Show Spots on the Sun. A large por- j tiou of tho sun's surface is again cov- crcd by spots. Yesterday there was ! a nearly circular spot not far from the centre, and four other clusters distributed distri-buted around it, in trnpezian form, each being not far from midway between the centre and the circumfcr- encc. Thrco of these clusters were composed of several spots each, one containing more than a dozen of them, and resembling a huge cake of honeycomb. honey-comb. A very small telescope, fitted i with colored gla?s, shows all ihcsc ; spots distinctly. Chicago Tribune, August 17th. |
