SOLAR ERUPTIONS MAY
CAUSE MORE SUNSHINE

LONDON, June 3-Recent solar
eruptions which caused brilliant au-
roras and disorganized cable and
telegraph service, may result in the
earth receiving an increased quota
of sunshine during the remainder
Of the year. said Sir Oliver Lodge.
He declares it is probable the
Monsoon will be strengthened and
in consequence the Indian harvest
will be improved. He ven ventures
the opinion that the electrified var
ticles thrown off by the sun may as
sist in development of vegetation
and reduce the amount of dust held
suspended in the atmosphere. Sir
Oliver said the magnetic disturb
ances that attended the solar erup-
ton were due to a torrent of cleo
trified particles, which constituted
a gigantic electric current.
