WEATHER CYCLES
AUSTRALIAN DROUGHT PREDICTED. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. YIELRi )l RNE, January 6 Mr Douglas Archibald, the English meteorologist, who has arrived here, "predicts the beginning of a general drought about 1920, and that it will probably be severe. His prediction is based on Professor Bruckner’s discovery of alternate cycles of wet and dry weather in waves of 35 years’ duration each. METEOROLOGISTS DIFFER. AIR YY'RAGGE’S YHEYYS. AUCKLAND, January 7. Air Clement YA’ragge thinks that Air Archibald, the English meteorologist, is altogether wrong in forecasting a drought period for Australia. He thinks that under-the-average rainfalls will persist until 1915, but an improvement will begin before the end of that period. Thence till 1920 Australia will have an abundant rainfall. This applies also to New Zealand, but to a less degree.
