is fastened to a small stand placed at
the edge of the hole and then the boy
goes skating, occasionally casting a
glance at his ''jumping-jack."
When the hungry and nnsuspicious
fish comes along and swallows the bait
the "jumping-jack' waves his arms
and legs frantically. and also a small
flag fastened to one arm Then the
youngster stops skating long enough to
pull in the fish and bait the hook for
another catch.
A simpler signal is called the tie
up pole. This is made with two short.
light sticks tied together at right au-
giles in the way shown in the sketch.
To one of the poles a flag is fastened.
When the fish is not biting the flag lies
fat on the ice, but as soon as a fish
has gulped down the hook or even
taken nibble at the bait, that fact is
signaled by the flag. AS soon as the
fagpole stands upright waiting it's

SHAPE OF SUN CHANGING.
A Jekyll and Hyde Tendency Has
Been Revealed by Recent
Observation

Prof. Frank H. Bigelow, a weather
observer for the bureau of meteorology.
has recently been making study of the
atmosphere, and presents mass Of
data and observations showing that the
binary star" Recent scientific work
in investigating the circulation Of the
solar atmosphere in accordance with the
laws governing the connective and radia-
tive action Of large mass of matter coz
tracing by it's own gravitation have
led Prof. Bigelow to this hypothesis, that
the single fiery envelope conceals two
discs" says a Washington report.
series of observations extending
over many years on the period of solar
rotation at various points on the sur
face shows that the same meridian of
the sun is seen twice in a single rota-
ton of the entire mass; first as the east
ern limb. and second, Is days later as the
western limb. Whatever may be the in
trinsic activity of the sun at given
zone and on given meridian, that dis
play becomes visible twice first 10 the
east and second to the west"
The tables prepared by Prof. Rigelow
giving the rate Of angular rotation of
various zones of the suns surface show
that it is far from uniform. being in

from the equator. AS vet little has been

activity of the sun ION two opposite
sides of its mass as if certain diameter
had greater energy than the one at right
angles to it, is similar to recent dis
covery of Prof. Bigelow in regard to the
earth's atmosphere and leads him to the
conclusion already stated, that this per-
sistent excess of outflowing energy on
two opposite sides OF the sun suggests
the possibility that the sun should be
regarded as an incipient binary star
where the dumbell figure of rotation pre-
walls instead of the spheroidal If this
is really the case, and the evidence sug-
gests it, then there would be reason for
the existence of the two primary CEN
tiers of activity of the sun instead CT it's
having a single center.
From this We should expect to find
that the sun has two magnetic and two
meteorological systems and indeed some
double-acting system appears to impress
itself generally upon the solar cosmical
relations. This view is quite in har-
mony with the well-known fact of the
existence of numerous binary systems
of suns more or less widely separated
and it cannot be regarGt.s as unlikely
that the sun is developing III ,ae same
way. The enormous mass of the syn
would seem to entice it's constituents
to group themselves preferably about
, two centers for the physical processes
involved in circulation and radiation.

LOADS OF MIDWlNTER FUN.
Buffalo Boys Have Invented Jump
ing Jack" That Catches Fish
While They Skate.

The problem of how to keep warm
and enjoy yourself while engaged in
the ancient pastime of fishing through
hole in the ice has been solved in
very ingenious manner, as the accom-
panying sketch indicates. Several
bright American boys skating on the
lake at Buffalo are believed to have
originated the idea; of the Jumping
jack" fisherman, as it is called.
The northern boy used to sit over
hole in the ice and wait for the fish
to bite, but that became too slow and
besides, it detracted from his pleasure
at skating. So his inventive genius
set itself to work. and the Jumping
jack" was the result. The string which
has to be pulled to make the jumping
jacks joints move is tied securely 10
the fishing line. The hook is baited
and lowered into the water through a
