half the tiHtial crop of prune, and we
figure that In the three Northwestern
states the oulut will be in the neigh

full average yield,

THE SUN A PUZZLE.
- - - v
We See Only the Outer Shell of the
Great Blazing Orb.
The groat bull of Are which we call
Jio auu la not really tho nun. No one
las ever seen the sun. A series of
ioncentrlc shells envelop a nucleus of
which we know absolutely nothing ex
opt that It must be almost Infinitely
hotter than the fiercest furnace and
that It uiiiHt amount to more than nine-U-ntliM
of the solar muss.
That uiK'luus 1 the real sun, forever
lliitlen from us, The outermost of the
itnveloplng shells Is about 5,000 tulle
'.lilcli and in called tho chromosphere.
It I a gaseous fluid, tinted with the
K'arlct glare of hydrogen, and so furi
ously active that It spurts up grout
tongue of glowing gas (prominences)
to tho height of thousand of miles.
Tlrno was when thl agitated sea of
crimson fire could be scon to advantage
:mly during an eclipse. Now special In
struments are used which enable as
tronomers to study It In the full glare
of the sun.
lJeyoud the chromosphere, fur beyond
the prominence even, lies the nebulous
pallid corona visible only during the
vanishing momenta of a total eclipse,
aggregating not more than seven days
In a century.
No one has ever satisfactorily ex
plained how the highly attenuated
matter composing both the promi
nences and the corona In supported
wftbout falling back Into the sun un
der the pull of solar gravitation. Now
that Arrhenlus bus cosmic-ally applied
the effects of light pressure a solution
s presented.
flow difficult It Is to account for
such delicate streamers a the promi
nences on the sun Is better compre
hended when wo fully understand bow
relentlessly powerful Is the grip' of
solar gravitation,
If tho sun were a habitable globe
and you could transport yourself to Its
surface, you would mid yourself pulled
down so forcibly by srnvltntlon that
you would weigh two tons, assuming
(hut you are an ordinary human belt:R.
Your clothing alone would weigh
more than a hundred pounds. Baseball
muld be r'aj'ed in a solar drawing
room, for there would bo some diffi
culty In throwing a ball more than
thirty feet
Tennis would lie degraded to a form
of outdoor plngpong.
From these considerations It Is plain
that gravitation on the sun would tend
to prevent the formation of any lam
bent streamers and to pull down to its
Kiirface masses of any size. Harper's

How, the Great 8howman Turned His
Death to Account
Among the features of the parades
of tbe Iturnum circus there wus for
merly ono that never failed to attract
attention. On the top of one, of the
wild beast cages lay an enormous lion
lie was not confined In any way. and
nervous people watching the parade
would shudder at the sight and cou
template the terrible possibility of the
Hon springing Into the luldnt of the
crowd.
But the venerable old king of beasts
had reached the leonine dotage, and
stiffened muscles and blunted claws
rendered him harmless. TJto was as
mild as a kitten and In tbe whiter
quarters, . where he was allowed to
ron m at will, sometimes had to be pro
tected from the onslaughts of Irrever
ent and mischievous puppies.
Ono night he ' wandered from the
quarters. In the course of his travels
ho chanced on a barn where a meek
eyed cow was placidly chewing her
cud. A faint flicker of the slumbering
Jungle spirit stirred bis pulse, and.
with a crashing blow of the huge fore
paw, the cow was slain; then, lying
down beside his victim, be went to
sleep and dreamed of the time when be
was a shaggy little whelp playlug with
his brothers under the bright sun of his
furoff African home.
In the morning the owner of tbe cow,
a stalwart female with the blood of
Irish kings In her veln, entered the
Imrn with milk pall In hand. Sho was
filled with wrath at the sight that met
her gaze. With a keen edged ax In her
baud and grim determination in her
eye she fearlessly approached the sleep
ing Hon, and when the men sent out to
search for him arrived he lay cold iu
death. Barnum promptly paid for the
dead cow and engaged to appear on
exhibition "the woman wbo In mortal
combat had slain a Hon."
