PROF. BALFOUR STEWART in the last of his exceedingly interesting articles in NATURE (vol. xvi. p. 45) on the suspected relations between the sun and the earth, winds up with an appeal (which I should like to see promptly responded to by the Government here as well as at home) in favour of the establishment of some institution to keep a daily watch upon the luminary that is found to exercise such a marvellous control over terrestrial magnetism and meteorology. He also mentions incidentally the discovery by Dr. Hunter that the famines in Southern India have a period of recurrence which is nearly the same as that of sun-spot frequency. This is no doubt an exceedingly plausible hypothesis in asmuch as five out of the six years of drought mentioned by Dr. Hunter as preceding the years of famine during the present century fall within the group of minimum sun-spot years, the sixth (1854) being also a year of relatively few sun-spots (19 2 according to Wolf).
