 In 1919 the weather will be as 1t was in 1878 or thereaoouts. Prof A Gregory of Queens college, London, notes that
 the cycle of 5 years shown by solar phe- nomena corresponds exactly with a cycle of weather changes on this earth of ours
 Prof E. Bruckner discovered some few years ago that there is a periodic varia- ton in climate over the whole earth, the average length being about 35 years. No matter what weather observations are examined. in the tropics or In polar re- gions, variation in a cycle of 8 years can be detected in them. Rainfall pres- sure and temperature, the movement of glaciers, frequency of severe winters, or the height of rivers, lakes or inland seas all vary year by year. But negiecting individual years. 1t is found that the con- ditlons for about IT years are below the avera ge. while for the next IT years they are above the average. Taking several years together It is believed that the rainfall will be more than usual until about the year 1913. just as it was $ years ago-in the seventies of the last century.

niles all the current for both talking and signaling for the entire system-whence the name common battery" applied to the method of operating the Bell eX- changes now employed in most large places.
 It is all very wonderful. this mass of apparatus working silently and inccss- antly, made up of hundreds of thous- ands of different parts and connections, full of minute adjustments yet per forming it's functions with more perfect accuracy, perhaps, than any other sort of an industrial plant A glance at 1t explains why building a telephone eX- change takes months and sometimes d couple of years Practically everything must be actually constructed on the spot where it Is to stand as long as its use fitness endures. The switchboard is lit- orally built up of hundreds of thous- ands of little strips of wood laid one up- on the other, each strip containing b or 20 separate wire connections. The dis tributing frame and the intermediate frame have thousands of miles of wire, every foot of which must be laid in place, soldered. and tested out with the most exact care to suit the requirements of the individual exchanges. And the relays, though they come from the big factory of the Bell system complete in themselves, represent perhaps the most painstaking work of all, being the most sensitive detail of the central office equipment.
 It is not surprising, when you think of the intrieacy of the telephone plant to learn that during 1906 alone the eX- penditure of the Bell companies as a whole for exchanges was within a few thousands of $60 000,00o, leaving out the cost of land and buildings, and the cost
