Twice Dismembered.

Some years ago, says Representa-
tive Champ Clark, he was chatting
with a number of senators from the
south in the senate cloak room, when
Butler of South Carolina, whon Clark
then saw for the first time, came in
After introduction to several new
senators an representatives Senator
Butler exchanged a few remarks with
them and then left the room.

Ter was an officer in the Confederate
army, as you know. It was not long
before he had leg shot of. Before
leaving hospital he was supplied with
an artificial leg. Eventually he again
went to the front, and this time a
bit Of shell blew his artificial member
to pieces. Just think, Clark reflec-

THE SUN UNSEEN.
All We See Are Its concentrIc sheI

All We See Are Its Concentric Shells.
The great bali Of fire which we call
the sun is not really the sun. No
of ooncentric shells envelop q nucleus
of which we know absolutely nothing,
except that it must be almost infinite
ly hotter than the fiercest furnace,
and that it must amount to more than
nine-tenths Of the solar mass. That
nucleus Is the real sun, forever hid
den from us. The outermost OF the
envelcplng shells Is about five thou
sand miles thick, and Is called the
"chromcsphere." II is gaseous flood,
tinted with the scarlet glare Of hydro
gen, and so furiously active that 1t
spurts up great tongues OF glowing
gas cprominences") 70 a 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 instruments are
used which enable astronomers to
study it in. the full glare of the sun.
Beyond the chromosphere. far beyond
the prcminences-even. lies the nebu-
lous pallid corona" visible only dur
Ing the vanishing moments Of a total
eclipse. aggregating not more than
seven days in century. No one has
ever satisfactorily explained how the
highly attenuated matter composing
both the prominences and the corona
is supported without falling back into
the sun under the pull Of solar grayi-
tation. Now that Arrhenius has COS
mically applied the effects Of light
pressure a solution Is presented.
How difficult 1t is to account for
such delicate streamers as the "promi-
pences" on the sun is better compre-
bended when we fully understand how
relentlessly powerful is the grip OF
solar gravitation. II the sun were
habitable globe and you could trans
port 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
one hundred pounds. Baseball could
be played in a solar drawing-room, for
there would be some difficulty in
throwing a ball more than thirty feet
Tennis would be degraded to form
of outdoor ping pong. From these
considerations It is plain that gravita-
tion. on the sun would tend to pre-
vent the formation Of any lambent
streamers and to pull down to Its sur
face masses of any siDe.-Harper's

S,OOO,OOO BAGS OF COFFEE
Owned by Brazilian Government
stops Stock Market Gambling.

New York City.-Gambling in cof-
fee on the Now York coffee exchange
has almost ceased. This is true also
In regard to the coffee houses in Eu-
rope. In two days there have been
only few more than 10000 bags of
coffee sold on the New York coffee ex-
change. A year ago the daily sales
were about $4,000 bags.
This condition has been brought
about by the government of Brazil.
In 1906 there was an enormous crop
of coffee. To have marketed the whole
of the product would have sent prices
tumbling and Brazilian planters
would have been ruined. The coffee
had to be disposed of, and so the gov
ernment borrowed money, making the
coffee export duty on 1t security.
This coffee now owned by the gov
ernment amounts to about 5000, 900
bags. The government against this
has borrowed s45,000,000.
With this enormous holding the
government controls the market. AS
prices have fluctuated so little, trans.
actions on the exchange have been
made unprofitable.

BISHOP POTTER is DEAD.
Noted PreIate of New York Passes
Away After Long Illness.

Cooperstown, N. Y. Henry Cod
man Potter, seventh Protestant Epis
copal bishop of the diocese of New
York, died at "Fernleigh," his sum-
mer home, near here. after an illness
Of several weeks.
Death was due primarily to embol-
ism in the right leg following a
long attack of liver and stomach
trouble, and the end had been fore.
seen for some time by the bishops
physicians. Bishop Potter suffered a
severe relapse, and though oxygen
was given him him decline was grad.
ual and he sank into Inconsistencies
which lasted until the end.
Henry Goldman Potter was "a years
old and a native of Schenectady, n.
Y. He had been at the head of the
New York diocese since 1877, succeed.
ing his uncle, Henry Horace Potter.
Bishop Potter created a stir through.
out the country several years ago,
when he took part at the dedication
Of the subway tavern on Bleecker
street, New York. He was noted for
his advocacy of organized labor.
A few years ago Bishop Potter mar.
ried Mrs. Elizabeth Scriven Clark, his
second wife.
Bishop Potter was the son of the
Rev. AlOnzo Potter, who was conse.
Grated bishop of Pennsylvania, in
9S45. He was ordained a priest in
1858

RENTS FREE.
Areas in England Where Rents Have
Not Been Collected.

