Predicts Another Ice Age.
The greatest supercycle of all, which
he inclineS to regard as the ice age
cycle, is of 81 500 years. Gillette sug-
gested there might be another ice age
for the earth in 10000 years or so.
A subcycle OF. this Is a period of l.
TIA years, which fits well into the his
toric record of great floods in 45O b. C.
and 1850 A. D. As for the present there
Will be 800 years more before the dry

Gillette said he approached the sub
ject first from the point OF view of en-
gineering, to determine rainfall poSsi-
bilitieS In relation to building dams. He
said the Oldest clay varves are found in
the oil shales Of Colorado, giving a rain

PLANETS HELD KEY

Former Columbia Professor
Says Magnetic Cycles Line
Up With Varves.

PASADENA, Calf. June 20.---Look to
the planets for the key to rainfall, Hal
bert p. Gillette, civil engineer of San
Marino, Calf, and former Columbia
University professor, told the American
Association for the Advancement Of
Science today.
When they train their Gatling guns
on sun and earth down comes the
deluge, he said, explaining by Gatling
guns he meant the axes of the PLAN
cts magnetic fields.
His theory is that 1t Is not the sun
spots that make the wet weather cycles
on earth, but that both the sun spots
and the heavy rainfall on earth are
caused by the planetary conditions.
Gillette said the magnetic cycles Of
the planets line up in perfect agreement
with the clay deposits, or varves, in geo.
logical formations. The thickness of
the varves indicates the amounts of
clay deposited year by year in a given
formation, and that in turn testifles to
the relative amount of rainfall running
over the drainage surfaces.
Rings Indicate Rainfall.
The engineer also said the thickness
OF these varveS corresponds to the rela-
tive thickness of the rings shown in
