GREYTowN, Nicaragua, Jan. 6, 1890. }
Nv Dear CAPTAIN Merry Your favor
of December 18th has been forwarded to
me here. The news of my
arrival in New York in the month OF
December had no more foundation than
that regarding the suspension of work
am glad to inform you that the work is
progressing as satisfactorily as it can be
pushed in the short time since all diff
culties were settled with Nicaragua, the
location of the port and terminus on the
canal on this coast having been finally
decided upon only five weeks since. We
have now over 500 men at work, and
this force will be gradually increased as
the work can be intelligently and econo-
micallv developed. We hope that the
dredges will soon be here, but of course
all things require time. In the mean
while | am going ahead with the con-
struction OF the breakwater, which is
progressing very satisfactorily, the con-
struction of buildings, wharves, hospl-
tails. telegraph, clearing right OF way, and
other preliminary work, including water
works, etc. | have faith in the enter
prise, and the men at the head of it,
otherwise | would not be here. l am
glad to know that you have been working
for this great enterprise, and hope that
you will not lose the interest you have
always shown for it.
Sincerely yours.

THE STORM WAVE.
The Predictions of W. T. Foster Up To
and Including October %.
Nothing Remarkable Connected With the Next
Storm, Only Rain and snow-Will cross
the Mississippi Valley about the 20;h.
Special to the G azette.

Special to the G azette.
ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Oct. l3.-The storm wave
mentioned in my last as being due the
North Pacific about the 18th will probably have
passed the Mississippi valley by the 18th, and
be on the Atlantic coast about the 10Th SO far
as / can see the causes. there will be nothing
remarkable about the next storm wave, which
will probably be nothing more than rain or
snow storm. 1t will be due to leave the Pacific
coast about the 18th. cross the Mississippi val
ley from the 10Th to the 2lst and reach the At
lautic coast about the ed.
About this time the planet Mars will be at
periheion-that is at his nearest approach to
the sun-and many astro-meteorologisfs believe
that rerihelion and aphelion of the planets are
principal causes of weather disturbances, but
do not. Among those who lay much value on
these as urbing points are Professor Smith
OF Montreal, Canada, and Professor Mansiil of
Rock Island, Ill. Each OF them publish
almanacs containing much valuable informa-
ton, and they are Mell-IufCr med, able and con-
scientious gentlemen, but l believe they have
been misied by very simple coincidence con-
nected with the planet Mercury. That planet
crosses the suns equator near where 1t passes
its periheiion an aphelion points, which is not
the case with the other planets. and as the
storms are generally increased about or soon
aft II Mercury passes the SUMS equator, those
meteorologis:s have been led to conclude that it
is the perihelion and apEe.iJn that causes the
storms.
Sometimes their theory appears to be verified
because one OF the planets passes its equinoc-
tlal, or the moon passes the Ell IL s equator
about tine same time that SON of the panets
pass their periheion apneIon points and
then they of course claim q verifcation.
There is no doubt change in the density of
planet in passing from one OF these points TO the
other. The earth's hemisphere expands when
it is at perhelion because IN n the sun is sou tn
OF the earth's equator and over that part If the
earth wnere most of the or is, and the
water rises in vapor it causes the atmosphere 10
expand, and this causes the earth to float farther
away from the sun to its aphelion, and where
the sun is-in summer-north OF the earth's
equator, over the land part Of the earth, and
then the moisture OF the Southern atmosphere is
pre- c plated; the atmosphere cond anses and the
eaIta falls back again to its perbe.ion or nearer
to the earth.
But these changes are too gradual to affect the
storms, and we must look for the causes of sud-
den developments Of storm forces to sudden
causes, which can be found only in the equt-
noxes OF the planets and their passage over the
enuator
