Through a series of papers dealing

relation Is a complex one.”
Whether recent abnormal aapecta ot
worldwide weather have been caused
by solar conditions cannot be deter
mined, because extended records of
the past history of solar radiation are
lacking.
Baals for Predictions.
Dr. G G Abbot, assistant secretary
of the Institution and the director of
Iha astrophysical observatory, says
that not only does the heat received
by the earth from the sun appear
variable, but that the changes can be
