This warm spell was confidently predicted as
a result OF the return by rotation OF the dis
turbed area lin the SUM. We think that 1t has
been abundantly shown during the last year
liable data for lon -distAnce weather forecasts.
Rapid and unexpected changes In the suns
condition sometimes interfere. but when they
are once noted they give opportunity for re-
forming the system Of recurring weather on
the period Of tWenty-siX days.
The warm periods noted every month during
the past winter occurred in connection with
well-marked disturbances l1, the suns north

disturbance in the suns southern hemisphere

There came near being a tragedy on Mount

tured too near the crater and we're all but
swept away by streams OF molten lava which
poured from the mountain. This fact recalls
the sad death nearly fifty years ago Of Mr..
Charles Carroll Bayard Of Delaware. VIII had
many relatives in Maryland and was widely
known in this State.
