Not Due to Sun Spots.

Professor E. G. Perisho, of the geo.
logical and astronomical chairs in tie
state university, does not believe that
the recent cold weather is due to the
presence OF spots on the sun. He
says: "There IS nothing strange about
this spot except that it is unusually
large, for they frequently appear on
the sun. They are caused by storms
of some sort, resulting in an aglta-
zion nf the outer atmosphere. This,

held at Huron in August, 1889. Tho

than five hundred delegates.
All special appropriations enacted
to this date amount to only 474, 900.
Ii is probable however that the special
items 10 the aggregate will reach
about $500, 900. Even at these figures
