When viewed with sufficient magnify- ing power the typical sun spot is seen to eonsfst-of a dark centpe; called the: "umbra," and a ligter border, the ".pen umbra." Actually, however, the _alt' parently dark umbra is brighter and hotter thou an electric arc light, but it seems dark by colt ar son with. the rest of the sun. A photograph. of a sun spot through an instrument' called the "spectre- • heliograph;" an invention of Dr. 17abe, enables the `observer to tunein' on one wave length of the sun's ligl>'t, to use . a radio analogy, Such P ict res one ele- ment, of show the dfstr butte any such as calcium or hydrogen, on the sun and reveal a definitely spiral structure of the spot. It is in ` this way that- their nature has been .determined, and they are now known to be great cyclones `or tornadoes in • the outer gaseous layer of the sun. Associated with the activity of the sun, as revealed 'by-the"'presence on absence of -`spots, are; numerous 'other phenomena. Of most interest to earth livers is the relation between tbeui and our average temperatures. It has been n9ticei ` that the earth Is ap- preciably, cooler at the time of spot • maxiiuuln than at the minimum, and this may seem surprising, because the spots indicate increased solar-aotiv�'it,•• However, it, is supposed that at rsch active times large quantities of "dIOst;" small particles of some kind, are thrown out around the sun and that .Hits acts as a screen to reduce ratline tion to the; earth. Support is given this; view by the fact.thatthe corona, which can 'only be seen at'the time of a total eclipse, seems to consist of such small particles and is much more 'extensive at the time of a large nuin- belt of spots, Magnetism of Spots. One of the most fruitful lines of :•e• search, in the sun in recent years has been in .connection with the magnet- ism of the spots, and this subjeca is dis- cussed at length in the last chapter of Dr. Hate's new book, "The Depths of the Universe."
