Their num. r is about 2,000. More than half of them have red hair, blue eyes, {sir skins and light eyebrows beards. They live on 1 shores of Corona- ion gull, the mainland of North America and Victoria island, which formerly was known as Prince Ed: ward Island, 3 It was for. this people that Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the south pole, searched while making bis trip through the northwest passage. Amundsen, it will be remembered, said natives had told him of a race of 'white people living to the north- ward. He sent an expedition along the shore of the island, but saw noth- ing of the tribe, nor did they see any- thing of him. other Arctic explorers have brought down from the north stories of this tribe of lost white people, but the tale came to be regarded as an Indian legend. Ethnologieally, the newly-discovered tribe is entirely different from the Eskimo, nof.only in the shape of the skull, but in general features, color of eyes and text of hair. - They have not a single ace of the Mongolian type.

Sun spots. These little dark blotches an Old Sol's sirface are, according to Prof. Galbraith, head of the School of Science, responsible for the leaden skies and cold, wet months of this past summer. Sun spots have spoil- ed many a picnic party this season, and cut down the profits of the sum- mer boarding-house. Maybe; toa, they have had 'more than a little to do with the street car tie-ups that have intermittently afflicted Toronto. Now the professor's line of science is not weather prophecy. Moreover, he did not express this opinion as against any thet might be put forward by the regularly constituted authori. ties on meteorological subjects. No doubt, however, they entirely concur with him, as the spots are there, and astronomefs have alwpys contended that their presence in numbers was portentous climstically. The Dean's surmise, which was elicited in conver- sation with a friend, foretells a brok- en and uncertain winter to follow this drippy summer. It would appear that the sun spots which have been trying in vain to prevent a record at. tendance 'at 'the Toronto Exhibition are due to stay with us, or rather be- tween uy and the great dispenser of it ar light, for twelve months. any lengthy and learned opinions have been penned on:the subject of sun spots since the time of Dr. Alex- ander Wilson of Glasgow, the first man to observe them in 1768. Bun spots are caused, so the savants sey. by great masses of the vapor gases given off by the sun ascending to a tremendous distance from ite sur- face, cooling, and finally when they are out of range of the heat, con- densing into solid masses and falling with meteoric speed to the sun's sar- face again. "A sun spot," says one authority, "is one of the dark spots that appear from time to time, consisting common- ly of a blue-black central portion, or umbra, with a surrounding border of penumbra, of light shade, and usually visible only with the telescope. "Sun spots are very changeable in the figure and dimensions, varying from mere apparent points (perhaps 1,000 miles across), to spaces over 100,000 miles in extent. They last of- ten a month, sometimes several months. They occur with periodic fre- quency, the length of cycle being 11.13 years, and their appearance is accom- panied by loss of light, sometimes by loss of heat and often by magnetic storms on the earth. Their exact na- ture is not fully known. "In 1851 astronomers measured one huge sun spot, which measured 140,- 000 miles across, and in which the commiotions were so great that they could be detected by eye observation with the telescope."
