New Facts About Sun.

AS one result of an exhaustive study
OF solar radiations by the director of
the Smithsonian astro- physical obser-
vatory. it has been found that at the
earths mean distance the. heat of the
suns rays is sufficient to melt in a
years time layer Of ice 426 feet in
thickness. This, it is announced, indi-
Gates that the aggregate heat thrown
or by the sun in twelve months
amounts to the same as would be OBJ
tanned by consuming 400 sextillion tons
of hard coal. Incidentally, and most
fortunately, only small portion Of
this tremendous volume of heat reaches
us, says Popular Mechanics, all but
about four ten billionths Of it being lost
in space. Another very interesting and
important discovery, which is acclaimed
the principal result of the investigation,
Is that the sun is variable star. The
heat emitted by it. instead Of being con-
slant in intensity, changes from day to
day and year to year. 1t is believed
probable that this has direct bearing
upon the climatic conditions of the
earth. In the hope Of gaining further
enlightenment on this score, South
American expedition is to be underta-
ken this year for the purpose Of maxi
ing additional and more complete OBJ
servations Of solar variation. The work
will be undertaken In the most favor
able cloudless region.

Are Now at Work, Says Official.

Washington. Nov. 1s.-The III
treatment OF the suffragist picket
prisoners In Occoquan workhouse
took new turn today. The Deco
guam officials themselves are COM
planning OF the Entertainment. They
are tired of being kicked on the shins,
scratched, punched and bitten.
Some of them have had so. much
of suffragist Entertainment that they
have refused to guard them any long
|er Some guards have quit forthwith
with the marks OF battle, and others
have been transferred to recuperate.
That isn't the only complaint OF Ill
treatment. Other guards have been
turned out OF coy bedrooms. they say.
to accommodate the picket prisoners.
Normally. well behaved prisoners
occupy quarters In long payattons.
When they won't behave, they are put
in punishment cells. Before the ar
rival of the pickets of ths National
woman's party. the guards. or those
of them that could he accommodated,
occupied these punishment cells in
preference 10 the regular quarters.
These are the cells that have caused
great protest by the pickets.
Thirty-one suffra gfsts started their
rebellion there last Wednesday, refus-
ling to do anything but rebel unless
they could get guarantee of special
privileges as political offenders. Hun
ger striking was only a. part of their
prison demonstration
Today all but eleven of them are at
work, according to a high authori-
" at Occoquan. who refused to be
quoted. The others. mostly the older
women, including Miss Lucy Burns,
with a six months sentence. continue
their rebellion to the point of wear
ing blankets instead of clothes, their
own having been removed. They
wort wear the prison garb.
The Occoquan guards struck be-
cause they were Obliged by the insti-
tuition rules to suffer violent resistance
and attacks from the suffragists with
out being allowed to defend them
selves In kind.
In answer to an expression of amaz-
