Captain Penrice. who has been a
close observer of weather conditions
since ho was 20 years old, some 30
yearn ago, declared yesterday that
the weather of the North and
South Atlantic has been changing
rapidly during the last four years,
and *hat within th.- last year It
has undergone a' most phenomenal
transformation
"I hardly know how to account
for It," he said "Some weather
observers believe It Is due to spar
lodlc changes In temperature In
the gulf strtam and the Japanese
t rrent. Others have contended
that It Is entirely due to solar in
fluence. Climate, of coume. is af
