Beginning Friday night wire chiefs
reported that this natural phenomenon
had injected extra voltage into their
wires causing what are known as
earth currents" and interrupting
traffic. The same conditions continued
throughout the day Saturday and be-
came increasingly intense Saturday
night, causing one of the severest dis
turbances of its kind known in 80
years.
Ocean Cables Affected
For more than an hour before mid
night Saturday nearly every telegraph
wire leading from New York was out
of commission. Ocean cables also were
slightly affected. .Curiously, however.
the disturbance that tied up the land
wires seemed to strengthen the sig
mails of wireless apparatus, which were
unusually clear during the period Of
heaviest land wire disturbance. The
intensity of the disturbance was less
ened Sunday although continuation of
the sun spot, which was reported Wis
ible through smoked glasses, led wire
chiefs to believe that further trouble
might be expected.

CAUSED BY SUN SPOTS

Washington, May 15.-Interruption
of telegraphic communication by elec-
trical Influences, if due to the pres
ence of spots on the sun, will pass
away within 48 hours, in the belief
Of naval observatory officials.
$4,000 Miles In Length.
The present spot or group of spots,
estimated by naval observatory offic-
ial at $4,000 miles in length and d.
600 miles in latitude. was nearest the
earth last night and today through ro-
tation of the sun was moving away.
These officials said that leaving out
of consideration the decreasing effect
of the spots on electrical currents on
the earth through the usual breaking
up OF the spots. the regular rotation
of the sun would soon carry the spots
so far from the earth as to make their
influence negligible.
Theory Generally Accepted.
The theory that the aurora borealis
result from sun spots was advanced
by DR. j. A. Brashear. late Pitts
burgh astronomer. The theory has new
er been definitely accepted, naval OBJ
servatory officials asserted. but the
fact that spots on the sun usually are
accompanied by electrical disturbanc-
cs has resulted in almost general ac
ceptance of the theory.
Visible to Naked Eye.
The spots now present on the sun
and which were visible to the naked
eye Sunday with smoked glasses, were
first photographed at the naval obser-
vatory, last Monday. The spots then,
according to DR.. g. H. Peters, were
about one and half to two days old.
The following day the photographs
showed the spots to be much agitated,
the gaseous vapors of which they are
composed resembling a cyclone storm,
DR.. Peters said Saturdays photo
graph, taken about noon, showed the
spots to be near the solar meridian.
Naval observatory officials said
presence of such large group Of
spots at this time was most unusual.
