suSspors AND THE WEATHER,

sunspots are closely studied at pres
emit. II IS usually thought that they
come In ii-year oyclesand 1t seems that
we are nearing the termination OF one
Of these cycles, and that abnormal
weather On that account can be expect
ed.
II Is very convenient TO have sunspots
to which all Irregularities Of the wealth
er can be traced. II has been CUSTOM
airy for long time to blame sunspots
for excessive heat, or Dor unusual cold
for rain and drought; for storms and
cyclones, and even for famlnes and pes
thence, and for business depression ana

has asserted, as regards India, tha'

ton being that they are accompanied
by excessive heat and no rains. In l'VV
we are told Able Mareux predicted
very hot summer on account OF the APP
pearance OF large number OF sunspotH'
and more especially because of TIE APP
pearance Of one very large spot ciscoV-
cred about that time. But the summer
OF 1900. while hot, was not excessively
hot and. therefore the prediction for
that year was not fulfilled, There has
been since that time a gradual Increase
in the number Of spots. and the record
OF last summers moderate weather
comes up to plague those who say that
sunspots cause or are accompanied by
great heat, and the record Of 1901 comes
up to plague those who contend 'ha' the
spots bring cool weather.
SO there the contention stands Tne

led the subject closely, and arrived at
the conclusion that numerous sunspots
are generally, for some reason or other,
accompanied by abnormal weather.

times abnormally cold. Any further

THE STATE AsYL UNI INQUIRY

II is gratifying to the people Of Utah
to know that the charges Of cruelty and
inhumanity against the officers and at
otendants of the asylum for the insane
at, Provo, were without foundation in
truth. Even the papers that made a
great sensation out OF the imaginlngs Of
an epileptic patient, now admit that
the accusations were baseless, and that
the marks Of injuries he received were
the results Of his own violence. The in
vestigation was thorough and the vim
dicatlon Of the Institution Is complete
We took no stock in the charges when
they were made, Notwithstanding the
flaming headlines and startling write
ups OF some OF our contemporaries our
doubts were consequent upon two rea-
sons: First, that the Provo asylum is
conducted on the most advanced and
humane system Of treatment OF the
demented. under kind and intelligent
management. And second, that the un-

There is a great difference between
the Russian Outrages and those conf
mented upon in the Italian parliament.
II is not pretended that any OF the
Jews at Klshenev are American citi-

where. Perhaps Il does not, but self
respect requires that when we go into

He says that forgotten bucket OF

which water remains continuously for
more than a week may serve as
source Of supply; and pools Of stagnant
water are prolific breeding places. ITO

says the professor, "all breeding places
must be dealt with; and for this pur-
pose there is no more effective des-
tructlye agency than Kerosene oil OF a
low grade" The surface of the water
should be coated with the oil, and II the
applications are repeated at short inter-
walls the method Is absolutely effective
A better remedy, however, Is to destroy
the breeding places altogether by grad
