FACTS CONCERNING AT
MOSPHERE OF THE SUN

We shall consider a little later the
nature of sun-spots, but for the pres
ent we may regard them simply as
solar storms. When spots are numer-
GUS the entire sun is disturbed, and
eruptive phenomena, far transcending
our most violent volcanic outburst,
are frequently visible. In the atmos-
phere of the sun, gaseous prominenees
rise to great heights. This one, reach
ing an elevation of $4,000 miles, is of
the quiescent type, which changes
gradually in torn and is abundantly
found at all phases of the suns ae
tivity. But such eruptions as the one
of March %. 1895, photographed with
the spectre -heliograph of the Ken
wood observatory, are clearly of an
explosive nature. As these photo
praphs show, it shot upwards thrugh
distance of 100000 miles in "a min
utes, after which it faded away. When
great and rapidly changing spots,
usually accompanied by eruptive
prominence, are observed on the sun.
brilliant displays of the aurora and
violent magnetic storms are often re-
ported. The magnetic needle, which
would record a smooth straight line
on the Photographic film if it were at
rest, trembles and vibrates, drawing
broken and irregular curve. Stimuli
taneously, the aurora flashes and pull
safes, sometimes lighting up the nor
thern sky with the most brilliant dis
play of red and green discharges

THE GREEN FRUIT
LAW HOLDS GOOD
STATE Supreme Court Susfains the
Sfafufe-IS Constitutional

Florida's Supreme Court up
holds the antl-green fruit law
placed on the statute books by the
Legislature of 1911.
The purpose of the law is to pre-
vent the shipment of unripe or inn
mature citrus fruit out of the State.
Such shipments by growers anx-
ious to get the early market prices
have in former years demoralized
the market because the fruit was
unfit to eat. Some of the ship
pers violated the law and when
arrested made a test case, carry
ing it to the highest State court
and contending the law was un-
constitutional. The case upon
the decision was rendered has been
known as the Sigh case and went
up from the Orange county court.
The law has been upheld from
the first by the Florida Git us Ex-
