For several years the suns heat

Marvin grinncd and came back with

"You tell me: you're the weather

We'll" Marvin continued, drawing
from his desk bunch of intricate
graphs and charts. Il am not yet
ready to accept the theory of varia-
ton in solar radiation as basis for
weather forecasting. Measuring the
suns heat is a very difficult task.
Many atmospheric conditions, clouds,
dust, ETC., tend to disturb the accu-
racy of the measurements. But look
at these charts-running back over
many years. They indicate that as
the methods for measuring solar
radiation have improved. and as bet
ter equipment and better stations for
observation have been obtained, the
apparent variability of the suns heat
has diminished.
That might indicate that the varia-
ton recorded was not due to any
change in the heat of the sun itself.

"Following the eruption of Katami
In the Aleutian Islands a few years

above the level to which any moisture
ascends. Observations taken by the
Smithsonian institution In Algeria
showed the presence of the volcanic
dust even there-haf way round the
