SPOTS ON THE sun.
Prof. Mansi!l's Important ObserYa'
tiOnS..-A Great Spectacle IRE
dicti0n Which Came True.

Did YOU see those spots on the sun
today? One of the grandest spectacles 1
have ever witnessed" said Prof. Manslll,
as he entered a place of business Satur-
day evening"
is this the first day you have observed
spo,s on the sun of late'" inquired the
ever inquisitive news man who was press
cnt.
Not at all; was the reply. But |
have not seen so brilliant sight OF that
nature before.
when did you first notice these
spots?" asked the ARGUS scribe.
well if you've got few minutes to
spare, III tell you what know about it,,
or at least I'll give you an idea of what |
have observed, On February 20 the
spot appeared upon the sun. On March
l. from the first to the second of March
"a group of spots, on its third visible
trip across The sun, appeared. On March
3, u third group became visible on the
east limb Of the sun, and on the same
date, this large group which | have pres
vious.y mentioned, and which is now on
its third trip across the sun, became
shattered. or scaltered-as you may term
Into quite Il number of spots, which
on Yesterday and today had developed
into three large visible spots, while the
mind group on the east limb, which
have described had formed into a groul
Of very large spots-the largest group on
the sun this AS saw them today. The
spot which appeared ON February &c hat
become q group of three spots ON Marcl
3; today it contained four spots. Thi
group will disappear by solo rotation
about Monday
You mention the third trip across th'
sun OF the first large group observed OF
March /, when were the other trip
made
This first large group was about cen
trail the first time January / and IL, ant
was central again in lis second trip, Feb
rutry 9 and II. ~
WHAT is the cause OF these spots. il
your opinion!
My theory is, that the position of lii
planets cause It. | contend that when
ever planet gets into the line of an
other, it interieres with the electric actiol
OF the other. and. inasmuch as the SUI
in my opinion is illuminated BY the plan

sun, the sun Is not 50 clearly Illuminated
It's the opposition of Mars which is de
veloping these spots

Nothing here: but | would not b
surprised if we would hear of volcani
cruplions, earthquakes or other dis
tmbances, today in the old world"
In his latter statement Prof Mansil
seems to have hit it pretty close, as tn
