26 HARD WINTERS TO

French Forecaster Says This Is

He Blames Sun.

Paris. oct. 26.-The worlds rain
cycle beginning in 1902 which the
French meteorological authority, Able
Moreaux. director of the Bourges OBJ
~servatory advocated as the result of
his study of the suns face. is now, the
Able says, ended. He forecasts a SER
les, though not perhaps unbroken. of
&c hard winters beginning the present
year.
According to the Able it is impos-
sible to say where in. Europe the win
ter cold will be excessive: but probab-
ilities are that France will have to face
many rigorous winter seasons during
this period. He bases his prophesy re-
%garding the coming winter temporal
lures upon the ~supposition that the
temperature curve all over the world
can be calculated on the same princip-
les as the worlds rain curve.
