does hit US, of what Is it composed, SO
that we shall know what kind of a
reception to give it? Was this world
OF ours formed by a similar explosion?
FROM the mass of arguments regard
ing the important questions referred
to, we take the most competent an
sWers and condense them for the bene-
MT OF our readers into the following
interesting explanations of just what
the sun spots mean to us:
That this earth was formed by such
an explosion as that which has created
the sun spots seems to be the generally
accepted view among scientists. Mil
lions OF years ago, they tell US, the
earth was thrown off by the sun in one
OF her periodic commissions and sent
to find a place for itself among the
other planets that form the solar sys-
tenn. From mere shapeless mass the
earth took form on it's journey through
space and, hating in the place 1t found

the shell born Of the sun came in its
turn to give birth to the life that covers

born, say the scientists, the sun con-
tinued to give birth to planets until
the time when the orb became sterile
and the planet bearing stage of it's
existence passed. The explosions that
make sun spots no longer make planets
so that those who are fearful that the
present outlines on the sun mean
calamity to the earth may breathe free
ly again. AT it's best the sun is i'm
potent to send down to us anything
more formidable than a meteorite, such
for instance as the one that descended
IN the Arctic regions and was found
by explorer Peary
Of what then is the mass COMPOSED
that has just been shot off by the sun?
or vapor 1t is probable that the mass
is considerably larger than this earth,
but 1t is only harmless gas, composed
for some parts of solids, say of iron.
but whether of solids or liquids, of ma

this earth. But supposing this cloud
Of vaporized metal were to be project
ed earthward by some means, would it
not be cooled on it's journey and strike
us in solidified form? Yes, but it would
contract so much on the trip that in
stead Of a metal world striking us and
SCATTERING us to fragments the mass
that actually falls would only be a
harmless little meteorite, big enough to
smash anything that it fell on, and to
bury itself deep in the earth by the
velocity of its fall, but not enough to
do any more damage than that.

and on fine days men can be seen
studying them through smoked glass,
trying to make out the darkened out

imperfect human eye. Once more the
camera shows its superiority over
mans senses by enabling the photog-

the sun spots that are the cause of
so much excitement. With this article

What is a sun spot? What do the
presence Of these shadows on the suns
surface portend to the people on this
planet? Should we fear them, or
should we regard them merely as
harmless solar phenomena? These are
