Thotr Inftuanca Upon Our Planet The periodicity of mm s(>ot* Is otic of the most Interesting and most pu*/:ding facts concerning theiu, suyw Isal**! M. I,ewis of the nuuth ul ulmanoc office of the United states naval observatory. Within it j**iI<mI whose average length 1m about eleven years sun mjh.ih go through h eyrie of minimum and mini mum ai>i>earanee. At the time of maxi mum *i?ottednesa the sun's surface Is never fret? from spots. At the mini mum weeks may latss without tin- ?l? pea ranee of a single s|>ot. Although the average cycle In eleven years, individual jverlodn uisy var.v greatly, running from seven lo seven-* teen years in duration. Attempt* have been made to .show that a larger ju ried of thirty-three and one-third \ears exist, of whleh the smaller iierlods are subdivisions. When wo know the cm use of the nun s|H>t cycle we shall hnve ml vuneed far in the solution of the tuys tery of sun spots tmd all their numer ous allhsl phenomena. Sun s|H)t spectra have been exten sively studied, and much has been learned from this menus of Investi gation. They show the presence of strong magnetic fields as \\ ?? II its a marked cooling of overlying gases. and the presence w ithin spots of su h < 0111 pounds us titanium oxide uml '.ilduiii and magnesium "hydride. These com pom,ids could form only at ? oinpara tively low temperature, and it is as sumed that sun spots are reuiotis of cooler solar temperature at. about .'...>iK> degrees ? as compared witli ??.ooo de i grees <for the remainder of i he ple? I tosphere. I The presence of thi* com|K)Uiids above mentioned gives the sun spot spectra their peculiar tinted appearance. which is ulso seen in the red type of stars This is very significant when we con i shier that the red stars are the older ' and cooler stars. Are sun spots thei: 1 one of the signs of the sun- advanc 1 ing ago? And will they in? reuse in si/.e and importance as the sun grows j older? I ?o they herald the doom ?i > our solar system i Sun spots, it is now believed, are ' manifestations of some deep lyin_ dis turbance that is of farreacliiii- impor tance. .Many phenomena la- 'hroiiL'ii i . y? les of ? iiai.-e in Keeping with tie sun sput t \ cle.

At. tlie time a maximum .v:n spot period 1 the coroua is an evenly dc\'doped haio j surrounding the sun. At the sun spot minimum if shows e<ptator.al stream ers that often extend two or three i times the vim's diameter, while on ci ! tiler side of the solar poles only short i filaments of light appear So decided ' are these changes in the f.-rm of tie j corona with the change in the sun spot period that the two ty|>es are s|xiken of us "the sun spot maximum corona" and "the sun spot minimum corona." As to what causes these periodic out breaks upon the solar surface we are still in the dark. Some astronomers believe they are caused by externnl In fluences. such as jwuiiHlio returns of swarms of meteors or returns of cer tain planetary configurations. Careful and long continued observations seem to show* that sun spots are tlie result of internal dlst urbaiiees. which cause a transference of solar matter from within outward in a cyclonic motion, which has been compared In form to that of whirling waterspouts at sea. The central stem forms tlie umbra and the outspreading gases the penum bra. There is a tendency to form a vacuum in the center of the whirl, Md into tjds are drawn the overlying gases, mostly of hydrogen. The rapid expansion of gases as they approach the solar surface from within causes a great cooling, which accounts for tin* comparatively low temperature in spots and the forma tion of such solids as titanium oxide and the hydrides of calcium and mag nesium. These dissimilar substances, it is !>elieved. give ris?? to the mag netic field, which is known to be a feature of sun sjs?ts. It is hoped that continued solar re search will make known In time the? cause of these peculiar periodic dls turbances that are so farrem-hing In their effect - New York Sur. Battle of Golden Hill.

In all this work not a guu was tired, ih>t even a j?lstol, ami In tak ing control as the officials called the move, there was not the suggestion of hostilities. In New York where twenty-seven vessels were lxstrxh'd ami stripped of their crews, there was not a syllable of unpleasantness. There was no fric tion, not even an argument. Not au unpleasant comment was heard. After 1.1.Tt Germans had been taken to Kills Islam! one of the government officials remarked : "if they had iK^onged to the United States army they <*ould not have moved in !>etter order." Just at suurise Collector of . the Port Malone, on an order from Wash ington to take control of the shl|w. assemble their crews and turn the men over to the immigration officials, sent the IJOO customs officers with ."too rejailar Infantrymen from Governor's ?Wand. out on the piers and told tlivjr commanders that under of the United States he had come to take control of the shii>s and ordered the crews assembled. Each (Jerman captain formally pro tested against the move and then cheerfully submitted to orders. The (iernian crews took their orders with military precision fiom their eomlnand ers. In one hour the men were on their way io the Immigration station on bouts, sotoe even joking. All they were told was that their slil]>s. which were the homes of many, had been taken to await their dls )M?sition by the United States govern ment, and that they themselves were to go to Kills Island to remain until their status should be determined. At Baltimore, thirty pounds of gun l>owder, with a number of rltles and revolvers was found aboard the North German I.loyd liner Neckar, and some powder was also found on the Ham burg-American freighter Itulgaria, but there was no resistance offered by their crews.
