them He called attention to the fact that this backward weather for this season of tho year more remarkable than the winter of 00 when there was practically no snow until in February and then only a small amount Discussion then drifted to the the ory of the late Prof S P Langley that the aims heat was variable to the extent of 10 per cent this probably tine to increases or decreases in the great quantity of heavy mist about the sun which forms the corona This mist or atmosphere is supposed to have a depth of about miles and the surface of the sun according to some theories changes its shape in a period of eleven years Discussing this subject Director said It is true that a theory was an by the late Prof Langley that the suns heat is variable to the extent of 10 per cent This has not yet been fully confirmed and more over it would be very difficult to ac count for tho present spell of un seasonable weather even if the theory were confirmed for in this case it would be necessary to prove that this condition prevailed over the whole surface of the earth And again on this theory the present cold weather should be duplicated next year at this time and the year following because if
