Washington, Oct. 12. — Two photo graphs of spots on the sun taken by George A. Peters, who is in' charge ol the photobiograph of the Naval observitory, show a jrreat group of spots, the largest obser\Yd for many years. The group is sufficiently large to be seen with the naked eye protected by smoked glass. It is estimated roughly that the disturbed arcn of the sun's surface is about 110.000 miles long and 50,000 miles wide, with fcf otal area ol 550,000,000 square miles. The photograph first taken showed the group of sjDots in the eastern limit of the north latitude. At that time part of the enormous group had not come into Tiew, and one of the spots appeared like a large notch on the edge of the sun. On Oct. 7, however, this group had come plainly in view afid was seen to be composed of about a dozen separate spots, some of them large and in close conjunction with each other. In past years it has been observed that sun spots are most numerous once every twelve years. During this period there is' a maximum and minimum t number of spots. The last minimum period came In 1001. The appearance of this large group ol spots, it is thought, forecasts the approach of the maximum period.

Washington, Oct. 12. — Two photo graphs of spots on the sun taken by George A. Peters, who is in' charge ol the photobiograph of the Naval observitory, show a jrreat group of spots, the largest obser\Yd for many years. The group is sufficiently large to be seen with the naked eye protected by smoked glass. It is estimated roughly that the disturbed arcn of the sun's surface is about 110.000 miles long and 50,000 miles wide, with fcf otal area ol 550,000,000 square miles. The photograph first taken showed the group of sjDots in the eastern limit of the north latitude. At that time part of the enormous group had not come into Tiew, and one of the spots appeared like a large notch on the edge of the sun. On Oct. 7, however, this group had come plainly in view afid was seen to be composed of about a dozen separate spots, some of them large and in close conjunction with each other. In past years it has been observed that sun spots are most numerous once every twelve years. During this period there is' a maximum and minimum t number of spots. The last minimum period came In 1001. The appearance of this large group ol spots, it is thought, forecasts the approach of the maximum period.
