WEATHER FORECAST FOR YEAR
This Will Be Possible IL Recent Dis
coveries Are Verified.


Chicago. - Discoveries which have
made II possible to forecast weather
conditions accurately for an entire sea-
son have been made by Professor
Frost OF the Yerkes observatory. Such
a system, experts say. would be worth
an Incalculable sum to the agricultural
interests, as droughts and wet seasons
could be prepared far In advance OF
their coming.
Professor Frost's discoveries have to
do with the radiation Of heat from the
sun. In making public the results Of
his investigation he says he has found
the radiation to be variable. This,
with other discoveries Professor Frost
has made, may bring about an entirely
new system Of forecasting weather
