SCIENCE CANNOT EXPLAIN.
Thsre Are Some Things That Are Still
 Unaccounted For.

Prof. Simon Newcomb in Harpers Maga-
 zine.
 When the number and violence of mag netic storms are recorded and compared,
 it is found that they correspond to the spots on the sun, and go through the same period of eleven years. The con clusion seems almost inevitable; mag netic storms are due to some emanation sent out by the sum- which arises from some cause that produces the spots. This emantion does not go on necessarily, but only in an occasional way, as storms fol- low each other on the earth. What is 1t? Every attempt to detect 1t has been in vain. Prof. Hale, of the Yerkes Observa- tory, has had in operation from time to time, for several years, his ingenious spec troheliograph which photographs the sun by a single ray of the spectrum. This instrument shows that violent actions are going on in the sun, which ordinary ob- servation would never lead us to sus- pect. But it has failed to show with cer- tainty any peculiar emanation at the time of magnetic storm or anything con nected with such a storm.
 A mystery which seems yet more inn penetrabe is associated with the so-called new stars which blaze forth from time to time. These offer to our sight the most astounding phenomena ever presented to the physical philosopher. One hundred years ago such objects offered no mys- tery. There was no reason to suppose that the Creator of the universe had ceased His functions, and continuing them, it was perfectly natural that He should be making continual additions to the universe of stars. But the idea that these objects are really new creations made out of nothing. is contrary to all our modern ideas and not in accord with the observed facts Granting the possi- bility of really new star-if such an object were created, it would be destined to take it's place among the other stars as a permanent member of the universe Instead of this, such objects invariably fade away, after a few months and are changed into something very like an or dinary nebula.
 A question of transcendent interest is that of the cause of these outbursts It cannot be said that science has, up to the present time been able to offer any sug- gestion not open to question.

FOOTBALL SQUAD FROM UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE.

N THEN Alabama and Tennessee get w the whistle to play ball Thanks
 giving day at the West End park one of the best games of football of the season is expected. Both teams are strainng every effort to get themselves into excellent shape and their condition will be better than before this season.
 From Tuscaloosa comes a story of new faces on the team, and new stunts in line bucking, end running and tackling. The team is really 50 per cent stronger than at anytime this season Those who are called the wise ones" are said to be betting heavily on the Crimson and White.
 Tennessee expects victory, but is not overconfident and realizes that she will have the toughest proposition of the sea- son when she tackles Alabama this time The prospects of a good crowd are flat tering and the two teams will be greeted by many of the prettiest girls in Birming- ham. Both of the teams will reach here Wednesday afternoon and they will prob ably be quartered at the Hilman and Florence. On Thursday morning the Tennessee boys will take a couple of hours practice at the park to get accus- toned to the grounds and the limber-un after their long ride.
 Within the past day or two the betting on the result of. the game has changed materially At first the odds were en- tirely in Tennessee's faYor but with the rumors of new faces and of new things from Tuscaloosa, her end of the odds has increased considerably. Money is ouoted even now and the Alabama end is srad,.. ally rising.
 Thanksgiving day games are as fol- lows:

Give Us the Good old Way.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 From what it is possible to gather through a long list of exchanges, cover ing the country as completely as does map. lovers of harmless racing are not as delighted over the turf achievements of the season as they might be. The in- ventor of the wind shield for harness performers admits that his device lowers the record of a horse to the extent of from two to five seconds. Horses that trot with this advantage might be classed by themselves and their comparative speed recorded in the usual way but the records for such trotters and pacers soon cease to appeal to the reading public. A horse Is meant to trot in the open air against its resistence. It Is an essential condition of animal life, and a farmer driving his pair of blooded colts to town

Washington, November H.-Although he has held his office for only a few months. Lieutenant General Young, chief of staff, has made report to the secre- dary of war. It is for the most part a compilation of recommendations made by eubordinate officers General Young urges the re-establishment of the can- teen. Regarding the general staff system he says:
 "The experience gained during this short period does not afford sufficient basis for an exhaustive discussion of the merits of the system, which should be deferred until experience is had in its actual administration extended over a greater period. In the result thus far attained, the wisdom of the authorities in promoting this measure seems fully Justi-
