All form part of a master wave which repeats itself every 273 months. Within this master period the shorter waves tangle with each other in all sorts of ways. Sometimes ebbc cancel surges. Sometimes surges bump into esch other and the solar heat is notably augmented. But all operate together within ; the 273- month period--or approximately 23 years. This period is Invariably reflected in the' earth's weather. This is the conclusion of fir. Charles G. Abbot, retired secretary of the Smithsonian institution, who is continuing his lifetime of research on solar radiation as a Smithsonian associate. Dr. Abbot's conclusions a r e based on an ektremely laborious statistical analysis of the daily solar radiation measurements at the Smithsonian observatory on the summit of Mt. Montezuma in the Chilean Andes, which are believed to be the most accurate in the . world. The measurements of the "solar constant," an index of the heat received from the sun at the edge of the earth's atmosphere, are extremely delicate, and slight errors render them essentially useless. Analyzing these measurements over many years, Dr. Abbot finds unmistakable evidence of the 14 periodicities. There may be several other ebbs and surges concealed in the figures, he says. AU the periods are divisors of the 273-month period, which is double the longrecognized 11V4-year sunepot cycle. : * Early PrMiag latpravsff tats Plus Trta TltM Though if s some time until December and thoughts of Christmas, Michigan state college foresters advise owners ot Christmas tree plantations to begin their pruning operations now.

This priming during the early season also helps to stimulate additional bud development, causing a thicker more dense and compact tree. The forester believes that a few hours spent in the plantation at this time of the year can yield high returns and better trees.

The mosquitoes and sandflies, however, can be more numerous there than they are even in the tropics. One reason lot the heavy clouds of mosquitoes during the Arctic summer of long daylight is the absence of sharp night chfll such as kills, the young in other regions. Another influence favoring the Arctic pest is the presence of innumerable smaU lakes and puddles. Looking into Forebears Tracing the "family tree" is a favorite activity of Britain's American visitors who have roots in Cngland, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. inquiries at the British travel association reveal. The Society of Genealogists with headquarters in Malet place, London has a library of 20,000 printed books and hundreds of volumes in manuscript. Details ot births and deaths, family histories, wills and parish registers go as far back as 1538, including, of course, some of the first emigrants to America. In the Society's card index are filed millions of names. Cases where a name, or variation of it, cannot be traced are few and far between. Oar Carrying Capacity The actual number of pounds a person can handle safely depends upon the person himself. Physical condition, training, and experience in handling will be the criteria determining how heavy a load any person can handle. A general guide recommended by the United Statei department of labor is: Men should no more than 50 pounds; women, no more than 25 pounds. Many persons should not handls this much. The top limit.for boyi and girls is usually much less. j Splitting Atom The first demonstration pai the United States that the atom can be split and large amounts of energy set free was made almost 10 vears aeo.
