Mysteries of Science and Nature
The Sun is a Variable Star and Its Changes Affect
the Price of a Mans Dinner What Science's
Latest Discovery Means
By GARRETT P. SKHV1SS.
The recently announced conclusion of
Prof. Frost, the head of tho Yerkcs Ob.
servatory, that the aun Is a variable star
Is In accord with what has been said re
peatedly In these
ooiumns. It is a
tremendously Im
portant fact, and
Its demonstration Is
mainly due to the
labors of Meiwra. C.
O. Abbot and F K.
Fowle of the Smith
sonian Institution,
Their statements
have been con
firmed by observa
tions ot astrono-
man In Europe.
The sun has nut
suddenly bee ome
variable; It has been variable for ages,
but not until now has any measurement
ot Its variability been obtained. It has
taken ten years to eliminate all the pos
sible sourceB of error In the work, one
of the principal difficulties being to dis
criminate between the effect ot changing
conditions of the earth's atmosphere af
fecting Ita ability to transmit the radi
ation from tho sun to the surface ot the
globe, and changes occurring In the sun
Itself.
It seems now to be certain that the In
tensity of the rays which the sun sends
to the earth often varies at least aa much
as five per cent In periods of only a week
or ten days. These variations, of course,
directly affect the temperature and the
character of the weather. Then there
are variations of a much longer period,
and of greater general extent. Indicated by
the waxing and waning of black spots on
the sun's disk.
When there are many and large spots
on the sun Its radiation is not diminished,
but Increased, and when they are few and
small, aa at the present time, the radia
tion, In general, falls off. But at all
times, apparently, minor changes are
going on In the sun. which produce quite
sudden alterations Sn the temperature
of the earth.
As has Just been said, we are now at a
(period of minimum In the sun spots, but
In about four years from now thy will
be numerous again, and then a general
Increase ot the solar radiation is to be
expected. It takes, on the average, about
seven years for the sun spots to decline
from a maximum to a minimum, and
about four years for them to rise again
from a minimum to a maximum. Mean
while the radiation is not steady at any
time, except for a few days
The practical importance of the recent
studies of these things is seen In Prof-
Frost's announcement that the time Is
IbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbVP''
near at Jinnd when it will be possible to
foretell the general character of the sea
sons long In advance. -
He thinks that that may be achieved
within about twenty-five years.
Then, It the' present promise Is kept,
It will be possible for farmers and grow
ers of all kinds. of crops to know In ad
vance what they have to expect, and to
govern their sowings end plantings ac
cordingly. The sun will he recognised as tho great
dictator In agricultural affairs, and they
will be the most successful cultivators
who heed the hints which It gives of
Impending changes In tta humor, They
wll watch Its face, with the aid of the
astronomers, aa Nero's 'courtiers watched
the play ot their tyrant's features.
nut the mere fact that those who have
been conducting these researches think
It possible to foretell the -varying effects
of the solar radiation upon the earth
shows that even in Us most variable
moods the sun Is subjected to a law
which It cannot violate. It Is only neces
sary to find out exactly what that law
Is and how It operates In order to foresee

Wellington in Spain
My REV. THOMAS 11. GRKGORY
It was 105 years agoAugust I, IMS
that the "Iron Duke." then meroiy "Sir"
Arthur Wclcsley, landed at Mondegu

Marshals of France
In the battle for

Iberian peninsula.
At the time In

of but meagre
fame. He had
filled certain
minor poslUons,
and filled them to
the complete satis
faction of his su
periors, but he was
to a large extent
unknown.
The prospect, as he stepped ashore at
Mondego Buy was not a rosy one. The
Napoleonic forces had been on the
ground for some time, and hud achieved
some Important results. Napoleon's
brother, Joseph, had been declared.' king
by the "Master ot Europe," and the
greatest marshals ot the empire wqre

out.
But there, too. was Wellington, mudest.

Its effects. Much MM depends upon n
better knowledge of the earth's atmos

place In the solar radiation tho effect
Is rot immediately felt on the earth. The
atmosphere acts as a kind ot buffer, and
takes up the shook, afterwards distribut
ing it In a more' gradual and gentla
manner.
A graphic Illustration of the Importance
of this matter to every human being Is
given In a remark ot Prof. I.angley's,
which Prof. Frost has quoted;
"Though the most unformed nebula msy

us these possibilities nre but Interesting
conjectures, for every nebula might be
wiped out of the sky tonight without af

while a small change In tho solar radia
tion may conceivably cause the ckaths
of numberless men In an Indian famine."
Prof- I-ingley's forecast .has been fully
Justified by tho recent investigations, and
we may now cay that the price of every

She will not marry without her parent'

