TAHE wonders of our sun

"\HE wonders Of our sun are
 many and, most remarkable
 and are but little known" writes w. w. Campbell, director of the Lick Conservatory, in Science. "The quantity of the heat which the sun Is radiating into surrounding space, to the earth, to Mars and to all other ob- jects which intercept it's rays, is stu pendous and not to be comprehended by the astronomer or man of affairs. It is, and has been, the source of all the energy upon which we draw, save only negligible residual.
 Tt is the suns heat which grows the farmers crops, the trees of the forest and all vegetation. The coal de posits upon which we draw today for the running of trains, ships, factories and rolling mills are but the solar en- ergy of an earlier age, comprised transformed and preserved for our comfort and power. In the mountain ous regions of our land, where water can be stored in high level reservoirs and, passing through water wheels at lower levels, be made to generate cleo tric power for lighting, for heating and for the running of motors, it is the suns energy which is transformed to meet the needs of men. The suns rays evaporate the surface waters of the ocean, lakes, streams and lands the winds, generated by the unequal solar heating of our atmosphere, transport some of the water vapor to the high mountains, where it is depos- tied as rain or snow. It is merely the descent of these waters to the lower levels that is controlled by man and transformed into electric power for his own purpose.
 As to Horsepower.
 "It would take more than two bill lion earths placed side by side to form a continuous spherical shell around our sun at distance equal to the earth's distance. and thus to receive the total output of solar heat. Therefore, less than one two-billionth part of that out put falls upon the earth. The earth's share of solar energy, expressed in horsepower or other fa1niliax units. is

sible to freeze water in warm room ether over it, what do you think of the fact that men can live and even labor in furnace rooms where the tenn perature of the air is many degrees higher than that of the human body? Yet if the temperature of their bodies grees they would become seriously i'll. Men seldom survive a body. tempera- ture of 1O7 degrees, yet they can work all day in an atmosphere much warm CT than this.
 What causes the body to remain steadily at a temperature of 9S.6 de- grees under such conditions? The an- swer is, of course, sweat. Sweat keeps the body cool by evaporating from the surface of the body, just as the ether cools the water by eYaporating from over it.
 Whenever liquid evaporates it uses up heat Scientists have measured the so-ca1led heat of evaporation of liquids It requires little more than five and one-third as much heat to evaporate a gallon of water as is re- quired to heat gallon of water from the freezing point to the boiling point. Whether evaporation be rapid, as when water is boiling, or slow, as from vessel of cold water, the total amount of heat used to evaporate a definite quantity is always the same. When sweat evaporates from the sur face of the body, the body must sup ply most of the heat needed to carry on the evaporation This leaves the body cooler. When we fan ourselves we cause more rapid evaporation of sweat. evaporates in his lungs and he Is cooled of the body.
 Dogs do not sweat externally, but when dog pants he forces the air through his lungs rapidly; more water evaporates in his lungs and he is cooled.
 The ether in the watch glass evap- orates very rapidly. It takes heat from the glass and the water under the glass so much more rapidly than tho water can take heat from the air and the table top that the water becomes cold enough to freeze.

 In the meantime both parties have been busy with propaganda work which reminds the American tourist of the most lively prediction activities in the United States. Both countries have been spending enormous sums of mon ey for such purposes. On the German side large sums are being raised by popular subscription.

MYSTERY OF TIDES IN LAKE.

Why does the water in the great lakes that lie betwe cen a large portion of the United States and Canada rise and fall in per1ods-which average sev- en years? This natural phenomenon has been puzzle since the days when France held sway in Canada. 200 years ago.
 's In an unpublished diary of an Eng fish traveller who voyaged up the St. Lawrence river to Niagara, Ont, in the Summer of 17S5, is the following ref erence, as noted by the Christian Science Monitor, to this mystery of the waters:
 A remarkable circumstance was told me by MT. Pansee, our conductor.5who had been constantly engaged in this navigation for nearly 20 years, and which he advised me is matter of fact both from his own observation and that of the oldest inhabitant. Each year the St. Lawrence river settles or falls little until the seventh year, when it is visible that it has sunk be- tween three ana TOUT rect, ana then TOT the next seven years it continues to rise in the same proportion. The river is at this time at it's greatest eleva- tion (July l, 17S5). I took great pains to gain some information of this un- common phenomenon. I find that the lakes have the same appearance.
 Careful government records were begun about the year 1920 and since then it has been found that the periods between high and low water are some times as low as four years and some times as high as nine years, although they average seven years. This year the water is again st its lowest In Ins lakes and river, and freight carriers ara having trouble in various harbof4-

very lively towns in which there can be found all conveniences of any Eu- ropean city of much larger size. Espe- cially the cities of Beuthen and Katto- witz have fine theaters, elegant cafes and modern hotels which offer to the traveller all comforts of temporary homes.
 Experts confidently believe the mfn- ing district of Upper Si1esia possesses coal for at least 1,600 years, if thes present production of 50,000,000 tons 3 year continues. Iron mining is much less productive, so that the Upper Si- lesian steel industry largely depends upon crude iron imported from Swe- den and Russian Poland. There are also zinc, lead and silver, in small quantities, however. At the present time the 62 coal mines of Upper .Sile- sfa employ 130,000 laborers, while about 15 ,000 men are working in the other mines. There are hundreds of kflns and sme1ters in the district in which large numbers of workin gmen earn their living.
 Much more may be said about Upper Silesia, her inhabitants and industries. The country is a very rich prize, and the tourist from America fully under stands why Germany wants to keep Upper Silesia, which was under her wings for more than 700 years, and why Poland desires to possess the country with all it's wealth and subter- ranean treasures.

These rings appear edgeways to the earth, or as a simple straight line Gas shown on the right of the first dia- gram) every 15 years. At rarer inter vals the earth itself crosses the ring plane three times in a few months, and these successive passings then become of exceptional interest. The first cross ing of one such series was on recent ly, the other two occurring in April and August This phenomenon is wis ib1e even to quite small telescopes, The series of crossings of the ring plane by the earth within few months is of exceptional interest, as this will be the first time such a happening has occurred for nearly 60 years.
 The planet Saturn itself, compared with the earth, is immense; it has a diameter of 71,s0o miles, or nine times that of our own planet. The distance across Saturn-rings and planet-is roughly about 17O,00o miles. Its dis tance from the sun is SS6 millions of miles and her year of revolution about 29 of our own years.
 .-, Both rings and planet are illumined by the sun, the rings throwing huge shadows on the planet. Some portions of the latter lie in the shadow of the rings for five years on end. When the shaded sides of the rings are turned towards the earth they are almost in visible to us. A gap of 6,730 miles sep arates Saturn from the nearest ring and another of 1,SO0 miles separates the nearest ring from the next.
 There are 10 satellites revolving in or near the same plane as the rings, which is the reason, in any view of Saturn from one of it's moons, that the rings must cut the horizon at very steep angle, and show more or less edgeways on, as shown in another pie lure here.

~N the banks of the small river
 Przemsa was situated, before
 the conclusion of the treaty of Versailles, the so-called Three Emperors-Corner," where the border lines Of Germany, Austria and Russia met. The picture printed here was taken from the Russian-Polish side of the Przemsa and shows the Bismarck Tower on the German side.
 The treaty of Versailles has changed the political meaning of the once fla nous corner. At-the present time only two empires meet there, Germany and reborn Poland, and if the general cleo ton for Upper Silesia gives that coun- try 70 Poland, that corner will belong to the past.
