TEST ITALIAN LABOR.


birmingham. Sept 23.--(Special. -
The Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
Corlpany~is making test with Italian
labor In the place of negroes around
furnaces.
No. furnace at Besseper Is sup
piled with large batch of Italians.
The men so far have given satisfaction
though there has been no pay day since
the men have been at work of this
kind. 1t was hard matter in the past
where negroes are doing the furnace
work to get full list of men inimedi-
ateiy after the pay days.
1t takes go many men to handle the
buggies of coke, ore and limestone, so
many men to manage the elevators at
bottom and top where the new mate
rial is being fed into the furnace and
TO do other work around the iron max
ers. The foundrymen and skilled labot
are white men.
The Italians placed at work at No
furnace at Bessener are giving sat
isfaction and 1t is not improbable II
the experiment will be broadened a lit
tie and foreigners put to work at other
furnaces. There is a large quantity
of foreign labor being brought to this
district and 1T Is now being used in all
classes of work.

be the plan for the organization of a

tbe interval hitherto spoken of as 1.-THE" sun
SPOT period may be due to the emphasis gwen
ot certain times by the minor periods to the
chief one and the depressing effect eXerted at
other times If the maxima of the eleven year
term and the 47S year term practically coin
cided. the effect would probably be more oO-
vious than if the minimum stage or the $40

fer seems 10 have determined is much more

believed 10 be outward and visible signs or
forces acting from within the solar mass.
Mathematical analysis may yet show that the
seeming chaos results from the interplay OF
several periodicities which are fairly regular
IN themselves.
This hypothesis alone might assist the astron-
opler to discover the cause OF sunspOtS-a myS-

Is once satisfied he would undoubtedly possess
the secret of the variability in brilliancy or
many other stars. All stars are believed to be
suns. some of them much bigger than ours, and
hundreds Of them are known to undergo sys-
tematic changes in brightness. Again the hope
of proving that a relationship exists between
solar disturbances and terrestrial weather has
been cherished by nj least few scientific men
cor the last twenty-five or thirty years. The
outlook is al one time promising and then ii
is dsheartening. Should the dream Of these
enthusiasts ever be realized, a sharp definition
Of perOdiCites might promote successful fore
casting of the general character of seasons over
a large area, if not Of particular storms. Sun

THE RUSSIAN ELECTIONS.

Much disappointment at the conduct Of the
Russian elections is expressed. and the remark
IS frequently made that the Douma is certain
to be no more than a travesty on a national
assembly. Only a 1.-THE Of the voters, or fewer
are going 10 the polls we are told; there is
much interference with the voting by local func-
tionaries and the police, and the result will be
that "the proletariat organizations which bore
the bTunt Of the fight for liberty" will abso-
lutely deny the authority OF the Douma to speak
for the Russian nation. Much Of this is prob
ably true, and all of IT may be- though it is diff
hcult TO determine what is really taking place
IN Russia But, granted that the worst reports
are true, there are several things 10 be consid-
cred judiciously before final estimate is made
OF the Donna
We have no doubt that the reactionarles who
control many local offices and a large part Of
the police are interfering to some extent with
the elections. Their doing so is outrageous, but
outrageous conduct has been the immemorlal
practice Of their tribe. On the other hand, we
are told that the workingmen's organizations are
largely boycotdng the elections For their doing
so we can perceive no good reason. In some
cases they are said TO have declared they would
not vote unless there was general Jail delivery
Of all their comrades who had been locked I'D

for them to refrain from voting, when, Of course

exhibits more or less irregularty. Differences
in the extent Of the area Of spottedneSs at the

The existence Of another period about six times

suspected, but it has not vet been authorita-

for a century and a half are available. but the
methods Of measurement and enumeration en-
ployed at first were different from those now in
use. A comparison of the earlier data with
modern statistics, therefore, was bcset with
peculiar perplexities.
From these figures the wsest astronomers
have only felt able to draw conclusions regard
ing the single period the existence Of which is
too obvious TO escape attention. Nevertheless,
Professor Schuster, who has the necessary quail

others, and he mOdestly reports finding three

Simon Newcomb puts at lib years. Their
lengths are AIS, about s25 and 1916 years, re-
spectively. Concerning the possibility that there
may be period Of between sixty-six and sixty
seven years Professor Schuster prefers not to ex-
press IN opinion at present, but he points out
| several interesting condolences. The numbers
representing the three smallest periods which
have been detected have a common multiple IN
