The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1878-08-29

Mr.. Norman Lockyer interprets
the evidence very differently. He
says: 1.-THE present eclipse has ac-
complished, if nothing else, the ex-
cellent result Of intensifying our
knowledge concerning the running
down of the solar energy. With the
reduction of the number of spots or
prOminences for the last four years.
the terrestrial magnetism has been
less energetic than it has been for the
preceding forty years. This would
evidently account for it, as well as for
the great famines in India and China
which took place forty-four years ago.
The sun is the great prime mover OF
earth. Every cloud, every tide, every
air current depends upon it. Its
present quiet condition indicates
great heat on earth. When in a
state of activity the sun throws out an
atmos phere which serves as q shield
to the earth, protecting it fro m abb
normal influences of the sun. The
absence of the green lines shows a
great reduction in the temperature of
the sun. and such marked change
in the sun should produce cOrrespOn-
ding change on the earth. A con-
ti;,uation of this change of the suns
condition must inevitably be followed
by serious results and radical climatic
variations.
President Morton says that the
marked change in the suns condition
would seem to call for corresponding
marked changes in the condition of
the earth, and it is a surprise that no
such changes have occurred.
He is of the opinion however, that
the suns heat is maintained by the
impact of meteoric matter, which is
known to vary largely in constitution.
and it is possible that the suns fires
may be led at times with purely
mineral matter, and again for consider
able periods with meteorites highly
charged with hydrogen. giving the
sun far-reaching atmosphere Of the
ignited gas. eff such changes go on
indefinitely it may not be irrational to
inquire whether they may not in
future produce such extraordinary
climatic conditions in the earth as
geology teachesu us have existed in the
ages OF the past, or, in other words,
the polar regions become tropical, as
the fossil remains of animals and plants
found there indicate they have BEEN.
Mr.. Cowper Ranward, while recog-
nizing the marked changes in the
suns atmosphere, does not anticipate
any great effect from them OH that of
the earth. Prof. Young agrees with
Dr.. Draper and the rest in thinking
that Mr.. Lockyer eXaggerates the
effect If coronil changes upon the
earth's climate. 80 apparently does
Prof. Newcomb. vino does not expect
from the results obtained any upset
ting of well-founded current theories
or the establishing Of any. strongly
based new ones.

CLIMATIC DIFFERENCES.

There is "A wonderful difference be.
tween our climate and that OF Eng
land. Nothing is done in a hurry
across the ocean-even Nature works
more slowly than with us. When
spring approaches, the trees begin to
bud early, but their advancement is
very slow. and though the new leaves
give the trees Il faint color Of green,
even in March. it is fully as late rs in
our own climate before they are in
full leaf. This slow growth of yege-
tation is one of the remarkable cir
cumstances connected with this pecu-
liar climate. Wheat looks green and
thrifty in March, and in the early
part IT July still shows no signs of

POETRY
THE THREE C0FFINs.

Three collins await their final repose
In the ancient cloisters keeping,
And brief hour hence the lids will close
On the forms beneath them sleeping.
The first is King who hath ruled the land,
As his fathers did before him;
A ieweled sceptre is placed in his hand
To show how well he bore him.
The next is Chief from the battle field,
Wounded and bronzed and hoary;
By his side are resting his sword and shield,
The emblems of martial glory.
The third is a lovely Son of Song,
With no state pomp attended;
The lay of his Tyre hath sounded long
Through the asles-but now is ended.
Hank what is that at the postern gate
Like the roar Of distant water?
IT'S the foe, with bounding hopes elate,
Returned to the work of slaughter
"Ho! King, awake! reascend thy throne,
And round thee summon thy sages!"
From the pale, mute lips there is answer
none;
EWhile the storm without st6l RACES.
"Ho! Chief, awake to the tents repair
In the van lead on thy legions!'
They listen but all is silent there,
Still and hushed as the Polar regions.
From the Poets coffin sigh is heard,
And the Tyre at his bare feet laying:
Starts into life, like the thrill of a bird
Whose melody knows no staying.
IT'S an old, old theme, but it fires the blood
OF the troops with none to lead 'em,
And they fight, as the valiant always should,
For the love of their faith and freedom
When the sun goes down in a radiant glow
With motion clouds attendant,
The three nailed collins are now laid low,
The Cross is in the ascendant.

