No persen Has Seen the Sun.

Astronomers aver that no one has
ever seen the sun. A series of concen-
trio shells envelops nucleus Of which
we apparently know nothing except
that it must be almost infinitely hotter
than the fiercest furnace, and that 1t
must amount to more than nine-tenths
of the solar mass. That nucleus Is the
real sun, forever hidden from us. The
outermost of the enveloping shell Is
about 5000 miles thick. and is called
the "chromosphere."

the three planes started from New York

One night We played for The "AIiclIae-

Their rooms are very beautiful and lux
uriuuS for this country. These people
don't know what umalie Of our music.
They don't know what jazz music is
and they 60 crazy over the trap drum
mer. We jazz em up To beat the band
and we've got them going. At first
they don't like il, and then when they
hear more and begin tn catch the swing
they begin to like it. Some of the men
just stand and stare, and every time
the drummer hits the crash cymbal or
blows whistle or ratchet they grin
from ear to ear Portuguese music is
mostly soft and sweet and they don't
understand our jazz orchestra at all.
We have had no mail since coming
here. but understand it is coming so
we'll probably get one mail before we
leave, though wouldn't have them
wait one day for it because ] want to

Surely We will learn something Of
our discharges when We get back this
time. a. Mendel Drake,
