Meteoric Dust

Causes Heavy World Rains

Canberra, Dec. 18.

An Australian scientist has put forward the theory that periodic heavy rains in different parts of the world are caused by meteoric dust.

The External Affairs Minister, Mr Richard Casey, today described "this most remarkable theory" as one that may have high importance for mankind.

Its author is Dr E. Hogg Bowen, a director of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation.
