, every day, and six and a half years to
decline again to a minimum, when for
J months In succession the sun's face ts as
, clean as a polished mirror. Vpon the
whole, the heat on the earth, taking Its
entire surface Into account, and baa ng
the observation on the temperature of
the atmosphere, la about one degree and
a quarter of the Fahrenheit scale lower tit
sunspot maximum than at sunapot
minimum.
This cannot be wholly duo to the dark
ening of the sun caused by the presence
of the spots, since, as Mr. C. U. Abbott
of the Smtthaonlnn lnMtutr his fhiwn
the amount by which the temperature is
lowered Is five times too great to be ac
counted for in that way.
But there are other ways in which an
Invasion of a horde of spots on the sun
makes Its effects felt upon our globe.
The most conspicuous of tl esc Is In con
nection with the earth's magnetism.
The earth Is a great magnet, and the!
sun appears to exercise a direct in
fluence upon Its magnetic state, that
Influence varying with the condition of
the sun as to spottedn'us. When s'inspots
are at a maximum, magnetic storms of
great violence occur, during which the
electro-magnetlo excitement of the earth
la vividly manifested In the ."tmoaphoro
oy imposing displays of the aurora.
borealls, ahd In the earth Itself by
vagabond currents which Interrupt tele
graph and cable communication, and
sometimes . leap Into .. .visibility and
audibility In the form of crackling sparks
and electric flames playing about the
Instruments.
Occasionally It has been possible to
trace Phenomena of ' this kind to the
Influence of individual sun spots of unu
sual magnitude and activity. It is like
the transmission of a shock from the
sun to the earth, across a gap of 93,-
000.000 miles, supposed to be filled with
nothing but the invisible and intangible
ether.
Exactly how the forces that produce
spots upon the sun affect the earth's
weather la an unsettled question. Tt)ere
is - a considerable ' amount of evidence
for saying that such storms as our west
ern tomapoes, the hurricanes of the West
Indies and the typhoons of the China
seas, are, far more numerous during sun
spot maxima, and especially during the
time that spot are Increasing In num
bers. .It has also been thought that wet
and dry seasons are connected In some
way with the sun spot cycle, but on this
subject the evidence is contradictory.
Some statistics ahow that dry seasons
accompany son spots, -and others that
wet seasons accompany them.
But all of these things are really ot
little account In comparison with the
great question of the effects produced
upon the sun Itself. The earth ts a speck
In the infinite vault of space, we are
animated atoms living for the fraction
of a moment upon that insignificant
speck! Of how great consequence in
the vast scheme of the creation can the
little questions that relate to our ephe
meral comforts be? It a sunflame
should lick us up our disappearance from
the universe, physically considered,
would be of less importance than that
of the minutest drop of water from the
ocean. But li tna sun anouia aisappeax
there would be a star gone from heaven,
A part of the universe, at least, would
notice its absence. Whatever, threatens
the existence of the sun, then, has an
appreciable Importance. The astronomer
finds that the sun spots are sympto
matic of progressive changes which will
eventually bring the sun's career to an
end, and so he studies them, not for the
sake of finding out merely how they
may affect our petty affairs, but In or
der to trace, for his intellectual satis
faction, the grand phenomena ot the life
and death of a star. And In. doing that
he Is pursuing the only oourse which
can rescue man from oblivion, offsetting
his material insignificance and nothing'
ness with the relative greatness of his
mind.

By all means Invite this yeung man up

nice spirit in wanting to know your peo

respect for you. If you think your uncle
would not be cordial to him, have him
meet your aunt. Don't sacrifice a friend

confess that your uncle Is rather stern to

Is a form of jealousy, -and he adds that
affection and love are the same thing.

