GREEN PAINT FOR MAIL BOXES
Uncle Sam Finds Present Color De-

Green soon will be the color that will

wish to commit their missives to the
care Of Uncle Sam. Aluminium-color-
ed post boxes are doomed, and the
order has gone forth that boxes every
where are to become brilliant
grass hue.
The change is because aluminium
paint has not proved satisfactory.
"There's nothing like green" declared
Assistant Postmaster Hubbard yester-
day. "Green retains Its yirillty and
freshness much longer THAN does
aluminium. Aluminium paint becomes
dirty,i dingy and rusty, while green
remains spick-and-span. The change
is simply a common sense move and Is
return to the green boxes that pre-
ceded the present ones. Twelve years
or so ago the old green boxes were
done away with.

New Sun Spots Are Twelve Times
Larger Than Earth.

Boston MASS, July 1.-two sun
spots are now exciting considerable
interest among the Harvard astronon-
ers on account OF their size. They
are close together, somewhat above
the center and on the right side. They
are ESTIMATED to be 100000 miles in
diameter, twelve timesIa as big as the
earth. When they first appeared on FRI
day they were not easily visible, but now
they can be plainly seen through
smoked glass, or even the naked eye
when the sun is low. Whether the
hot hot weather is caused or effected
by them is not known.
Each spot consists of an umbra, or
dark center, surrounded by an outer
firing Of lighter penumbra. The whole
is irregularly oval. These spots are
supposed to be collections of condensed
gas containing solid matter, but scien-
lists are,not agreed, and some astron-
omers think that the spots are depres-
sions in the surface of the sun or bodies
moving from the earth to the sun.
The spots on the sun at present are
among the largest which have appear
ed In recent years, although they can
not compare with those which ap-
peared In 1892.
