that II takes twenty five days for the
sun to rcvOlvc and that tho sun spots
would lose their power after the lIn has
turned a sufficient degree away from
the earth for their position relative to
the earth To be altered.
The Rev. Walter 4. Matos, Of
Swarthmore. widely known as an as
tronomcr. explainer the present phe-
nomena rs the results Of n magnetic
storm" The sun spots are really
sun cyclones. according to the astrono-
mcrs, which make their effects felt
electrically on the earth. The aurora
borealis. which means literally north
ern light or northern dawn usu-
ally is seen only in northern latitudes.
Connected With Storm
The presence Of the aurora borcalis
is in some way connected with the pres
ont magnetic Storm said DR.. Matos.
Every eleven years comes n maximum
sun spot period. when more sun spots
are observed than at any other time.
Years Of observation have shown that
at the same period are maximum mum
Der of electrical storms and a maximum
number Of manifestations of the aurora
borealis
There is min,num period of sun
spot intensity as well as maximum,
and during this minimum there are
fewer electrical storms and fewer exhi-
bitionS of the aurora borcaliS than at
any other time.
Mr.. Matos observed the aurora Sat
urday night, and will look for it again
this evening. if the heavens are clear
"The report of static trouble on tho
