Colonel Rock said the country owed more to Lord Haldane for who is said to be one of the creating the Territorial Foree and highest authorities in the world on bringing order out of chaos than to the study of the sun's spots, mysany other civil Minister of War. that the effects of the sun's spots for the present cycle are expected to be brought to an end this year till the next cycle, but it has been calculated that the same spots will attain their maximtim site about next summer, when their space will be bigger than the record space of 1017, indeed over twenty times as big as the earth itself. This will seriously affect the electricity and magnetism oa earth and bring about the sharpest--meteorological changes known these 30 or 30 years in the shape of extreme heat and cold. Another striking phenomenon will take the form of the wholesale breakdown of the telegraph and telephone services, both wired, and wireless. The recent, jarring of the radio and telephone messages by the mingling of strange sounds is attributed to the sun's spots.
