Washington, Dec. 3.-Last bulletin
gave forecasts of disturbance to cross
the continent E to II, warm wave 5 to 10,
cool wave 9 to I3. The features of this
will be the cold wave preceding the low
and the progressively warm weather
that will follow, with variations till
about 10 Look out for a great warm
wave about 20, with a severe cold wave
following.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cifc coast about II, cross the Pacific
slpoe by close of I3, great central val
leys ID to I6, eastern sections II. Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
II, great central valleys II, eastern Sec
tions I6. Cool wave will cross the Pa
cifc slope about IS, great central valleys
II, eastern sections 10.
During this disturbance temperatures
will average about normal and rainfall
will be light with but little snow in
northern sections. Wind force will be
greater than with last disturbance
Most rain may be expected i'll the Ohio
valley, northwestern states, southern
sections of the great lakes and in lower
Mississippi valleys. Elsewhere too dry
for winter grain and winter gardens.
Snow furries are expected insnorthern
sections December 3 to 8.
Great efforts have been made by the
English in India to determine the causes
and forecast crop seasons when the great
drouths will af1ict that country in order
that they may prepare to meet the raw
ages of famine They have concluded
that sunspots have some relation to the
great drouths and famines in India, but
they are not able to forecast the sun
spots.
In order to convince scientists and
governments that the causes of sun
spots have been discovered and that the
varying conditions of sunspots can be
| foretold, these bulletins will take up that
matter and forecast all the principal
sunspotS.
Next year will be prolific in the pro-
duction of sunspots, and | will endeavol
to give their dates and conditions Nc
doubt there is relation between crops
and sunspots. The latter is the NANTES
tation of great weather events on the
sun, and whenever a great disturbance
occurs anywhere in the solar system the
sun, all the planets, moons and asteroids
little pianets-are affected.
Great sunspot years bring great ex,
tremes of weather, causing great crop:
in some countries and great failures II
others. This question is of Worldwide
interest and will be discussed in detail
in these bulletins.
Some of the notable sunspot dates fol
1911 are given below. Very bright ant
very dark sunspots are included. 1h'

Sunspots are always in pairs, one darl

tudes on the sun later and discuss thei

ready a great question among scientist
and its interest will increase
