The Corona Explained.

The Electrical Review thinks we'll of MT. F. H. Bigelow's theory of the solar corona. Referring to the experiments of a vacuum subjected to magnetic forces, the author concludes that the photo sphere of the sun is the seat of powerful electric discharges, resulting in the ioni- zation of portions of it's material or the freeing of small particles of matter charged with electricity These. be be- lieves, are repelled outward and give the forms uoticed in the streamers of the CO., roma. He concludes that the body ob the sun must be the seat of a powerful mag netic field whose axis nearly coincides result in repulsive action from the polar zones.
