John Hknduic k Hangs in the July Ladles Home Journal. An l£n<> lifcltimm’M View or ike Fair. In the Review of Reviews for July appears an article by the Rev. F. Herbert Stead, of London,who gives his impressions of the World’s Fair. Mr. Stead made a flying visit to Chicago to witness the opening exercises, and his impressions are not only valuable because they let us see through the eyes of an intelligent Englishman on his first visit to America, but they constitute a most charming and picturesque view of the opening day scene worthy of preservation as one of the best pieces of the World’s Fanliterature. Mr. Herbert Stead is a brother of the former and English editor of the Review of Reviews, Mr. W. T. Stead, and for some time wis the editor of the Independent, a London religious paper of broad scope and high standing. In this article he says; "What I saw when I gained the northern and eastern balconies of the Administration Building surpassed and surprised my highest expectations.' After all that pen and pencil had done to prepare me for the sight, I felt that not one-half had been told me. The great white city which rose before me, silent and awful, seemed to belong to an order of' things above our common world. It was a poem entablatured in fairy palaces, only to be done into human speech by the voice of some master singer. It was a dream of beauty which blended the memory of classic greatness with the sense of Alpine snows. It was an Apocalypse of the architectural imagination. The wildness of the day lent its own Apocalyptic setting to the scene. A swaying, drifting curtain of cloud shut iu the horizon, blurring lake and sky on the one side in an indistinguishable haze, and on the other shrouding the city in a gloom of smoke and rain. Ever and again the towers of the Fair were draped with wreaths of trailing cloud, while the beating rain and chilling wind added to the elemental effect. The cluster of buildings hung together there a sort of city in the clouds,yet severe and unmistakable in outline. It was a vision of the ideal, enhaloed with mystery. The dream of Columbus, the aspirations of the Pilgrim Fathers, the boundless possibilities of the American continent itself, all seemed to have been crystallized in this mute world of hall and peristyle, .of column and capital. It Stood there one colossal temple of temples, awaiting iu silence the presence of the supernal glory. Facts About X’opultttlon. There are more than 1,000,000 Germans in the chief cities of the United States. They are most numerous in New York and Brooklyn and in the cities of the west. They are least numerous in Boston and Washington. In these two cities and in Philadelphia and San Francisco the Irish outnumber the Germans. In New York, Chicago, Brooklyn, St. Louis, Baltimore. Cincinnati. Cleveland. Buffalo, New Orleans, Pittsburg, Detroit and Milwaukee the Germans outnumber the Irish. There are 3.700 natives of Ireland to B5 , 000 Germans in Milwaukee. In Boston there are 10,000 Germans to 71.000 Irish.—New York Sun. SuBprcxtloim For Mary Anderson. Mrs. Mary Anderson-Navarro, sometimes known us "Our Mary,” is writing a book of reminiscences. If she goes Tack far enougu and sticks to facts, they will be highly interesting. She should tell how Dr. Hamilton Griffin went on ’change iu St. Louis and scattered tickets broadcast that the house might be filled. And she should publish the first opinions of the New York critics. Such things do not iu the least reflect on her ultimate triumph, but merely show her early pluck and confidence in her own ability.

| TJtllfl ECLIPSED SUN. OBSERVATIONS GATHERED FROM ECLIPSES OF THE SUN. Conclusions of Kminciit Astronomers Verified by Recent Photograph* of tlie Sun’s Corona an Seen During the Time That the Solar Body Was Hidden. When eclipsed, the majestic king of day condescendingly permits the structure of his mysterious appendages to be | photographed and analyzed spectroscopj ically. Never in the whole history of 1 astronomy has a finer opportunity foi such work be<‘l) afforded and so skillfully and completely improved by astronomers as that df the recent eclipse. The full harvest of their observations seems to promise some startling revelations. | , M. Flammarion, the French astronomer, after reading the Chilian cable dispatches announcing Professor Pickering’s recent eclipse observations, is reported to have said: “They confirm the theory that the sun is surrounded by a luminous atmosphere to a distance equal to one-eighth of the sun’s diameter.’ Scarcely a quarter of a century ago many astronomers questioned whether the solar atmosphere had any marked extension, and even doubted whether the.corona was a solar appendage at all. But in the light of the late eclipse it is not astonishing that an astronomer expresses the opinion that the sun’s atmosphere extends outward more than 100,00!) miles, The eruptive forces of the sun must bo enormous indeed to eject the matter composing the flaming prominences not infrequently observed 4051100 miles broad, with an nprush of -"Smiles a second and attaining occasionally an elevation of 400.000 miles. All prominences, Zollner and Respighi have shown, are originally phenomena of eruption, preceded by rectilinear jets, either vertical or oblique, ascending to great heights and then seen falling back again toward the sm. like the jets of our fountains. The eruptive prominences are, as Professor Young says, “generally associated with active sun spots.” Since during tjite late eclipse these prominences were conspicuous iu connection with an unusually brilliant and extended corona and great spottedness. the before seemingly established lew that the corona’s .size and luminosity are in direct proportion to