BY LEMUEL F. PARTON. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 3.—As August 13 approaches sclentists throughout America are alert and waiting with sensitive instruments. This is the date for the appearance of a sun spot 3,000 miles long and 20,000 miles wide on the face of the sun. While scientists here say today that the spot probably will not cause static in radio broadcasting, radio researchers also are on the watch, as the subtler problems of radio and terrestrial mag- .| netism have certain overlapping fields, and in connection with the latter the phenomena of sun spots are’ being closely studied. The sun spots appear, roughly, in 11- year cycles, and this is a sun spot year. Usually, but not invariably, there have been periodical extremes of storms or drought, corresponding rather closely | with the coming of the sun spots, and this year has not broken the general rule. The drought during July in the Northern and Eastern States has been the severest in 19 years. Pronouncements Indefinite. Scientists have no definite pronounce- ments to make as to de&endence upon the sun for weather variations, but they are chalking up a vast amount of data, leading possibly to complete under- standing of the relations between weather, terrestrial magnetism and cos- |mic forces from the sun, or even from | the depths of space beyond. Charles Greeley Abbott of the Smith- sonian Institution, one of the leading astrophysicists of the country, has car- ried through profound studies of solar radiation and of sun spots, and holds out the hope that, with continued re- search, definite atmospheric responsive- ness to solar emanations may be estab- lished and that the weather will become much more predictable. It is assumed here that Comdr. Byrd, in the South Polar regions, will be on the lookout for the effects of the big sun spot, as his studies and observations of the heavyside surface and its effect on the radio rebound in the Far South have disclosed that his expedition is splendidly staffed and equipped for work on problems of terrestial. magnetism, inseparable from the study of solar energies. The Carnegie Institute has for munf years carried through minute observations in all parts of the world, including the Polar regions, which it is slowly piecing together in what it is hoped will be an understandable pattern of cosmic and terrestial forces. Scien- tists have regarded the presence of the Byrd expedition_in the South at this time as extremely fortunate and hope that the commander’s findings will fur- ther the work of completing this curious | magnetic picture puzzle. | Old Weather Evidence. | The sun {s a variable star, and sci- entists have long considered the theory | that long ether cycles are an incidence | to ths “cosmic wink.” A vast amount | of work has been done in checking the | correspondence of the advance and re- | treat_of the ice wall, as far south as the Ohio River, with the rise and fall in the flow of the sun. In examining this, as well as establishing the recur- | rent sun spot cycle of 11 years, they | have studied the rings of ancient trees, such as the California redwoods, which |give them a fairly accurate we: | chart for several thousands of years. | Other data is obtained from cross-sec- | tions of the beds of streams, showing | silt deposits in succeeding years, re- | vealing the water level of the stream, and hence the seasonal moisture, in a | given year. | ™ “Both methods appear to show a di- | rect relationship between the number | of sun spots and the number of storms,” | write Prof. Ellsworth Huntington of Yale University, “Meldrum and others have shown a similar relationship in | the case of tropical hurricanes. More- over, the work of Kullmer shows that | not ‘only the number of storms, but | their concentration in certain areas varies in response to sun spots. Hence it appears that changes in solar spot- tedness, even though unaccompanied by any great changes in solar temperature, ,,| may_influence the circulation of the earth’s atmosphere, and thus produce distinct changes of climate.” Dr. Charles Schuchert, —professor cmeritus of ?aleontology of Yale, in writing on_this subject, agrees in gen- eral with Prof. Huntington. but quali- fies his conclusion, as follows: Influence of Sun. “Briefly, then, we may conclude that the markedly varying climates of the past seem to have been due, in part, to periodic changes ih the sun, but mainly to alterations in the topographic form of the earth's surface, plus varia- tions of the amount of heaf stored by the oceans. The causation for the warmer Winter-glacial climates may lie in_oscillations of solar energy.” Scientists were puzzled to find tropical fossils in the polar regions and polar fossils in the tropics. This first led them to helieve that the sun had put in a sort of planetary stagger system, something like Commissioner Whalen's traffic regulations. The axis of the earth was supposed to “wander” through long periods of time. But the trail led steadily away from this “polar wandering” theory, and the sun fi_ solar radiation, terrestial magnetism- cosmic forces theories are now well to the front. The scientists believe they are about to find some secret chambers, where terrestial and siderial secrets are hidden. and they hope that the big. new blemish on the sun, dus August 12, will help to unlock them. (Copyright, 1929.) LIBERIAN SLAVERY DENIED BY CONSUL Official Statement Is Received by Washington Government and Inquiry Promised. By the Assoclated Press. Denial that slavery -and forced labor conditions exist in Liberia was made in an official statement by Edwin J. Barclay, secretary of state of the re- public, submitted to the State Depart- ment yesterday by Ernest Lyon, Liber- ian consul general at Baltimore, and chief diplomatic representative in the | United States. The matter was brought to the at- | tention of the United States Govern- ment because of the publication in American newspapers of charges by Thomas J. Faulkner, an American-born naturalized Liberian, who was an un- successful candidate for the Liberian presidency against President King. P-ufl‘l;ner is at present in the United States.
