
declined unless one has some positive
objections to the place, which / have
not. / have not supposed that New
England man would be considered in
connection with this office because that
section is so strongly Republican, but
as there is difficulty about New York
candidate, there seems to be a sugges-
ton that I might be acceptable. Under
these circumstances feel it only proper
to say that If should be nominated l
would not decline the place. No party
managers have consulted me, and my
statement has no bearing on the candi-
dacy of any one else"
That's the way to talk No blunder-
ing there. If Secretary Long isn't
nominated it wont be because he isn't
a man of tact.

THE COTTON MINIS,
stresses

The decline of the cotton industry in
New England hasn't shown itself lately
in the vicinity of the Amoskeag mills at
Manchester, New Hampshire. These
mills have just declared an extra divi-
dend of Is per cent. This is additional
to a quarterly dividend of per cent,
making distribution of 20 per cent. for
the first four months of the year. The
company paid 8 per cent. throughout
last year and per cent. in 1898. Its
lowest rate In recent years was the
per cent. paid In 1894.
This is cheering, but one swallow
doesn't make a summer, and several
swallows may not make a very warm
summer. The cotton industry is grow
ing with great rapidity in the South,
and there are indications that it may
soon be overdone. If it is the New Eng
land part of 1t may suffer more severe
ly than 1T has suffered in other depres-
sions. During the first three months of
this year twenty-three new mills were
started in South Carolina alone and six
teen In North Carolina, while Georgia
reports thirteen. OF d total estimated
capital involved in the cotton mill pro-
jects of the last three months, amount
ing to $12,755, 900, New England is cred
tied with $S00,000 the Middle Atlantic
States with $550,0O0, the West with
100000 and the South with $1l,245,o 600
The current increase in the spinning ca
pacity of the country is at an enormous
rate 1t is calculated that the South
will add 100000 to the number of its
spindles this year, representing an in
crease of some so per cent. for that sec
ton.

The first year of Georgias new con-
Wet lease system came to a close April
/, and the exhibit is highly satisfactory
to the State authorities. The report of
the year shows that the new system has
brought into the treasury 5000, 3S9.13, not
including a clear profit of $4,000 on the
prison farm at Milledgeville. OF this
amount 100000 was appropriated to
meet the expenses of the department,
although not all of this appropriation
is needed, leaving at the lowest figure
a profit to the State of $4,000 in year
as result of it's experiment. Under
the old lease system, by which the State
practically sold the convicts, labor and
all, to the lessees, the annual profit
amounted to $4,000 and seldom exceed
ed $4,000. The system which went on
trial last April took the actual control
of the convicts out of the hands of the
1essees the State retaining this control
by the employment of guards not under
the direction of the lessees only in
business way. The men are clothed and
fed by the State, and all the lessees
have to do is to point out the work for
the convicts to engage in.

Still expanding. March expectations

BILE the average for the month Of March

The total exports of the month, as

Bureau Of Statistics, are $134 ,313,34S,
against $1045596S9 in March Of last
year, $75,574,1S5 in March, 1896, and $685.
516,571 in March, 1898. Thus the expor-

double those of March. 1898, and twenty
five per cent. greater than those of
March Of 1899. Indeed the reports of the

WHERE LEGENDS INGRDR BISHOPS REONDER
REPLIES TO HIS OLD FRIEND
"CACAETHES SCRIBENDI."

But Confirms the Principle of His ORR
ginal Thesis-Sun Spots.

EDITOR STAR: 1t is a pleasure to
have elected the really valuable scien-
tihc erudition of my old friend
"Cacoethes Scribendi." Unlike him l
have not a single volume of reference
at hand and have depended upon we'll
remembered facts and illustrations oc-
casionally published in Mature" and

S. will not deny that spectroscOpic
views of the suns limb have abund-
antly shown the frequent eruptive foun-
tains of which l wrote, nor that tele-
scopic views of sun-spots exhibit dis
tinct appearances of cataracts of fire
plunging into a dark vortex.
G. 5. makes the eminent Princeton
astronomer expressly admit 'eruptions
in their neighborhood" to be the cause
of the spots, which accords with my
statement.
Undoubtedly the spots are sinks in
the photosphere." But how the enor-
nous outward pressure of eruptions all
around it, should so withdraw outward
or upward pressure at the locality of
a spot as to produce a sinking here,
does not seem clear. The eruptionS
must grow out of some exceptional
pressure from within the suns interi-
or, which would push outward in all
directions, and would necessarily tend
to maintain the level of the remaining
surface of the fluid photosphere. 1t
could not tend to produce a "sink,"
which seems unaccountable except as a
vortex of fluids rushing downwards.
For example, the only instance of a
continuous depression or hole in the
surface of a body of water is that of
the vortex attending a rapidly descend
ing current. Thus the sun-spotS, be-
ing "sinks in the photosphere," could
only exist by being worthless of descend
ing fluids.
Doubtless it must be matter of act
ual observation whether a sun-spot is
really attended by increased output of
heat from the sun. 1t may not be so
at ALL or it may be so only in the case
of spots.of exceptional size. The erup-
lions attendant upon small spots, how
ever numerous, may not have suffi-
cient energy to alter the average radi-
alton from the SUM- Still as c. S. adj
mits the eruptions to be part of the
phenomena of the spots, he leaves it
