Sun Spots.
31. Fnye recently rcail a paper to the
I'uris Academy of Scicnces on certain
objections rni.su I by Dr. Kcye against
the theory of solar spots, which he re-
gards as being caused by cyclones
raging in the atmosphere of the sun.
His learned adversary adverts to the
clicet, produced by tornadoes, and
docs not see anything of the kind
in the solar globe, and remarks that
no eminent astronomer has yet adopted
M. Faye's views. To this the latter
replies that Dr. Reye has no right to
speak publicly in the name of nil; and
that we generally see new theories,
except when they are brought to
light by some astounding and
ovident fact, exposed to cautious
scrutiny, »ud not adopted without
much discussion. Lnroi innately, he
ndds, Dr. Kcye, and another adversary,
M. K. Uautier, of Geneva, have made
such an objection at an unlucky mo-
ment, precisely at a time when appro-
bation and encouragement are flowing
in to him; and here he quotes the
valuable authority of Mr. Norman
Lockyer, who, in a recently published
w -rk of his, declares that 31. Faye ling
virtually adopted the views advocated
by Knglish observers. Here, however,
curiously enough, the French astrono-
mer, though quite willing to accept
praise at the hands of 3Ir. N. Lockyer,
objects to the idea that he has, even
virtually only, borrowed anything
from over the water. Dr. Reye, in
speaking of tornadoes, says that their
mechanical effects clearly prove that
the ambient air rushes toward the cen-
ter of the phenomenon, and then as-
sumes an ascensional motion, which
may be ascertained by watching the
course of light bodies in the air, and
which, having been sucked up by the
water spout, fall down again from the
clouds. 31. Faye ridicules this idea as
having no foundation, and being only
the result of preconceived supposition*;
lie remarks, on the other hand, that
an instant's reflection ought to have
caused it to be at once rejected on me-
chanical grounds, since it can not be
admitted that the lower strata of the
air should convergejfrom all the points
of the horizon toward an ideal and,
moreover, movable orifice, in order af-
terward to rise vertically into the at-
mosphere up to the clouds. As regards
the solar spots, he persists in his opin-
ion that they are neither scorite, as 3f.
Zo llncr thinks, nor the effects of ex-
plosions, as Father Secchi will have it.
It is a pity people can not do good
and be happy, without cxciting the
envy of others. The Fort Scott Moni-
tor says;
So it seems, after all, the Texas
delegation that visited Kansas City
not long since, and over whom so
much fuss was made, was only intended
to flatter the vanity of that city, judg-
ing from the speech that was made at
the .Merchants' Kxchaogc on Saturday
in St. Louis, where a large delegation
of Texans are now being entertained.
3Ir. 31. L. Crawford, of Jefferson,
said it was useless for Kansas City to
attempt to compete with St. Louis for
the trade of Texas. The people of
Texas regarded St. Louis as their com-
mercial headquarters, and were coming
here to do their trading. He said;
"We don't want your money, gentle-
men send us your saddles, harness,
furniture, flour, bacon, etc., and we
will semi you in return our cotton,
wool, hides and lumber."
And ban it come to this—that Gal-
veston, which has always paid gold for
cotton, it to be cut aside, while the
fleecy staple is to t>e dickered off, at a
CJnt a pound less than this city offers,
>. house furniture, flour and bacon,
while wheat to make the flour is sent
rom Texas, and St. Louis gets most
>f her fresh meats from this State
\nd to think that a man from Texas,
ven at a convivial meeting, should
propose to trade us off so cheaply! It
is too bad. " Farewell, Brother Crof-
ferd."

Saturday Evening, August 1, 1874.1
Business has been dull to-day, and nothing
noteworthy "has transpired in the general
m vement.
Hides are less buoyant, and there appears
to be more disposition to relax the selection
and reduce the price for dry. Wet salted
was strong and advancing. Small lots of
fine woel sold to-day at prices Justifying the
range of quotations for some time past. The
tone of leading markets favors a full range
of prices.
The cotton market is at a complete stand-
still. Nothing was reported sold to-day. Gold
appears stronger and the premium ranged up
to 109^ in New York, without having any per-
ceptible effect upon this market, which is
over-supplied. At the close the New York
quotations relaxed to 109^, the closing figure
last evening.
There is a general belief that trade will in-
crease steadily henceforward, and wholesale
dealers are stocking up accordingly.

NOTICE TO MARINERS.
Gulf of Mexico—Yucatan—north Coast—
Harbor Light at Progreso—Information is de-
rived, through a notice issued by the United
States government, that a fixed white iight is
exhibited from a mast on the roof of the Cus-
tomhouse (a square white building near the
pier head) at Progresso (Tuxula,) North coast
of Yucatan. In clear weather the light should
be seen from a distance of about six miles.
Approximate position, lat. 21 deg. 18 min. N.,
Ion. 89 deg. 33 mln. W.
Directions—As wind and current are both
usually from the eastward, care should be
taken not to fall to leeward. In the daytime
the land should be made about Port Yalkubn,
or Jungle Point, and at night in a vessel of
moderate draught, the five fathom line should
be struck ten miles to the eastward of Pro-
gresso. The usual and best anchoragc is in
four to five fathoms, sandy bottom, with the
Customhouse bearing about SE. From this
position the cargo lighters have a leading
wind to and from the shore with the sea
breeze.
Progresso ia now the only port of entry on
the North Coast of Yflcatan, Sisal having
ceased to be such.
