SUN SPOTS.
THEIR EFFECT ON WEATHER. QUEENSLAND - SCIENTISTS VIEWS. One of the main factors in the accurate forecast of weather conditions, according to Mr Inigo Jones, director of the Bureau of Seasonal Forecasting in Queensland, is solar observation. Mr Jones has made.a close' study of the subject. The dry weather prevailing at Canberra, he said, falls in exactlv with the famous cycle of Bruckner, the great Viennese meteorologist—a cycle that he claims was also referred to by Bacon in his “Novum Organum.” “Sun spots,” he added, “are easily the best clue to solar variations, all other forms of solar magnetic activity running parallel to them, and th’e sun spot minimum, or period of least sun spots, seems to set up a new chapter in climatic events. Certainly all great Australian drought® have been closely connected with them.”
