THE spirited discussion on 'the ma
ture and origin Of the solar spots,
which has been in progress for several
weeks in the Paris Academy, seems f.
nalIy to have come to an end. OF the
general character of this discussion, our
readers have already been informed, but |
as the existence OF these spots, their
periodic returns, and the electrical and |
atmospheric phenomena known to &C
company them, give to the question of |
their origin practical as well as scien-
tifc bearing, We present a brief resume |
of the discussion: Father Geechi first !
presents his views in a letter, IN which
he was understood to advance the theory
that these spots were simply solar erup-
tions, akin to volcanic eruptions on our
own planet. AS opposed to this view,
NJ. Faye, late president of the Acad-
| envy, presents an able and exhaustive
argument in favor of the theory that
the spots were the down-rushes caused
/ by cyclones. With regard to the asser-
| ton of Father Seechi's that the gyrato-
ry motion of solar cyclones must be
small, he proved that it must be at
least five times that of the most violent
terrestrial cyclones. NJ. Faye also
/ quoted from Mr. Norman Loclzyer IN
opposition to the theory of solar erup-
tions. In so able and convincing a man
ner were these views advanced, that the
learned father is forced to explain that
he did not say that the spots were erup-
tions, but that they were produced by
eruptions, being, in fact, the erupted
matter cooled by its passage above the
chrOmOsphere, the faCIIl8 being the
centres of eruption. This opinion NJ.
Faye chooses to regard, not as an ex-
PLANTATION, but as g Father Seechi's new
hypothesis" and showed that it vas
also incompatible with the observed
facts, the spots being surrounded with
facul@; whereas, according to Seechi's
last theory, they ought to surround
facul@ From the rather meagre re-
ports of these opposing views, which
are before US, it would appear that the
italian astronomer has been fairly van
quished, and that the theory of cyclones
as advanced and defended by NJ. Faye,
is entitled to acceptance as most fully
in accord with the observed facts.
In late lecture on the chemistry of
coal, Professor William H Chandler,
of the Lehigh University, illustrates
England's gain in motive power by coal
as follows: The power developed in
the combustion of a pound of coal is
reckoned by engineers as about the
same as that exerted by man of ordi-
nary strength during a day of labor, SO
that 800 pounds of coal Will represent
the labor of a man for year. It has
been estimated that 10000, 600 tons Of
the annual coal product of Great Brit
ain is devoted to the development Of
motive power, and that this is equiva
lent to the labor of 133, 900, 900 of men,
: These men, in this calculation, are con
sidered as exerting merely "brutt
force, bnt since they may all be re
garded as producers only and not con
r sumers-the profits on the balance O.
her coa1-product fully covering all ex
penses-we are safe in estimating the
, contribution made to the wealth o
Great Britain, by her annual coal-pro
, duct, as equal to 1873, 600, 600 of skilled
operatives laboring for her enrichment
