KEPT OF SUMS

ForeCaSting.
BY DAVID DIETZ.
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

Rhythmic changes in the amount
CT energy radiated by the sun are
responsible for changes in the wea-
Their. DR.. c. G. Abbot. secretary
of the Smithsonian institution, has
concluded after thirty years study
of solar radiation.
DR.. Abbot began measurements of
the solar constant, the amount of
energy radiated by the sun, in 1902.
BY 1910 he had perfected an in
strument for this purpose, the sill
yer-disk pyrheliometer, standardized
copies of which the Smithsonian
institution has now furnished for
more than seventy obServatories.
The Smithsonian institution main
tains three mountain stations, where
daily measurements of the solar con-
slant are made by trained observers.
These are located on Table noun
tain, California; Mt. Montezuma,
Chile, and Mt. St. Catherine, peak
near Mt. Sinai in the Sinai desert.
It also maintains an astrophySical
laboratory in Washington, D. c.,
where the work of analyZing the OBJ
servationS of the distant stations is
carried on, and correlated with ex-
detrimental research under the direc-
ton of Dr. Abbot.
Analyze Solar Statistics
Recently DR.. Abbot completed the
construction of the periodometer,
a machine which analyses solar sta
tisticS for periods Of cycles Be
cause the machine almost seems to
think. it has been nick-named the
brass brain"
The average value of the solar
constant, DR.. Abbot has found, is
1874 calories per square centimeter
per minute. "a calorie, it will be
remembered, is the amount Of heat
necessary to raise a cubic centlmeter
of water one degree, CentigradeO
The daily value, however, t1uctu-
ates The maximum fuctuatlon
since 1920 has been about 4 per cent,
DR.. Abbot says.
If monthly averages are struck,
the variation is less, he adds,
amounting to about 2.8 per cent
since 1920, but only IL per cent
since 1926.
Examining these variations for
cycles, DR.. Abbot says that he has
found cycles of SO, As, Is, IL and
eight months, respectively.
Forecasts Worth Millions
The first appearance of
correlation between variations IN
the solar constant and the weather
was found in 1917. In that year, Mr..
H. H. Clayton, chief forecaster OF
the Argentine government, wrote TO
Abbot that he had found relations
between the Smithsonian solar OBJ
servations and the weather of the
world.
DR.. Abbot was so impressed with
this that he instituted the daily
measurements which are now car
ried on at the three observing sta
lions.
Within the last few years, DR..
Abbot believes, he has found a re-
lationship between the weather OF
Washington, D. c., and the changes
in the solar constant.
He hopes that continuation of the
studies will eventually lead to sat-
isfactory methods of long-range
weather forecasting. Such forecast
ing would be worth millions of dol
lars to agriculture, industry and the
shipping business.

Otto Giffen, president of the Second
National bank here, told today how
renewed confidence in banks had
resulted in one customer re-deposit-
ing money that he had boarded
more than twenty years.
Griffin said a few days after the
banking holiday his bank teller re-
ceived 81 400 in currency done up in
the same wrappers that held it when
it was withdrawn from the same
bank in 1911.
The money, he said, was moist
and moldy, apparently having been
hidden in a rain barrel or cistern.
