SEEN THE SUN SPOTSi
All You Need Is n Naked Eye and an ordi-
nary smoked Glass.
Now York Slu.l

The astonishing large group Of spots on
the sun has been the tall of many astron-
omers for several days. Some of them
think It the big sun spot of wear ago
broken up and distributed. IL disappear
ed from view when the earth passed 10 the
other side of the orb. and would be- due IN
the field of vision about this time.
The moro general opinion among the
local astronomers. however. Is that the big
group Of spots signifies new CONFUSION
in the sun, and that changes of extraordi-
nary magnitude are III progress there.
Never before have sun spots appeared so
suddenly and upon a scale so gigantic
They will change from day TO day, and
the future. II is thought. may have in store
phenomena of transcendent interest.
When the sun was recently under obser-
vatIon during its period OF total eclipse
nothing was seen of the spots. The CO
roma. as observed by Professor Schaeberle
in South America, showed by play OF us
rose colored flames that the gaseous en-
velope was undergoing extraordinary
changes, and that commissions of some
kind were IN progress OF approaching.
