j The lecture by Prof. John G.
! Scorer was largely attended.
"Jokes and Their antiquity , " was
1 the subject considered. The speak
er is a master of his subject. Mis
ideas are good and he presents
them clearly and forcibly. His
able treatment of his subject shows
a vast amount of research and in
vestigation , beginning with the
days of Adam and coming down
through the long , dark corridors
of time. He proves that Solo
mon's aphorism , "that there is
nothing new under the sun , " is as
true in the realm of jokes as else
where. He shows that most of the
jokes current today ante-date the
days of the author of Proverbs ;
that many of them belong to the
mi-.ty labyrinth of the past. The
lectun ; and lecturer were worthy
of the large audience that turned
out. jVIilwaukee , Wis. , News.

No Cause for Alarm as to the
Spots on the Sun.
Father Uigge , the astronomer of
Creighton university , says :
The unusual large spot at pres- .
ent on the sun is causing consider- i
able comment in the daily papers
all over the country. I clip the
following from a Chicago pa > er
but omit the startling headlines :
"Chicagoans today were startled
by an immense spot on the sun ,
covering one-tenth of its entire
visible surface. Thousands were
puzzled and anxious. In all parts
of the city crowds gathered in the
streets , watching the great spot ,
speculating and arguing as to its
cause and effect. Astronomers at
the University of Chicago and
Northwestern and Lake Forest ,
watched the phenomona through .
'
powerful glasses and declared the
spot one of the largest ever ob- .
served. The spot caused fear and
j
trembling among the superstitious ,
and through the levee districts
women and men prayed and sang ,
believing the end of the world was
approaching and declaring loudly
that the sun was going out. "
Now , let. me assure the reader
that there is absolutely nothing
alarming in this spot on the sun.
There is not'iing that an astrono
mer woul-1 not delight in seeing.
Its baneful effects upon the earth
and upon the weather are entirely
in the i-pagination of the ignorant
and of those who do not thus
scrupl to prey upon the invincible
ignorance of poor people , in the
colu nns of sensational papers.
