SCIENTISTS AT SEA
TO GAUGE SUN SPOTS
Weather Experts Not Satisfied That Late Crops Are in Any
Degree Due to Solar Phenomena.

What effect. If any, the sun spots now
reported by astronomical experts to be
at a maximum have on the weather. and,
consequently, on the crops, is question
now puzzling the experts of the Weather
Bureau
We have been studying this problem
for more than thirty years. said Prof.
Frank II. Bigelow, in charge of special
research work in the Weather Bureau.
and IL we can give a satisfactory
answer at the end OF thirty years more
l shall consider that a great discovery
has been made"
A backward season. due to cold
weather in almost all parts of the coun-
try. and in some to an excessive rain
fall, is reported by officials Of the
Agricultural Department, and on this
account seed already in the ground is
very slow, while in many parts Of the
country there has been a delay in
planting These conditions. being CO.
incident with a maximum of sun spots.
have caused much speculation as to
cause and effect.
In speaking of the weather conditions
yesterday, James Berry. Of the climate
and crop division, said:
The latest reports coming to the
weather bureau, especially those of the
last week, show an excess Of cool wealth
er In all districts east Of the Rocky
Mountains. Only in California are nor
NAL temperature conditions reported. In
the central valleys heavy frosts have
occurred and cool weather Is reported IN
Minnesota and Illinois, and throughout
the Northwest generally the season is
late and there is a tardy growth of vege-
tation- The last killing frosts in those
regions seldom occur later than May 3.
What effect this viii have on the
general crop remains to be seen. The
only crop on which an estimate can
fairly be made now is winter wheat, and
that IS below the average. The condi-
ton on May l was 765. against an aver
age condition OF s2.s at the same tine
last year. However. the condition IS
not so bad as two years ago, when, on
May l. IT was 7s.4 But IL IS below the
mean of May averages for the last ten
years. which is s4.2
There has been considerable delay in
planting corn, but this does not neces-
sarily mean a short crop. Should warm
weather follow with the ground still
moist conditions might soon become
normal. The worst delay in corn plant
ing has occurred in Nebraska. Iowa and
Missouri. In the Southwest the crop is
in fair condition. but in the South At

ask the conductor what's OBTAINING
them.
BY July Professor Albertson plans to
have in operation the most magnetic

company is about TO begin the construc-
ton of a railway between Midland
Beach and South Beach, s. l. The road
will be one and eight-tenths miles in
length and the rolling stock will be one

at the most. three cars. There will be
no necessity for more than a single
train for, at the lightning speed that the
inventor purposes sending it over the
right of way. two trains would be
cumbersome.
Fifteen seconds will be the schedule
time from terminal TO terminal, If Pro-
said yesterday that he had figured 1t
all out and made his estimates of the
speed with the little models he has in
his workshop ut Eleventh Avenue and
Twenty-sixth Street. He has a minia-
ture railroad there. on which he chases
a toy train of one car and the queer
looking motor every day, in order to
perfect the mechanism. The inventor
says he can burn up the rails with Il.
and is really afraid to let IL reach its
maximum.
According to Professor AIbertson's
time schedule for the Staten Island line.
the train win travel at the rate OF
about 432 miles an hour, which is ap-
proximately FIVE times as fast as the
swiftest express in the United States.
He says that he himself does not vet
know the exact maximum of speed that
his invention can attain. but is con-
WINGED that IL can haul a train along a
straight track at more than 400 miles

What connection this has with the

Department"
Whenever said Prof. BigeIow. "a
backward season comes at the same
time with a maximum of sun spots the
question of direct connection becomes
doubly interesting. The whole earth.
however. would be affected, and we have
no reports that abnormal climate con-
ditions prevail in other parts of the
world. There arc no records at the
Weather Bureau TO show that a ma XII
mum Of sun spots has actually pro.
duced a backward season in the matter
OF weather and crops. and the prob
lem of the effect of the spots on the
radiation of the suns heat yet remains
to be solved. Such effect would be nee
essarily inflnitesimal and could be
determined only by minute calculations
covering observations of a long series
Of years.
