THE SUN A PUZZLE.
We See Only the Outer Shells Of tho
Great Blazing Orb.

The great ball Of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No one
has ever seen the sun. A series of
concentric shells envelops n nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing eX-
cept that it must be almost infinitely
hotter than the fercest furnace and
that it must amount to more than nine
tenths of the solar mass.
That nucleus is the real sun, forever
hidden from us. The outermost of the
cnveloping shells is about 5000 miles
thick and is called the chromosphere.
1t is gaseous fluid, tinted with the
scarlet glare of hydrogen, and so furi-
ously active that it spurts up great
tongues of glowing gas prominences)
10 the height of thousands of miles.
Time was when this agitated sea of
crimson fire could be seen to advantage
only during an eclipse. Now special i'll
struments are used which enable as
trouomers to study it in the full glare
of the sun.
Beyond the chronOsphere, far beyond
the prominences even. lies the nebulous
palld corona visible only during the
vanishing moments of total eclipse.
aggregating not more than seven days
in a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily eX-
planned how the Shighly attenuated
matter composing both the promi
nences and the corona is supported
without falling back into the sun un-
der the pull of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenius has cosmically applied
the effects of light pressure solution
IS presented.
How difficult 1t is to account for
such delicate streamers as the promi
nences on the sun is better compre-
hended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip Of
solar gravitation.
If the sun We're a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to its
surface,.you would find yourself pulled
down so forcibly by gravitation that
you would weigh two tons, assuming
that you are an ordinary human being.
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than hundred pounds Baseball
could be played in a solar drawing
room, for there would be some diff
Guilty in throwing a ball more than
thirty feet.
Tennis would be degraded to form
of outdoor pingpong.
From these considerations 1t is plain
that gravitation on. the sun would tend
to prevent the formation Of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
surface masses Of any size.-Harper's
Magazine.

There are at least 235, 900 dogs In
Constantinople, which has population
of 1.15O,0OO. They are the vilest Of
towards and are the scavengers Of the
city. 1t is said that scores of people
are bitten daily by the dogs of Con-
stantinople, but that a case Of hydro
phobia was never known there. Three
centuries ago Nassuf Pasha, grand
viZier to Achmet I'LL, transported al!
the dogs to Asia and would have had
them destroyed there, but the sultan,
on consulting the mufti, was told that
every dog had q soul and consequently
forbade such wholesale destruction.
After the slaughter of the janiZaries
Mahmoud intended to get rid Of them,
for he caused an immense number Of
sausages @ to be made and, having
poisoned them, gave the dogs q feast.
Many thousands were thus killed in
one day, but the people murmured so
much that he was afraid to begin q
second days work. He therefore order
ed them to be expelled to Asia, but the
order was very indifferently executed,
and in a short time the dogs were as
numerous as during the time of the
1ani2arieS

THE FOREHEAD.
What Its Size and Shape Are Said 20
Indicate.

A high forehead to be very good
should lie we'll developed about the
eyebrows.
Breadth Of forehead is always favor
able 1t is distinctly connected with
breadth of character.
A forehead that curves back reveals
Il poetic temperament, a fondneSS for
the arts and n talent for either music
or painting.
OF course a broad forehead may be
part of a weak face, and a weak chin
and mouth will naturally give Il truer
impression of character than even 4
combination of narrow forehead
with an. otherwise strong face.
If there is quite Il perceptible bulge
of the eyebrows combined with Il high
forehead. the sign is of calm, cool,
deliberate thinker.
If With these eyebrows is combined
q forehead that slopes gradually back,
Il sensitive, poetic temperament is dis
closed. If, again, they are combined
with short, narrow forehead the
subject will be successful in business
and in everything connected with
worldly matters, but he will be in
capable of apprecating to any extent
or of creating anything connected with
the arts.-New York American.

A Girl After His Own Heart.

A Scotchman. wishing to know his
fate at once, telegraphed proposal of
marriage to the lady Of his choice.
After spending the entire day at the
telegraph office he was finally reward
ed late in the evening by an affirma-
tive answer.
"If were you," suggested the opera
tor when he delivered the message.
I'D think twice before I'd marry a
girl that kept me waiting all day for
my answer"
"Na, na," retorted the Scot. 'The
lass who waits for the night rates is
the lass for me" e."-Everybody's Maya

WHICH WAS RIGHT2
See If Y9r Can Untansle the Knots In
This Problem.

A Young man named Enathus de
sired to learn eloquence and art OF
pleading, and he bargained with Pro
tagoras, the ancient Greek sophist, fol
Instructions. agreeing to pay one hall
Of the fee down and the other half OF
the first day he gained n case. 1t took
the Young man so long to learn that
his tutor came to the conclusion that
he was delaying his start in business
to avoid paying the other half OF the
fee, so protagoras sued him for the
money.
When the case came up for trial Pro
tagoras said to the young man: You
act most absurdly, young man, be-
cause in either case you must pay me
If the judges decide against you, you
must pay, and If they decide for you
you must pay, for you will then have
gained your case"
"You are wrong" replied the young
man. Il will win either way. If the
judges are for me, l will not have tC
pay, and If they are against me l will
not have to pay. for this last was the
very bargain between us-namely, If
did not win my case"
The judges considered the case mex
plicable, and as they could not see
their way to any decision they ad'
journed the case to a day that neve-
came for any Of the principals. On
Prota agoras' side it was a case Of les
ing when he won and on the young
students side winning when he lost.

