Scientific paper

IN the faithfully-recording columns of NATURE for March 30, at p. 434, is a much required abstract of Mr. Stone's important paper, recently communicated by him to the Royal Society, London, on the connection between terrestrial temperature and sun-spot phenomena. By comparing the curves of mean annual temperatures during the last thirty years (as observed, ready to his hand, by his indefatigable predecessor Sir Thomas Maclear) with another curve constructed on Wolf's observations of sun-spots, Mr. Stone has been enabled to deduce, almost immediately after arriving on his new scene of labour at the Cape of Good Hope, first, that there is an approximately decennial period of such temperature, and so similar to that of the sun-spots as to indicate more than a mere coincidence; and secondly, that the sun-spots are not to be looked on as the direct ages of thent temperature variation, but that either phenomenon results from some general change of solar energy.
