GARRETT P. SERVISS ON YEAR
WITHOUT A SUMMER
June and July in 1926-1927 May Be So Cold as t
Destroy All Crops, Scientist Forecasts.

The best determined decline OF
solar energy is that which began
in January, 1921, and still con-
tinues. This was preceded by an
accession Of energy above the
normal. which lasted from 1917
to 1920, inclusive. AS to what
has happened to the sun in the
past, before special attention be-
gan to be given to the subject,
and before regular records of the
weather were kept, we know
nothing except indirectly from
old annals In which anecdotes
and fragmentary facts about
extraordinary winters and sum-
mers were incidentally entered.
The wonderful year without a
summer" falls in this category.
Its relation to the state of the
sun can only be judged by cal
culating backward on the basis
of the sun spot period. But that
period is irregular in both in
tensity and length.
Accordingly, 1t may seem
rather early yet to risk confident
predictions Of weather conditions.
and of general temperature on
the strength of what we now
know Of the suns fluctuations Of
energy. One thing which should
be understood by all is that this
is not so simple a matter as
thrusting the hand out into the
sunshine, as IL into a warm bath,
and saying: sNow the sun Is
hotter than on the average
later: Nov the sun has cooled"
Between the sun and the ter
restrial surface. wherein we live,
there Il the vast screen Of the
atmosphere, which interrupts, now
more, now less, the passage OF
the solar radiation. and no In
Yestigation of the changes under
gone by the latter can have any
value unless It carefully takes
into account the part played by
the atmosphere, and this y q
very complicated matter.
Then, too, as Mr.. Browne has
shown. the consequences OF solar
changes are not Immediately felt.
The broad. open oceans, covering
IS per cent of the earth's surface.
act as accumulators of heat. and
distributors of it, and If the sun
fails them, they in turn fail the
continents. Thus the ultimate ef-
fects Of decline of solar energy
are retarded. From this II Is
concluded that "the weather for
1925-26-27 has already been de-
termined by the Cow solar con-
slant of 1924"

muddled and corrupted, both on our statute

there is every indication that it will continue
