' WASHINGTON, April 4.OPi
Two additional obsecration its Horn,
located probably in America and Asia,
and accurate recording of the tun'
rbangea of radiation over a period of
years will be neceisary, in the op.n
i d of Dr. C. G. Abbot, aisiitant
'acreturj of the Smithsonian Inati
(tition and director of its astropbjr
t cti ol.tervatory, to determine the
xtct extent to which weather de
; iim1s upon aolar changes.
The sun's heat, Dr. Abbot belierei,
rerne the earth'a temperature and
rainfall, and a change in it mnt mod
ify tliene. The afttropbynical observ
atory began with the problem in 3.M)2,
commencing to obaerre solar radia
tion, in Washington but the impure
-atmosphere here necessitates its re
moval. The institution now maintains
observing stations at Mount Ilarqua
Hala; inArirona, which has been con
tinuously occupied since October liKJO,
and on Mount Montezuma, nearly
10,000 feet high and about 12 miles
from Calami, in the nitrate desert
of (Chile.
' Two Stations Needed
( Two additional first-rate stations
are desirable. Dr. Abbot believes, at
well .separated points in aloud less
regions, where winter observations
might be more favorable. Due to
lack of funds at the present time,
the Smithsonian Institution is unable
tri undertake this program. Before
selecting sites for the proposed new
ojar observing statlops, Dr. Abbot
thinks $5,000 would be needed to
make a preliminary survey. For
each new station it would require
from $10,000 to $15,000 for original
instillation, and from $8,000 to $12,
000 annually for continuous operation,
depending on location.
Pointing out that during the pait
two and a half years, on the whole,
the solar heat appears to have been
continuously below normal, Dr. Abbot
ah id tha,t of late months the tend
ency to' rise has become apparent,
o that It seems likely that higher
Ttluej soon will prevail again.
Forecasts Aoeurate
" During the pant year the institu
tion has received from its Arizona
and Chile stations each day a report
of solar observations of the day pre
ceding, i These have been made the
hi si of forecssta for the tempera-
. inn of New York City for aeveral
days in advance. Mathematical meth
od Dr. Abbot said, show that these
forecasts "indicate some degree of
real provision, based on the solar
observation, even to five days in ad
vance."' A continuation of this work
in Intended.

I believe our city officials whose

they ask for additional bond money
and that the city will have a health
