My predictions OF pleasant wealth
er after that November northwestern
snowstorm and blizzard were fully
verified, and with the exception Of
two sharp storms with accompany
ing cold waves and two or three
lighter disturbances, I expect very
pleasant December, followed by .
winter Of very much les severity
than the average.
1 have been making calculations
Of next years crop weather, and
find that the rainfall will reach
more elevated regions, and therefore
countries like Texas, near the sea
level, will have much less rain;
while elevated countries, like the
Dakotas, will have an increase of
rainfall. This will be favorable to
Western Kansas, Nebraska, North
western Texas, Southeastern Colo
RADIO, and more equal distribution
in the Atlantic States. 1t should
be remembered that the high and
low barometers Of the storm move
eastward near each other, the for
mer gathering up the moisture from
great bodies of water, and it Is the
depth Of the tide in the atmosphere
that causes the moisture to condense
into rain near the Sea level or en-
ables it to noat inland to higher ele-
vations. As Jupiter-near the sun
and earth at its perihelion-the at
mosphere deepens and the rains
move inland. As these tides reach
their extremes Of low and high,
Western Kansas and Nebraska and
similar lands midway between the
high and low lands have their dry
year,.
COMING STORM WAVES.
A storm wave was due to leave
the Pacific Coast ABOUT the 2sth,
cross the Mississippi Valley from
the 18th to Dec. LIST, and reach the
Atlantic shout the 2ud. But the
notable storm Of the immediate fu.
ture will be that due to leave the
Pacific Coast about the 4th Of De-
cember, cross the great middle
valley from 5th to 7th and
reach the Atlantic coast about the
Sth. This will be q very fierce
storm and will be accompanied by a
great variety Of weather. As it
moves eastward it will probably
pass through the middle part Of the
United States, aud north Of it will
occur snow storms and billiards
with heavy rains In The southern
states. Very cold weather will &C.
cur in The extreme northwest.
A number Of letters have reached
me recently inquirlng about my
theory in reference 10
LIGHT, HEAT AND ELECTRICITY.
If there were any light outside of
the atmospheres that surrounded
the stars and planets we could not
see them because space would be as
fright as they are. 1t is only be-
cause they are surrounded by total
darkness that we are able to see
them. Light heat and electricity
are interchangeable. Paint an iron
sail jet BLACK let the sun
shine on IL and IL will
generate enough electricity to turn
a liz bit electric meter. Paint the
iron sail white and 1t will not pro-
due electricity. The black sail
will heat; the white one will not.
Places two cotton kerchiefs, one
white the other black, on the snow,
the black one will melt into the |
snow, the white one will not. The
white reflects the sunlight, throws
it OFT into space, the black will not,
and consequently it changes into |
heat AMI e,e :tricity. This electrici- |
ty may be changed back to light |
through the Edison electric lamr.
So with sunlight. When 1t leaves
the elements that surround the eun
IL meets with elements through
which 1t cannot pass ss light,
changes TO electricity, in which form
1t passes through space.
The northern light Is caused by
electricity, occurs when the planets
are In position to cause greatest
electric activity and in evidence
that our earth is growing into the
OF q sun. Astronomers
say that both Jupiter and Saturn,
70 some extent, shine of their own
light. The electricity from the
lark side Of our earth causes our
moon to give of faint light when
he moon Is eclipsed In the shadow
,f our earth, otherwise we could not
zee 1t. Saturn has eight moons
around 1t and they are TO
,ome extent planets belonging to
saturn rs their sun, as our eight
principal planets belong to our sun.
Wy theory Is that all these began
existence by the bringing together ,
4 two or more atoms through the
gency of that ali-pervading force
lectricity, which Is the motive
over OF the universe, the builder Of ,
verything, the principle Of life
hat has puzzled US 50 much to un- ,
erstand. Light cannot exist away ,
rom condensed matter, as
