HE intermittent period when the jl surface of the sun is but rarely a ified with spots bas at last slowly passed away. A renewal of eolar activity has set In, stupendous formations have invaded the disk, and during the coming years an unspotted photosphere will be a rare spectacle to the telescopic student of solar physics. Ruling the motions of the earth and other planets by the attraction of its enor- mous mase, redeeming them from per- petual gloom with its radiance, the potent orb is neverthless itself dominated by an unknown force so effective and unfailing | in its operations that scientific interest | has been keenly aroused during the last Balf century. ODbservations Gating 1610 established the fact that a large area of the solar surface is profusely spot- strewn for a few consecutive years, condition invariably followed by a grad- ual decrease until weeks may pass with- out a single spot. These alternate condi- tions, known a&s the sunspot maximum and minimum, form a cycie generally lasting about eleven and one-tenth years. Though the extremes are in marked con the boundary between them is no: position. That the surface of a vaporous and in- tensely heated body, more than a million times the size of the earth, should be in a | state of tumultuous disturbance accords with the known laws of heat and gravita- tion; but when it was found that solar tempests announce their presence by a deep-hued stain, show a distinct prefer- ence for certain zonmes of the sun, ob- serve unexplalned laws as to differing tain a fairly punctual period of increase B " FREE TO EVERYONE. | Read and Learn How You May Pro- cure It. The question of why one man succeeds and another fails, is a problem that has puzzled the philosophers for centurles. One man attains riches and position, while his neighbor who started with seemingly the same, and better opportu- nities, exists in poverty and obscurity. No man can win success who is suffering from an irritating and nerve racking dis- ease and the man who has the qualities of success within him, would be quick to recognize this fact and seize the best remedy to eradicate the trouble. A person afflicted with a serious case | of hemorrholds or plles is handicapped | in the race for power and advancement. It is impossible to concentrate the men- tal energies when this dreadful trouble | is sapping the vifal forces. To show how easily this success destroying trouble can be overcome, we publish the following letter from a prominent Indi- ana man: | “When I received the former letter | ana booklet on ‘Piles, their nature, cause | and cure,’ I was in a critical condition; ulcers to the number of seven had formed on the inside of the rectum, cul- minating in a large tumor on the out- glde resembling fistula. I suffered the most excruciating pain, could get no rest day or night. After reading the booklet I sent to my druggist but he happened to be out of Pyramid Pile Cure just at | that time. However, I obtained a part of @ box from my brother-in-law and began their use. Five pyramids com- pletely cured me. I procured a box later, but have had no occasion to use them. I have been waiting to see that the cure was permanent, before writing you of its success. I belleve Pyramid Pile Cure to be the greatest and best pile cure on the market and ask you please accept of my grateful thanks for this invaluable remed{ I take great pleasure in recommending its use to any sufferer along this line. You may use my name if you wish for reference to any one afflicted with this disease” J. O. Littell, Arthur, Ind.

