CYCLES OF SUN SPOTS.
Fresh Interest Lent to the Subject
by Recent Earthquakes and
Volcanic Eruptions.

Since 1851, when the existence of a
sun spot cycle of about LIZ years was
discovered, many attempts have been
made to discover relation between
the sun spots and the atmospheric
changes in our earth. Violent storms,
floods, periods of drought and of fam
inc, cold years, warm years, and many
such variations of weather have all
been supposed to owe their origin to
the sun spots. But the relation which
Sir Norman Locllyer appears to have
discovered between sun spot cycles and
the tremendous upheavals of the earth
which we term earthquakes and vol
canoes, lends a fresh interest to this
fascinating study, says Golden Penny.
The matter certainly deserves very
full investigation. incidentally, the
general character of the weather in
the spring of the year seems to favor
the existence of a 35 years cycle OF
weather. That is, three times one cycle
of sun spots. The year 1867 was just
after the sun spot minimum, and 1902
is also just after the minimum. 1t was
cold spring in 1867, and bitterly
cold month of May. The summer was

HOW TO BE HAPPY.
A Coy Blessing That Is Ever at Hand.
Yet Eludes Those Who
Are Seeking 1t.

There are people forever in search
of happiness who never find it. Hap
piness oftenest comes by indirection.
You are intent on duty, and are sur
prised to find you have stumbled on
more than you sought, says the Home
Magazine. To make happiness the
end of your seeking is an easy way
not to find it. 1t is coy blessing.
lowering about your path, it yet
eludes your grasp. Attempt to put
your hand upon it, and like wild
gazelle upon the mountain, it bounds
away. The search for happiness is
like the search for the end of the
rainbow-it recedes as you advance.
You cannot capture it. After all your
planning you will have to give up the
pursuit, and content yourself with fol-
lowing the plain and Flooding path
of duty, and to find your JOY in fidelity
to conscience and in obedience to the
Divine will. Aim at something higher
than happiness, and the higher will be
sure to include the lower.

THE TIDE OF FASHIONS.
Various Bits of Up-to-Date Finera
That Now Find Favor with
Dress DevOtees.

Report says that, except for the
few, trains are banished from court
gown. So there is busy time among
the dressmakers in London who are
filling new orders and reconstructing
the old ones. Two kinds of skirts are
favored for these gowns-one which
fits the hips closely and widens into a
mass of f1ounces at the feet, and the
other extremely shirred in groups of
gaugings at the top, the fullness from
this falling in round effect, says the
New York Sun.
Jeweled nets instead of hats are the
latest thing for the little bridesmaids
heads, and the effect on fluffy, wavy
hair is charming. They are very much
the same style of nets worn by the
Italian women years ago, and as an
hair ornament for the grown ups they
are very smart.
Maidenhair fern shining with dew
drops, arranged in tiara form is an
other novelty for the hair, or you may
have small ivy leaves with some small
flower.
The emerald matrix is one of the
many popular stones for brooches and
belt pins.
Silk gloves with woven lace tops are
to be worn with thin gowns this sum-
mer, as we'll as mitts, and they are
both long enough to meet the elbow
sleeves. Black, white and gray are the
fashionable colors.
In gloves for summer wear there
are some of white glace kid which will
wash. These cost more than other
wash gloves. but they are satisfactory
and that is sufficient reason for their
popularity.
A green straw hat with green feath-
ers is the smart thing with your all
black gown.
Bands of embroidered pongee are
among the dress trimmings.
Fine white serge makes the most
fashionable yachting suit, with
stitched bands of the same material
covering each seam, a stitched hip
yoke. and a short jacket with pale blue
glace silk revers.

Potato Pie.

Slice eight or nine boiled potatoes.
Put two tablespoonfuls of white (not
creamy sauce in a stewpan with four
ounces OF butter, two ounces of grated
cheese, juice of half a lemon, seasoning
of salt, pepper and nutmeg and the
yolks of four well-beaten eggs. Stir
over the fire until thoroughly heated.
Place a row of croutons of fried or
toasted bread around shallow baking
dish, put layer of the potato slices
within the border and cover with some
of the sauce, then arrange another
layer of potatoes in smaller circle
and cover with sauce, and so on until
you have formed a raised center; put
a little sauce on top and cover with
two ounces more Of grated cheese and
some bread crumbs and bake about
20 minutes until nicely Drowned and
serve up hot.-Washington Star.

VOTING BY TELEGRAPH.
for Use in. the Legislatures
OF Germany.

There is only one reference to me-
chanical voting in the 10 reports on
foreign parliaments which have lately
been issued. This occurs in memo
randum on the subject of divisions in
the reichstag and Prussian landtag.
AS long ago as 1869 motion was in
troduced in the Prussian lower house
in favor of establishing system called
the voting telegraph, an electric in
vention. Each member was to have
at his place handle to turn to right
or left as he wished to vote Eyes" or
mo- and this handle could be turned
only by the member to whom the seat
belonged, each member being provided
with a special key. The time for taxi
ing the votes of the lower house would.
according to this scheme, have occupied
less than two minutes.
There were no practical objections
made to the machine, says the Lon
don Chronicle, but it was rejected,
partly because no pressing need exist
ed for shortening the divisions and
partly on account of the advantages
of an oral process of voting.

MANY OF OUR SHEEP GOATS.
Much of the Mutton Sold in Large
Cities Is the Meat of
AnEoras.

