Sunspots and Auroras.

There is now on the surface of the sun an un-
usually large spot-the largest, says Prof. Kee-
Ter, of the Allegheny Observatory, which has sp-
peared for many years, and which, apart from
its enormous size, possesses peculiar interest
from the coincidence of its appearance with the
brilliant auroral display of last Sunday evening.
This spot, which has just reached the centre of
the suns disc, may be seen with the naked eye
Mt sunrise sunset, when the light is sufficient
| ly diminished by its passage through great
depth of atmosphere, or at any time of day
through dark glass. 1t may also be seen in
the image of the sun formed when his rays are
allowed TO pass through pin-hole and fall upon
a sheet of paper ut a considerable distance, and
has in fact, been frequently noticed in the ina
ges formed by accidental apertures in the win
dow curtains, etc. Its appearance, rs projected
from the eyepiece of the great equatorial at Al
legheny upon screen, is that of gigantic
whirlpool in the brilliant envelope of the sun.
Long flaments of light project into it, curving
with spiral motion toward a central vortex,
which appears black in contrast with the daz-
cling brightness of the surrounding surface.
Numerous smaller spots surround the principal
one, and several smaller groups appear ON other
parts of the disc. The area of the large spot
determined from measurement of the image, is
in round numbers thousand million square
miles.
Although the connection between the sun
spots and the various phenomena Of the aurora
is one of the most occult and mysterious in ma
ture, that such a connection does exist, has been
confirmed by too many observations, to justify
Us in considering the tremendous disturbance in
the activities of the sun indicated by the APP
pearanee of this spot, and the magnetic storm of
the morning of the 18th, as merely chance coin
cidences. Nearly every exceptionally brilliant
aurora which has appeared has followed some
such outburst of solar energy. Both have prob
ably their origin in the same hidden cause,
which remains one Of natures deepest myster-
