o-ordinatod into a
Wery hand new xnarveln are hei Tiff lirnlllrir. tr
ight. At one time Mr. Loekyer surprises us
iT exhihitinw i.ha
irhich the aolar storms rage across the blazing
;urface of our luminary. At another, thn
fcixergotic astronomer who presides over the
.onian ubservatory tolls tw of water within
he fierce tumult of the solar snots. Tim
hew observers track the strange indueno os of
no pianeis on the solar atmosphere, watching
lot only the ereat tide of snots which sweena
a the ten-year period over the solar storm-
ones, ana then leaves our sun clear from
peck or stain, but also the ripples of snot-
ormation which come in Bhorter periods, and
nam luextncaoiy Dienaeu to ordinary od
orvers with the great periodic disturbances.
.astiy, Liockyer, Iluggins, Zollncr, and
ecohi describe the maorio chancoa
bf form which pass over toncues
f tlame, projecting thousands of
uilos from the solar surface. We have before
is as we write a series of coloretj prominence
icturos taken by Dr. Zollner, the eminon
hotometrician. It is impossible to oontem
ilate these strange figures without a sense o
he magnificence of the problem whioh the
kun presents to astronomers. Here are vast
ntitiea flames, if we will, but flames unlike
ill those with which we are familiar. And
hose vast tongues of fire assume forms whioh
peak to us at once of the action of forces of
he ntmost violence and intensity. The very
kspect of these objects at once teaches this,
ut it is the rapid changes of place and of
figure to which the spots are subjected that
ire most significant on this point. Here is a
past cone-shaped flame, with a mushroom-
haped head of enormous proportions, the
tholo object standing 16,000 or 17.000 miles
from the sun's surface. In the cone fig are
ire see the uprush of lately imprisoned gasos,
in the outspreading head the sudden diminu
tion of pressure as these gases reach the rarer
tipper atmosphere. But turn from this
object to a series of six pictures placed besido
it;- and we see the solar forces in action,
pirst, there is a vast flame, some 18,000
miles high, bowed towards the right,
as though some fierce wind ' were blowing
upon it. It extends in this direction some
four or five thousand miles. The next pic
ture represents the same object ten minutes
later. The fgure of the prominence has
wholly changed. It is now a globe-shaped
mass, standing on a narrow stalk of light
above a row of flame-hillocks. It is bowed
towards the left, so that in those short
minutes the whole mass of the flame has
swept thousands of miles away from its for-
Eaer position. Only two minutes later, and
gain a complete change of appearance. The
talk and flame-hillocks have vanished, and
the globe-shaped mass has become elongated.
Three minutes later the shape of the promi
nence has altered so completely that one can
hardly recognize it for the same. The stalk
is again visible, but the upper mass is bowed
down on the right, so that the whole figure
resembles a gigantic A, without tho cross
bar and with the down-stroke abnormally
thick. This great A is some twenty thousand
miles in height, and the whole mass of our
earth might be bowled between its legs with
out touching them ! Four minutes pass, and
again the figure has changed. The flame-
Sriillrtelra TAflnnaor tViA rlrniYi-nrrrdrft tf tVi A
begins to raise itself from the sun s surface.
Lastly, after yet another interval of four
minutes, the figure of the prominence has
Rust all resemblance to an A, and may now
lie likened to a camel's head looking towards
Bhe right. The whole series of changes has
1 5 1 1 1 A At. 1 A A Al
loccupiea utii iweiiiY-iureu muiuies, yet me
Iflame exceeded our earth in volume ten-fold
at the least. But Mr. Loekyer has recorded
nn instance of a yet more marvellous nature.
U vast prominence extending seventy or
eighty thousand miles from the sun's surface
banished altogether in. ten minutes. Tho
mery way in which Zollner s drawings were
naken savors of the marvellous. We have
wpoken of them as colored, lhey are ruby-
bed, and so the prominences appeared to the
Ktronomer. The real light of the promi
nences is not only ruby-red, however, but
rose-colored, with taint indications of pink,
or even bluish tints. The fact is, that by the
new method of observation the image of a
prominence is formed by only a certain part
of its light. We may say that out or tne
several colored images of the same promi
nence the astronomer selects one only for ex
amination. The explanation of this is worth
consideration, as it involves the essence of
the method by which the prominences are
seen at all. When we analyze lights witn a
simple prism as Newton did, .we get instead of
a round spot of white that is. mixed
light a row of overlapping spots of
different color. It was only when, in
stead of a round spot, a fine line of white
light was analyzed, that one could detect
the absence of images of this line along cer
tain parts of the rainbow-colored streak in
other words, it was thus only that the dark
lines of the spectrum could be seen. And it
was to see these lines more clearly that the
V
slit of the spectroscope was made so narrof
I and the, rainbow-spectrum made so lo.ig b;
A spectroscopists. But the observers of th'
prutllllirjijuuoa izJ vnjn. u ,aao viva iuDbuuu -Li
they used a narrow slit, a narrow strip of the
prominence would alone lorni its spectrum,
hioh would consist of a few lnght lines.
But by having a wide slit the whole promi
nence forms its spectrum, which consists of
a few bright pictures of the prominences.
There is a green pioture corresponding to the
bright spectral line called F, a red picture
corresponding to the bright spectral line
called C, and so on. If the whole set of pio
Mures were formed at once we could see none
1 1 of them, for there would be side by side with
vthem the blazing solar Bpectrum whioh would
obliterate them altogether, just as in ordi
nary telescopio observation the bright sun
light blots out the prominences from the
my - - ...
view. But if the observer uses sucti a bat
tery of prisms that the solar spectrum would
be very long indeed, and if he admits to. view
only that part of the spectrum opposite which
one of theiprominenoe-images exists, ho can
then see that image quite distinctly, for the
neighboring part of the solar spectrum is so
reduced in splendor that it no longer oblite-
1 rates tne prominence ngure. in tms way,
then, tne observer selects one or other oi tne
pictures of a prominence, eithor the red or
the green picture, to examine. And strangely
enough, it is by no means certain that the
two pictures are alike, llather it is highly
probable that they are different, though we
Lave not space here either to indicate reasons
for believing this, or to explain the signifi
cance of the ciroumstance should it eventu
ally be established.
It seems to us that when we conaidor tho
teal dimensions of the solar globe, we appre
ciate more fully the wonderful nature of those
i : : r r
processes of sctiortindicatect by recent re '
sftarches, than when we regard these without
direct reference to the sun s magnitude. How
many of us really appreciate the enormous
volume of the sun? We read certain figures
m books.of astronomy, but do we grasp their
full significance? There is. however, a sim
ple way of viewing the matter whioh at onoe
opens our eyes to the vastness of the Bolar
globe.
