| MILWAUKEE. April Three new
sun spots were observed last week
through the new telescope of Mar.
quette University. The discovery was
made by Rev. Father McGeary. s. j.,
| professor of astronomy, who noted
an unusual appearance of the sun.
| Upon closer examination he found
three immense spots, two OF them s..
600 miles across, or large enough to
contain the earth.
THE spots are new and appeared
TO be immense cavities in the suns
surface said Father McGeary "The
spots were surrounded by yellow
rings having the appearance of nebu-
lous hglos, and probably were caused
by the transition of sight from the ex-
tteme glare OF the suns brightness TO
the comparative darkness of the i'm
mense cavities. No news of this dis
covery by other astronomers has yet
reached me, although probably shall
read OF 1t in scientific journals print
ed after the spots appeared"
One night last week while following
the transits OF Jupiter satellites,
Father MeGeary observed a peculiar
appearance in the planets cloud belt.
Bad weather for two succeeding
nights prevented further observation,
and on the third night the white loz-
enge-shaped body which attracted his
attention had disappeared.