Proceedings In the Brompton Coun-
ty Court recently revealed the curl
Gus fact that the tenants of eleven
houses in Georges Square Fulham,
had paid no rent for periods varying
from one to seven years. The own
er, q lady, had, it was alleged, been
shut UP In an asylum, and as no col
lector had called on her behalf the
occupants had by degrees deluded
themselves into the belief that they
need not pay any more rent for the
terms of their natural lives.
Such delusions are common enough
under similar circumstances, and these
circumstances are far more common
than most people are apt to imagine.
Only a few months ago a parallel
case cropped up in the East End.
An entire terrace of houses was
involved No rent had been paid by
anybody for longer period than any
one then occupying the dwellings
could remember AS result a regu-
lar system of selling and buying the
right OF entry and possession had
sprung up, as much as els and 920
"key money being demanded and
paid as between tenant and tenant.
Force had to be used to evict the
"sluatters," who returned, moreover,
again and again; and It was only af-
ter several of them had been sent to
Jail that opposition to the rights OF
the real owners finally ceased.
Yet another example was afforded
by the notorious Leather lane evic-
lions, carried out by the London Coun-
ty Council when its Housing Commit
tee was engaged some time back in
clearing the slum areas in that dis
trict. It was found that no fewer than
forty-eight families had been living
there rent free for many years, and
not even the council was able to trace
the whereabouts of the original land
lord. Under these circumstances the
tenants declined to move, barricaded
themselves in their rentfree tene-
ments and threatened reprisals in the
event of force being used.
In the end, however, they submitted
quietly enough, nearly 200 men. wom-
en- and children being put into tho
streets by eleven bailiffs.-Tit-Bits.

FOR Peace MONUMENT
In 1915, Plans are Proposed By
Cincinnati Citizens.
Civil war SEMI.(EyTENNIAL
Each State Representing the New South
to Have Its Own Building in Which
to Exhibit Its Resources.

Cincinnati, Ohio.-A movement to
celebrate the semi-centennial of peace
between the north and south by hold
ing, in 1915, a great southern exposi-
ton at Cincinnati and dedicate a
southern peace monument in Cincin-
natl was launched at special meet
ing Of the chamber of commerce. The
proposition was given enthusiastic ap-
proval by The members. At the close
Of the meeting one Of the leaders in
the movement said: "A southern ex-
position and some sort of memorial
or monument indicating Cincinnati's
affection for the south Is assured"
A formal report was presented In
support of the idea giving various rea-
sons why such a celebration should
be held in Cincinnati. While sum-
ming up the probable character of the
celebration, the report said:
"As to character, scope and plans,
these are matters for future consid-
Grafton. 1t may take the form Of an
exhibit of waterways, devices and
methods 1t is suggested that there
be erected a monument commemora-
h'O VI pCdSc, thc iuOhSy W oc iaiSCu
by popular subscription. This monu-
ment is to occupy the center of a
small park or public square in Cincin-
natl. The unveiling of this monu-
ment would take place at the open
ing of the celebration during the
month of May, 1915, the fiftieth an.
niversary of the restoration of peace.
Unlike expositions of the past, each
state representing the new south
would have its own building in which
its resources, things of human inter-
est and particular forms of amuse-
ment and entertainment would be
found. No state would be restricted
as to the magnitude of its exhibit"

The Craze Over Bridge Whist.

In the March American Magazine Upton Sinclair writes of the life of the super rich Here is an interesting paragraph about bridge whist:
 Then the good lady went on to tell him what bridge had come to be; how people played 1t on trains all the way from New York to San Francisco; how they had tables in their autos, and played while they were touring over the world.
 'Once.' she said, ''I took party to see the Americas cup races off Sandy Hook; and when we got back to the pier some one called, Who won?' And the answer was. Mrs. Billy's ahead, but we're going on this evening" took party of friends through the Mediterranean and up the Nile, and we passed Venice and Cairo and the Pyramids and the Suez canal, and they never once looked up they were playing bridge And you think I'm joking, but mean just literally what I say. know a man who was travelling from New York to Philadelphia, and got into a game with some strangers, and rode all the way to Palm Beach to finish ftp
