AN ASTRONOMER'S OBSERVATIONS. At the Royal Institution a few evenings ago, 1rofessor George E. Hale, Director of the Solar l'hysics Observatory at Mount Wilson, in Cali- mis, the boundless monetary resources of which are provided by Mr. Carnegie, gave us the results of some more recent observations upon the sun and especially upon sun spots. The Atmospheric and other conditions at Mount Wilson, are such as are nowhere else rivalled, and the results recently obtained "are simply~marvellous. Photography with exi- cium light, for instance, or with certain elements' of the light emitted by bydrogen, shows u'un spots as great; vortices, those in the northern hemisphere rotating in ose directiop, those in direction, like cyclonic disturbances in our positions or are moving in such directions that the southern hemisphere rotating in the other | holated only when typhoons exist in anch
