FINDS MORE SPOTS ON SUN.
Latest Discovered Group Has Length
Of $4,000 Miles.

Washington.-An enormous group of
solar spots has been observed for the
first time by Prof. George II. Peters of
the United States naval observatory
with the rhoto-heliograph
"They probably appeared on the
suns eastern edge two or three days
ago" said Prof, Peters, but owing to
clouds the observations were unob.
tainable here until now.
"The group at present consists of
two large spots connected by a some.
what smaller one There are a few
outlying spots. The total length of
the group is $4,000 miles, while its
breadth is about 10000 miles. 1t is
nearly one-tenth the apparent diameter
OF the sun and can be easily seen
through smoked or colored glass.
This group is in the southern
hemisphere in the part known as the
sun spot zone, as Was the enormous
group announced last February"

ALWAYS TRUST THE GIRLS

Not long ago a Kansas City stenog.

mined to extend its line. She had
q friend living in the town through
which the line was to run. A let
ter to him, with her savings, would
have enabled him to buy at low
price the land the road needed, and
the peculiar nature Of the ground in
that neighborhood would have en-
abled him to sell at a great profit.
She did not consider the thing more
than a minute, and then decided that
It would be dishonorable thing to
do. Another stenographer in a large
real estate Office became aware Of a
deal in which $15O,OO0 was involved.
Certain information she possessed
would be worth thousands to the other
parties. They made a few advances
and hinted at rewards as high as
$1,000 for her betrayal of her firm.
She Indignantly refused, and told her
employers of the scheme. Another
stenographer was offered $1,000 for
copies Of three letters which she had
written. A lawsuit in which her EN-.
ployers were involved might have
gone against them had the opposing
party been able to secure the in

laid ten 800 bills on her mothers
table and told her they were hers for
the permission to read the letters.
The girl scorned the offer.

SEEKS CAUSE OF LOVE.
PROF. HALL TAKES CENSUS FROM
HAPPY YOUNG COUPLES.
Learns That Eyes, Hair and Some
times Freokles Attract Young La.
dles-says Half of College
Women Don't Marry.

Bostcn.--Precisely what II is-what
attribute or physical characteristic, in
the youth or maiden, the man or wo-
man. that most attracts one of the op-
posite sex, is the problem of which DR..
G Stanley Hall, professor of psycholo-
gy in and president of Clark universi-
ty. Worcester, Mass, has set out to
find the solution.
To this end he has taken census
of young lovers, with a view to learn
ing what in each case has most en-
deared to him or her the particular
object of the affections.
IL was DR. Hall who recently de-
clared that so per cent. of college wo-
men failed to marry, thus contributing
to race suicide. The complete result
of this census of sweethearts DR.. Hall
he has made known an abstract of
what he has learned.
With hundreds of sweethearts heard
from, DR.. Hall states that the charac.
teristics specified by them are, in the
order of their frequency, as follows:
Eyes, hair, size or stature, feet,
brows, complexion, checks, form of
head, throat, ears, chin, hands, neck,
nose, finger nails and contour of face.
Which is to say that more of those
lovers interrogated have found the
loved ones eyes or hair the chief at
traction than anything else.
The women replying to DR.. Halls
questions have also specified these
charms in the men they loved best:
Regular teeth broad shoulders, and
white teeth; and most popular among
men have long lashes and arched
brows.
According to some of those replying.
retrousse nose, freckles and long
neck have been the chief charms.
The voice cuts an important figure
among the charms. With some It is a
high voice; with others a low voice.
Even lisp has been stated as charm.
Laughter, carriage, gait, gesture,
movements of the eye, poses OF the
head and shoulders have also been
specified in the replies.

BOOST PRICES OF LABOR.
Natural Result Of American Demand
for Dates.

