FACTS ABOUT SUN SPOTS.
They often Break Out and Di. ppcar
Under the Eye Of the
Observer.

That great sun spot that ChiIS goans
were treated TO recently did noI smash
the record for bigncss. even though il
did appear TO do 50 10 those who sloked
at il with naked eyes through Ch4tago's
smoke. says the News. OF that city.
Some astronomers said that the spot
was 80. 900 miles across. and others that
its diameter was 10000 miles. But even
$4,000 miles would not be the record
diameter. For, back in 1S43. when the
Millerites were looking for the end of
the world, there wa a great sun spot
that TO many seemed To lend weight 20
the Millerites arguments from the time
prophecies in the Bible. For a week in
that year there was a sun spot that was
visible TO the naked eye. Il measured
1876 miles across. on the day OF the
eclipse In 1858 a spot 107 900 miles in
extent was clearly seen. These spots
are considered TO be storms in the glow
ing gases that correspond to the atmos-
phere OF this earth. Ii there were ships
on the sur as large as this earth they
would be tossed about like autumn
leaves in an ocean storm.
These solar spots are most abundant
on the two sides OF the suns equator.
where they mark something akin TO a
terrestrial cyclone belt. The center Of
a cyclone is rarched and therefore cold
or. Cold on the sun is darkness. An
astronomer says that these cyclones
carry down into the depths OF the solar
mass the cooler materials OF the upper
layers. formed principally Of hydrogen.
and thus produce in their center q de-
cided extinction Of light and hcat "a
Ions as the gyratory movement lasts.
Finally the hydrogen. set free al the
base Of the whirlpool. becomes reheated
al this great depth aud rises up tumuit-
uously. forming irregular jets. which
appear above the chromosphere.
sun spots often break out or disap-
pear under the eye Of the observer.
They divide like a piece Of ice dropped
on the surface Of a frozen pond. the
pieces sliding of IN every direction. or
they combine like separate foes driven
together into a pack. Sometimes a spot
