It is natural to presume, for instance,
that had there been any molten mass ready
beneath Mt Katmai, Alaska, it also would
have erupted when the present sun volcano
erupted. The matter is emphasized by the
appearance of the second sun spot which
has caused the eruption of Shishaldin Peak
in the Aleutian Islands, and Mt. Pavloff
in Alaska mainland.
That sun spots and volcano eruptions are
simultaneous has been worked out by E.
Kluge, Joseph O'Reilly, Charles Zenger, H.
l. Jensen and others. Among the coinCi-
dences were the great sun spot outbursts
Of 1883, 1902 and 1912, and the volcanic
eruptions of vast destruction of Krakatoa,
Mt. PeIe and Mt. Katmai, respectively.
Here there was different effect Of the
smaller sun spot. Following the appear.
ance Of this, the country suffered nine 10
eleven days rain Of very destructive force.
Tornadoes beset the country, causing great
damage, and there we're unusual floods.
Obviously, a small sun spot has not only
magnetic force enough to affect volcanoes.
but is able to stir up the air currents of
earth to tornado force.
Charles ]. Kullmer, high authority on
this subject, has given the following ex-
PLANTATION:
"In the belt of the northern United States
and southern Canada, where storms on
the average are most numerous, the num-
Der Of storms varies almost directly in
harmony with the number Of sun spots,
just as is the case with tropical hurri
canes. In other areas, however, just the
reverse seems true, and there is a de-
crease of storminess. The general con-
ClusiOn seems to be that, when sun spots
are few in number, cyclonic storms move
in a great variety Of tracks, but when the
spots are numerous the storms tend to
confine themselves to a few we'll de-
fined tracks, so that storminess is more
or less restricted to certain areas within
which is it is highly concentrated"
The latest explanation Of sun spots is
given by Dr. Harold jacob, Of the chair
of astronomy of Columbia University, in
his new work, Popular Handbook Of As
trOnomy," as follows:
The size of sun spots Is determined
by measuring their angular diameters,
and then computing their linear dimen-
sions from our knowledge Of the suns
distance. Our knowledge of the cause
Of them is less certain. They are to be

extend 100000 miles into space) we mere
ly know to be an incandescent gas. The
form of the streamers indicates that the
phenomenon may be electric or magnetic.
The solar sun spots seem to cross the solar
disc from east to west. One Of them makes
a complete rotation, disappearing at the
western, and later reappearing at the east
ern edge Of the sun in a true corrected
axial period Of twenty-five and one-half
days"
The temperature of the sun is given
as ranging from 5000 to 1000 degrees
Centigrade. This gives some index Of the
power required to thrust its heat ninety
three million miles through ACE TO the
earth and prevent our roasting or freeZ-
ing. Professor H. Helm Clayton, Of the
Argentine Meteorological Service at
BuenOs Aires, has issued a paper through
the Smithsonian Institution on the varia-
tiOns of solar radiation. Naturally, he
finds that the suns heat hits strongest 81
our equator. He says:
THE most probable explanation is that
tropical areas, and especially tropical
land areas, are the parts most heated by
the increase Of solar radiation. This heat
ing causes an expansion OF air over the

found that every eleven years there is a
period of extra great spot frequency. These
periods correspond with our eleven year
periods Of magnetic storms and disturb
ances and displays of aurora borealis. The
intimate relation of magnetic disturbances
by earth and sun has not yet been ex-
planned The suns linear diameter is 9OO'-
900 miles, or 10 times as long as that OF
the earth It's mass is about 100000 times
that of the earth's mass. It's gravity is
such that a pound weight from the earth
would weigh twenty-eight pounds on the
sun Its volume is 100000 times that of
the earths volume. II a cubic foot Of the
SUMS material were brought to earth, 1t
would weigh only about one and one-halt
times as mach as a cubic foot of water.
Beyond the photosphere and the revers-
ing layer of gases is the chrOmosphere, or
color sphere, composed principally of great
flaming masses of red hydrogen vapOr.
Sometimes great red jets burst outward to
immense elevations from the solar surface.
These are called prOminences, which inter
mingle at their boundaries and melt into
each other without sudden interruptions.

regarded probably as solar atmospheric
disturbances, or storms. In that case we
should expect them to shift their positions
on the suns surface, much as storm cen
tres move across the earth. And we find
by observation that all sun spots do have
a common drift; that those near the solar
equator drift toward it, and that those far
from the solar equator drift toward the
poles.
This might be analogous to our phe-
nomena of the trade winds, especially rs
spots never occur near the solar poles pr

For example, in the central United
