These cyclones were visible to astronomers i: the form of | “sunspots.” Some of these spots were larger than our earth. ‘Astronomers are blaming these solar cyclones for the severe and disrupted weather experienced recently in various parts of the earth, including the high gales and torrential rains in the Brp#ish Isles and North Atlantic. sponsible for “uncertain” weather elsewhere. The cyclones on the sun are accompanied by rapidly whirling electrical changes and they belch out new flanting material on the guys wface, thus increasing its activity. Some of the -torren' A blectvic projectiles travel out into space as far as the earth. These probably produce magnetic storms, says Sir Oliver Lodge. The activity of the sun rises and falls with regularity in a period or cycle of 11 years. It has been steadily declining since 1917, has now almost reached bottom. And the recent big sunspots may be the “turning of the tide’—the start of another period of increased activity by the sun. Like everything else—a period of rest is inevitable be- tween periods of activity. Everything is in cycles, contrasts. Henri Deslandres, director of Paris Physical Astronom- ieal Observatory, says it is now definitely known that rays of great penetrating power, including X-rays and radiations of high frequency, are emitted by the sux and stars. Deslandres suggests that these rays may make the signals which are picked up occasionally by the wireless and which have so far baffled the electrical experts. The “radio messages from people on Mars” may be mere- ly radiations from the sun. The more scientists study the sun, the more of a mystery something to do with regu- Without it, life on our earth would be It is the force that apparently has most to do with perpetuating life, and some even believe it is the sit seems.

PROPAGANDA Warning: Take the news from Europe with a grain of ssalt. If your memory is good, you observe news “feelers” coming from abroad that strikingly resemble the propaganda “of the World War.

INCOMPETENT A long name here is followed by something interesting: ‘The United. Women’s Wear League is agitating for a way to prevent incompetents from going into business. It might work, in the nature of an advisory board. Such boards al- ready exist, in éffect—the rating men who determine wheth- -er or not a new business shall be granted credit. France once had a law, by which a government officer advised all persons planning to enter business. He “also passed on their competency and financial ability. Any one with common sense will consult experts, for counsel, before paddling out in his own canoe. The League has others in mind. ° RUSSIA The magician keeps your attention on one part of the stage while he pulls his tricks elsewhere. So with Europe.

Of those the ; chief was the League of Nations, in whose behalf he has made ad- dresses lately in New York and Boston. But if the plan was to furnish in the person of Jus Clrake a champion of the Lea who might be nominated for the | Presidency by the Democracy in 19; may be said to have fallen flat, because of lack of popular re- | sponse to Justice Clarke's plea. | The Democrat. candidate of 1920, James M. Cox, has shown the courage of his conviction or the faith of his illusion in consistent advocacy of the League. But, Mr. Cox, a gamé enough advocate and a spry cnough fighter, clearly the hit would ht wi arke intellectual wi hoped Justice ll say Justice Clarke does not supply Governor Cox's deficien but whatever political expectancy prefigured the League of Nation as a winning issue for 1924 has been knocked into a cocked hat by the Ruhr invasion.
