The surroundâ€" ings of the leper were also unclean (Lev. xill., 47â€"59; xiv., 33â€"47). We must see to it that our surroundings are not inâ€" fected.

The Canadian and American police and the Canadian Secret Service are in constant communiâ€" cation concerning the robberies. The band is believed to be very expert and those who have done the actual work are thoroughly versed in railroad knowledge. _ It is now thought that the accident in which Lord Minto‘s train ran into an open switch, killing several porâ€" sons, was one of the first moves of the band, for the railroads say that the opâ€" ening of the switch could not have been an accident. The letters all demanded that theâ€" comâ€" pany show white instead of green markâ€" ers on the through trains to indicate that negotiations might be begun. No attention was paid to the demand, and within the last month narrow escapes from derailment have been of daily ocâ€" currence. J. G. Bury, General Superintendent of the Canadian Pacific, received in August a threatening letter demanding $50,000 from his road and $50,000 froin the Canadian Northern.

Mysterious Force Stream of Attenuated Matter Affects Compass. London, Dec. 5.â€"In a lecture before the Royal Astronomical Society, E. W. Maunder, superintendent of the solar departinent of the Greenwich Observaâ€" tory, announced as the result of proâ€" longed investigations his belief that the familiar magnetic disturbances which‘ derange the mariner‘s compass are diâ€" rectly related to sun sgots. He thinks the mysterious force which agitates the earth is a stream of attenuated matter, like a comet‘s tail or electrically charged particles, shot out from the sn spots. The rotary motion of the sun causes this stream to assume the form of a spiral, like a watch spring. When it reaches the earth it takes on the same motion as the earth.