volcanic eruptiOnS has undoubtedly
been on the increase, and it this con-
tinues the thOusaEdth anniversary OF
the destruction of Herculsneum and
Pompeii, which will occur next year,
will be celebrated in an appropriate,
if an undesirable, manner, by the
forces Of nature itself. This activity
|has developed itself since June, 1877.
In the whole Of 1877 there occurred,
according to the compilations of Pro-
lessor Fuchs. 100 recorded earth
quakes. though from our own observ-
ations we believe the number to have
been somewhat larger. In the three
months of June. July, and August
there were only IL earthquakes;
while "a occurred in September, Oct0-
Der, and November, and the rest in
the. previous six months back to De-
cember l. 1876. As usual, the most
violent of these phenomena were
those occurring in South America
The damage done to Iqulvue, Valpa-
raise, Lima, and other cities by the
outbreak Of May g., 1877, was enor-
nous, the vibrations recurring with
startling rapidity, and lasting over
several days. "A fewdays later sub
marine volcanic eruption occurred off
the coast of Peru, which also did
great damage to shipping. The eff
fects of these disturbances were felt
in all parts of the Pacific. During
the year, several minor earthquakes,
though of unusual intensity for the
part of the world in which they were
felt, occurred in Europe. Those of
April 4, May 2, and October in
Switzerland, and of November and
/ and December % at Lisbon, were
the most alarming. Fortunately, lit
| tie or no serious damage was done.
The volcanoes Of Europe were unu-
snlly inactive during the year, but in
South America. in Japan. and in the
Pacific generally. the year was mark
ed by several very violent volcanic
explosions. The frequency with
which outbreaks of this nature were
observed in the open sea was pecu-
liarity Of the year. Thus in Februa-

many years. Much more serious was
the eruption Of Mount Co.opaNi in
June, accompanied by terrible show
ers of ashes. dust. and mud. which
were carried by the wind far and
wide over the country, devastating
the fair lands and destroying hun
dreds of lives. The insular volcano
of Oseima, in Japan, broke out in
flames and burning lava on January
4, and continued in violent action till
the first week in February, causing,
in combination with the earthquakes
which accompanied it.. a disastrous
loss of life.
As already hintel. however. we be-
l:eve that the current twelve months
vii, unless sudden cessation of ac-
tivity occurs, prove to be even more
prolific of such events than any of its
recent predecessors

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF THE ECLIPSE
OBSERVATIONS.

It is Of course TOO early to expect
any strictly scientific or conclusive
estimate of the bearing Of the eclipse
observations on current solar theories
there having been no opportunity for
a critical study and comparison Of the
photographs and other records OBJ
tanned. Yet the impressions made
upon the observing astronomer by
the more striking phenomena are not
without interest. How far the dis
similarity Of the results from those
obtained at previous eclipses is to be
attributed to the markedly quiescent
condition of the suns atmosphere at
this time, how far to the circumstance
that most of the observations were
made through the thin clear air of
high Rocky Mountain regions, and
how far to hitherto unsupported
changes going on in the sun. remain
for solar experiments and future OBJ
servaticns to determine.
As regards the constitution Of the
corona, the results. DIR. Draper says.

the absense of great eruptions on the

sequently the luminous gases former

the corona. His spectrum photo
graphs showed that the light Of the
corona was derived solely by refec-
| ton from the sun. Prof. Barker s
Analysing spectroscope bore the same
testimony, as likewise did Prof.
Morton's observations with the
polariscope.
Touching the effect of the varying
constitution of the corona. DIR. Draper
said to the Herald correspondent:
1T is rather singular while the sun
has been nsuch quiescent condition
for more than two years that we have
not seen more changes in the climate
Of the earth. This would seem TO
show that the abnormal condition OF
the sun at the maximum period OF
sun spots, which occurs every eleven
years, counts for but little against the
total amount Of heat that is sent out
from the sun 1T all times. The present
observations 20 to show that the &C.
tivity or quiescence Of the sun makes
no perceptible difference in the earth1
condition Of either climate Or crops.
