0n the Sun.
The Sun-spots, already spoken of in
these columns, says the Hartford Times
form a group that is over 100,000 miles
in length and 40,000 miles wide. (The
Earth is about 8,030 miles in diameter,
or about 25,000 in circumference.) The
Times has called attention to the fact
that all this protracted dark weather
in the north half of our world mpy be
in somelmeasure due to'these vast dis-
turbances on the Sun. These so-called
“spots,” bigger than our globe, are
really rents in the photosphere——due,
probably, to magneticdisturbances in
the Sun, and look to be black only be-
cause of the. ineflfable brilliancy of the
stlar envelope called the photosphere.
These vast rents through that envelope
of unspeakably intense light' are un-
doubtedly very brilliant and glowing
objects. rendered black by their violent
contrast with the unimaginable intens-
ity of the light through which they
break. The “spots”
are great rents,
. or holes, in the photosphere, revealing
the dazzling but seemingly black in'
terior below or inside of that unutter-
ably br1ght envelope.
If it were not for these heavy masses
of cloud, which so persistently cover all
this part of the Earth,these “spots on
the Sun” could now be seen by anybody
who will hold a piece of. smoked glass

When a clear day does
come, the astronomers get the benefit
of it; they can see the “rosy flames.”
Garrett P. Serviss, a New York astron-
omer, says:
“in a few days there will be a mag—
nificent sight. The spots are moving
with the Sun, andehen, by the Sun’s
rotary motion they reach the edge,
which they will do in a fewdays, those-
rosy flames, thousand of miles in height
will shoot out over the edge of the Sun’s
disk in magnificent streaks of color
that the? spectroscope will show to
beautiful effect.” "
After Cotton What ?
There 15 no concealing the fact that
many of the cotton mills of New Eng-
land Inust soon be converted to other
uses, says the Norwich Bulletin. In a
recent- issue The Boston Commercial
' _. Bulletin blamed the manufacturers of
Fall River for the distressing situation
in which they now find themselves,
saying that the present condition of
things was foreshadowed, and that they
should. have brought their mills up to
a" higher standard and left- the manu-
facture of the coarser grades of cotton
to the southern mills. . .
Already there is talk of linen manu-
facture in New England, and although
all previous attempts to manufacture
linen in this country have proven 11n-
'profitable. it is believed that, with pro-
tection, the linen industry can be fost
tercu as well as the manufacture of?
plate glass or tin plate, and that suc-
cess is ce1tain.
-The Boston T1 anscript thinks Massa-
chusetts may become a center of silk _
manufacture. This, The Transcript
‘ says, is the latest phase of the queétion
as to what shall be produced .by those
mills which, by reason of the equip-
ment on. from other causes, find them-
selves un'd’ble to successfully compete
with the southern manufacturers in the
making of cotton cloth. Experiments
are now being' made in‘ a quiet way by
the olficials of at least four of the best

great fear of foreign competition, and
this feature of the-business has had a

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle 01 common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-fom
hours: a sediment 01 settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys
When u1ine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desii e
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladde1 a1 e out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort' 1n the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’ s
Swamp-Root, the g1 eat kidney 1emedy
fulfills every wish 1n 1elieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladdei and
eve1 y pait of the m ina1 y passages. It
corrects inability to hold mine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liqu01, wine or
hem. and we comes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times du1 1110‘ the night to win-
ate. The mild and the extraOI dinaiy
effect of Swamp-Root is soon iealized.
It stands the highest for its wonde1 ful
