Heavy buying Of French francs,
which rallied about 10 points to 3.S4
cents and then eased slightly, fea-
tured the foreign stock exchange

new BRAND ministry and the heavy
renewal of subscriptions to maturing
securities by French holders. De-
mand sterling held firm at $4.S4 ga,

revival of speculative activities based
on indications of easing money corr

AS regards the prospect of basing long
range forecasts upon observations of the
sun, the Weather Bureau is interested.
but awaits the acquisition of further
knowledge. AS yet not much is known
about solar variations and the effects
thereof upon weather conditions. There
is too much guessWork and too little GER
tainty.
For the comfort of those who believe
in the Weather Bureau, it must be said
it does not agree with the meteorologists
who predict the cold summer. The
Weather Bureau does not accept the cy-
Gle theory. But, on the other hand, the
Weather Bureau is often from right.
In the cold year, 1916, a snowstorm be-
ginning June II extended from Maryland
northward Into Canada, covering all of
Pennsylvania, New York, New England
and a vast region to the westward. The
snow fell to a depth of four to ten inches
and in parts of southern Canada more or
less of it remained on the ground
throughout the Summer.
On the night of July 4 ice formed all
over the same territory and as far west
as the Mississippi River. In Vermont
and in the Berkshires of Massachusetts
there was ice or ponds thick enough for
skating. In Maryland there was a quar-
ter of an inch of ice. At Fort Dearborn
(now Chicago ice had to be broken in
horse troughs to water the horses.
These spells of severe, unreasonable
cold wrought destruction in corn, wheat
and other food crops. In the Spring of
1877 farmers in New England paid $40 a
bushel for seed corn on the cob; the price
in normal years was so cents. In Eng
land the weather was even more severe,
and the abnormal cold reached southwark
into Africa and tn the West Indies.
Are we to have another year without
a Summer in 1927? The United States
Weather Bureau sees no reason for such
an expectation. 1t will be interesting to

that the sun actually is brighter at some
times than at others; which means, of
course, that at such times the luminary
is yielding more radiant energy. Its
brightness may very as much as 10 per
cent. The variation in amount of heat
emitted is, on occasions, as great as 5
per cent in a week.
During the years 1921 and 1922 (says
DR.. Abbott the sun gave out an unusual
amount of heat. and those years were re-
markable for high temperatures on the
earth. In its summary of conditions for
1921 the Weather Bureau said: The
outstanding feature of the year was the
unusually warm weather in nearly every
month"
Years vary a good deal. Taking the
figure 100 as representing the tempera-
ture during an average year, the Wealth
err Bureau puts down l05 for 1887, which
was an exceptionally warm twelve
months. But for 1885 it was only 80 lex
traordinariIy cold; for 1891 it was 95; for
1912 it was 80. and for 1913 it was SO.
Why those years of exceptionally cold
weather? Volcanoes were responsible.
The explosion of Krakatoa, in 1883, was
followed by three years of cold, owing to
the enOrmous quantity of volcanic ashes
thrown IulO the upper atmosphere,
where, remaining ahoat for a long time,
they INSTRUCTED the rays of the sun.
Similarly, the chilliness of 1912 and 1913
was attributable to the tremendous blow
up of Mount Katmai, on the Alaskan
Peninsula.
Thus it will be seen that there are va
rious causes which will affect the atmos-
pheric temperature. Lessened produc-
ton of energy by the sun may be ac-
countabIe. Thickened clouds of ash-dust
about the solar orb may be responsible
for unusual frigidity. Ashes thrown out
by volcanoes on the earth may help to
freeze US.
We are not accustomed to realize how
much heat the sun delivers on our planet.
because only about 20 percent of the rays
that reach our atmosphere penetrate
through it. Forty per cent are DETECTED
off into space, mostly by dust particles,
