"The sun spots don't directly con trol the weather conditions, hut their Influence Is electric and magnetic on the atmosphere, and this Influence, combined with local weather factors, determines the weather. "This year Is the 100th anniversary of the country's famous summerless yesr of 1 8 1 6, In thst year there were killing frosts each month and corn for seed sold for $7 a bushel. That would mean aliout $38 a bushel this yesr, by comparison. "None of the sun spots Is visible to the nsked eye. yet they ran he photographed. One of these bigger ones has a diameter of about 1,000 miles and covers the whole eastern snd central portion of the I'nlted States., J "The spots are eruptions on the I sun's surface, are gaseous, and prob ably flare out from the sun a hundred I or two hundred thousand miles."
