storm wave Of sth 60 llth t0ok q south
ern route causing hesyy snow as FAR
south - Arkansas and a cold wave ia
the Northwest Twas exactly on time.
Ny last letter gave dates foF storm
wave Of sth 70 18th, 70 cross the coun-
try farther north. The next storm
wave will be due 70 leave the Pscihc
coast aboat the 18th, pass the east
slope OF the Rocky Mountains about
tho 10th, cross the great valley from
loth and isgh, and reach the Atlantic
coast about the 18th. Its center will
probably pass through south Dakota,
Illinois, Pennsy wanna, and strike the
Atlantic about New York City. The
storm will continually increase Ia force
from the time q leaves the Pacific
coast until Il Is we'll out on the Allan
TIC, aud a gale may be expected
on the lakes and on the Atlantic
from New York CITY northeast TO
Labrador The center of the storm Is
the mlidest part OF il. and therefore
expect heavy rams south OF q line
drawn from Lead City, ,. d., 10 Pitts
burg, Pa, and heavy SHOWS north OF
that line and a cold wave throughout
the northern line of states. This storm
wave will lnaugurate the ffty-two days
ram period, and We may expect heavy
rams for about two weeks thereafter.
Those rains will not occur over all the
country. The principal ralnfalls have
been near the sea level for some time
past. and they Will now work slowly
north or inland 10 higher elevations,
and the coming rain period WILL cause
less rainfall near the coast Of the Gulf
States and an increase IN the interior
states, or more elevated sections.
WEATHER AND SCIENCE NOTES.
Wea now in the midst of the hog
cholera period, and the prevalence OF
contagious diseases among man and
the lower ANIMALS. Contagious disea-
ses among children are reported as ep-
ldemic III many places. | have a theo-
~ as 20 cause, and | believe that sta
tistics of contagious and epidemic dis
eases will prove the correctness OF the
| theory. The cause is TO be found in
the aphellon and perihellon OF the
planets, especially of Jupiter. This
| planet is 46 900, 900 of miles nearer the
sun and earth at penheliOn than at
aphelion. When It is nearest the sun
| and earth their atmOspheres expand,
and when farthest from the earth they
| contract. In the one instance the
waters and heavy gases OF the
earth are eyapOrated and lift
ed into the atmosphere and
IN the other they are condensed
and precipitated. These great changes
| IN our earth and atmosphere affect the
| health of man and beast in q manner
| similar TO the effect of the weather,
| preceding a storm, on persons OF DELI
| cate health. The effects OF Jupiter 5
| changes are felt for about two years,
| beginning about one year after aphe-
lion and perlhellon. Commencing
| with 1889. If we count back SIX years,
we strike al epidemic year, and by
| dividing by SIX years we strike nearly
every epidemic year. The exact period
is ) and 9-l0 years. When one or more
| OF the other planets pass these points at
the same time that Jupiter does the
| epidemlcs are greater. Next year will
| probably produce less of these contagious
and epidemic diseases, less hog cholera.
That which causes the epIdemics is the
| same that causes the increase and de-
crease of sun spots. These spots are
| storms on the sun. The facule are the
low barometers and the spots are the
high, and are exactly the some nature
as our storms. They occur on the sun
| north of 30 degrees north latitude, and
south of 80 south latitude, Just as our
storms do that move entirely around
| the earth. our high barometers fol-
lowing and preceding the storm centers
| cause clear weather and the cool or
cold waves. When the high barometer
is passing over us we can then see more
stars than at any other time, and as the
storms on the sun are of the same ma
ture, we see the fscule in the piled
MP clouds of the storm centers
on the sun, and through the
clear atmosphere of the high bar
OmeteTs of the sun we see the dark
sOld part of IL and these are the sun
spots. When Jupiter is at aphelon the
suns atmosphere becomes light and
more shallow, and the sun storms have
greater effect. The clouds being less
Ntt-ots tttt hi-h hdFpIntttin more Itstti-
ily clear away the elements that OBJ
scure the body of the sun. These sun
storms move from the west on the sun,
as 90 our storms Of similar lsutudes,
and as astronomers believe them TO be
stationary they have led to ali error as
90 the suns time of revolution on ITS
axis. The same has led 70 q mistake as
70 Jupiter, which they claim revolves
on its aqis in ten hours.
