Phenomenon Can Be Easily Seen
Through 8moked Glass.
The large spot on the surface of the
sun. easily seen with a smoked glass,
is attracting attention among those
in Valdosta who are inclined to the
study of the heavens. A number have
remarked on the size of this spot, con
fessing that it is one of the largest,
if not the largest ever seen.
The following, from the pen of Pro
fessor Otis Ashmore, of Savannah, an
astronomer of some note, will be
read with interest:
The disturbed portion of the sun’s
surface embraces an area of an irreg
ular oblong shape, about 90,000 miles
long and 64,000 miles wide, with a
central nucleus of about 18,000 miles
in diameter. When we remember that
the earth is only 8,000 miles in diam
eter, the magnitude of the suu spot
and its dark nucleus is better real
ized. The spot will be visible for sev
eral days yet, and it will be closely
observed throughout tho scientific
world.
While astronomers have learned
much about these sun spots there is
much about them that is still un
known. It is known that they are vast
cavities in the sun’s molten surface,
and that they are accompanied by the
display of gigantic electrical and mag
netic forces whose effects are often
plainly felt upon the earth in what
are known as magnetic storms, which
sonjetlmes interfere seriously with
telegraphic operations for hours. Tho
magnetic needle vibrates in unison
with the play of these forces, and the
Aurora borealis is much intensified by
its presence.
While the sun spots appear dark
they are indeed as bright as a calcium
light, but they only appear dark by
comparison with the moro luminous
background of the sun’s dazzling sur
face. It has been shown, too, that
they are cooler than the adjacent por
tions of the sun’s rays. One might
naturally conclude, therefore, that
when the sun has upon it a large num
ber of spots, the cooling effect would
be felt on tho earth by lowering the
toraperature. While this is true in
theory there are compensating causes
at work, and observation shows that
no perceptible meteorological change
occurs.

HEARST AND SULLIVAN.

selves, and the dishonor which they

claim allegiance, ~\vas a disgrace to
the country. We refer to the Sulli-
van-Hearst mud-clinging match in the
house on Monday.
We do not know much of Mr. Sul
livan, except such part of him as is
revealed in this affair; but there Is
no doubt of the fact that the attack
made on him by Hearst in his news
paper was sufficient to arouse all the
bad blood In a man, and there Is a
good deal of bad blood in this man if
Hearst sizes him up correctly. In a
general way we know that Sullivan
Democratic congressman from
the cultured city .of Boston. Hearst
intimated that he was a party to a
murder on one occasion.
Of Mr. Hearst the country knows
more. He inherited millions, bought
and ccnducta with those millions a
string of newspapers. He is also a
Democratic congressman from
great city of New York. He Is not the
father, but he is the finisher, and is
at the head of the school of yellow
journalism in this country,. Although
one of the rich men of the country,
ho is socialistic in tendencies, and is
the real leader of the radical wing of
that party, being more radical than
Bryan. His more recent policy is to
browbeat in his newspapers Demo
cratic congressmen who do not fol
low his leadership. He has been
scoring John Sharp Williams during
this sessiou of congress because his
(Hearst’s) railroad bill was
adopted by the Democratic minority
and made the party measure. His
attack was made on Sullivan because
Sullivan criticised his bill.
The Republicans evidently enjoyed
the mud match, because tho speaker
gave both men all the rope they want-
At one time the chair was dis
posed to restrain Mr. Hearst when
the latter accused Sullivan of being
murderer, but when Mr. Griggs, of
Georgia, rose and cried out for "fair
play,” a loose rein was again given.
It was the most disgraceful affair
ever wltnessesd, perhaps, on the floor
the house. The fact that both ac
tors answer the roll call of the same
political party makes It the more re
markable, and also emphasizes in a
most disheartening way the straight
ened position of the Democratic par
ty before the country at this time.
We do not know how many friends
Sullivan has, or what influence he may
able to wield over the Eastern Dem
ocrats, but we do know that John
Sharpe Williams has friends and influ
ence in the South. Hearst’s war on
the minority leader will probably alie
nate from the New cork congressman
and editor the few friends ho had in
the South. At least it will check any
growth of his popularity in this sec
tion.—Macon Telegraph.
TOO MUCH UGLY FURNITURE.
Parson Wagner Makes a Telling Point'
Against One American Evil,
Parson Wagner, who has come to
tell us that we ought to live simpler
lives, is fighting a losing battle, be*
cause he Is combatting human *appe
tites, which grow by what they feed
on, and become stronger in proper*
tion as civilization finds new means
to pamper them. It may be desirable,
but useless, to tell us that we would
be better off if we preferred mutton
and turing to French sauces and foie
grass with truffles, and if we drink
spring water, instead of Chateau
Yquem and champagne.
But there is one piece of advice he
gives us that there is a chance we
may heed, because the practice
against which he protests gratifies no
human desire and is obviously waste
ful and absurd. This is his advice,
not to throw money away on superflu
ities of furniture. One does not rea-
alize what an excess of furniture the
average American home contains un
til he looks around with the Idea tar
his mind. Much of it is absolutely
useless always ugly and often in
shocking bad taste. Especially
this true of the furniture found in
the homes of people of moderate
means, bought cheap and precisely
the same in all of a hundred thous
and houses.
Tho result is that the average in
terior Is not only an eyesore to per
sons of cultivated taste but Is so
crowded and littered up with ven
eered monstrosities that it is exasper-
atingly difficult to navigate. If a third
of it had never been acquired the
household would be healthier, happier
and much more comfortable. Sensi
ble people who desire to get all they
can out of life will carry as little Im
pediment as possible on the Journey.
As one of the richest women In Chi
cago was heard *“ to say when she
closed her great mansion and dis
charged most of her servants
move into a comparatively modest
flat:
“If I could have my way I would
own nothing but a bank account and
a traveling bag; and tho smaller the
bag and the bigger the'bank account
the better I should like it.”—Chicago
