WEATHER FORECASTS
4 . Every community—city as well as rural—has its weather prophet. And these oracles never have been as active as they are to-day (says "Popular Science Monthly"), probably because we know more about the. weather than we ever did. Eight now, the widest attention has been attracted by the prediction of a Chicago amateur that 1927,
like 1816, will be without any summer. He is supported by an "ocean meteorologist," who asserts that there will be so many cold spells in the middle of 1927 that crops will be spoiled, causing a loss of hundreds of millions of do Jars. Even H. H. Clayton, noted meteorologist and former official weather forecaster for the Argentine Eepublic, basing his prediction on: the sun's radiation, says, "There is good reason to believe the summer of 1927 will be a season of extreme cold."
