minima. These and certain and well
known related phenomena are now
put forward as the basis of new
science which will make possible fore
casts of the weather far in advance.
That these features of solar activity,
however, actually should control and
determine the daily changes and Sc
quence of weather conditions in any
definitely or direct and consequential
manner, is regarded by the govern
ment scientists as quite impossible.
Solar phenomena of the kind describ-
ed do not have any direct influence
upon the weather at any particular
time and place, and can not be made
the basis of any forecasts whatever.
The alleged discovery is regarded
as only one of a number of similar
schemes which are continually being
put forward. In some cases the adj
vocates of these schemes assert that
they can forecast the weather for
weeks or months in advance, and in
others they state that they have
found means of producing rain arti-
ficially, of preventing hail, and in 9TH
er ways of interfering with and con-
trolling atmospheric phenomena

credence because there are number
of people who still cling to the an

Chief of u. s. Weather Bureau
Says Method Has No
Scientific Value.

The chief of the United States
weather bureau has stated that in the
opinion of the bureau new system OF
Iong-range weather forecasting, which
has been widely discussed recently,
was quite fallacioUs. The new sys-
tenn is said to be based on the spot
tedness Of the sun and riffs and
shafts Of solar radiation. In the opln-
ion Of the weather bureau it belongs
in the same class with other methods
of long-range weather forecasting
based on lunar, planetary, magnetic
and astrological considerations. None
of these systems, it is said, has any
scientific value
During the past few years the
weather bureau has received full spec
ifications concerning all the essen
tial details of this particular system.
The alleged discovery is, therefore,
fully known to the weather bureau,
and has been carefully studied and
examined by its scientific staff.
Moreover, other scientists OF in
ternational reputation now connect
ed with the strongest institutions OF
the world engaged in astronomical re-
search, and conducting Investigations
into solar and terrestrial physics,
have also passed upon these new the
cries. These authorities are in ac-
cord that the deductions and conclus-
ions drawn from the solar conditions
on which the new system is based is
unwarranted.
"When the disk of the sun is minu-
tely examined with powerful tele-
scopes, or when it is photographed
with the aid of the modern spectre
heliograph, the surface presents a
characteristic spotted appearance
which undergoes slight changes from
day to day and greater changes with
longer intervals of time, depending
upon the well-knOwn rotation of the
sun upon its axis and the periodic re-
currence of the sunspot maxima and
