How a Boston Man Saw a Sun Spot, A Boston man living out in the suburbs has discovered a fact that may interest a gool many persons What he found possible to see the larger spois that glass or lens of any kind. The shutters of the observer's house happened to be closed, and though # tiny hole near the top of them a peam of sunlight found its way to the tloor. ‘There it left an image, clear and round, tinged at the cir- cumference with a fringe of blue and orange. The whole appearance of the beam as projected reminded the spec- tator of the image of the sun taken on paper through a telescope, and he got a sheet of white note paperin or- der to test his surmise The result confirmed it. A beautiful round im- age of the sun fell on the paper, and near the center thereof could be seen a plush spot, which moved about with the image whenever the paper was shifted. The bluish colored ob- ject was a veritable sun spot, and the observer watched it by the simple means described for several days un- til the revolution of the sun had car ried it out of sight. — Boston Herald. ——— - Thirsty Vegetation. Roots draw enormous quantities of moisture from the soil, and by this means it is discharged into the at. mosphere. For example, the com- mon sunflower was found to exhale twelve bunces of water in twelve hours, and an oak tree with an es- timated number of 700,000 leaves would in the same way give off some- thing like 700 tons of water ing the five months it carries its foliage.
