of summer. There will scarcely be
two and half months more of actual
winter weather. The sun attracts
but little attention in it's wander
ings, or apparent journeyings, in
these days OF the general diffusion o.
knowledge. 1t is all accepted as a
matter OF course, but time was when
1t received the worship of a consid-
cradle proportion of the ancient in
habitants of the American continent,
as Well as from the ancient nations
of the old world. The Aztecs, the
Maya of Yucatan and the inhabitants
of Peru took careful and reverential
notice of the suns movements from
day to day throughout the year, and
it is not difficult to imagine what
would have been the incredulity if
the people of that former time had
been told that in some future age the
sun would go and come in his jour
neyings without an Offering or a

| the $1,000 a year accorded Mrs.
Mills for the education and support
of the couples daughter, Cynthia,
for whose custody the commodore is
alleged at one time to have offered
81 100000, is being properly used.
He may ask the Wayne circuit court
to inquire into the matter. Mrs.

Cynthia.
Mrs. Mills is the daughter or
Charles K. Eddy, the millionaire
Saginaw lumberman. After getting
a divorce from Mr.. Mills she married
John T. McCurdy. Last November
she moved to Selden, Va, little
hamlet of only twenty-three people,
