Since the sun is but one of the stars
of the universe, it is probable that
some, If not all, of the stars are also
magnets. Some believe that all ro-
tating heavenly bodies are magnets
end there are very few, if any, bodies
| in the heavens that are not in rota-
ton.
1t is quite certain that the planets
are magnets. Our own planet is, we
| know, a magnetized sphere, but Its
magnetic poles do not coincide even
approximately, with its poles of ro-
! tation Neither do they lie at the
| opposite extremities of a line pass
| ing through the earth's center.
Studies of spectrograms, or photo~
graphs of the spectrum of the corona,
indicate, DR.. Campbell states, that the
I solar corona consists of minute par
ticles of matter about equal in
diameter to a wave-length of light,
which is. on the average, one-f1fty-
! thousandth of an inch. These par
ticles are probably expelled from the
\ sun Dy radlatlon pressure, ne says ih
| the same manner that particles are
expelled from the heads of comets to
form the tails when they come close
to the sun. The beautiful, ethereal
light of the corona, which is such q
striking feature at total solar eclipse
| Is due partly to the shining of the
particles of the inner corona by light
| of incandescence and partly to the
reflection, diffraction and interfer-
ence of the suns light, produced by
the particles in the outer corona.
4 The peculiar structural form of the
4 corona, which varies with the sun
spot cycle, Is due, probably, to the
! fact that the streamers follow the
lines of force OF this mighty magnet,
the sun.

VI roundlngs, particularly the
intricately formed solar CO.
roma whose streamers extend millions
of miles from the sun, have been OBJ
tained by eclipse expeditions TO all
corners of the earth in the past TWEEN
ty years or SO, and a detailed study
of a series of such photographs is
now beginning to bear fruit.
Dr. w. w. Campbell, who headed
the Crocker eclipse expedition to
Wallal, Australia, last year and OBJ
tanned results that agree almost per-
fectly with the prediction of the Elm
stein theory, announced in lecture
before the National Academy of
Sciences that a study of photographs
of a number of past eclipses indicat-
ed that the sun is a huge magnet, with
its magnet axis and its rotation axis
practically in coincidence.
In all photographs of the solar CO.
roma there may be seen short, bushy
streamers in the neighborhood of the
north and south poles of the sun that
separate to the east and west like the
lines of force above the two poles OF
a magnet. Measurements of the posi-
ton of the magnetic axis as indicated
by the separation of these lines
showed that 1t coincided very closely
with the position of the axis of rota-
tion of the sun.
