No one would ever have suspected that
there was q black spot on the sun yester-
DAY that covered a solar area of over 5000.

tell the truth, aud they usually do. it 10 q
fact. Not only is it true that there was
one spot of that size. but it is also q fact
that there were eleven or twelve others
sS these spots were, they were not
visible TO the naked eye. and only an
different Wow OF them could be obtained
by the use OF smoked glass. Even with
that medium the observer had TO be very
familiar with the suns normal appearance
In order TO distinguish the difference. To
the astronomers who looked at the spectacle
through powerful Telescopes, nothing could
have been grander than were these solar
commissions.
One OF them. Garrett w. Serviss, who
viewed them from the cbserv atory in
Ithaca. says that the largest of the spots
or groups Is IN the Southern hemisphere.
and thinks It is probably the same hat

Its diameter. he says, is about four

of the sun for hundreds of
millions of miles is punctured with in
Vulnerable holes and rigid with mountains
of fire. Enormous masses OF metallic vapor
are constantly being elected from these
holes and lifted to the height of many
thousands of miles. According to Mr.. Ser
viss the en- tire process indicates that some
tremendous forces-are at work rending the
she'll of the solar planet asunder
Some spots such as those now apparent
on the face Of the sun are usually accom-

spot. In this case the spots first made