Among stockmen it is glorious that
a great deal of meat that is sold for
prime mutton in st. Louis, Chicago,
Louisville and Kansas City is really
Angora goat meat-just as good eat
ing and far more profitable to the
stockmen by reason of the greater
value of the fleece, mohair against
wool, says the Kansas City World.
The Angora goat-raising interest is
steadily growing throughout the
United States. Its headquarters, that
is, the headquarters of the American
Angora Goat Breeders association, are
right here in Kansas City. w. 7. Nc
Intyre is the secretary of this associa-
ton. Mr.. Mcintyre says:
There are $4,000 Angora goats in
the country to-day and the business is
growing fast. 1t has all been built up
since March IA, 1891, when our associa-
ton was formed. Then, according to
government statistics, there were but
10000 Angora goats in the United
States. And not one registered. Now
we have about 10000 registered.
Registered goats range in price
from $40 to SIS each. Some bucks go

Habits of the Robin

Let us hide behind that clump OF
blackberry bushes and watch the
parent birds as they come to feed
their young. There comes the
father robin now; you can distin-
guish him from the mother by his
darker plumage. You will notice
that in coming with the food he
alights on a particular twig, hops
along particular branch and alights
on a particular side of the nest. If
you watched him for a week YOU
would probably see him approach
the nest in precisely the same way
each time. Now, here comes the
mother-a lighter-colored bird, with
gray on the back of her head You
see that she reaches the nest by
quite a different route and alights
upon the other side of it, and she
will do this over and over again.
Like men and women, birds acquire
habits which they rigidly adhere to,
unless something happens to prevent
them. = Ernest Harold Baynes ip
Woman's Home Companion.

FUTURE OF FLYING MACHINE.
It Is Not Likely That the Cherished
Dreams of Enthusiasts Will
Ever He Realized.

Edison agrees with Hiram Maxim
and Prof. Langley, of the Smithsonian
Institution, that the really successful
navigation of the air will come with
the building of flying machines which
depend on their power for buoyancy,
not on gas reservoirs of any kind. San
tos-Dumont is so far in accord with
these eminent students of the problem
he has tried so well to solve, that he,
has been reducing the size Of his gas
balloons as his airships have succeed
ed one another and placed more and
more reliance on the motors he uses
for speed and steering.
1t says little against the possibilities
ofaerial navigation, observes the Cleve-
land Leader, that one very promising
experimenter in the same field where
Santos-Dumont has won renown has
just been dashed to pieces by the BURST
ing of his airship while several hum
dred feet above the streets of Paris.
Such deadly accidents are likely in the
early stages of any successful device
for locomotion on land or sea, as well
as in the air. 1t is to be expected that
great discovery will always be paid
for in blood. That seems to be the
law of life.
But the point in regard to flying ma
chimes which appears to constitute an
insurmountable barrier to their lasting
success is that they differ totally from
any other machine or appliance which
man has used in practical travel, as to
heir destruction if forced to stop while
in the element they are designed for.
The ideal flying machine would resem-
BILE ship, of great speed and power,
which could not be kept off the bottom
Of the sea when it stopped moving.
But how many persons would ever
ride on boat which must sink if it
ceased to make Roadway? If it meant
destruction for the engines of a steam
ship to stop, would steam have made
/, the least impression, in peaceful travel
and in the transportation of freight,
upon the sailing vessels with which
steamers compete? In war or for sport
ventures might have been made with
steam craft, but in the course Of nor
NAL traffic nothing would have been
done with any type of vessel sure to
sink if it's machinery stopped.
That is very good reason for be.
lieving that the dreams of wholesale
navigation of the air by flying ma.
chimes, which have been cherished in
many lands for more than century,
will always remain fancies rather than
solid facts.

To Find the North po,a

An expedition is being planned in
Norway for the discovery of the
north magnetic pole, if indeed such a
spot exists, for it has been suggest
ed that what is called the magnetic
pole may not be a definite point, but
considerable area over which the
needle would stand vertically. There
is also a question as to the absolute
fixity in position Of the magnetic
pole. Capt. r. Amundsen is to com
mand the expedition, and the ship
Gjoa has been purchased for it's use.
The start is to be made in the spring
of 19O3.-Youth's Companion.

from $25 to $500. Plain, unregistered
animals bring from $3.50 to SIS head.
1t pays to raise any kind, but just now,
at any rate from the stud standpoint,
it is more profitable to raise registered
stock.
"Angora goats do better than sheep
anywhere, but are especially better in
brush-covered sections. They are far
harder than sheep.

Fiction In Our Librarte..

In some of the public libraries of
the United States the percentage of
fiction called for has been reduced
below 60. Even this figure is mis-
leading. Novel devotees read three
times as fast as those who call for
books of other classes. Novels are
often skinned or returned as unsat-
isfactory after few chapers are
sampled. When the novel reading is
scaled down by this consideration
the excess of fiction taken out of
public libraries is largely reduced.

A Custard Hint,

When baking custard in an oven
containing some other dish which re-
quires greater heat, the proper tenn
perature may be obtained by setting
the custard in pan of hot water.
Do not allow the water to boil around
it. If it shows symptom of bubbling,
add cold water. Use pan bit larger
than the dish containing the custard,
and do not put in water enough to come
more than half way up the pudding
dish. This permits more water to be
added without dipping any out, and
also lifting out the custard as soon
as it is cooked. If left standing even
few minutes in the hot water it will
whey.-Good Housekeeping.
