Disturbances on Earth.

Pittsburg Feb. 13.-ProfessOr John A. Brasil
ear OF the Allegheny Observatory, has an
nounced discovery of one Of the greatest sun
spots ever found. and says that a result cleo
tricaI disturbances may be experienced through
out the country about tomorrow night. These
disturbances he further declares, may take the
form Of a display of tho Aurora borealis or tele-
graph and telephone communication may be seri-
ously affected. The present spot is so large 1t
can be seen through smoked glass and the scien-
fist adds is one Of the most active Of solar spots
In his statement of the discovery. Professor
Brashear says:
A very large and beautiful sun spot, or solar
disturbance. IS crossing the face or the
sun and Is approaching the central meridian
This is the largest spot that has been seen FOR
several years. and its approximate length Is
1lSO 600 miles and 10000 miles wide, covering an
area Of about 35OOOOO square miles. There is
considerable activity in the spot and there may
be some electrical disturbance on the earth about
tomorrow night but this Is rather difficult TO
predict on account OF the position of the dis
turbance in relation TO the earth.
Besides this great group of spots. there are
three other groups TO the west of II, and a
fourth is just leaving the sun on the eastern
side This great spot can be readily seen by the
naked eye with a piece of smoked glass. Indeed.
my attention was called 10 II by gentleman
who saw 1t through the morning fog.
We have been observing the spot with great
interest all day. measuring II and estimating its
size II is a great spot, stretching an eighth

AT LEAST l4O LOST.
LIST NAY STILL GROW.
SeUenty-t7co Recovered from Larch-
mOnt-Plans for Investigation.

Providence. Feb 13--The sinking OF the Joy
Line steamer LarchmOnt off Watch Hill on Mon
day night lost 40 lives. far as can be learned
tonight but il is believed the final total will be
larger. and may reach $50 Seventy-four bodies
have been found of which ffty-twO were
brought here from Block Island to-day by the
Kentucky. and twenty-five have been taken
there since the steamer left the island. OF these
bodies twenty-one have been identified The
list Of missing has reached 100, and as it is not
believed that any of these viii be rescued. the
total of known dead is 40.
One of the survivors, Fred HergeselI, eighteen
years old, of Brooklyn, said that the captains
boat the first TO leave the steamer. and that
men board crowded the women from the
boats. He also said that there were no oars in
the boat he was in His statement was not con-
frmed by any one. and was contradicted by
many.
President Dunbaugh of the Joy Line issued q
statement tonight in defence of his officers and
crew, In which he said:
The schooner was responsible for the collision.
The officers and crew Of the LarchmOnt are not
TO blame In any way. In view OF the horrible
condition which prevailed Immediately after the
accident, l satisfied that the men did all IN
their power to meet the situation as COnsclen-
investigation that the schooner luffed right into
the LarChmOnt and caused the accident which
resulted in such great loss of life Ihe Iac5
that the steamer sank SO soon after the crash
and the fact that many were unable to reach
the boats even after they We're put out, are. 10 my
mind, sufficient proof that the crew acted bravely
and did all in its power 10 aid the passengers
