few years ago great hopes Of important
discoveries as to the influence Of the
sun and it's spots on the weather were
based on the work or the ''bolometer,'
an instrument invented by Prof. Lang
ley Of airship fame, for ascertaining and
weighing the sun rays hidden in the
'1nfra-red" circle Of the solar spectrum.
But nothing has been heard OF the in
strument Of late. Solar heat has been
used for some years 20 give power for
the pumping Of a great waterworks
plant for irrigation near Los Angeles.

recent Outburst OF the sun spots aug

Views of Great Astronomer.
VERY little is really known about the
activity Of the sun spots. except that
the mysterious disturbance occurs IN
regular cycles of a little more than
eleven years" said Prof. Burnham. 1T
is a matter Of qualification with all the
astronomers at the Yerkes observatory
that splendid photographs Of the solar
disturbances were taken through the
Yerkes lens last Saturday. There Is
some reason to believe that they are the
best photographs ever taken OF the sun
spots in the throes Of their mysterious
activity"
The Washington times., 1903-11-15

we now know that every eleven years
the spots wax and wane
That the Drominences also wax and
wane has been proved during the last
two or three decades. and the fact that
the corona also obeys the same law of
periodicity was established during the
American eclipse of 1878 The study Of
solar physics consists largely of watch
ing and recording the thermal, chemical
and other changes which accompany
this period Of disturbance. Some OF the
effects can best be studied at times
when the solar ball itself is covered by
the moon in an eclipse. Then the outer
portions Of the sun are revealed in all
their beauty and majesty and the whole
world turns out 70 see.

actual size that one of the smallest OF
them could swallow planet like the
earth in a twinkling without showing
any unusual sign of disturbance from
gorging. II IS known that the sun spots
are hotter than the rest OF the sur

lists. Because of the doubt as to their
influence on crops and climates the sun
spots have not been regarded for some
time with much favor or consideration
by astronomers. But this could be said
only Of the sun spots I'm their prolonged
periods or cycles of inactivity. Just
as soon as they become active-or vol
canic. as they are then called. for want
of a better term-the whole wide world
of science, and especially the scientists
of the astronomical area, are intensely
interested. This is largely because so
little is known about the cause or effects
OF sun spots. Their periods OF activity
every decade or so are therefore always
eagerly looked forward to in the hope
that the battling mystery of their origin
and their influence upon the other orbs
of space may TO some extent be unrav-
eled partially solved. at least. If not en-
tirely explained.
Inactive Scots Always Present.
Spots on the sun are not anything
new. They have always been there.
With the aid of a piece of smoked
glass they can be seen almost any clear
day Of the year by a schoOlboy or any
body else. 1t is the sun spots IN ac-

mended g bottle of Snow Liniment;
I got a SOC size, and it cured my leg.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the deceased portion Of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an irfamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and IN
less the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's nor
NAL condition, hearing will be de-
stoyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an in1amed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Emergency Medicines.

It is a great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight in
juries and ailments. A good liniment
and one that is fast becoming a flavor
ite if not a household necessity is
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By apply
ing it promptly to a cut, bruise or
burn it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually reqired, snd as
it is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When
Pain Balm is kept at hand a sprain
may be treated before Inflammation
sets in, which insures a quick re-
covery. For sale by The Kaufman

The Good Roads Problem.

The Florence Times says: The
good people of Anderson seem to
have solved the good roads matter.
They have determined that the only
way to get good roads is to 60 ahead
and build them, and they have au-
thorized the county board 10 go
ahead and get the necessary machin-
cry and material and build the roads
and talk about cost afterwards; that
the people would back whatever they
did. Anderson is a very progressive
community and there are no better
business men in the world. Their
example is always worthy consider
ing.
