Solar spots.

Sixty years ago SIR Wllim Herschell,
surprising that ne had discovered a con
nection between the solar spots and our
varying seasons suggested the grand idea
that those great heaviCgs and connections
of the suns surface were the stirring up Of
the sUla1 fires for mans benefit. He
thought he could trace connection be-
tween the price Of tcheat and the number
and frequency Of the spots. 1t remained
for subsequent observation to show wheth
er such suggestions were well founded -

Berne, 10y comparison Of observations ex-
tending over the sixty years just passed,

Sir VIM. UerscheIl, that the year in which
the spots are more numerous are also DRYER
and more fertile than others; the latter, or
those with fewer spots, being more moist
and stormy" lie also finds the period of
this meteorological influence to be about
eleven years, and that earthquakes and
.auroral phenomena occur with peculiar
intensity in the same period-earthqaake
auroral displays, fertile seasons, and solar
spots being grouped together. According
TO these developments we may hereafter
be able to predict the state of the weather
