According 10 Sir Isaac Ne"ton's law, action
and reaction are always equal and opposite,
and hence 1t follows that II Inc sun acts
mechanically and chemically upon the earth's
surface and upon all the other planets md
entellites In the solar system, they must so
react again upon the sun. Thus, while only
that one-haH Of each planet which Is oppo-
site to the sun would be clothed with dame,
the whole surface of the sun would DC cnvcl-
oped, In consequence Of being surrounded by
planets, just rs We know It to be- and As
the sun md planets are all In motion, and
the planetary tides Of Jtdme, more than SO in
number, md varying In intensity and size,
arc also in motion oyer the sun's surface, the
fixed mountainous districts or the sun must
moving tides, and at other times such noun
tasnous districts must be situated in the ral-
1cys Of flame, with the high tides surrounding
them. UDdcr these circumstances, the SUMS
surface would present those variations In the
quantity Of flame-light and sbade-~hich
arc seen and described by astronnmcrs as
"epots on the solar disc" and which have
been a great puzzle TO philosophers II
