Does the SUN Change shapee

Professor c. L. Poor as the result of
careful study Of heliometer measure
ments, confirmed By that Of solar pho
tographs, decided that the sun period
ically changes It's figure, being some
times an oblate spheroid like the earth,
with its equatorial diameter exceeding
the polar, and sometimes a probate
spheroid, having q greater polar than
equatorial diameter. His idea is that
the solar globe is to be regarded as q
vibrating body, having an equatorial
diameter on the average slightly in
excess of the polar, but changing at
certain times so that the ratio Of the
two diameters is temporarily reversed.
The period of variability, he thinks, Is
the same as the sun spot period. The
changes of figure, If they really occur
are so small that only the most delicate
observations can make them manifest
but, affecting O body of such supreme
Importance as the sun, they must pos
sess much scientific interest.-Londor

Writing in the Independent Re

original Of Pecksnif was Samuel Car

no man, venture to think, ever had
q larger stock Of tags of morality and
commonplace quotations from the po-
cts" In 1879 he was involved in a
libel action, and to his great indigna-
ton several papers referred to him as
"Pecksnif" He had none Of Peck

er, but he was vain, odicious, indis-
Greet, self compliment. q boastful
poseur. extensively voluble and over
flowed with moral platitudes. How
ever. in spite Of those failings, which
marked him as outwardly like to the
great hypocrite, Dir. Hall bore no real
resemblance to the mean, dishonest
and vicious creature depicted By Dick

He was sitting in church one bright
Sunday in summer when his attention
was arrested by the sight of a stran-
ger in the Hardys' pew, a slip of a
girl in blue muslin, with wide pic
ture hat trimmed with roses.
From where he sat he could see the
delicately tinted oval Of her cheek and
the pale gold of her wavy hair. Then
she turned her head, and their eyes
met. Hers were dark gray, fringed
with heavy lashes. Ellery's heart be-
gan a ridiculous tattoo, the hands that
were holding his book trembled, and he
colored to the roots Of his hair.

some one behind him. Every now and

DEFENDANTS NOT TRUSTEES
Streeter Says, Except just a Little
Messenger Who Didn't Go.

Streeter says that with the excep-
ton OF a small amount of property for
the benefit of a relative, none of the
defendants are trustees for any Of
Mrs. Eddy's property or investments.
What legal steps he will take in the
matter. of course, he declines to say.
1t is lea d that about o'clock last
Friday aft moon, the day on which
the bill in equity WAS filed, a messen-
ger from George w. Glover, of Dead
wood, S. D. the son Of Mrs. Eddy, de-
livered to her letter in which Glover
stated his purpose Of beginning the
suit At 4:50 o'clock that afternoon
Rev. Irving c. Tomlinson, one of the
defendants named in the suit, left Con-
cord. his mission being it Is under
stood, to go to Glover. Tomlinson is
said to have in his possession for de
livery to Glover a deed Of trust for a
certain sum Of money, variously est
mated at from 100000 to $685. 600.
This money. it is declared, was to be
delivered to Glover on three conditions
SIS follows: First, that neither he nor
his household should make any further
demands upon Mrs. EDDY; second, that
they should offer no objections to thf
probating OF any will that might be
offered after her DEATH third. that
offered after her death; third, that theJ
ing to set aside any gifts, deeds or CON
veyances that Mrs. Eddy might make
| during her lifetime.
Meantime John w. Kelley, of Ports
mouth, one of the attorneys interested
In bringing the proceedings, had filed
the bin in equity with the clerk of tbs
superior court, and notified Streeter
counsel for Mrs. Eddy, OF the fact
Streeter had a long conference witt
Kelley and Martin. during which h
made it known that the deed Of trus
was to be given to Glover. This con
ference came to an end when Streete
was informed that the fact that TIL
bill had been filed had been given t
the press. and Streeter then recallet
Tomlinson from his mission.

WISCONSIN MUCH SURPRISED
But There Are Plenty of Men who
Have Hopes.

I1dft I1OltCSs
Milwaukee. March 4.-The announce
ment from Washington that United
States Senator John C. Spooner. of
Wisconsin, had sent his resignation to
Governor James o. Davidson, to take
effect on May l next, came as a COM
piete surprise throughout Wisconsin.
Governor Davidson, wnen commune
,ated with over the long distance tele-
phone. said he had not vet received
the resignation. and could hardly be-
lieve 1t to be true. As to Spooner'g
successor Governor Davidson said that
It would be left TO the legislature
which was now in session ana proba-
bly, would be on May /, to elect &
successor to fill the unexpired term
which would end with March 4. 1909
Governor Davidson would not talk
for publication at this time as to
SpoOner's successor further than to
lay he presumed that some OF the
Wisconsin representatives. naming
Cooper and Esch. who were candidates
or the senatorship al the time IaFol-
Tie field Governor Davidson said lie
would not be a candidate for the high
office at this time. Lieutenant Govern
Or ". d. Connor expressed surprise
at the news of the senior senator's res
Ignation, but was not prepared at this
time to make a statement as to his
ambitions. Isaac Stephenson, the
millionaire lumber king of Marinette
said that while he was not prepared
to make a statement at this time as to
Spooner's successor he knew of no one
who would refuse such a high Office Il
1t were rendered him.
Lively times are expected in the Wis
consin legislature from now on, and
1t is expected that before many hours
elapse there will be many candidates
in the field for the unexpired term Of
Senator Spooner. 1t is believed thai

when it created great surprise, and
the Wisconsin senator at once found
himself the subject Of many anxious
inquiries. To all he replied that his
mind was fully made up. He had
found. he said. that TO continue in his
present position would require sacri-
fee on his part that he could not justi
fy himself in making.
He Told Only the Vice President.
IN reply to questions he said he
would resume the practice of law, but
declined to say whether he would be
located IN Wisconsin. He did say,
however, that he would continue to be
o citizen of that state as long as he
lives. Vice President Fairbanks was
one of the few public men to be made
acquainted with Spooner's plans before
he wrote his letter The knowledge
came to him through the personal con-
fidence of the senator. but the latter
made no official communication on the
subject to either the senate or It's pre-
siding officer. The law does not re-
auire that a resigning senator should
do more than Spooner has done. but
some senators who have resigned have
given notice TO the senate.
Cannot Afford to Serve Longer.
Spooner's letter to Governor David
BON says that today he will have
served as senator sixteen years, and
that this is a long time for one to take
from his profession when he is neither
willing nor financially able to perma-
nently abandon that profession, espe-
ciaily as he has not during his service
pursued his profession, except with a
fcw trifing exceptions all purely local
He refers to his announcement in 1900
that he would retire in 1903, and his
unanimous reelection in spite of that
announcement, which caused him to ac
cept reelection as a public duty. but
says that now his determination is ir.
revocable. He closes with a warm ex
preston of his thanks for the gener
Gus confidence reposed in him by the
Republicans Of Wisconsin.

country. In the first place the route
of the G1idden tour was widely adj
vertised and everyone knew hours be-

pass through the various towns and
cities. In the next place the Glidden
tour is not a race but is an endurance
run- A test to prove which car can
stand best the rough usage of the
trip The car which Marshal Drischell
caused to be stopped in Richmond up
to that time had held a perfect score
of 1000 and was penalized on account
of DrischelPs action. We do not wish
to be considered as condoning reck-
less speeding of automobiles, but
there is reason to doubt whether the
Glidden party that was held up here
was guilty of breaking the speed linn

guilty and paid their fine but that was
because they dared not waste any
more valuable time from the trip, to
attempt to fight the case. This ac-

Richmond some unpleasant notoriety,