OF the many stories Of the seemingly
unconscious heroism of Newfoundland
dogs none Is more interesting than the
one concerning the noble dog which
Morland afterward painted.
When William Phillips. bathing at
Portsmouth, ventured beyond his depth
and was drowning, two boatmen, in
stead Of setting out to his rescue, hag-
gled about n reward from the bystand-
ers, who were urging them to go to
Phillips rescue. In the midst of the
controversy Newfoundland dog
1eaped into the water and brought the
exhausted bather to shore. Mr.. Phil
lips bought the dog from its owner. a
butcher, and yearly gave a festival in
honor Of bis rescuer.
1t was for Mr.. Phillips that Morland
painted the dogs picture, and Barto-
1ozzi engraved it.

ANIMALS AMBIDEXTROUS.
Why Man Gives Preference to Righ
Hand Over Left.

Right handedness and right eyednoss
came with genus homo. DR.. George NJ.
Gould has watched for them in sQuir-
rels that use their front paws tothod
nuts, cats that strike at insects in the
atr or play with wounded mice and in
many other animals, but he is certain
DO preference is given to the right side
over the left.
But in the lowest human savages all
over the world choice in greater ex-
pertness of one hand is clearly present.
One cause for its development is in
primitive military customs. In all
tribes and countries since man used
implements Of offense and defense the
left side, where the heart lies, has been
protected by the shield, and the left
hand was called the shield hand, while
the right hand was called the spear
hand.
Next to fighting came commerce.
The fundamental condition Of barter
ing was counting with the low mum.
bers. one to ten The fingers of the free
or right hand were naturally first used.
and all fingers today are called digits,
as are the figures themselves, while
the basis of our numberings is the deci-
NAL or ten fingered system. Every drill
and action of the soldier from ancient
Greece to modern America is right sid
ed in every detail. Firing from the
right shoulder and sighting with the
right eye bring the right eye into prom
inence.-Exchange

Orioin of Boston's Glory,

Even as early as the days Of Henry
VIII. some sort of volunteer force
had existed in England, and what is
now the Honorable Artillery company
was formed at that time and became a
center of instruction for the city train
ed bands during the time of Cromwell.
The Honorable Artillery company may
be counted among the things which
crossed in the Mayfiower, for in 1893
was formed the Ancient and Honora-
bic Artillery Company Of Massachu-
setts.-I.ondCn News.

A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way 1t
Was Found.

A wealthy New York lawyer sat Ut
late one night writing letters he had
not been able TO finish during the day.
1t was past midnight when he went out
to mail them, and when he returned
and was undressing he paused in dis
may. missing a check for n large sum
received during the day and taken
home with him. In vain was the house
ransacked at that late hour. He went
to bed convinced that the lost check
must be in the house An hour later
he fell into uneasy slumber and beheld
as with his eyes Of the flesh the pink
check cnrled about an area railing four
Or tasye doors from his own house.
SO real was the dream that the trou-
bled man woke up, dressed and, Slip
ping down the stairs into the street,
walked along the sidewalk to a spot
still seen vividly in his mind, and there,
sure enough, standing edge upward and
partly curled about the iron, was the
missing check. Il think" he reported
to the Psychical Research society, my
subconsciousness must have noticed 1t
fall from my pocket as walked to the
mail box and my subliminal self point
ed it out to me In sleep."-William G.
Fitz-Gerald In New York Tribune.

CONTINUOUS ROUND OF
LAUGHTER AT SHOW

The first appearance of the Allen
Curtis Musical Comedy Company at
the Majestic Theatre last night vas
performance drew a continuous round
of laughter n applause, n thus
it's popularity with the audience was
| demonstrated. 1t is a company of the
sort that seldom reaches towns off
the railroad trunk lines, and is con
sequently a treat for the average the
a%tre-goer in Roswell.
The entire program last night was
made up of songs, dances and farce
C NEEDY, under the name of "Jakey,
Mickey and key" the three charac-
tiers in the title role affording most
of the fun for the evening. The cho-
rus of seven voices contributes the
greater part of the musical program.
pany is the full, round musical bari
tone of Herbert Lindley. Marguerite
LaPonte has a melodious, clear sopra-
no voice, but hardly had a fair chance
to display it last night.
Allen Curtis, as "Ikey," is the lead
ing comedy character, and plays ais
part exceptionally well, but many
last night considered Arthur C1emage,
as "Jakey," the Dutchman, the star
performer. Ed Schooley, as Mickey
was a perfect Irishman of a certain
type, but not SO humorous as often
seen. Winifred Green gave several
song specialties and was very clever
in her dance numbers.
The show is replete with feature
and novelty songs, all catchy and
new.
The company plays again tonight
