APPROACHING STORMS.
4 Forecast Of Them by Professor
Foster.

Correspondence ofthe DE>EREr NEWS.
Heretofore promised to give in
this letter tine dates for one Of the
greatest storms Of the year. 1 have
already stated that the tropical hur-
ricanes would increase in force
from the first OF the month to the
ninth, when one Of them will not be
far from the Gulf Of Mexico, but
these tropical hurricanes are entire
ly distinc. from the continental
storms aud more in an entire
ly different circuit. The con-
tinental storm will lie due to
leave the Pacific coast about the 9Th,
cross the Mississippi valley from
9Th TO Sth aud reach the Atlantic
coast about the 9th. Ii will be at
its greatest force on the northeast
Atlantic coast about the 9Th and
will be n very dangerous storm. /
would advise all to keep Off Of the
seas about that time. About that
time the storms will be very severe
all around the earth and while our
set Of storms are crossing the AIissis-
sippi valley the other three storm
waves that belong to this latitude
will be about the middle Of the
north Atlantic, in eastern Europe
and on the north Pacific. The three
systems Of hurricanes, one on the
north Atlantic, one on the north
Pacific and one on the Indian ocean
will all show increased activity.
Each Of these systems revolves
around the center Of the oceans to
which they belong.
Following the storm Of the 9Th to
sth viii be cold wave the force Of
which viii depend on the location
Of the tropical hurricane. In the
extreme northwest / expect n bliz-
Eard, but 1 cannot say how far south
II Will go. The causes OF these
unusual disturbances are: Venus at
Its equinOctial on the Sth and the
moon crossing the earth's equator
on the 9th. The influence Of Venus
covers all the first half |
Of the month while the moons in
iluence covers only three or four
days. On the Sth the equator Of |
Venus viii be toward the sun In
creasing the suns electrical forces |
which IN turn causes an electrical
agitation throughout the solar sys-
tenn. This does not change the time
Or direction Of the storms, only in
creases their force. This Venusian /
disturbance would develop sun
spots were Jupiter at his disturbing
point, but rs he Is not, there will be
but few sun spots. The earth was
passing the equator Of Venus from
he Goth to the 25th, causing the
great storms of that period.
As before stated November will
be noted for its great storms. Mer-
Jury VIII pass its greatest disturb
ng point on the 18th and will affect
he storms Immediately before and
liter that date. BY the influence o
Mercury and Venus on the earth the
Weather differ very much, the for
cer having a tendency TO murky,
Amy weather, while the latter Is
more violent and frequently brings
he tornado, the hurricane and the
We may not expect
ettled weather again till after the
9TH. IL must be remembered, how
yer, that the storms 10 not cover
he whole continent, but when they
ross the southern part, cool, fair
FEATHER, is the rule for the
orth; and when they cross
be north part, warm, fair
'eather occurs in the south. Look
NJ for bad weather in the valley
etween the Allegheny and Rocky
from Nov. 9th to 9th, a
angerous storm on the Atlantic
12st, great hurricane ON the Gulf
Mexico, and a blizzard in the
orthwess. w. T. FOSTER.
