OLD SOL SHOWS A NEW SPOT
100000 MILES LONG.
BY ROSE O'HALLORAN.

The discoloration, which. like dark
line, may now be seen on the center of
the suns disk, developed rapidly since
June %, when IL was first discerned as
a group of FIVE small spots far in from
the northeast limb On the morning fol-
lowing there was a general enlargement,
especially in the rear spot. which meas
ured 1900 miles in diameter. New UNI
brae appeared on yesterday, and to-day
at noon the group measured more than
100, 900 miles in length and 10000 in width
at the foremost and rear sections Its
position, a few degrees north Of the
suns equator, is one of the indications
that the climax of this maximum has
passed; and though large spots shall
probably appear during the coming two
or three years, the unprecedented erup-
tions of the past winter are not likely
to be repeated. The present spot is the
fifth since the middle of last January
that could be discerned by normal eye
without magnifying power; though three
others that might be seen II all condi-
tions were propitious also crossed the

a STORY FOR THE CRITICS.

There is a little story of the Sultan
of Turkey, and 1t has a little moral
pinned to it. which we commend to the
critics.
Once upon time the Sultan wrote
a poem Read it, he said, to his
hired literary critic, and say what you
think of it.
Magnificent" exclaimed the critic
GLORIOUS as the sun, Matchless as the
moon!"
You're liar" said the Sultan. It's
the worst thing l ever did Ho,
there.''-calling to the guard-"Off with
this fellows head."
Now. only. the other day, certain
man who had in his employ fellow
of literary tendencies submitted to him
an article, with these instructions:
Il wrote this thing myself. and
think highly of it; nevertheless. be
candid with me, and, IL you think it's
worth nothing, say so. l want the
truth"
Thus urged, the critic rendered this
decision: 1T is very weak-ill written,
and would not be considered by any
person of literary taste and judgment
sWhereupon the author and employer,
in great rage, kicked the candid critic
out of the front door, and he lost his
job and his dignity and is now trying
to get up a suit for damages
