REMARKABLE CLAIMS OF LANGLEY.
Thinks He Will BE Able to Predict Fu-
ture Seasons and Effects Upon Crops.


ture Seasons and Effects Upon Crops.
Washington, April 21.-Prof. S p.
Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian
institute and inventor of the bolo-
meter, an instrument which indicates
one thousand millionth of a degree
centrigrade, has submitted to the ma
tional academy of sciences data as to
the basis of heat and cold which are
likely to be of greatest value to fore
casters of the weather. Professor
Langley's Investigations have been
directed to an extended solar spec
trum. BY using the bolometer on the
summit of Mount Whitney in the
Sierra Nevadas at an altitude of 12O,-
900 feet he found new spectrum of
great extent, wholly unknown to
science, and apparently the principal
seat of these changes which affect the
climate and agriculture. Professor
| Langley believes it is not impossible
that predictions would yet be made
as 20 future changes in the character
Of coming seasons and their effects
upon the crops, infinitely more fer
| reaching than those now made by
| the weather bureau.
