Avenue National 8421 PLANETS HELD KEY TOHEAVY RAINFALL Former Columbia Professor Says Magnetic Cycles Line Up With Varves. By the Associated Press. PASADENA, Oalif.,, June 20.—Look to the planets for the key to rainfall, Hal- bert P. Gillette, civil engineer of San Marino, Calif, ‘and former Columbia University professor, told the American Association for the Advancement of S o n they their Gatling on sun and down comes the deluge, he sald, explaining b{hmmu guns he meant the axes of the plan- ets’ magnetic flelds. His theory is that it is not the sun spots that make the wet weather cycles on earth, but that both the sun spots and the heavy rainfall on earth are caused by the ry conditions. Gillette said the magnetic cycles of the planets line up in perfect agreement with the clay deposits, or varves, in geo- logical formations. The thickness of the varves indicates the amounts of clay deposited year by year in a given formation, and that in turn testifies to the relative amount of rainfall running over the drainage surfaces. Rings Indicate Rainfall. The engineer also said the thickness of these varves corresponds to the rela- tive thickness of the rings shown f 1—PART ONE. Predicts Another lu.Ap. greatest supercycle of all, which he inclines to regard as the cyele, 15 of 21,500 years, ere might be another ice age for the earth in 10.000 years or so. A subeycle of this is a period of 1,- 774 years, which fits well into the his- toric vecord of great floods in 450 B. C. and 1350 A. D. As for the present there will be 300 years more before the dry maximum is reached. ' Gillette sald he approached the sub- Ject first from the point of view of en- ineering, to determine rainfall‘ possi- ilities in relation to building dams. He said the oldest clay varves are found in the oil shales of Colorado, giving a rain guage record back for 300,000 years. Research Best Security.