For a long time the export of dates
from the Persian gulf to America was
in the hands of one or two firms Now
the field has been entered by others,
and during the past season six con.
Germs in Maskat were packing dates
for American exporters. This compe
tition serves to keep the price we'll up,
as the date caravans come in from
the interior and sell their cargoes at
auction. Contracts for future delivery
are often made with growers and
money advanced. but even then deliv.
cries are usually made subject to the
prices prevailing at the time. There
has been some difficulty experienced
this year in securing labor to pack
the dates for the American market.
This work is done by women, and the
increased trade resulted in scarcity
of hands and an increase of wages. II
the situation exists again next year II
can probably be met by importing
labor either from India or Baluchistan
for the packing season, which begins
in August and is usually over early in
January at the latest.

New York. Thomas A. Edison is

said:

Korean Students Hard Lines.

Koreans evidently want education.
Recently one of them came up from
the country and after all his money
was gone he found It impossible to
stay longer, so he cut his finger and
with the blood wrote TO the minister
of education about his woes. We
think he had better taken iggy and
got to work and earn some money,
rather than go about cutting his fin.

tention were paid to this sort of
stage play you would find Korean

evening.
For this service the only require
ments demanded by the post once
department are that the owners or
occupants of the cottages and camps
shall provide suitable landing places
for the busy little steamers engaged
in the mail delivery. Upon these
landings are erected suitable letter
boxes of design furnished by the
department, and they are so placed as
to be available for the carrier with
out putting him to undue delay.
This service consists of a daily de-
livery from May Is to October 10,
except during July and August, when
two deliveries daily will be made to
the greater portions of the landings
Registered letters, too, are received
and delivered by the carriers, who are
also captains of the boats upon which
they make their trips. Money orders
are as available as at the regular
money order offices.
Marine free rural delivery route
No g. is not the result of days or a
years study. 1t is the steady growth
and the fruits of service inaugurated
several years ago as an experiment on
the part of the post Office department.
Charles II. Buzzell, postmaster at
Lakeport, was its originator, and un.
der his guiding hand the service has
been developed and perfected to its
present condition. Supporting his eff
forts have been the New Hampshire
congressional delegation and former
Congressman Samuel l.. Powers OF
Massachusetts, whose summer home is
located on the route of the mail
boat.
There has not been single back
ward step since the inception of the
service, and the business has practi-
cally doubled each year. For one
week of the season of 1906 the num-
ber of pieces of mail matter delivered
exceeded by several hundred that of
the year when the route was first es.
tablished,
The first boat used when the route
was established was the Robert and
Arthur, owned by the first carrier, DIR.
George II. Saltmarsh of Lakeport,
now state senator for the Fourth dis
trict. The capacity of this boat be-
business, the steamer Dolphin was
built Up to the last year she fully
met all the requirements of fast de-
livery, but during that season the
business of route grew TO such pro-
portions that larger and faster
steamer was found necessary.
So swift and commodiuus mail
steamer was built at Lakerort, and
will be placed in commission this
summer She has been Ghristened,

LONDON USES MUCH WATER.
Enough In One Year to Float the
Navies Of the World.

II has been calculated that IL a els.
tern covering $50 acres and 345 feet
high could be constructed and the wa.
ter supply of London for one year
turned into IL, the warships OF all
the worlds navies could ride at an.
chor there. The figures are given by
TitBits. IL adds IF we now dig
canal 100 feet wide across Europe,
from the extreme north to the south.
and empty our cistern into it, we shall
find that the water in our canal, which
is 2,400 miles long, will rise to a uni-
form height of ten feet. Every drop
of 1t is consumed by the inhabitants
of Greater London within year.
while each man, woman and child
living to-day throughout the world
could draw 90 gallons from it without
exhausting its contents. The mains
through which these hundreds of mil
lions of tons of water flow for the
use of London are almost long enough
to stretch q quarter of the way around
the earth at the equator, while it
would take locomotive, travelling at
the rate of so miles an hour, more
than four days and nights to race
from one end of them to the other.
