Mr.. Peters. There appears to be n slight
elevation both in the umbra, or dark central
shadow, and in the Denumbra. or gray
fringe surrounding. Prof Hale of the
IerkeS observatory seems to think az a
result of his Spectro-heliOgra PHI work that
the umbra and penumbra are elevations
In the neighborhoOd of the spots there
seem to be eruptionS where the solar mat
ter is projected out in space and somewhat
cooled by expansion and radiation. Falling
back into the sun again. in the form of
sun spots, this matter is seen as a dark
ened area, like cinder floating on a sea
of fire.
ut is our intention to ultimately measure
UP and publish the changing conditions as
well as the areas of these spots. Examina-
ton OF the negatives, thus far, reveals that
sun spots appear almost always on those
portions of the suns face which correspond
with our tropics of capricorn and cancer.
There can generally be detected a gradual
drift from the nearest pole, but never across
the equator.

LIGHTNING KILLS WILD BOARS
Black Forest Struck Together In Pike County.

Five of six wild boars imported from the Black Forest in Germany at a cost of $l00 each were lately killed by light uing at Porter's Lake, Pike county. Pa They were brought over by Weissbrod & Hess. of Philadelphia, and were in tended for breeding purposes, and if was proposed to turn their young loose in the forest. reports the New York Sun.
 The animals had only just arrived and were still in their boxes, which were piled under a tree. When the storm was at its height bolt descend ed, striking the tree and running down 1t to the animals. One in a box ou top of the others escaped. but those below were instantly killed. 1t is said their places will be supplied by other impor- tations.
 The propagation of wild boars in his region is not new experiment Some wears ago Otto Flock, wealthy broker of New York and London, whose sum mer home was on the west side of the Shawangunk mountain. not far from Port Jervis, turned out several wild boars in his mountain park. For time they thrived until at last they broke through the inclosure and committed depredations on the neighboring farms. The farmers turned out with dogs and guns, but were never able to capture any of them. They were hunt ed day and night. They finally took up their abode in Sullivan county, where hunters tried in vain to kill them. Judge w. H. Crane, of this place, broth CT of the late Stephen Crane, was the only person who successfully brought down one of these wild boars. What has become of the remainder of the ami mals is a mystery, as they have disap- peared. Ii Is believed they all died.

MILES FAVORS GOOD ROADS.
COmmander of the United States Army Illustrates Their Great
 importance.

If Gen. Nelson A. Mics had his way the roads of he United States would be equal to SC of any country on the globe. h., tells a story of an old teamster out west who was driving over very rough road In the Rocky mountains shortly after the Geronimo campaign. He had the general for a passenger. The wagon was an old prairie schooner, without springs or cushions, and the general was vainly attempting to fall asleep, says the Chi cago Chronicle.
 But there was no sleep for me on that trip" says Cen. Miles, flor tie old rascal drove over every powder in the road; in fact, he seemed to be doing it purposely Finally became interested and began to count the number of rocks over which the wheels of the wagon passed or which they struck. Suddenly, to my consterna- ton, he missed one-a huge powder in the middle of the roadway.
 Whoa! Hey!' l cried. Back up! Back up!
 "He quietly followed my instruc- tions. seeming to be not at all surprised by them. When he had his wagon Ia the proper position l said: Now drive over that rock. confound you! It's the only one you've missed.
 without so much as n glance in my direction, he replied: Cert, pard Never noticed it. Ain't got a chew about yer?'

siNty-five feet. From the top OF this
pipe there is q constant Ooze of sticky
black Substance, which has been sub
jected TO chemical analysis and shows
81 per cent LIQUID asphaltum and 40 per
cent fine oils
Springs in Lake Bed.
Aside from the constant ooze from
the piue. there are several good sized
, springs which are constantly sending
up this stuff from the strata below the
lake bottom. Some OF them have
buiIded little mound-like Islands. while
others are discharging the fluid into
the waters of the lake. which IS
blackened for a considerable space. AS
the oil gradually distributes itself over
sthe surface Of the water and the sun
shines down upon it. all the prismatic
colors are reflected, making a remark
able sight.
J. NJ linn. n. J. West and T. Z,
Black have located the property on
which the principal "oozes" are sit
uated, and others have located the
shore for miles. there being probably
twenty Ogden and Salt Lake men
among the lOcatOrs
The theory OF these gentlemen is
that the asphaltum is a residue of the
oil which exists IN great quantities
under the surface at considerable depth
and that a portion of the liquid is
forced up through the Crevices, the
sediment accommodating year after
year and composing the asphaltum
beds.
May Develop Fuel Oils.
From this it is reasoned that the
sinking Of oil wells would bring a flow
of valuable oil having especial values
as fuel oils. Aside from this the sub
stance as il now eXudes from the earth
IS valuable. A number of the persons
interested have had an analyses made.

Russia is not disinclined to accept
the modus vivendi in the Korean ques-

rather that the dispute come to war
than yield her claims. A sign that
Russia is prepared for the worst is that
the officers families. who are prepar-

the buildings for their accommodation
are not yet completed. Japan has
brought together masses of troops for
