SOLAR CHANGES.

AMERICANS SEEK APPROPRIATE SITE FOR OBSERVER.

Durban, May 12-Armed with Instruments that will measuro changes in the temperature of the suns rays of less than one-million of a degree, a party of American natural scientists headed by Dr. C. G. Abbot, has arrived in Dur ban. They propose to examina the possibilities of South-west Africa for a site for the establish- ment of an observatory to study variations in solar redlation, in order to arrive at some explanation of the causes of weather change and to lay down a basis for ac- curate weather forecasting.

Among their instruments is a barometer so delicate that it will measure the smallest changes of temperature of each of the com- ponent rays of a beam of sunlight, and contains a mirror no larger than a pin head, and a galiano- metor with hair-like magnets, the whole being suspended by a fiber, of quartz crystal one-ten thour- andth of an inch in diameter. It will deal with rays of a wave- length of 500,000,000. timus shor- ter than those used by wireless..

per cent. in the sun's radiation- produce changes in the weather. In other words, the weather de- pends on the variation of the sun. "Two stations for carrying out this work have already been es- tablished, one in Chile, about eight years ago, and the other in California. The Chilean Govern- ment have taken intense interest in the work of the station," and have made arrangements to have all the data supplied to them, 80 that they can work out weather forecasts for Buenos Aires. They have even requested that the in- formation from the new third sta- tion, perhaps from South Africa, shall be supplied to them as a further aid to these forecasts.

Governments Interested. "Both the American and British Governments have shown great interest in the work, as a pos- sible means of finding some funda- mental basis of meteorological observation, and the Norwegian authorities have even suggested that the data should be radiocast over. Europe, so that they shall have the benefit of the latest data and be able to utilize it in their. meterorological work. But that time is not yet.

As it was found impossible to arrive at the desired accuracy at the two stations which the Smith- sonian Instituation. Las maintain- ed, the National Geographical Society have offered to equip and maintain a third station for some years to supplement the work of. the other two."

Sun spots have a lot to do with the weather on the carth. That is now past conjecture, and some interesting results have been ob- tained by the methods which Dr. Abbot will use in South-west 'Afriqa, if he finally decides to go

there.

BLUEJACKET'S EYE TO BUSINESS.

ALLEGED DESERTER FOUND RUNNING A CAFE.

Tsingtao, June 12--The bold exploits of an American bluejacket are now engaging the attention of the community and naval visitors. This young man a mail orderly once serving on the U. S. S. Asheville, absconded from that. ship some six months ago. He is alleged to have left with a con- siderable sum of money represent- ing remittances entrusted to him by his comrades for transmission to the United States.

The déserting sailor travelled about China for a few months and then came here. He was able to find a business partner and opened a cafe right on the main street of the city, Shantung Road. His ob- ject, of course, was to profit by the annnal advent of the navy and, reap a golden harvest. He seems to have succeeded, as for the past 11th July.
