HER SPELL.
Mrs. Engelthorpe was enjoying one
of her spells. The world, more espe-
cially the animal world, seemed to
have conspired to make Mrs. Engel-
thorpe deliciously miserable. The
The chickens had stretched up the
garden seeds, the dog had dug a hole
in the front lawn, the pasture gate
had been insecurely fastened and the
cow had wandered off clown the road
and trampled a neighbor's tulips.
Thus, having a grievance, Mrs.
Engelthorpe made the most of it, She
was that sort of woman. When one
of her spells came upon her she court-
ed action. No action forthcoming, she
would of course have simply blown up
and thus deprived the community of a
good woman and her family of an
affectionate wife and mother.
She picked up a broom and made a
mild swoop at the chickens. They scat-
tered, squawking and fluttering. Back
and forth, here and there, she went,
until they were all back in the netted
inclosure.
"Land!" she gasped. "Serves me
right for leaving the coop door open.
Can't blame the chickens; they
haven't much sense."
Presently she swept the dirt from
the lawn into the hole 'made by the
dog. The animal, one ear pendent, sat
at some distance watching her.
"Real nice of you, Buddy," she said,
"to try and get that mole out. Too
bad you haven't sense enough to know'
you can't get 'em that way; just,
simply can't be done, that's all. Just'
the same you tried, didn't you?"
The animal grinned widely and
scratched an ear.
Then, still carrying the broom, she;
went down the road to the neighbor's.'
If we're superior we might as well
be superior, hadn't we?"
Mrs. Brown did not reply. She went
into the kitchen and put a sunbonnet
on her head.
"Come on," she said softly, "I'll go
with you to find your cow."

"Heard you shouting at old Silky,'

head in at the kitchen en door.

my fault she got out; I was in tool
much of a hurry when I fastened the'
'gate. Just as soon as Mr. Engel -i
thorpe comes back from town we'll'
bring over some of our tulips and,
fix up that pretty bed of yours. Can't',
blame the cow, of course, only I'll say:
this for old Silky—she's certainly gots
a real artistic eye when it comes to
picking spots for browsing. Wonder
where she's got to by this time?"
Mrs. Brown emerged on the porch„
wiping her hands on her apron. Here
chin was still trembling -angrily.
"You'd ought to," she began shrilly,.
"be more careful."
"I know it. But sometimes things
happen. I'm sorry about the tulips,
but, as I,say, we'll fix things up. Did
you notice where old Silky went?"
"No, I didn't, but I know she's car-
rying a good welt across the face
wherever she is."
"Oh, she is! Well, suppose while
you're feeling that way you trot over
with your little welter and get that
yours out of our potato

A sputtering silence.
Then, very slowly, Mrs.. Brown's
eyea turned to meet Mrs: Engle-
Thorpe's eyes. They 'met only twinkles
there,

In the rough and dimly lighted

The spots are the most noticeable
features of the sun when they aro pre-
sent, and large ones may be seen with
relatively slight optical aid, Atpre-
sent the spots are probably too small
to be seen without a small 'telescope,

Photographing Sun Spots,
When viewed with sufficient magnify-
ing'power the typical sun spot is seen
to consist of a dark centre, called the
"umbra," and a ligter border, the "pen-
umbra,"- Actually, however, the ap-
parently dark umbra is brighter and
hotter thou, an electric arc light, but
It seems dark by comparison with the
rest of the sun.
A photograph of a sun spot through
an instrument called the "spectre -
heliograph," an invention of Dr. Hale,
enables the observer to tune in on
one wave length of the sun's light, to
use a radio analogy. Such pictures
show the distribution of any one ele-
ment, such as colcium or hydrogen,
on the sun and reveal a definitely
spiral structure of the spot. It is In
this way that their nature bas bees

Associated with the activity of the
sun, as revealed by the presence or
absence of spots, are numerous other
phenomena. Of most interest to earth-
livers is the relation between them
and ouraverage telnpera.tures. It has
been noticed that the earth le ap-
preciably cooler at the time of spot
maximum than at the minimum, and
this may, seem surprising, because the
spots indicate Increased solar activity.
However, it is supposed that at such
active times large quantities of "dust,"
small particles ofsomekind, are
thrownout around the sun and that
this acts as a screen to reduce radia-
tion to the earth. Support is given
this .view by the fact that the corona,
which can only bo seen at the time of
a total eclipse, seems to consist of
such small particles and is much more
extensive at the time of a large num•