not love them, and feel that Jealousy
would follow love rawer nm.a n"
Jealousy. "Won't you explain the matter
to me?" writes Edith.
What la love? la a question that has
been asked almost ever since the world
began. The answers to It are about as
numerous as are the individuals mat
rn.ii.ta tha earth. Even the ideals of
love differ according to climate, race and
creed. A very clever man recently saia
to me, "Love Is a matter of geography."
Love Is a matter of all sorts of externals,
which It would I hsrd to dflne. But
In an ideal state love ought to be and
mean and stand f cetaln very definite
things.
First of all, love ought to be unselfish
and seldom 1st Real love ought to con
sider the happtness of Its beloved, as well
el Itself. It ought to be faithful and
tender and true, and because It la these
things In Itself It ought to believe in
them In Its beloved.
.'Jealousy "is not part of love It Is love's
eruelest enemy, and It slsya real love. . If
you cannot trust." you do not love and
make 'up our mind to that. '.
, Emotion and love are often mistaken
for each ether. Emotion may oe a wild,
turbulent thing of feeling and desire. It
craves posseaaton and resents the thought
that its object can find happlneas away
from It. It la Jealoua, exacting, fever

to produce a similar effect In the person
It honors with Its dangerous dsvotlun.

And June put her strong shoulder to the underpinning of the castles
I bullied.
"Her face was cleverly modeled) with a strong chin and wide
brows and her browny gold hair blew across her cheeks, like corn

Rlad about that. So had my Ideals changed since the first pal, Ivy.
For I was tlad, with an exulting leap in my heart, when June tired

"June taught me gayety, courage and valiancy. She seared out
of my heart what lurked there of unwholeaomeness in my love of
mystery. Because of her and the unchangeable worship of sane
goodness she bred In my heart did I Inter tear out of my life
a flame that thrived on sunless things and grotesquerle!
"June burns bolden a flame that has not ever completely died
down In my life. The clasp of ber strong, pretty fingers Is printed
on my hknd for keeps.
VOnce I kissed June. In the canoe. In a purple twilight when
all the sound water and the air was a swimming flood of wine color.
And that I will not tell you of.

Every Morning
Qst In the habit of drinking
glass of hot water before
breakfast
We're not here long, so let's make our
stay agreeable. Let us live well, eat well,
digest well, work well, sleep well, and
look well. What' a glorious condition to
attain, and yet, how very easy it Is if
one will enly adopt the morning Inside
bath.
Polka who are accustomed to feel dull
and heavy when they arise, splitting
headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue,
nasty breath, acid stomach, can, in
stead, feel as fresh aa a daisy by open
ing the alulces of the system each morn
ing and flushing out the whole of tho
Internal poisonous stagnant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well,
should, each morning, before breakfast, -drink
a glass of real hot water with a
teaspoonful ot limestone phosphate In
It to wash from the stomach, liver and
bowels the previous dsy's indigestible
wests, sour bile and poisonous - toxins;
thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before put
ting more food Into the stomach. The
action of hot water and limestone phos
phate on sn empty stomach Is wonder
fully Invigorating. It cleans out all the'
sour fermentations, gasee. waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid appe
tite for breakfast. While you are en
Joying your breakfast the water and
phoaphate is quietly extracting a large
volume of water from the blood and
getting ready for a thorough flushing
jot all the Inside organs.
Tlis millions of people who are bothered
with constipation, bilious spells, stomach
trouble; others who have sallow skUis,
blood disorders and sickly complexions
are urged to get a quarter pound of
limestone phosphate from the drug store.
This will cost very little, but is sufficient
to make anyone a pronounced crank on
the subject' of inside-bathing before
breakfast. Advertisement.
To Have Perpetually
Wavy, Curling Hair
Perpetually wavy, curling hair ia now
within the meana of every woman to
pusausa. All one need do is to gel a few
ounces of plain ILiuld silmerlue at any
drug store and apply a little of it oc
eaalonally. Thta ia remarkably effective
in producing a beau.lful curlineaa ajid
satiny aloaa which ar no evidence of
aillflclul making. It is neither sticky
or sreaay. and it will not streak, alatn
or injure hair or acalp in the leaat.
After one trial, the scorching, halr-de-strovlns
curling iron will never more be
uaed. The bt way to apply the allmer
ine la wl h a clean tooth brush, drawing
this through the hair from root to tip.
If this l dona before retiring, a look
Into the mirror In the momliiK will af
ford a moat agreeable surprise. Advar-tlaenient
