The following is extracted from the Meteorological
Journal for September. 1828, kept at the Observatory
of. Dr. Burney, Gosport, Hants : • - • .
" Having deter mined the' time of the revolution of
the macula :Wares under our last month's Meteorolo-
gical- Report, and minutely observed and noted. for
some years past, their formation, as well as the muta-
tions viLich they have undergone, independently of their
apparent augmentation in• approaching to, and linear
contraction in receding from the sun's centre, we shall
now make a few ;emeriti thereon, and prbve the sphe-
ricity of the sun° by t e comparative titue of their appa-
rent motion upon the diametrical divisions of its disc.
44 We. formerly pointed out the mutability cf . the
nueleFand basbtz; 'or penumbra of .the large macula.
ortlack spots, yet they appear to have a fixed position
at their bases, and.evidently increase in height,± divide
into several distinct spots in the same umbra, and the
matter of their composition sometimes appears like a
dark thick fluid, with a smukey substance proceeding
from it, detaching itself from, and moving in a contrary
direction to the course of the spots. On such occasions
the umbra first gradually disappear!, as it to make way
in the pait where the separating matter moves from the
original mass. Hence it appears that the matter of such
spots is by some powerful agency liquified; but whether
from the effects of heat communicated to the body of
the sun, the same as heat is produced by the union of
the solar rays with the denser medium of our atmo-
sphere, and communicated to the earth, it appears im-
possible to determine.
" If we could be assured by any philosophical experi•
orients of the probability of a superior.calorific quality
df the solar rays in the atmosphere of the sun to that of
the earth, we might be allowed to contemplate greater
effects of heat, at and below the sun's surface, than have
ever been observed oat the earth's, and also the proba-
bility of frequent eruptions from volcanic matter pro-
duced by such heat.—lndesd, the sudden appearance of
the macula, their tiling conically from their bases, and
their liquid and smokey aspect on some occasions, seem
to favour soar an idea ; but thermometrical caper!.
mert and the perpetual snow on the tops of some of
flit highest mountains, prove the solar rays to possess
but a feeble-calorific quality in such high situations, in
comparison of those that impinge on the plane of the
earth's sulfate, and militate against the supposition
which 'was strongly entertained by the first observers of
the solar spots.
" Modern observers have signified that the nuclei of
the macula are opaque mountains on the sun's surface.
some of them to the height of *two or three hundred
miles; anethat they are seen through the solar atmos-
phere.' Be this as it may, they increase in height from
their bases, separated into two, three, and sometimes
fair distinct spots in the same umbra, and again unite
with the original mass. Toe general conclusions drawn
by the first observers if the solar spots were, that they
often appeared in a liquid state; nor can any observer
tow affirm from his noses, if faithfully taken by the aid
of a high magnifying power, that their nuclei are solid
Inseparable masses : It may, indeed, appear so in many
of the smaller spots, but it often has a different ap-
pearance in the larger ones.
" If heat exist in the sun's atmosphere, the facultz,
or lucid sp.ts, which we haveseen precede, accompany,
and follow the macula. may be reasonably couceiveii
to be the attenuated pasts of that atmosphere, which
may be caused by an extraordinary temperature, the