Marriage and Happiness
By DOROTHY DIX.
Is the happy way to be married the
scrappy way?
Is the real emblem ot domestic felicity
the prize , fighter's mitt, and not the dove
of seace?
Can husbands
and wives really
be too polite, too
considerate and too
amiable?
Is the perfect
husband and wife
not to be desired,
after all?
The average mar
ried couple would
answer theBe ques
tions by saying
that nobody knew,
because no man or
woman had ever
achieved his or her
Ideal mate. He or
she might have
thought he or she
was getting this wonder at the time ot
the marriage, but later on say five years
afterward well, that's a different story,
and a sad one, friends.
Undoubtedly we are all In the way of
thinking that the reason that marriage
Is so often a failure Is because the high

another they bit the dust before him,

A cordial little note, wishing him many

You are so young; will you promise
me to regard no man us more than a

There U One Way.
Dear Miss Fairfax: I am In love, with
n young girl of 1 years. I am 13. I love
her so much that I wouldn't forget her
for anything In the world.
I never told her that I loved her until
last Sunday night, when she told mo that
she, had to give me up on account of a
difference In religion. She said somebody
told her mother and she was told to glvo
me up. Can you tell me how I could get
her back, for I am almost heartbroken?
I. A. C.
Have you thought of making a changt

of demanding It of her?
But you are only I). I know It seems

tues, but they are also short on patience,
and 'civility, and tact, and the most ele
mentary regard for each other's rights
aVid personal liberty. When we see the
way In which most husbunds and wives
treat each other we are not surprised at
the sound of breaking and rending of
matrimonial bonds that we hear all about
us. We are amaxed that any couple re
main tied together.
It appears, however, that you can
overdo a good thing even In matrimony,
and that a husband and wife can be too
perfect, as witness the case of a promi
nent young couplesat actors, who have
Just separated because they found an
Ideal marriage too dull to be endured.
This young man and woman weeo of
the kind of people who take life serloosly.
Before they were married they had long
heart-to-heart talks In whch Ihey dis
cussed the duties and obligations of Hus
bands and wives, and formulated a plan
for making matrimony a grand, uweot
song.
They drew up a list of things that theyy
would do and would retrain from doing
and pledged themselves never to speak a
harsh word, never. to answer back when
the other spoke "Impatiently, never to
provoke a quarrel, never to be Jenlous,
or unreasonable, or moody, or grouchy,
but to be always tender, affectionate.
considerate, patient, forbearing and so on.
In short, each was to be a pin leath
ered angel, and their home was to be a
heaven on earth, but Instead of this iisner
lng In a domestic mlltentum as they an
ticipated, each Boon began to be hored
stiff, and to long to make a few dants
In the perfection of the other. Life be
came Insupportable. It was like living
on a diet ot nothing but chocolate creams,
or In a climate where there Is never any
thing but sunshine, and so the victims
of the too much perfection In marriage
are petitioning the courts to divorce them.
This case can hardly be considered In
the light of an awful warning, because
there 'are not many people who err on
the side of being too good. But un
doubtedly hard as the faulty husband or
wife Is to endure, the perfect oho would
be still worse, for there Is nothing In
heaven or earth that Is more exasperat
ing than the individual that Is always
rlghjv unless It is the person wio re
mains cool, calm, and collected while
you are a seething volcano.
It Is not In humanity to endure per
fection, especially In Its mate, and that
Is why the wife of a man who is an ex
ample In the community always wears a
meek, dejected look, while the husband
of the superior woman Is a sight so
a'bjtct that it brings tears to the hardest
eyes.
It Is also to be observed that tho
women who are the happiest and the
best loved wlv.es are almost Invariably
poor, weak, faulty creatures, who waste
their husbands money on fine clothes
and good times, whereas the wives who
do their duty by their families by econo
mlilng and gvorking, and going shabby,
never get any thanks for It. It Is also
discouraging to masculine lrtue for men
to observe that the most adored hus
bands are those whose wives are kept
busy forgiving them things.
As a matter of fact, most ot the theories
about married llfo don't work out ltj real
experience. For Instance, wives are ad
vised that the way to keep a man nailed
to his own fireside Is to be always amus
ing and entertaining, and dressed up,
and to chat gully with husband of an
evening, and to sing and play for him,
and keep something going all the time.
Can anybody Imagine anything more
horrible than such a home, a horn 2 that
was an understudy or a music hall, and
a wife that Jeapt nimbly from vaudeville
stunt to vaudeville stunt?
What you want with a home Is a place
where you can take off your coat and
your collar, and sit on the back of your
neck, and be quiet, without having to
talk, or to be talked to, or to have to
listen with a polite expression of an In
terest you don't feel. Certainly to bi
married to a woman who would read
aloud to" you. or render a few operatic
selections when yqu were dead tired,
ought to entile any man to divorce on
the ground of cruel nnd uusuhI punish
ment. And equally objectionable would' be a
husband who was such a perfect gontle
man that he always made his wife feel
as If she must have on her best frock
and her company manners, and before
whom she could never permit hcraelf the
luxury of appearing In a kimono and
saying what was really on her mind.
The real psychology of the domestio
quarrel Is that nature is trying to Infuse
a little ginger Into domesticity to keep it
from getting too monotonous and so
cloying on the domestic palate. A good
round quarrel Is tho thunderstorm tnuc
clears the atmosphere and brings fresh
ozone Into the family circle.
The moral ot all ot which Is that It
Is fatal to try to be too good a husband
or wife.
