New York.--A lone woman traveller,
who since last October has covered a

conference of the earth, arrived here
the other day aboard the North Ger

Of Detroit, Mich, a widow of middle
age, with a taste for exploration and
means to crafty it. She headed for
the unknown world by way of San

took steamship TO Japan.

BELIEVES IN SUN SPOTS.
A Word About a FaVorite Theory as
70 Short Crops.

In the bottom of its heart a good
part of the financial community cher.
Ishes the suspicion that financial
crises, especially when caused or ac.
companied by bad harvests, have
something TO do with sun spots"
says the New York Post. The argu.
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once in ten years and so do panics;
that Sun spots" very probably cause
abnormal seasons on our own planet
and that abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble in the stock eX-
change. Nobody would need to take
this seriously but for the fact that, 80
years ago, very eminent English
economist frankly asserted his belief
In the theory Prof Jevons was so
confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted a European panic in
1879 because the "sun-spot" activity
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1897 was one of sun-spoL maximum
and also year OF commercial panic.
Sun spots were very active in 1871,
1879 and 1873 and we know what hap
pened in the markets. In 1889 a VIC
| lent maximum was reached; Europe
| had a stock.eXchange panic in 1882
| and the United States one I'm 1884.
There was o famous "sun-spot year.
IE 1898 and, what is more TO the point
we are still in period of solar actiyi'
| ty and disordered markets.
SO far. this is all very well; but LET
us be thorough. The panic OF 1851
| Was one of the worst on the list and
1857 came in a period of sun-spot
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of Englands financial crises oc
, CURED, solar activity was at the low
est level in decade A period oi
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 anC
continued into the Barring year,
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect
Prof. Jevons thought that the effec
was brought about through crop fail
ureB. The astronomers tell u3, how
ever that so far as there is any CORE
spondence cold years, rains and in
undations appear to correspond t
those when the sun is quiet; dry ant

PRETTY IDEAS IN TRIMMING.
Narrow FrIls Of MousseIine and Lace

one OF the silk coats and mousseline
skirt frocks which figure among the
cuts. Alternate narrow frills Of yalen-
ciennes lace and mousseline cover
the skirt to line above the knees and
the sleeves, which are left visible by
the sleeveless casaque, are also COM
posed OF alternating frills of nous
sellne and of lace.
Tiny frills of soft ribbon trim many
sheer frocks the ribbon being used in
profusion, and countless narrow bands

you Yankees send your representa-

penetration for which you are gen

lace, should be welcomed, and one is
