The 2lst day of September passed
without the appearance of the equi-
noctial storm. The storm probably oc-
cured week before last. The Leavcn-
worth Times says. The storms that
are due about the time of the sun S
equinoctial passage often occur week
or two before the sun Is on the line in
the autumn, and as mnch later in the
spring. 1t is not difficult to understand
the reason for this if We remember that
owing to the preponderance of water in
the southern hemisphere the centre of
the trade wind system averages a few
degrees of latitude north of the zone to
which the sun is vertical. Hence the
change in atmospheric conditions, which
is due to the passage of the sun from
one hemisphere to the other, does not
necessarily coincide with the time when
the sun is on the equator.
