" These sun spots are supposed to be great solar volcanoes or other disturbances of the sun's sur face iu some visible way. The spots can be seen easily by observers during the yeuis up to l'JU'i, when the maximum will have beeu reached. These supposed caviiicHs mctitnes go lo a width of about -ll.lllll) miles and then hrako up lutu separate spots or cavities, sometimes sep--uniting at the rate of UlU miles an hour he energy sent out by the sami source that causes these sun spuls must ae euoimous. There arc some ruisun.- Inr believing that bilore the spots themselves make their uppeuruuee to the sight the cuergy is at work und is radia ted fr nn the sun tu the pluneis of this system. At all events the sun spot peri ods ure usu illy notable on the earth fur peculiar manifestations of electrical cuer gy. The electric slurms that have been seen in New England lately ure due, in some degree, to the solar energy und the leciricity seut to ineeurtii us a r.uu . Such, ul least, is a widely received scien- lilic theory It may he tliul tlie suu spots or the eo, roy of which they are merely the re- suit work in some fashion that cunuot lie so eusiiy iruccu. During the past three years, when the suus en- erties have been at work, strange thiDgs huve happeued in the world. Is it mere- ly u coincidence? If so, it is at least worth nonce that coincidences uf this kind are not rare if one takes the trouble to look up the slory of the civilized woild in the few years preceding each period of outbreak ofsuu snots, say iu the 1 fifty years. To trace back ihe periods ri ckoi ini: eleven yeurs us the cycle, the beuiurin: of ihe sun spot ouihreaks wou'd he reck oneii lu li:i, Ihis, itibi and lM.it. m sueli HCuuut. These dates are Iod ix iet because the period of duration is nut ex ucliy iiieasiiuble in units uf ycuis Slil it is surely worth some notice that hi fori the period of 1 STiti there eame the de perate oulbraak of the war in the ('time that before ihe piriodol 18h7 the United S:utcs wus ravaged by the civil war to un exient never recorded in the history ol any ultier country, and that the great tragedy of Lincoln's death hud been recorded; thai pieceding the sun spot period of 1878 there came the harrowing expeiiehces i l t rance, culminating 111 the c. iMMiiiist riots, und the liusiiun Tuikisli w..i; thai before ISS'J came the Kouinelian revolution, the Nihilist out break in Hu.-sia, and ihe war Willi the Afghans, and that befure 19110 came the wur with Spain, the Jameson raid- and the eiuisi ipient war bel ween the Roei and P.iiiish. It is ai.o interesting to note how financial movements of importance compunied the manifestutiou of sun spots in the past half century. Each netioi! has been acccuipuiiitd by great-bush booms and the climax and disappearance of the sun spots iu close proximity to u financial pauic, txeipt in 18(11, when the immense preparations fur war in ihe ('oiled Stales rather caused better busi ness. Siuce that date, however, the yeurs 18.11, 1881 and 1805 were yaars of widespread liuaneiul and industrial de pressiuo. This ooiueideoee is also strik ing enough to be ntted. Of course, such coincidences do not prove that the ener- gy or the reaction iu the sun cuuo such results on the earth; but it is ut least re murkublf that the sun's energy and the human energy on the eurth should have run in cycles so closely alike llotton Puily Advertiser A Very Rare Thioi;.

As the train wus stunding iu the stutiuu at Detroit, waiting fur the signal to start, the engineer, a grizzled old veteran, came along the train until he reached (he spe cial cur. "Whose enr is this? " he asked one of the party who wus stunding outside. "It's a special, taking Mr. Moody to ids home," was the reply. Where has he been?" came the ques tion. He has been holding meetingi in Kansas City, where he was taken ill, and now we ure taking him home. We are about an hour late, and if we don't make up the time we won't make the proper connection for liostoo." "Look here," said the engineer, Lis yuKa choking as he spoke, "fifteen years aL,o I WHs led to Christ bv Muodv. and I huve lived a belter and happier life ever siDce.

( lur bodies consist large ly of water, and the uverugo muo needs to drink from four lu six pints of water daily iu order to muiotuia health. This is the amount of wuter eliminated from the body by means of the kidneys, Ihe skin und lungs. It is evident thai a flesh supply is cousluully needed to sup ply this lust uid in the process of diges tion und curry awuy waste matter, If the amount of water imbibed ia not sufficient for all this, the health must sutler. Air, water and food are the essentials of life iu the order given.
