of the sun, after the absorption by the
earth's atmosphere. as received at Wash
ington, appeared to have fallen off by 10
per cent. and it seemed possible that there
had been a decrease of the solar radiation
itself since the early part of the year 1903.
By the aid of improved instruments the in
vestigations had been continued particularly
with reference to the increase or diminu-
ton of the original solar radiation apart
from that absorbed by the earth's atmos-
phere. These observations apparently in
Dictated that this radiation fell off at the
source of energy in the sun, and the
amount by which this solar radiation was
diminished appears to be in general accord
with the statements of meteorological OBJ
seryatories as to the changed temperature
at the earth's surface. While the state
ment Is not made that this diminuton was
unquestfonabiy due to change in the solar
envelope, and further observations are nee
essary. the study of the connection between
this apparent diminution of the solar en-
ergy and the unusually cold seasons that
had been experienced here during the last
two or three years is of very great impor-
lance in view of the possibility of it's con-

Explanation of Conditions.

Attorney Geo. E. Hamilton said that the
advocacy of the two projects is rather in
the nature Of family council than a fam
lily quarrel. One faction, he said, Is urging
temporary relief from an undesirable con-
diton-something to meet the Immediate
and urgent necessities-whle the other fac
ton is urging the adoption of Il project for
the future. He strongly urged the Commits
sioners to recommend favorable action On
the bridge project. which will cost only
about $4,000 or 100000. Mr.. Hamilton
declared that the total cost of the tunnel
would amount to great deal more than
the estimates call for.
Judge G. s. Bundy. as the representative
of the Board of Trade, stated that the or
eanization is in favor of the bridge project.
The attitude of the Board of Trade was also
stated in communication laid before the
Commissioners. signed by VIM. M. Shuster,
under date of January %.
At the close Of the hearing Commissioner
Macfarland stated that the Commissioners
will carefully consider the arguments pre-
scented in favor of each project.
The Narrowing Of Roadways.
The representatives of the Northeast Citi-
zens' Association protested against the
policy of the Commissioners In narrowing
the roadway of streets in the northeast
section. and particularly against the pro-
posed narrowing of G.. It'll and Sth streets
northeast. Secretary Samuel Sowerbutts,
President Evan III. Tucker and Mr.. A. III.
F. Holster presented the arguments for the
association.
Secretary Sowerbutts declared that the
situation appears to be one of considerable
seriousness to the citizens 1t seems 10 he
the general policy of the COMMISSIONERS he
said, to narrow the streets in Northeast
Washington He said that c and e streets
and Florida avenue have been narrowed
The reason for the adoption of the policy
by the Commissioners, he presumed, Is
that they desire to improve the streets as
far as possible with the limited appropria-
tons. He believed that the Commissioners
should not narrow the streets. but instead
improve them as they now exist so far as
the appropriation will permit.
Commissioner Mcfarland mentioned that
roadways of streets in other sections of the
city have been narrowed without arousing
any protest excepting in one or two cases.
Mr.. Sowerbutts again referred to the
policy of the Commissioners In narrowing
the streets. whereupon Colonel Biddle
