The 30-day lag between the meteor showers and the rain, said Bowen, is accounted for by the time it takes the dust to filter to cloud level from the top of the atmosphere...
...fourth the altar. Over this, rather than the usual square design, he superimposed a circle to form the outer wall; surmounting the wall came a dome 106 ft. in diameter. The stained-glass windows, still to be donated, will be fitted in just beneath the dome, to filter sunlight. Thanks to sunken gardens adjoining the church, more sunlight streams into the lower level.

With a maze of controls he called "the rat's nest," Somer was able to divide a monophonic recording into two separate sound tracks, generally using a high-pass filter to channel the high-frequency violins and winds to the left, a low-pass filter to place the low-frequency instruments to the right. With further gimmicks, such as the adding of reverberation, Somer achieved an effective illusion of true stereo separation...
