The Wedding of the Rose

(Jessel, arr. Willoughby)

A prediction that the sun will be colder for the next two years, with the possibility that the earth will be anected in a way as yet unknown, has been issued by the Smithsonian Institution.

For the next 24 months, says Dr. C. Abbot, the Secretary of the In- stituion, the heat that which issues

from the sun and mades life pos aible on earth will be somewhat below normal. This does not neces- sarily mean that the earth will have 12294-5-two cold years, for earthly weather
