THE connection between the aurora.
sun spots and magnetic disturbances
has never been explained, but many
observations have shown that II def
lnltely exists. The outbreak of cy-
clonic STERN on the sun with the for
nation OF spots is Immediately regis
tered In every magnetic observatory
On the earth. Sometimes the disturb
ance Of terrestrial conditions Is very
marked.
For example, on Feb. 13, 1892,
great spot. accompanied by enormous
cyclonie disturbances. burst forth on
the suns surface. That night a mag
aiflcent aurora was visible all over the
northern half Of the United States and
In many parts of Europe. Telegraph
Ing was carried on between New YORK
and Albany without batteries. SO strong
were the earth currents. The teie-
graph system OF Sweden was COM
pletely paralyzed, and In Russia much
difficulty was experienced with the tel
eeraph lines. At the Kew observatory
In England the magnetic needle swung
two degrees out of its normal position.
All this has furnished physicists and
astronomers a fruitful field for study.
and a vast mass of observations has
been accumulated. but so far no salts
factory explanation of the mysterious
bond of sympathy between solar and
terrestrial Influences has been forth
coming. nor does any one yet know the
true nature OF the aurora.

the burning of the manuscript of Car

other minor distractions of life, bore
this supreme trial with the heroism he
