length, but owing to the absence of Mr..

EARTHQUAKE SPOTS
 SEEN ON THE SUN.

scientific discovery of great value for the history of the past few months is a suc- cession of just such disturbances as were predicted by the Prague scientist, and 1t is not surprising that students, remem- bering this. should ask themselves if it is not possible that he may have been more nearly correct in his theory than they were willing to give him credit for being.
 Up to the present time 1t has not been an easy matter to foretell the time and places in which cyclones or earthquakes will manifest themselves Of course it some times has been possible to make predic- tions based on such data as the variations shown by the barometer and the ther- mometer, the indications of the hygrome- ter and the electrical conditions are far from accurate What makes the matter more difficult is that such disturbances are due to variety of causes for many of which the science of meteerology, which is still in it's infancy, makes no account. If M. Zenger is correct in his theory how ever, the problem will soon be solved and the scientists will be able to foretell cy- clones, earthquakes and volcanic eruptons by the use of no other instrument than the telescope.
 M. Zengers reputation as a deep student and a careful man should have entitled his theory to more attention than it has heretofore received. As the director of the observatory at Prague and memDer or many of the learned societies of Europe he had too little to gain and too much to lose to invent theories that had no foundation in fact. Now that his predictions have been realized his fellow scientists are be- ginning to feel that he is worthy their praise instead of their ridicule.
 Ever since the announcement of his dis covery M. Zenger has held that 1t was based upon the most firm of scientific prin- ciples. The fact had gradually forced itself upon his mind that there was some con- nection between solar activity and atmos- pheric and terrestial disturbances, and it was not long before he discovered that the appearaflce of circular concentrie spots on the surface of the sun certainly preceded those most to be feared disturbances or nature.
 Until M. Zenger announced his discov- cry it has always been held that the sun spots were indications of some disturb ance in the sun itself and scientists were too thoroughly welded to this theory to consider It as possible that they might DOT tend trouble for Now they are prepar- ed to give the matter careful thought and
The age-herald., 1899-08-27

Do sun spots foreteH earthquakes and cyclones. or is it only remarkable coinei- dence that this astronomical phenomena should have so closely preceded the dis turbances of nature for which the year 1899 has been conspicuous? This is a question that is claiming the attention of the scien- tifc world and Is not improbable that the problem may yet be solved That such a theory had never been propounded up to a few short months ago makes the subject one of the utmost importance.
 It was some time ago that astronomers discovered that large freckle-lke spots were beginning to appear on the face of the sun. They were not small spotsseither but large enough to be seen with great dis tinctness by the use of even an ordinary telescope. From measurements that were made during the early part of August 1t was found that the large black spot in the center of the sun was about 5000 miles in diameter and this was surrounded by penumbra about COCO miles across. At some distance from the outer edge of the penumbra were other large spots which had evidently been broken off from the central spot. At one time these were seen to number nineteen in all, ranging in di- ameter from 5000 to 1O00 miles. The een- tral spot. which was the most interesting one of all, at times took the shape of Q balloon and at other times it appeared if it's edge was extremely ragged.
 While these measurements were made but a few weeks ago the spots have been seen for several months and have been examined with the greatest of interest by Astronomers the general excitement in the matter being due to the fact that this is a most unusual time for such spots to appear. According to all astronomical reckoning of 1899 was supposed to fall within the minimum period of sun spot activity, and yet. in spite of this fact the spots have been seen more distinctly than on many occasions when their ap- pearance has been anticipated.
 How to account for this has been ques- tion that has troubled scientists not a It. tle and it was at this time that M. Zenger of Prague presented his theory to the world These sun spots. according to his opinion, portends most unusual occurrences in the way of earthquakes, volcanic erup- tions, tornadoes, etc. While the scientific world read his predictions they laughed at them insisting that 1t was the height of folly to ascribe any such meaning to the phenomena.
 In the light of recent events this theory seems less like superstition than like
The age-herald., 1899-08-27

such knowledge is almost incaloulable.
 Outside of any possible influence that they may have over the earth these enor- nous black spots themselves are of suffi- cient interest to make an attractive study for the astronomer. Each of these spots are in reality an enormous hole into many of which our own earth could be tossed without even touching the sides. Around these holes are great whirlpools of fire thousands of miles in height and undoubt- edly of beautiful roseate color, the great cavities seeming blacker than ever in contrast to the intense brightness around them. According to Professor Prentiss these spots are undoubtedly from 2,000 to 250OO miles in depth which means that seven earths could be dropped into one of them without filling it.
 Another interesting feature about these spots relates to their progressive motion from day to day across the suns disk, for this motion serves to make known the rotation of the sun on its axis, as it is caused by it. The earth, as is well known, turns upon its axis once in every twenty four hours, but the observation of sun spots through many years makes it evil dent that the sun turns on its axis once in every 271a days. The spots being de- pressions in the suns surface are carried around upon its revolving globe and ap- pear to us to move across the face from east to west,
