COLD WINTER PREDICTED
METEREOROLOGICAL DISCOVERY NEW LUNAR CIRCLE Press A*sociation—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, July 29. (Received July 30, at 8.55 a.m.) The Paris correspondent of the ‘Morning Post’ states that M. Bigourdon, an astronomer, has communicated to the Academy of Science a remarkable meteorological mscovory made by Abbe Gabriel, a professor of mathematics at Caen, of a lunar cycle of 744 years, divided into two periods of 372 years, or four of 186, comprising the definite relations of the lunar orbit with sun spot variations. Ho claims that these periods are related to the recurrences of excessive winter and summer temperatures, instancing the historically recorded severest winters of 938, 1359, 1544, 1917, also 1325, 1508, 1694, and 1830; hence he predicts very severe cold in 1926, based on the historical cycle 995, 1553, and 1740.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
