The Mystery of the Spots on the Sun

Off light and heat coming from the
parts of the solar disk that they cover,
so that we on the earth get slightly
less radiation from the sun when sun
spots are numerous than when they
are few or altogether absent
One OF the most pulling facts about
the sun spots is that they are subject

number and size The time from one

next is variable. but it averages be

some think. II may arise from disturb
ances coming from without at more
or less regular intervals. like the re-
visits Of a great meteor swarm.
The changes are OF importance TO US
because many phenomena on the earth,
such as magnetic storms, are closely
associated with these solar disturb
ances- Sometimes a great Outburst on
the sun seems TO produce an electro
magnetic shock that sets our polar
skies aflame with darting lights. while

Columbia Stock Company
at Auditorium Next Week

Again we shall have the pleasure
of having one of the best stock com
panies that has ever played Cam
bridge with us, commencing next
Monday, one whole week. Some OF
the same people that were so well
liked here last season are still with
the company, and also a few new
faces, that, together with some new
scenery and dandy lot OF new
plays, makes this clever company eV-
en- stronger than ever.
For their opening play they are
using high-class comedy-drama,e en-
titled 1.-THE Woman of Mystery. :"
This is a beautiful play, a perfect
blending of pathos and comedy, with
a very strong heart interest story; in
fact, a play out of the ordinary, and
a play that company of the caliber
of the Columbia Stock Company can
handle. Miss Stella May will be
seen in the title role, 'The Woman of
Mystery" Mr.. Karlce will be seen
in the comedy part of the old man,
part especially fitted to his peculiar
talents. The male lead will be
played by Mr.. VIM. Cunningham; the
villain will be in the hands of Mr..
Carl Blythe. Mr.. Jack Warren Cor
bin will play the part of Mons Lo-
pom. Miss Anna Davis, who will no
doubt be remembered by our Cam
bridge friends from her good work of
last year, will be seen in the juve-
nile lead. It's a play that you will
like, if you like deep. strong, well
written play.

TO FADE AWAY.
An Expression That 10 Not Slang In
Parts of England.

Parts of England.
Did you ever urge upon some inter-
loper the ACCESSIBILITY Of fading away
when you did not wish to employ the
brutal frankness that would have Or
dered him to get out? And do you
think the expression originated with
"The Chorus Lady" Whether or not
you saw that once popular play, you
could not have escaped the expression,
blazoned on thousands Of billboards:
Fade away! Fade away, quick" She
did not mean that she wanted the
mans ruddy cheeks to grow pale nor
that he should undergo any other
change implied in the meaning Of the
word fade" She wanted him to van
ish, to betake himself to some other
place without argument or ceremony.
To use the expression she used Is merely
American slang, only little more COM
prehensive and rational than "skiddoo"
or "vamoose," which had hitherto been
employed to convey the same meaning.
Around Cornwall, in England, they
would take the word fade" in the sense
Of depart" as not at all out of the ordi-
nary. To fade" means to grow pale
or weak. but In Cornwall it also means
Ito CO." Just how it happens to have
that meaning the philologists do not
agree. 1t is spelled both fade and
wade" and the plausible suggestion
has been offered that the word comes
from the Latin, the expression wade
mecum," meaning "go with me-" having
been in common use in the days when
a prayer book or talisman that was
supposed to 60 along with the individ-
ual to bring good luck was thus in
scribed. The fade dance, In which the
dancers go from house to house, has
been popular in that corner Of England
for six centuries.-St. Louis Globe

MORE ROOM NECESSARY
AT CENTRAL BUILDING

The crowding of. students in the
grades at the Central building COM
PEELED the board of education to hire
another teacher for the sixth and sew
enth grades. They secured Miss
Alice Gallagher Of Adrian. She began
work Tuesday morning.
To make room for the pupils and
relieve, as much as possible, the con-
gested condition of the grades, it was
necessary TO reconstruct the base
ment of the Central building. The
girls toilet rooms were transferred
to small room heretofore used as a
storage room for desks and supplies
and the old toilet room was chang
ed before the opening of school in the
fall to rive room for, the manual
training department. Up to date it
has been necessary for the board to
spend several hundred dollars to re-
lieve the congestion and still the
rooms are overcrowded.

HUNTED JACKSNIPE
WITH DOG IN A POKE

A. J. Medlar of Syracuse, N. Y,
and Florida is the guest of William
Bright, John Cusser and Chris Lie
bum and is spending a few weeks
here and in Orleans. He and Mr.. Lie
bum are putting in considerable time
hunting ducks, Jack snipe and part
ridge. They are both good marks
men and very seldom bird on the
wing escapes.
Chris has dog of the setter breed
which leads him a merry chase, in
fact, he works so fast as to tire him
out. When Chris was in Denmark
some one told him to put a poke on
setter dogs when on the hunt, which
would cause them to slow down. He
rugged up one for this occasion and
the, result was the dog dug in faster
than ever and soon put Chris out of
commission, causing him. to puff and
blow like porpoise.
Mr.. Medlar, who has spent four
teen winters in Florida and hunted
all kinds Of game from jack rabbits
to alligators, says this was the first
time he ever saw or heard of a hunt
ing dog with a poke on. They bag
ged three ducks, seven jack snipe and
six partridges before both the dog
and Chris gave out
