A communication from the MayOr Of
Buffalo made inquiry if person calling
himself Prof. &. A. Johnson. philan-
;hropist, professional astronomer, lee
turer, literary and educational writer,
editor, publisher and philosopher. was
4 member of the Lime-Kiln Club. The
professor lately delivered lecture in
Buffalo, in which he sent forth the fol-
lowing utteranceS:
Il am acknowledged to be the great
est scientific man of the age.
wind is always in motion. Ii has
place where it is located when it Is not
ut work.
II don't care snap of my finger for
other scientists opinions. am an au-
thority i'm myself.
The wind is made of a material al
WAYS in existence. and not. Is some
people think. created for the moment.
There are twelve invisible suns
which have shOne in great brilliancy in
the past and in ten years they will
shine again.
The hiding place of the wind is in
the interior of the ocean, three hun
dred thousand feet from the surface.
If YOU want to ask questions about it
YOU can; have settled it.
There is more animal life in exist
ence than good many of us have been
able 10 understands; the NITROGEN and
hydrogen gases extend higher than
scientists have had time TO look into.
Il have found within a thimbleful of
salt water more living insects than
there have been human names created
since the beginning of the world. IL
other men have not looked into this -
| have. il : not nv fault.
Scientific men tell me that wind is
made of atoms and air force coming in
contact with currents. If scientific men
knew half rs much about wind as do,
they would not make this mistake.
When | saw their confusion came to
their rescue.
Wind Is composed of volcanic gases
and atmospheric matter located in the
interior of space which i set in motion
by aStronomic force caused by the TO-
tation of the sun. which coming in con-
tact with the countcr-currents puts the
wind in motion in places where it is
hid.
II may be a modest man and | may
not. but don't believe there is a man
in the city of Buffalo that knows as
much about science as / do. If there
had been. this subject would have been
explained long ago. But it has been
left for me TO settle forever the ques-
lion where the wind comes from"
The Secretary was instructed 10 reply
TO the effect that the professor was
neither a member of the club. nor did
that body indorse his opiniOns.-De-