Among many diverse theories the fol- lowing receive the most favorable con- sideration: The dark areas may be the | result of a downpour of passing meteors; | or, in the climax of colliding currents on | the seething surface, vapors may be cast forth, and on descending again in a state of comparative coolness, seem dark byi contrast; or, violent whirlpools may fre- qgeunt these zones most suited for cyclonic formation, and by suction bring- down volumes of cooler matter from above. None of these theories, however, ac- count for the various complexities no- ticeable, while the eleven-year period | seems the most unsolvable of all sun mys- | | teriés. Of late years maxima and minima | have been carefully studied in detall, as only thus can further enlightenment be | obtained, and as every locality is more or 1 ubject to cloudiness, the combined ral telescopists are gener- te for a complete cycle of gb- following th count, based on solar inch Brashear refrac- he chief characteristics of | studies | tor, contains | the period rec | fo ntly completed: | An interruption of some length in the | record, due to a journey to observe tho | eclipse of 19% having occurred during the | sunspot minimum, causes litte material change in the outline. According to a re- cent careful revision of sunspot data pub- hed by Professor A. Walfer of France, | the minimum preceding this just past was | at its extreme stage of unspottedness dur- | | ing the first months of 159, and as a cor- ‘ | responding stage did not occur until the summer of 1902, this solar cycle has been | | unusually prolonged. The last maxtmum | showed its gpproach toward the end of | 1891, continuing the three following vears, | | but though a slight renewal of disturb- | | ance was noticeable since last September, | | it is anly now, twelve years later, that the | | corresponding stage of a returning maxi- | mum is clearly indicated. | EYE CATCHES FACTS. i My recorded observations were com-| menced on the 1st of November, 1891. The | critical period in the career of an average spot being its first invasion of photo- spheric whiteness, one alm of these obser- vations has been to note the number of times that this was seen to have oc- curred. A disfigured area, whether stained by one spot or by many, is classed as one solar storm when the sprinkling does not extend beyond twenty-five degrees of the sun’'s surface, which, being about the limit of the largest spots, gives some clew as to the probable range of a single dis- turbance. This method, though giving a far lower numerical result than if each section of a discoloration were counted, avoids including any spot more than once. From November 1, 1891, to the same date of the present year, 1903, the sun was ob- served and the results recorded on 2982 days, and according to the method of enumeration adopted 811 spotted areas were seen on the disk during that time. Two-thirds of the disturbances appeared within the first five years, the remainder being distributed over the ensuing years with decreasing frequency until Septes ber, 1802, when a slight but distinct in- crease of activity set in. During the maximum and minimum be- tween 1572 and 1890 the spottedness of the surface south of the sun's equator was more than double that of the northern zones, according to Comstock's text book of astronomy, and from November, 1891, to the present date solar storms have also been fewer in the northern hemis- phere, but in the lesser disparity of seven to ten. Owing to misleading perspective effects at certain seasons this estimate was deduced from 567 eruptions distinctly beyond equetorial zones, in which latter accurate measurement of solar latitude is difficult. Of the entire number of spot- ted areas, namely 811, about forty, up- ward of 50,000 miles in length, may be classed as large, while solar tempests which from depth of hue ®ombined with immense extent may be called giant spots stained the white orb to the distinct gaze of the world at large on four notable oc- casions. GIANT SPOTS APPEAR. The first, one of the largest on record, measuring 150,00 miles in length and 75,- 000 in breadth, appeared inside the south- east llmb on the 4th of February, 1892; the second assumed nearly equal dimen- sions when it plowed the central tracts of the southern hemisphere in the beginning of August, 1503; the third, with compaet umbra and enormous penumbra, tinged | ————— soft, luxurious finish. a yard. 90c¢ a yard—j3z-inch sponged and shrunk. ciated when seen.

Dwarfed by a distance of $3,000,- 000 miles, monster discolorations of every shape kave penned their stormy history again and again on the photospheric tah- let, but as yet these hieroglyphics of the sun have remained partly unread. The recent great spot, the largest in five years, reappeared in due time on the 1st of November and, though decreased in size, an additional outbreak in the rear rendered it again visible to the naked eye as it crossed the disk. There is good evidence that many of the largest spots were of long duration and came round to view more than once, but complete identl- fication is difficult on account of change of form and position when on the unseen side of the rotating orb. On a few occa- sions a disconnected stream of average eruptions from east to west revealed a wide distribution of activity. The most conspicuous case during the cycle oc- curred in the latter half of May, 1894, when three-fourths of the circumference was wreathed in spots from twenty to thirty degrees apart. A lesser display of streaminess took place thrice in 1895, once in 1896 and once in 1898. A specially interesting feature in a float- ing cavity of the photosphere is any in- dication that its dark depths form a whirlpool, according to the theory of M. Faye, the French scientist. A cyclonie tendency was noticed in several spots, the most remarkable being tho: f Jan- uary, 1862, and April, 1879. On August 25, 1894, the visible surface was in & more un- spotted condition than for at least two years and ten months previous. Thence- forth a spotiess disk became more fre- quent, the culmination being eighty-six days distributed throughout 1501 and 147 days throughout 1892.° Of these latter, have resumed activity, which scattering of forces {s frequently a presags of re- turning maxima. —— One Week Only.
