By PROF. ALBERT +. PORTA
Noted Cunenot Ccienfsef

Sunspots are produced by the con-
functions and the oppositions Of two
or more planets. When one Of these
celestial phenomena occurs, lines Of
electric-magnetic energy are instanian-
eously generated between the planets
and the sun. so that the points in which
these electro-magnetlc lines intersect
the solar photosphere are the centers
OF some solar disturbance, which we
call sunspots or faculae.
The eminent Prof. George +. Hale,
director Of the Mt Wilson Observatory,
Pasadena. Cal in 1909, by means OF
mighty photographs OF tire suns phot-
Oscope. demonstrated, beyond any
doubt, that sunspots are gigantic cy-
clones, or vast whirlpOols Of electrical
particles, their certers or cores being
fields OF intense magnetic energies
And these cores" may be considered
to be similar to the iron cores OF
our electro-magnets, with the only dlf-
ference that the electrical currents gen
Grated by them do not run on wires
they are wireless
Prof. Garret p. Serviss. afterwards
stated that a sunspot is like an enOr-
nous electric dynamo whose tremend-
Gus whirls generate a powerful mag
netic field. Just as the whirlns arma-
ture Of a dynamo having the same size
would generate.
Rains. gales. typhoons, whmlwlnds,
earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are
only different manifestations Of a
unique cause. which resides In the
electi O-magnetic energies gushed out
from sunspots when they, turning about
the solar axis, approach, cross or Just
leave certain well defined solar merid-
ians.
For instance, when a sunspot or a
faculato is about 90 cross the eastern
