on sua i rats and on the same luje
tires po tlfe proofs that It doe lie
ee through the bUndlug glasses giren
hint in the universities and therefor
euunot that which Is as plainly vUl
be us the noonday sun
There is > mystery aboat sun apots
and If we an come tlown to wnruou
sense Ideas e can readily sec that they
result from a universal law Our as-
tronomers have erred la rejectinjr plane-
tary Intluences because the tvnbelia t f
Jupiter do not agree with sun spot wail
viia They started out with the idea that
the sun 1 fu an unnatural conation
when It Is covered by spots and lucre
foro the spot ara caused by sooieparticu
lar twsltlon of the planets Tho reverse
of this Is true K > ottedneSs Is the na-
tural condition of tho sun ami the ob-
literation of the spots Is a result of cer-
tain position of thu planets
This idea lias never entt red th < mltid
of one of our universitytaught astrono-
mers ha nevir before been presented
to tho public It is a moHt hnjwrlniit
K > ltit and i want to Impress It ou the
mind of iny reader
If there were no planets moving etrotinl
tho sun It avouM always be covered with
spots becauso Its ntmosjibere would
bo much less expanded than It now Is
When our moon Is iiear or morlnjr to-
ward perigee we have tho least nmmut
of rain because the ntmoxpbere Is then
absorbing moisture This prluelple < an
be Dlustrateil by tlm laws governing
eleetrllled bodies
Kleetrlclty evaporates all substances
A light charge evaporates water cur-
rents decompose and carry away roc til
and minerals Static electricity remains
on the outside of epberes and when two
spheres approach eaih other the electric
charge of each recedes lo the opposite
sldo of each ami there becomes more
ilense deeper of greater tension and
therefore of greater effect In evaporating
matter
Hy this law we sen that the suns
atmosphero expands Its cloud Kits In-
crease by evaporation thereby enveloping
the sun spots holding from view the
datk body of the sun when tic planets
aj > proach the sun at perihelion
During October JuiriUr will rise In the
northeast not far from Opm He Is

ing at tho Mimn lime the sun seta He
Is near the plane of tin snna equa-

over tho sun eiuator April U 1MU
He was at perihelion In 1KC and will
1m at aphelion in 1S9S Jupiter ha more
Influence la obliterating sun spots than
do any other two planets His diameter
I about eleven times that of the earth
He has had much to do with the
