seen what they had done, "we're in a
pretty pickle. The only thing for us
to do is to sw ear that the wolf did

Port Arthur ever showed more gen
erosity and courage than did an OBJ
scure Japanese woman far from the
scenes Of war. When Miss Helen
Keller was at the exposition in St.
Louis she visited the Japanese tea
house, and for a few minutes shook
hands with some of the mattresses,
little olive-skinned women who spoke
almost no English, but expressed
their interest and intelligence without
words. Many weeks after Miss Kel-
ler had returned to Boston she heard
from an official of the exposition that
cne of the Japanese mattresses had
gone to St.. Louis physician
and asked to have one of her eyes
taken out and given to Miss Keller.
When she told that such gift was
impossible, she wept in bitter disap-
pointment. '.~. =: .,.... :.

Sun Spots and Magnetic Storms.

0Atl oP0Eo 0AN NId9IVbI~ 0kOJIISs
The discovery Of the periodicity of
magnetic storms has been explained
by Mr.. Walter Maunder to the British
Astronomical Association. BY the dis
cussion of some hundreds of Green
wich Observatory records Mr.. Maun-
der was led to the inference that mag
netic storms occur at intervals of
tWenty-seven days eight hours-which
is the period of the suns revolution
on it's axis with respect to the earth.
A magnetic storm is one that perturbs
the compass needle, interferes with
electric currents and impedes telegra-
ply, and Mr.. Maunder's discovery
amounts to this, that when a particu-
lar part of the suns surface is turned
toward the earth-say sun spot-it
may cause magnetic disturbance,
which will probably be repeated
twenty-seven and one-third days" later,
though there may be periods of no dis
turbance.. The magnetic storm con-
sists, Mr.. Maunder believes, of ma
terial particles, doubtless electrically
charged, shot from a sun-spot region,
in streamers, like water from a hose
or like the rays emitted from radi-
um. If this be 50, then the earth s
atmosphere must be subject to solar
bombardments- which has for some
time been. believed-and certain areas
or spots of the suns surface must; be

thought himself, when in San Fran
cisco, to take stroll across the con-
tinent. He induced friend-like
himself, an educated man-to accom-
pany him, and in three weeks they
reached Los Angeles. Five weeks
more brought them to Albuquerque

the rest of the distance by proxy, as
they had earned few dollars and
could buy a rickety covered cart and

gave birth to a colt, thus the wagon
