Sun Spots and Their Eject On the
Earth.

A huge sun spot, comparable in
magnitude with some of the great
spots seen five or six years ago, is
now visible on the solar disk. A
good eye should be able to Gee it
with the aid af a smoked glass. It lie
fully three diameters of the earth
across, and somewhat irregular in
outline. Along the edge of the dark
central chasm the familiar tongue
shaped projections of photospheric
flame can be seen. The whole aspect
OF the spot is such as to remind the
observer that the mysterious com.
motion which affects the surface of
the solar globe, reaching a maxi
mum once in every eleven wears. ia
about to manifest itself again after
several years of comparative repose
1t will be interesting to notice how
much information We shall be able to
gather during the coming sun-spot
period upon the vexed question of
the connection between sun spots
and the weather. The theory that
there is most intimate relation OF
that kind has received enthusiastic
support in some quarters since the
Sun called general attention, nine or
ten years ago, to the grounds upon
which it was based. But the highest
authorities in astronomy and mete-
orology have not yet accepted the
hypothesis as proved, except 90 tar
as the undoubted conlection between
solar disturbances and terrestrial
magnetism is coneerned.-Nsw York
