 The variability of solar radiation ap- pears to have range of from to 10 per cent with an irregular period of from , to 10 days. That these fuc- tuations as measured within the earth's atmosphere represent actual changes in the solar output and are not merely the result of local conditions of ob- servation, can be determined only by simultaneous observations at two or more places on the earth.

On account of the disturbed political conditions in Mexico this plan was abandoned in favor of a station in AL geria, where observations were made in 1911 by MT. c. G.

Energetic Ants

The Macmillan Company has just
come forward with a volume entitled
The New Democracy" by Walter f.
Weyl, Ph.D., where the history and
significance of political changes and
modern characteristics of the Ameri-
can people are interpreted with con-
vincing force and undated interest.
Briefly touching on the question OF
Woman Suffrage, DR.. Well says:
The movement for the political
emancipation of woman suffers less
from active antagonism than from the
inertness OF many TO whom IL should
appeal; when successful men will gain
much more than they will lose from
this extension Of the suffrage. The
anti-suffragists, far from being the
opponents, are the real, though inEo-
cent coadtutors OF the suffragists. The
anu-suffrage movement, though II
wanders forlornly In alien thorough
fares Is an unmistakable sign OF an
awakened social conscienclousnes

cal soil OF their progressive sisters.
