Another thing of striking interest that we notice about the Sun, is the dark spots that are almost constantly passing across his disc from east to west. It is generally supposed that these spots were discovered by Galileo in the year 1011. Since that timo, scarcely a year has passed, but what some have been visible, and frequently in great numbers. In the year after the great eclipse these spots were very large and numerous, and many thought they were in part, the cause of tho cold seasons which immediately fol- ST. CIJARIiEB HOTEL.
