eighteen months or two years, have
been looking into the unusual phe-
nomena of the numerous sudden at
mospheric changes and other eccen-
tricities which have accompanied the
revolutions of our planet; comparing
the changes in each season, the
meteorological phases of spring. sum-
mer, autumn and winter, to ascertain
whether there was, in any one of
these seasons. any scientific reason
for such unusual weather phenomena
which have been prevailing throughout
the different sections of the globe.
In these Investigations, students,
forecasters and meteorological sci
entists have found that there is suf-
ficient evidence to qualify the conclu-
sions that the earth, for some two
years or more. has established A new
