The Seasonal points on both Orbits show the Seasons in the Northern hemisphere.
The lines really are broad bands of vegetation irrigated by the canals which run through them, hence the seasonal changes which have been noted in their colour.
The actual result is to bring the seasonal points backward, step by step, through the orbit in a regular measure until in twenty-two thousand five hundred years they return to the place where they were before.
If Mars had no more air over its surface than has an equal area of the earth, it would remain at a temperature so low that such seasonal changes as we have observed could not take place.
The seasonal variation of these accidents is given in the following table, both for those due directly or indirectly to inadequate and improper lighting and those due to other causes.
If the enervating influence of these factors is combined with a greater clumsiness due to cold and perhaps to colds, it is not difficult to account for this type of seasonal distribution of accidents.
The same general type of seasonal distribution of accidents due to other causes is seen to exist but not so prominently.
Certain local industries, whose production is of a seasonal nature, might so arrange their operation that some of their labor might be available to work on the neighboring farms during the rush season.
Before taking up the subject of seasonal variations in San Francisco domestic exchange rates on New York City, it may be well to observe that in a number of respects the San Francisco domestic exchange market is a peculiar one.
If this be so, it would seem that the provisions of the new law for securing one phase of seasonal elasticity--expansibility--are fairly adequate.
Let us, now, take upseasonal or ordinary elasticity, and ask ourselves whether the new notes are likely to possess this characteristic.
Farming business is pre-eminently seasonal in character; the farmers over the greater part of the country need funds most at about the same times of the year, i.
In the absence of the right of issue, it would only be necessary to accumulate in ordinary times a somewhat greater amount of reserve money, to provide for seasonal and emergency needs.
In Argentina the crop-moving season creates, though to a much smaller extent, the same kind of extra demand for currency as in the United States, and tends to make some seasonal variations in discount rates.

A greater variety of occupations in large areas will lessen, though not much, extremes of seasonal variation in demands for accommodation upon the federal reserve banks.
The more the farmer resorts to bank credit as a means of financing his current business the more will he suffer from the seasonalinelasticity of our bank-note and deposit currency.
The successful dry-farmer must know the average annual precipitation, and also the average seasonal distribution of the rainfall, over the land which he intends to dry-farm before he can safely choose his cultural methods.
The adaptation of cultural methods to the seasonal distribution of rainfall will be discussed hereafter.
Under the cloudless sky and dry atmosphere of regions of limited rainfall, the daily and seasonal temperature changes are much greater than in sections of greater rainfall.
Seasonal distribution of rainfall It is doubtless true that the total annual precipitation is the chief factor in determining the success of dry-farming.
Seasonal unemployment is prevalent in this occupation.

The variation in intensity has been explained recently by nonlife mechanisms for Depressio Hellespontica (an area showing one of the greatest seasonal changes) ([ref.
If inorganic interpretations of the seasonalalbedo variation are accepted, then an inorganic interpretation must also be advanced for the polarization variation.
Spawning apparently occurs when river levels recede to the seasonal lows.
Holidays, seasonal events, and anniversaries may thus be anticipated, and special articles may be sent to editors some time in advance of the occasion that makes them timely.

On this also depends the phenomena of seasonal and sexual dimorphism.
