a sun spot faced the earth squarely.
AS for the influence of this varia-
tior upon weather, DR.. Abbot showed
that it had been determined closely
enough so far to justify the Argentine
government in making weekly fore
casts from solar radiation data fur
nished by the Smithsonian Observa-
tory in Calama, Chill. These forecasts
are not given away, but sold to Ar
gentine business men and farmers,
who find them Of sufficient value to
continue buying them after seven
years trial.
The influence Of solar variation
upon weather, DR.. Abbot said. is by
no means simple. Increased radiation.
in fact, portends lower temperatures
for our eastern American cities. This
is due to the action Of the winds
which circle about areas OF high and
low pressure. Solar variation causes
the pressure centers to move. and with
them the winds. 1t is because of these
complexities that change as slight as
one-half of ] per cent in solar radia-
ton can produce great changes in tenn
perature on some parts Of the earth.
From this fact, DIR. Abbot deduced the
necessity of greater accuracy in meas
urements of the solar constant. 1t Is
TO achieve this result, he said, that the
National Geographic Society has do
mated $o5,O 900 to enable Smithsonian
astrophysictsts to establish q new sta

(SpeciaD The market for live

have been In demand, and shipment
of poor. thin stock or many old hens

have a tendency to lower values on

S5 each for the latter. While the
season for dressed poultry opened
this week the weather has been too
warm for a favorable market and
unless 1t turns cold shipment of live
instead of dressed poultry is advis-
able. AS so far dressed poultry sells
at only a few cents over live.
Season for rabbits opened Tues
day, but receipts so far have been
very light, and with good demand
market holds firm at 6.00a.7.00 a
dozen for choice nearby stock, and
3.60a4.20 for fair to good. Receipts
of native and nearby strictly fresh

good constant demand for this sort
the limited offerings are cleaned ul'
daily at a premium over quotations
for choice stock The market closed
firm today at 50 a dozen for first in
free cases and so for candled eggs.
The demand for white potatoes has
eased off to considerable extent
and is now strictly consumptive, and
not speculative, as was the case q
week or so ago. While receipts have

as heated. Fairly good demand pre-

SWIFTEST SEA FLYER.
Frigate Bird Used as Letter Carrier
in Equatorial Isles.

From the san Francisco Chronicle.
The Swiftest of all sea birds is the
frigate bird. In certain of the euua-
torial isles of the Pacific this bird Is
employed as a letter carrier. Taken
from the nest before it can fly, it is
fed pn a fish diet by the natives. In
the course of a few months il becomes
so tame that it can be set free dur
ing the day and will return to its
perch at sunset.
On Nanomaga. where an American
lived for IL months. he had two
'frigates," which were given him by
a trader on Nuitao, 90 miles to wind
ward, and in return the America n
gave two very tame birds, hatched
and reared on Nanomaga.
The four were continually flying
across from one island to another:
sometimes the Nuitano pair would
visit their birthplace and visit the
Americans pair on their perch out
side his house, remaining one or two
days, fishing on their own account
together and being fed at dawn and
nightfall by the natives and the
American. Then all four would sail
off to Nuitano, the Americans pair
usually returning within 80 hours.

of the carrier stocks, bonds OF these
