SUN EXPLODING
BECAUSE OF HEAT
Tremendous Electrical Energy Which
Affects the Currents of the
Earth.

ST LOUIS, March 31--Terrific
eruptions Or explosions that tear great
craters in the surface of the sun,
sending the luminous fragments off
into space more than 100000 miles,
are the cause of the present unusual
activity of the northern lights, and
the magnificent display of aurora
borealis beheld in Chicago for the
first time in three years last Tues
day night. according to Father laartin
S. Brennan, professor of astronomy
at Kenrick Seminary, who has been
making a special study of recent solar
phenomena.
The immense holes, 10000 miles in
diameter, torn in the surface of the
sun by these explosions, are what ap-
pear from the earth as sun spots
which have regular periods of eleven
years "The maximum period of sun
spots was reached in 1908 and will
come again in 1919 said Father
Brennan. "The eruptions that pro-
duce these sun spots exert tremen
dous electrical energy that disturbs
and affects the electrical currents oil
the earth, and indirectly the weather
conditions. Aurora borealis and ac
tivity of the northern lights always
occur, during the prevalence of sun
spots.
THE upheavals which produce the
sun spots are caused by cyclones that
whirl across the surface of the sur
with such terrific force they produce
explosions on its surface"

The Report Of His Death.

=
Ads ABEBA, Abyssinia, March
31-Menelik II, king of Abyssinia, is
dead at the age Of &c years. and in the
twenty-frst year of his reign.
Prince Lidi Jeassu, grandson of the
late monarch, is heir to the throne.
The king was stricken with apoplexy
last fall and never recovered his
health. For many weeks his death has
been expected.
When he was able no longer to car
ry on the affairs of state, Ras Tes-
anne. tho regent, with the approval of
the principal chiefs, took over the
reigns of government. At the same
time Empress 'Taitou was deprived OF
all power of interference in the gov
ernment, and her appointments made
among her favorites were annulled.
Prince Lidj Jeassu was proclaimed
heir to the throne on May Is last. He
is IA years of age, and little less than
/ year ago was married to the grand
daughter, aged / years, of the late
Emperor John and niece OF Empress
Taitou.
The ancient empire of Abyssinia, OF
Ethiopia, includes the kingdoms OF
Tigre. Amhara, Shoa, with other ter.
ritories and dependencies Its area is
| 100000 square miles, and the popula
ton is estimated at between 100000
and IL, 100000.
Menelik was elected king by the
Abyssinian chieftains over Ras Mang
asha
He claimed to be a direct descend
ent of Solomon by the queen of Sheba
and styled himself "Conquering Lior
of the Tribe of Juda, elect of the
Savior, king of kings of Ethiopia
Menelik refused to acknowledge the
domination of Italy over his country
and compelled the italian army tc
1 capitulate at Adowa in 1896, when {
treaty was signed recognizing the alb
solute independence of Abyssinia.
Since then peace has crowned Meme
lik's policy toward foreign powers
and the country has prospered witt