the sun’s spot producing activity is strikingly corroborated. Professor Schaeberle cabled from Chili that his eclipse observations confirm his mechanical theory of the corona, which regards this vast appendage as composed of streams of matter ejected with initial velocities of 3.70 miles a second from the sun by forces which are most active near the sun spot zones. Indications of such eruptive action have been often observed in the higher regions of uu prominences. A further confirmation of this theory is that the corona in outline resembled that which Professor Schaeberle predicted some months ago. As far back as the eclipse of 1870 Mr. Brothers noted that “prominences were most numerous on the side of the sun where the corona was brightest." mi evidence that the coronal matter is not less thaiflthat of the prominences ejected from the sun. Mr. Proctor, discussing the observations of that eclipse, concluded: “I conceive wo have now clear evidence of aform of action —but whether eruptive, electrical or repulsive is not yet obvious —exerted outward to enormous distances by the sun and with maximum enery over the spot zones, hut local, variable and probably intermittent." It will be seen. then, that Professor Schaeberlc’s theory, though by no means established, accords with old observations. N o other explanation of the corona has been offered save that which attril)utes it to reflection from myriads of incandescent meteors or coamical dust circulating around the sun. But this hypothesis has never been supported. If the corona wore chiefly due to meteoric dust revolving around the sun. we should certainly expect to see it regular, and notas it generally appears, gapped, quadrilateral or four rayed, with immense wings or extensions. There seems, therefore, to be no other inference possible hut that which telescopic scrutiny has long suggested—that the corona is originated and maintained by countless ejections issuing from lieneath and flung through the photosphere by the sun’s vertical or volcanic forces. If the final study of the coronal photographs obtained sustain this view, science will have at least a working hypothesis for tin; determination of the cyclical variations of solar heat and the corresponding effects main terrestrial temperatures and climates. The theory iu question obviously ojieus up a new and fascinating inquiry into the anomalies of the earth’s seasons which are due to variations of solar activity. We seem to be thus happily led to the very tiireshold of one of the grandest discoveries of modern science, which promises when developed to yield a rich harvest of practical results. Now that most numerous and perfect photographs of all the principal appendages of the sun have been secured in Chili and Africa, astronomers should give their best energies to the study of the data. No problem they can now attack can be of greater interest or importance to science and the world. —New York Herald.

The Altruistic Uovlevr. The initial number of this magazine, a new candidate fofl popular favor has reached ns. It is edited by our friend and college associate, Hazlitt Alva Cuppv. His purpose is to gather up from current literature all that is helpful to a fellow man, —to give a biographical sketch of some character “who has devoted his life or his best energies to the good of his fellows.” In his introductory remarks he says: “lean imagine nothing sadder than the death in young womanhood or young manhood of the higher and noble impulses. If this Review has a mission—and it has —it is to appeal to whatever will make manhood more manly and womanhood more womanly, in their highest and broadest sense. A friend has aptly expressed the object and hope of my life in these lines: ‘The Altruistic Review is an attempt to organize the good impulses of the world.’’ Mr. Cuppy has undertaken a large work ana we wish him fullest success in his high endeavor. The price of the. Review is £2 per year. The publisher has made a liberal clubbing offer by which the Review and the Rni'UBU-1 can both will be furnished for $2. Subscriptions may be left at this office. / How t<* Keep Cool. The Inter Ocean contains the following novel method for keeping cool during excessively warm weather: “Cracked ice tied in abelt around the loins imparts a degree of coolness to the flesh that resists the utmost activity of the sun’s rays. The water from the melting ice runs down the legs and is arrested by the shoes that serve as receivers, with results as delightful as those exp >rienced by barefooted boys as they run splashing in the cool refreshing waters of a sylvan brook. For those who stay indoors the most successful cool treatment is a hundred pounds of ice, broken in a tub, and packed around the heat sufferer. In a few moments he forgets there ever was such a thing as heat. Ingenuity is great.” Of the many well-earned jokes at thy expense of foolish men who will not advertise, the following recent one from Peek's Sun is among the best: A man went into a store the other day and- sat down for an hour or so. When a clerk asked him if there was anything she could do for him,he said he didn’t want anything. She went away and he sat there half an hour longer when the proprietor went to him and asked him if he wanted to be shown anything. “No,” said the perrons man, “I just want to sit around. My physician has reccomended perfect quietness for me and says above all things I must avoid being in crowds. Noticing thatyoudid not advertise in the newspapers, Ithought that this would be as quiet a place as I could find, so I just dropped in for. a few hours of isolation.” The merchant picked up a block of paper cambric to brain him but the man went out, he said all he wanted was a quiet life.
