was given in Philadelphia the other day.
when all the advocates Of reform joined
IN a day of prayer for the city officials.
About 200 preachers met in Holy Trim
ity church and prayed that the ''shackles
of the gang be stricken from our sinful
Mayor" About 300 others held services
in their own churches. Prayer meetings
We're held in homes and in one church
1000 women prayed and tasted the en-
tire day. Thousands upon thousands of
prayers We're made between the hours of
10 and 4. Before the meetings men pa
raded the streets with banners inscribed
Pray for the Mayor
Some prominent business men protest
ed against the gathering, asserting that
it was an absurdity. The prayer meet
inGs were part of the anti-vice crusade
which is being waged il Philadelphia.
The Mayor, who is a prominent church
man. has been appealed TO to bring about
reforms and has been asked to remove
the head of the police department and
failed to do so.

Largest Seen in Many Years.
The large spot which now appears on
! the face of the sun, according to the 10
| ledO Blade is the largest observed IN
many years. The largest spot which
appeared on the sun measured l0O'OOO
| miles, and was seen in February, lo9-.
The present spot denotes an unusual ac-
tiyity and is caused by the upheaval or
vast amount of gaseous matter from
the interior portion of the sun. This
greah volcano Of gas forces itself through
the philosophers, which is the visible sur
face of the sun and the highly disturbed
area Ofttimes takes on a cyclOnlc move
ment. The central portion of the spot
or group of spots. is generally dead black
in appearance. This central portion is
called the nucleus, and the spot gener-
ally shades off into light gray towards
the edges. The present spot seems to
be made up of a group of spots; forty or
fifty dead black patches can be observed.
intermingled with the lighter portions.
The form changes rapidly and this
change can be noted from day to day,
and sometimes from hour to hour.
The central nucleus of the present spot
is large enough to permit the passage of
four bodies, the size Of our own earth,
without grazing the edges. While the
sun spots appear black to the eye. this is
20 Indication that they are not highly
luminous areas, for a brilliant arc light
will appear black when viewed against
the suns surface. When we look at the
side of a house in the brilliant sunlight,
the open windows of that house appear
black to the eye. We know that should
we enter the house and find ourselves in
the rooms containing those windows, that
the rooms would be unusually we'll illum-
mated and quite light. The windows
only appear black in comparison with
the brightly illuminated surface of the
house side. This illustration will hold
good also with the appearance of sun
spots. 1t is possible that a nucleus or
black portion is a hole in which we see
q portion of the suns interior through
the outer visible philosophers, and it APP
pears black by comparison. 1t is in re-
atty more highly luminous than anything
we can imagine on the earth. The sun
revOlves on its axis once in % days con-
sequently the present spot will soon pass
from our field of view and the disturb
ance caused by the eruption will have
subsidized before that portion of the suns
surface comes into sight

UNEXPECTED GOOD LUCK.
>@@~@~@~@~@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

A retired banker who now lives In
San Francisco is fond Of telling the
story Of the way in which he was
"held up by a desperate in Arizona
At that time the banker owned q small
copper mine in Arizona, and had gone
down there to show it to an eastern
man who wished to buy. He liked the
mine, and took it. and to the astonish-
ment Of the former owner, he paid
for it in United States bills of large de,
nomination.
l asked him how he dared to travel
away from the line of the railroad
with so much money, but he laughed,
says the banker, and replied that he
didn't know any one in the region who
would cash his check, and that no one
knew he had the money, anyhow. Then
l parted company with him. He rode
back to PheniX, while 1 started with a
fresh pony toward the main line Of the
railway, twenty miles away.
1 didn't feel very nervous, for l was
riding across the desert, which was
entirely fat except for the scattered
blue mesas that stood like loaves of
bread upon its surface. 1t was not
until l saw another horseman coming
toward me that scented trouble. You
see this happened not very long ago,
and the old habit Of carrying weapons
had already begun to fall Off, so 1 was
completely unarmed
"Hello, stranger" said the newcom-
er, who looked extremely hard up
give lost my way. Which way are
you going"
l made the best Of it and chatted
pleasantly with him. Finally, when
he had looked me all over, he said.
stranger, I've got a gun and YOU
haven't, l reckon, so I'll ask you to
hand over your watch and money. and
then III say good-by."
He had taken out revolver, and it
seemed advisable to follow his direc-
tons. l gave him my watch and loose
change, but he did not seem satisfied,
and made me get off my horse, and
after he had Drollcd me he discov-
