COMING STORM WAVES.
A ftorm wave was due 70 leave the
Pacific coast about the 2Sth, cross the

about the ID. But the notable storm
of the immediate future Will be due TO

will occur snowstorms and blizZards,
with heavy rams IN the Southern States.
Very cold weather Will occur IL the ex-

A number of letters have reached me
/ recently lnqulrng about my theory IN
reference TO
LIGHT, HEAT AND ELECTRICITY.
If there were any light outside of the
atmospheres that surround the stars
and planets, we could no+ see them,
space would be as bright as they are.
/ 1t is only because they are surrounded
by total darkness that VIC are able %
see them. Light, heat and electricity
are interchangeable. Paint an iron ran
! Jet black, let the sun shine omit, and 1t
will generate enough electricity to turn
4 light electric motor. Paint the iron
rail white and il will not produce cleo
| tricity. The black rail will heat; the
white one will not. Place two cotton
handkerchiefs, one white, the other
black, on the snow, the the black one
will melt into the snow, the white one
Will not. The white reflects the sun
hight, throws il Oft into space, the black
viii not, and consequently it changes
into heat and electricity. This cleo
! tricity may be changed back into light
through the Edison electric lamp. So
with sunlight. When it leaves the ele-
ments that surround the sun it meets
with elements through which it cannot
pass as light, changes to electricity, IN
/
changed TO light.
The northern light is caused by
electricity--occurs when the planets are
| in position to cause greatest electric
| activity, and is evidence that our earth
! Is growing into the condition of a sun.
Astronomers say that both Jupiter and
! saturn. to some extent, shine OF their
own light. The electricity from the

Saturn has eight moons moving around
