MISUNDERSTANDING SUN SPOT ON
SOILS C0UNTENANOH.
University Astronomers scoff at the
Idea That the Big Spot Has Any
Connection with Zero Temperatures
in Minneapolis Occur in
. Eleven-Year Cycles.

Minneapolitans are taking advantage
of an opportunity to observe the largest
sun spot recorded for many years.
Nothing more than small dot can be
seen, but the knowledge that 1t the
spot is a cavity, on the face OF the
sun it is large enough to contain at
least ten earths, adds interest to the
observation. g.
Such spots are not uncommon, but it
is only once in eleven years that old Sol
becomes bespeckled to any great ex-
tent. This is the eleventh year and as
tronomers are theorizing on the causes
and nature Of sun spots.
Thru the university telescope the
largest of the spots can be seen easily
and the instructors in the astronomical
department are kent busy adjusting
the instrument so that the curious may
have view Of the spot which many be-
lieve responsible for the frigid temper
allure now prevailing.
Francis P. Leavenworth, professor
of astronomy, does not believe that
there is any connection between sun
spots and mundane temperatures. "We
know that the same force which causes
sun spots is responsible for magnetic
storms on the earth and for great dis
plays of the aurora borealis,' said he.
tsThere the connection ceases, SO far
as we know. When there are great
electrical disturbances on the earth, as
in November, 1902, there is an unusual
number Of sun spots, and the same thing
holds true Of auroral displays. AS to
the cause of sun spots nothing definite
is known. Probably they are caused by
eruptions on the sun s surface, which
cause tremendous suction and the col
lection Of cooler vapors in the holloWs.
Fifty spots Of different sizes can now be
seen, including one Of the largest of
which there is any record. -
The spots, however, are not Perma-
| nent and those who wish to see the un-
usual phenomenon should take advan-
tage of the opportunity at once.

''Swiped'' Tariff Sheets.

Niedre also complained that he was
unable to get rates when he called for
them, and that it was impossible to get
tariff sheets, altho the law requires that
they be posted at all stations. His
story Of how he "swiped' copies Of
the tariff sheets and his attempts to get
others from Mr.. Conley were amusing.
MIR. Conley said that when Mr.. Niedre
called for sheets he was out Of them,
and admitted that the station agents
were not always as well posted on rates
as the companies desired.
Mr.. Sewen admitted that there were

but discrepancies did not necessarily

Many Of the questions asked the rail
way officials were sharp, calling forth
an expostulation from Mr.. Sewell, who
wanted to know whether these committee
was to line up the tariffs of minnesota
generally. or to ascertain real grievances
and obtain relief from them.
Mr.. LOTUS complained that 1t cost
more to ship products in carload lots
from points along the Milwaukee road
in southern Minnesota to intermediate
points along the Northern Pacific than
from the same points to Duluth. Some
one asked if carload of brick from
Chaska to Harris would cost more than
the same car from Chaska to Duluth.
Neither Mr.. Sewell nor Mr.. Conley were
prepared to answer this question, but
Mr.. Lotus said that the rate to Har-
ris would be higher if shipped over the
Milwaukee, but if shipped over the St
Louis, the Duluth rate. would be applied
as the maximum. ).

SHARP QUESTIONS ;' |.
BY INVESTIGATORS
GRIEVANCES AGAINST RAIL
ROADS ARE CONSIDERED,
Louis Niedre Of Hastings and George S.
LOTUS Of st. Paul Appear Before the
Legislative Railway Rate Investiga-
ting C0mmittee-Tariff Sheets Not
Posted as Law Requires.

Louis Niedre, Hastings malster and
George s. LOTUS, st. Paul elevator
man.. were the only witnesses before the
legislative railway investigating COM
mlttee Yesterday afternoon. Each had
grievance against the Chicago, Mil
1vaukee 4 St. Paul system, which was
represented by E. D. SeweI, assistant
general superintendent, and J. T. Con-
Icy, assistant general freight agent. Mr..
Nledre complained Of the rates from
Hastings to Chicago and Louisville. A
specific instance was made of a rate Of
q cents on barley to Louisville when
he could ship the barley to Minneapolis
for 3 cents and reship to Louisville for
IA cents. It was admitted by the rail-
way officials that this was mistake.
Nledre wanted to know why the grain
rate from Hastings to Chicago was 1919
cents, and from Minneapolis was only
71a cents. Mr.. Conley explained that
this was a proportional rate'' intend
ed for shipments originating beyond the
twin cities. The object Of the proper.
tionate rate, Mr.. Sewell explained, was
to enable the roads to participate in the
grain shipments to the east, which
would naturally take the way Of the
great lakes. It was further stated that
to abolish the proportional rate could
not possibly affect Hastings or other
! intermediate points, but that such
rates were Of vast benefit to the farm
ers, because the lower the rate to Min
neapolis the higher prices they would
! get for their grain.
