These cycles have stamped them
selves In the growth rings of tree

They are shown in 81 900 meas

305 different trees scattered over
ten Western mountain States.
BY studies of the rings In very
old trees Prof. Douglass has
traced the influence of sunspot
cycles through many past centu-
ries. The great sequoias indicate
that from 1900 B. G. until after
1000 A. D. the sunspot cycle of
eleven years continued in full
force, but after that It slowly
decreased. At the present time
the mean length Of the sunspot
cycle is reckoned at about eleven
years, but it undergoes pretty
wide variations.
