ITO run over a man-perhaps that's
the only thing of all that shakes me.
To see him on the track within 10 or 20
feet of you. to know that you can't stop
to save him. to feel the wheels Of the

hind his schedule and made like any
thing for the next stop. There was a
crossing right In front of him. He
saw that everything was clear, as he
thought. and went right ahead, when

ran q little golden haired fairy right
In front of the engine. 1t was all over
In one instant. and when the train stop

for which the civil service commissioners
had prepared examinations. Says Mr..
Copeland:
In a list of about fifty men who were
employed in the water department on
clerical work. or in inspecting hydrants or
water pipes, it was found that one had
entered as a 'coppers NTH another as
ship calker,' and another as an expert
swimmer There were sailors dial
makers rubber gasket makers. mig
gers and 'splicers, miners, stone Gull
ers,' beam tenders 'wiremen and rod
men in the list also, each demanded by
special requisit.on for a man of that trade.
About every branch of human effort ex-
cept that of expert balloonist or skilled
animal trainer may be found in these spe-
cial acquisitions; and the only reason
these were overlooked is probably that
they did not occur TO the fertile brains
OF the ingenious evaders of the civil sery-
ice laws"
Some may infer from the quotations
given above that Mr.. Copeland is not in
favor of municipal ownership for Amer
lean cities Their impression will hardly
be dispelled by his conclusion:
What would have been the result if
the Boston experiment had been carried
out upon a business like basis is a ques-
ton which may be discussed by theor SITS.

SCIENCE NOTES.

sunspot of vast proportions is now
affecting the sun and attracting a<tSn-
zion of astronomers. 1t is so large that
three such globes as our earth would
be necessary to span it,

Prof Serviss, who seems to be an au-
thority at Washington, has published his
views on the nature of sunspots, in which
ne says: The darkness of the sunspots
by no means implies that they are colder
than the dazzling surface about them.
When the surface of the sun wears an
angry look and darkens with spots, like
those noted with the Paris telescope. his
energy Increases and he radiates more
heat, like laboring animal,-th tempera,
ture of whose swollen arteries affects the
surrounding air."
No one will doubt that Prof Serviss re.
CARDS the sun as hot body. and as his
scientific paper is sent out from the cab

mitted that he expresses the views of the
leading scientists OF our great aggrega-
ton Of great minds.
His idea evidently is that the sunspot
is the hottest place on the sun and that
the heat of that sunspot comes through
