One suggested explanation is that the explosion and blaze at Black Tom Island were responsible. Another lays the phenomenon to Canadian forest fires. Certainly fires in the woods have had a similar effect in this city in past years. When the pine forests of Cape Cod or of Gloucester and Scituate pour out dense clouds of smoke in a time of drought, the sunshine turns a weird yellow or copper hue. The red sunsets of 1883-1884 are well remembered by people who are just beginning to call themselves niddle-aged. In August, 1883, Kra- katoa, a volcano in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra, which had been mildly active since May, sent out a tremendous mass of rock material, the dust from which was carried to an estimated helght of seventeen miles and distributed by the upper currents of the atmosphere to the furthest corners of the earth Two years earlier, on September sixth, occurred the famous yellow day, whose ghastly pall was attribut- ed to the smoke from forest flames.

Nothing in Araer- | ican politics is more significant than | the passing of the old torch-light pa- | rades, the vanishing of the old hlind | alleglance to a party name, regariless | of what that party name stood for. | The American public shifts its votes very freely in these days a influential part of it, which wields the | balance of the power, demands food | for thought, not appeals to prejudice. President Wilson’s position in his | campaign for re-election is that H man, who, having done certain thir is open to fair leriticism. His record it not open, however, to abuse and rancor based upon vague generalities and that is all that his opponents have mustered against him so fa “What would you have done, if had been in his place?"” That is the fair test which criticism of President Wilson’s policies must meet. Perhaps the grave, silent gen- tleman whom the republicans have nominated will be able to answer It to the public’s satisfaction, and per- haps not; but answer it he must. He has not attempted to do so as yet and to that extent the campalgn cannot be said to be under w¢ Mr. Hughes has already launched | his general denunciation. He must now prepare a bill of particulars and for every policy he attempts to tear | down he must not only offer a sa factory substitute but must show that would hawe been able to carry that substitute into effect, had he heen president. It must square with all the rfacts—the situation in congress, \nd the disposition of his own party. Thus when Mr. Hughes brands our | foreign policy since the war as inef- fective, he must not only offer a better in its place, but must show rhat that better one would have squared with the policy adopted by the publicans in congress, such as Hous Leader Mann and his G.

The story: Pat Garvey, section foreman at Trunkeyville, was formerly in the hablt of sending long and detailed re- ports to the supervisor. Oftentimes his daily report would contain three four pages. The supervisor be- came weary of wading through a mass of detall and ordered Garvey to “boll” his reports down. ‘“You aren't writing love letters,” was the super- visor's rebuke, “but railroad reports.” Soon after this ultimatum was re- celved by Garvey the memorable cloudburst and flood occurred at Trunkeyville.
