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. 1 PARKER’S 3 HAIR BALSAM tMuiifk* tht H»T > Re«tor« Om onthful Colon ■ • % hxir UUii* HEARST AND SULLIVAN. 3 spectacle which two alleged Democratc in congress made of thorn- selves, and the dishonor which they reflected on the party to whlcfrjjiey. 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 Journal.
