NEW BISHOPS ARE
NAMED BY POPE
America Gets Only One-Pope
Deplores Persecution Of
the Church.

Rome, March 27.-The pope held a
creating any cardinals, merely precon-
izing bishops. The only American
was the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Hickey,
who was confirmed as coadjutor bishop
Of Rochester, N. Y. Monsignor
auxiliary bishop Of Motreal, Que.
The pontif delivered an allocution,
in moderate terms deploring the perse-
cution from which the church suffered
in some countries and complained of
recent events in France, where beside
the diplomatic rupture between the re-
public and the papacy the statesmen are
preparing for the separation Of church
and state, For this, the pontiff as
serted again, the vatican was not re-
sponsible, as had been alleged.
The pope also referred to the perse-
cution Of the church in some Of the
South American republics, especially in
Nicaragua and Ecuador, citing the laws
passed by the last named republic
against the church, providing for the
confscation Of the property Of the
religious orders, interfering with the
liberty of the religious associations and
putting obstacles in the way of the ap-
pointment of new bishops. ~
To Offset this the poptiff mentioned
the fact that the arbitration between
Chile and Peru had been intrusted to
the papal representative which had
caused the holy see much satisfaction

Mortified, Mimi, March 27.-That
the sun has recently been the theater
of an electrical and magnetic storm Of
extraordinary extent and violence is
the conclusion reached, after pro-
tracted series of observations, by Pro
fessor Payne, director Of Goodsell OBJ
servatory of Carleton college. The
name given the outward manifestation
of these phenomena, namely, "sun-
spots,' is calculated to minimize their
Importance in the popular view. 1t is
only when the area of a sun storm
comes to be measured and expressed in
terms applicable to distances with
which we are familiar that we can form
any conception of it's extent. II h e
j ourn is enabled thru the courtesy
of Professor Payne to present hither-
to unpublished drawing of the latest
sunspot, prepared for the April number
of Popular Astronomy, by the Able
Moreux Of the Bourges, France, obser-
vatory. The small circle in the upper
lefthand corner represents the earth
drawn to the same scale. The spot as
represented here covered 1-29th of the
solar disc and from left to right meas
ured over 100000 miles. The largest
previously observed, which was meas
ured in 1858, covered but 1-36th of the
sun s disc.
The exact nature of these solar
storms is still obscure. Professor Payne
speaks of some of the visible manifesta-
'tlons of them as violent motions of
metallic vapors, tho that seems to con-

lenses Of an eight-inch telescope on the
sensitive retina of the eye.
In order therefore to avoid this diff
Guilty, the eye=piece with which the sun
is observed is set at right angles with
the telescope tube, nine-tenths of the
sunlight is excluded by simple device,
the image is diverted by q prismatic
arrangement, and the eye is further pro-
tected by colored glass set in the eye
piece.
The sun seen in this way is clearly
defined and every detail of it's surface
can be seen. During the recent sun
spot period hundreds Of visitors took
advantage of the facilities afforded at
Carleton college for observing the ex-
it. 1t may be added that the same in
strument is used for visual and photo
graphic observations.
What the spectroscope Revealed.
Another method Of observing the sun
is thru the spectroscope. In some re-
spects these views were the most salts
factory of all: Looked at thru the tel
escope but little change could be seen
in the II sunspot from day to day; The
sensitive to changes in masses of metal
ic vapors and thru it, it could be seen
that the sunspot was the theater of
great and constant activity.
What will hereafter be known as the
great sunspot of 1905 became visible
first late in January, and reached it's
maximum early in February. Little
change, however, could be observed in
it from day to day, as the sun gradual,
ly turned upon its axis until Feb. -
when it went from sight, When in
! March the suns revolution q, again
brought the spot into view it was Seen
that it had undergone great changes
| and that the sun had almost resumed

!, 800 IN PERIL
ON OCEAN LINERS
Steamships in Collision at Harbor
Mouth Race to Land to
Save Lives.

Halifax, N. S., March 27.-The two
ocean steamers, the Partisan and the
Albano, whose 1900 passengers were
saved from death at sea by q thrilling
fifteen mile race for shallow water, show
plainly how serious was the accident,
the Partisan resting on bottom at her
dock and the Albano's forepeak being
full Of water.
The Partisan arrived off the entrance
Of the harbor at dusk Saturday and
was taking pilot on board when the
Albano was seen approaching from the
sea. AS the Albano approached, the
officers of the Partisan realized that
there was danger of collision and the
spesed aHead BEFORE S the Partisan could
get under way, however, the Albano
struck her on the starboard side, short
distance astern of the enginerOOm,
crushing in the great steel plates and
opening up hole thru which the water
poured in tons.
The bow plates Of the Albano were
bent and the stem was twisted, but the
water-tight compartments were prompt
ly closed and her pumps set vigorously
at work.
Both vessels whistled for help and
every tug in the harbor responded.
The passengers on board both YES
sells begged that the tugboats take
them OFT, but the little steamers chung
tenaciously alongside the liner and
never left her until she was safe at her
dock.
The suspense Of those on board the
Partisan was intense. Half way up
the harbor her stern had settled many
feet and the list to the starboard had
become more pronounced, but the steam
er kept on with the feet Of tugs along
side working to keep her ahoat..
AS the vessel came alongside her
wharf, lines were thrown out, gang
planks were set, and just as the passen-
gers rushed safely to land the stern of
the vessel touched the bottom.

vev but a vague idea of enormous forces
which must be at work to produce what
appears to be such titanic eruptions.
Certain it is, however, that the effects
caused by these solar storms are almost
simultaneously visible on the earth with
the outbreak on the sun.
Magnetic Storm on the Sun.
The professor tells how one day he
was at work with the engineering class
on the campus, when it was found that
nothing could be done because of the
peculiar actions of the magnetic needle,
which obstinately refused to remain
fixed as a well-behaved magnetic needle
should, but varied first to one side and
should indicate. After carefully exam
lining the instrument and finding moth
ing wrong with it, he finally sug-
gested that they examine the sun thru
the telescope to see if there was any
thing there to account for the needle g
eccentricities. Sure enough, a large
sunspot was just coming into view, in
dicating that a magnetic storm was in
progress on the sun.
Teleoraphic instruments have been
known to be operated by electricity be-
ieved to be generated by solar activity,
and there are remarkable condolences
between the occurrnce Of sunspots and
displays OF aurora bOrealls or northern
lights which can only be accounted for
on the theory that the terrestrial result
from the solar phenomena.
There is, however, insufficient evil
dence to warrant the conclusion that
there is any connection between sun
spot activity and the weather we were
favored with during the later days of
February and early March.
Photographing the Spots.
Sunspots are observed at Goodself OBJ
servatory in various ways. The most
accurate of these is by photographing
them. This was done every clear day
The instrument used was the 81 inch
telescope to which Photographic ap-
paratus has been attached. The picture
made is four inches in diameter, and by
holding the negative between the eye
and the light the area of activity car
be readily seen, and, when desirable
