tated of late years. for in a work Oh Solar
Heat, Gravitation and Sun Spots" pub
lshed in 1856. may be read. How is it
possible TO doubt that the spots are pre-
duced by the shadows of these and the
other planets projected on the sun ?"
The generally received theory, printed
and explained IN Mondays CALL, is tina:
the sun spots ''are due to the existence Of
masses Of relatively cool and more COM
pressed vapors than the vapors elsewber
existing in the solar atmosphere"
One may note here that the spots used
to be considered rents in the luminous
outer atmosphere (photosphere) OF the sun
and the non-luminous inner atmosphere,
through which was seen the solid body OF
the sun.
Observations on the spots of the sun
have been made by many prominent
astronomers, the most famous being those
Of Schwabe of Dessay, which were spread
oyer thirty years. He noted the recur-
renee of periods, some rich, some poor, in
sun spots, and the progression from one
state TO another. from nlaXima 10 minima,
and came to the conclusion that tho solar
spots increase and diminish in frequency
and size in a period of about 10 years.
Professor Woif Of Zunich. after studying
Schwabe's tables. reached the decision
that the period Of recurrence was about

in 1926 another was noticed at latitude 46o,
while one is said to have been seen in the
last century so far away from the suns
equator as 20 degrees. These spots are
more numerous and OF greater general
SIZE in the northern hemisphere of the sun,
the zone lying between II degrees north
and 10 degrees north being especially
noted for large and enduring ones.
BY the observer, usually, spot will be
first noticed Oh the eastern limb Of the
sun; in a little less than fortnight it will
disappear on the western limb; then after
an interval OF nearly another fortnight
the spot, if still in eXis tence, will reappaar
on the eastern side and in ike manner as
before travel across the suns disk. This
phenomenon can only be accounted for on
The supposition that the sun rota.es on its
own axis, The time of rotation being
usually fixed at about % days hours,
while the period required by the spot 10
make a whole visual rotation IS q days
hours. the variation in the time being
dae to the earth's progressive movement
in its orbit.
almost coincdent with the first use CT
telescopes, and no conclusion has
been arrived at as TO who first noticed
them. The honor is divided between
Calico, Scherner. Fabrlcius and Harriet
The Jesuit Scherner, after continued oh
setvati0n of the spots, came 10 the cOncn-
sion that they were due TO the existence Of
planets travelling round the sun close 10 its
surface, and for awhile these imagined
planets were admitted as true members of
he solar family under the name Of Bor-
bonian stars. Calico pointed cut that the
motion Of the spots did not corr pond to
this hypothesis. and ScherDer, after re-
examina alton, rejected his own hypothesis.
This theory, however, has been resusci-

going work was the recognition of an in
timate connection between the sun SPOT
period and the magErtic condition OF the
earth. Not only was there coincidence
in duration, but the maximum and mini
mum of spot frequency conceded with the
maximum and minimum Of magnetic dis
turbance. The observations of Darlington
and HodgSon in 1859 and Of b. Stewart at
the magnetic observatory at Kew places
this conclusion beyond doubt.
From the observations of De La Rue,
Stewart and Lowry the temporary deter
mInation was reached that the umbra
darkest parD of spot is nearer the sun 8
center than the penumDra, or. in other
words. is at a lower lrvel, shat the solar
facul8 (bright ridges and probably the
whole photosp here of the sun consist OF
solid or liqrid bodies of greater or less
magnitude either slowly sinking or sns-
pended in equilibrium in gaseous me-
dunn, and that a spot. including both
umbra and penumbra. Is phenomenon
which takes place beneath the level Of the
suns photosphere.
What relationship is there between sun
spots and the earth's meteorology? TO
this question the reader. after hearing the
testimony of several distinguished OBJ
servers for long periods, can give his own
answer. A. Elvins. a Canadian astrono-
mer, affirms that "maXima and min!ma sun
spot years are dstingul shed by cloudlness,
by small rainfall and by low temperature. !"
BrOckleshy, an American astronomer.
says that observations prove the deduction
that the rainfall tends TO rise above the
mean when the sun SPOT area is In excess,
and to fall below when there is deficiency
of solar activity" Professor Smyth, an
English observer, says that "a great wave
of heat passes over the earth every eleven
years and a fraction, and nearly conci-
IDENTIFY with the beginning OF the increase
of each SUI spot cycle of the same eleven
year duration"
Professor Stone, Cape of Good Hone.
declares, Il cannot but believe that the
same cause which leads to an excess Of
mean annual temperature leads equally to
a dissipation OF solar spots" and Abbe of
Munich states that There is 4 decrease in
the amount of heat received from the sun
during the prevalence OF the spots"
Whatever conclusion each one may
reach from the above testimony. there is
no doubt of extraordinary condolences OF
time between droughts and sun spots.
The whole OF Europe is now suffering
acutely for lack of rain there is no feed
for cattle. and horses are being sold for
nothing or killed for their hides.
What connection there may be between
the present visitor and the present strin-
gencv of the money market aud the clos
ing of silver mines and the general depres-
sion of business is beyond my power to
show. Professor Wiggn of Canada will,
doubtless, soon enlighten the world.

The comet has hardly left US and 10! an

A FORFEITED BOND.
An Attorney Seeking for the Suretics'

Charles Rankin, charging him with felony

appropriating SOS Is belonging to his &C
cuser while in his empioy. For this
otfvnse Rankin was held to answer by
Judge Rix.
To obtain his temporary release Ira P.
Rankin and George Frederick went before
Superior Judge Trout and qualified as
sureties in the sum OF $1,000 each on young
Rankin's bond. No property was speci-
ned IN the bond. the suretes merely swear
Ing that they were worth the sum of $1,000
each over and above their debts. etc.
Inc case came up for trial in July. 1892,
and the jury disagreed. 1t was reset for
no defendant. A bench warrant proved
useless. as Rankin had fed. So on
June last his bonds were declared for
feted.
Since then Joseph O'Donnell. attorney
for the city for the collection of forfeited
bonds. has been inquring into the prop
erty possessed by the sureties; and.
strange as it may appear, ne property
belonging to Ira 2. Rankin can be found
anywhere.

Columbian Whist Club.

The closing meeting for this winter of the
Columbian Whist club was held at Odd Eel
lows hall Tuesday evening. For this time
cards We're dispensed with and dancing was
the order of the day, or rather night. Taste
fully arranged decorations of flags and bunt-
ing were draped about the room aud a large
portrait of Columbus, their patron saint, oc-
cupied prominent place. Beedle's orches-
ira OF five pieces, from Keene, furnished the
music Tor the 10 dances on the program. Two
OF the numbers were Germans for which
there were very pretty favors. The opening
march was led by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Ell
lott. Refreshments were served in the room
adjoining the hall, consisting of ices, cakes
and salads. The costumes of the lad es were
very fine, and most of the gentlemen were in
full dress. One of the most enjoyable numbers
on the program was chorus waltz, "Molly
and and the baby" which was sung by one
OF the orchestra. While this meeting closes
the series as proposed at the organization of
OF the club last fall, it is proposed to keep up
the organization and have another series Of
meetings next winter.
