The MetamOrphosis of Hog.

rroH tue Dulutn NeVS-1r1Dunes
You can talk all you want to about your
queer names. but I've got one that caps
them ALL" said a well-known railroad man
who just returned from trip In the south
ern part Of the state. This mans name is
Thing, and he's a preacher, too. He is
called Every Thing, Any Thing and some
times Any Old Thing, but he bears it all
with patient shrug.
1.-THE way he got his name is rather anus
ing He lives near Zumbrota, in Goodhue
county. When he was youth and his
name was handed to him it was 'Hog-yes,
spelled the same way, and also pronounced d
that way. After he engaged upon his min
isteriai duties he did not care to be called
hog, so he asked that his name be
changed. He appealed to the district court,
and the judge asked him what name he
preferred. He replied. saying anything
would do. Therefore, they gave him the
name of Thing, and 1t is his for keeps. He
is the pastor of pretty little white church,
with green blinds, and everyone that knows
him says he is good Thing"

The Aurora BoreaIis.
From the New York Sun.

Under the action of the ultraviolet rays
the charged particles would gradually
move to the less Illuminated regions of the
earth-to the poles. Since cathode rays
tend to follow the lines OF force in a
magnetic field. the rays will near the equa-
tor lie In the upper air, where the lines of
force are parallel to the surface of the
earth. At the poles, where the lines OF
force dip toward the earth, the Cathode
rays dip downward and reach denser strata
of air, and here the phenomena of the
aurora are produced. The dependence of
the period of the aurora on the period Of
the solar spots and other known relations
all harmonize with the theory that the
northern lights are produced by cathode
rays arising from negatively electrified So
lar particles A far-reaching explanation
like the foregoing can only be Summarized
