FACTS ABOUT SUN SPOTS.
They Often Break Out and Disappear
Under the Eye of the
Observer.

That great sun spot that Chicagoans
we're treated to recently did not smash
the record for bigness, even though it
did appear to do SO to those who looked
at it with naked eyes through Chicago's
smoke, says the News, of that city.
Some astronomers said that the spot
was 10000 miles across. and others that
it's diameter was 5000 miles. But even
80, 700 miles would not be the record
diameter. For, back in 1S43. when the
Millerites were looking for the end OF
the world, there was a great sun spot
that to many seemed to lend weight to
the Milleritesl arguments from the time
prophecies in the Bible. For a week in
that year there was a sun spot that was,
visible to the naked eye. 1t measured
74,S16 miles across. On the day Of the
eclipse in 1858 a spot 100000 miles in
extent was clearly seen. These spots
are considered to be storms in the glow
ing gases that correspond to the atmos-
phere Of this earth. At there were ships
on the sun as large as this earth they
would be tossed about like autumn
leaves in an ocean storm.
These solar spots are most abundant
on the two sides OF the suns equator,
where they mark something akin to a
terrestrial cyclone belt The center Of
a cyclone is rarefied and therefore cold
er. Cold on the sun is darkness. An
astronomer says that these cyclones
carry down into the depths Of the solar
mass the cooler materials of the upper
layers, formed principally Of hydrogen,
and thus produce in their center a de-
cided extinction OF light and heat as
long ais the gyratory movement lasts.
Finally the hydrogen. set free at the
base of the whirlpool, becomes reheated
at this great depth and rises up tumult-
uously, forming irregular jets, which
appear above the c~hromosphere.
Sun spots often break out or disap-
pear under the eye OF the observer,
They divide like q piece Of Ice dropped
on the surface Of a frozen pond, the
pieces sliding off in every direction. OF
they combine like separate foes driven
together into a pack. Sometimes a spot
will last for more than 200 days, through
six or eight revolutions of the sun
Sometimes a spot will last only half an
hour.
THE velocities indicated by these
movements writes Henry White War.

These tempests are over regions Sd wide

There is no way you a tell If a girl

at you with eyes that are as black as

New York. The most remarkable
Fuit ever tried in a court of law will
be heard when the New York supreme
court takes up its autumn calendar.
Yet to say that the cas- will be
heard is not stating the exact facts,
for the testimony will be given in that
most silent form of all ~silence-the
sign language of the deaf-mutes. Both
the parties to the cast are mutes and
all the witnesses, of whom there Will
be 80 or 60, are likewise afflicted, SO
that the story of the trouble that has
landed them in court will come from
the fingers instead of from the lips.
But this is not the only remarkable
feature of this unusual case, which is
further complicated by the fact that
some of the witnesses cannot speak"
English, 50 that a great deal OF the
testimony will have to be given first

Case OF Wide Interest.
The New York World, commenting
upon this remarkable case. says:
Eighty thousand deaf3mutes in this
country. and fully as many more IN
Germany. Austria and France, will be
affected by the outcome OF the case,
whatever it may be, for the parties at
law are both among the most prom
inent mutes in the world, and what
ever interests them will interest their
fellows in the United States and Eu-
rope.
THE belligerents are both prom
inent in New York city, where they
reside. There are two suits, one
brought as an Offset &c the other, so
that both parties are plaintiffs and
each is a defendant. And, most GU
rious point of all, considering the fact
that everyone connected with the af-
fair is a deaf-mute, the twin suits are
tor-slander!
ut would be hard, then, to conceive
a more intricate, complicated. para
doxical situation than presents itself
now.
Jacques Loew, Of the plaintiff
defendants. is a well-known resident
of New YORK.. which he has made his
home for the past 80 years since he
came from Austria. Although a deaf
mute, he is an expert worker in leath-
er and plush goods, and made a good
living ever before he became a part
ner in one of the biggest concerns
manufacturing these goods. For a
score of years he was a prominent fig
ure at Fleischmann's Vienna bakery,
where his huge white mustache and
dignified bearing earned for him the
sobriquet Of The Baron He break
tasted at Fleiscbmann's early every
morning, and at dinner every evening
was generally surrounded by a score
or more of guests, all deaf-nutes
whose animated conversation was
most interesting to other patrons Of
