The latest th.ory Of ''Spots on the Sum-
is put forth in the Mirror of Saturday, by
James Arlington Bennett. He insists that
the Sun, on the surface, is a mass Of flame,
and that nine spots are now visible on that
surf'ce, leach equal to the earth in diameter.
These spots are caused by the exhaustion
OF the gases at those points Of the body of
the Sun, and the Sun being only one hun
dred times the diameter of the earth, one
tenth is already consumed. BY and by the
whole gasses Of the Sun are to be consumed,
and the Earth left with no light but that of
the stars. This will be the end of the hu-
man race on earth. We hope the Sun will
hold out few centuries longer.-N. Y
