ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Nov. 2s.-My pre-
dictious OF pleasant weather after the
November northwestern snow storm and
tl;zzard were fully verified and with the
exception of two sharp storms with ac-
eompanying cold waves and two or three
lighter disturbances, l expect very
pleasant December. followed by winter
of very much less severity than the aver
age. l 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
/ rain fall. This will be favorable to West
ern Kansas and Nebraska, Northwestern
Texas, Southeastern Colorado and a
more even distribution in the Atlantic
states. Ii should be remembered that
the high and low barometers of the storm
move eastward near each other, the for
ner gathering up the moisture from
great bodies of water and 1t is the depth
Of the tide in the atmosphere that causes
the moisture to condense INTO rain near
the sea level or enables it to float inland
! to higher elevations. As jupiter nears
! the sun and earth-at its perIhelion-the
| atmosphere deepens and the rains move
| inland. AS these tides reach their ex-
! tremes of low and high Western Kansas
| and Nebraska and similar lands mid way
between the high and low lands have
their dry years.
| COMING STORM WAVES.
A storm wave was due 20 leave the Pa
cific coast about the 2Sth, cross tine Mis-
sissippi valley from 29th to December
land reach the Atlantic about the I'd.
! But the notable storm Of the immediate
| future will be that due to leave the Pa
| citic coast about the 4th of December,
cross the great middle valley from 9th
! TO 18th ana reach the Atlantic coast about
! the Sth. This will be a very fierce storm
and will be accompanied by great va
riety of weather. As Ii moves Eastward
II will probably pass through the middle
part of the United States. and north of
it will occur snow storms and hlizzards,
with heavy rains in the Southern states.
Very cold weather will occur in the ex-
IRENE Northwest.

reference to
LIGHT HEAT AND ELECTRICITY.
If there were any light outside of the
atmo5pheres that surround the stars and
planets, we could not see them, because
space would be rs bright as they are. 1t
is only because they are surrounded by
total darkness that We are able to see
them. Light heat and electricity are in
terchangeuble. Paint an iron rail jet
black let the sun SHINE on it, and it will
generate enough electricity TO turn
light electric motor. Paint the iron rail
white, aud IL will not produce electricity.
The black rail will heat, the white one
will not. Place 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 re-
fleets the sunlight, throws 1t off into
space, the black one will not. and con-
seQuently 1t changes into heat ana cleo
tricity. This electricity may be changed
back to light through the Edison electric
lamp. So with sunlight. When it
leaves the elements that surround the
sun, it meets with elements through
which 1t cannot pass as light, changes TO
electricity, 10 which form ii passes
through space. Reaching the atmo5-
phere II Is bgain light.
The northern light Is caused by cleo
tricity, occurs when the planets are in
position to cause greatest electric sctiv-
ity, and is evidence that our earth is
growing into the condition of sun.
Astronomers say both Jupiter and Sat.
urn, to some extent, shine Of their own
light. The electricity from the dark
side of our earth causes our moon TO give
aud IN the shadow of our earth, other
wife We could not see it. Saturn has
eight moons moving around IL, and they
are to some extent planets belonging TO
Saturn as their sun, as our eight princi-
pal planets belong to our sun. My theory
is that all these began existence by the
bringing together of two or more atoms
through the agency of that all-pervading
force. electricity, which is the motive
power of the univere, the builder of
everything, the principle of life that has
puzzled us so much TO understand. Light
cannot exist away from condensed mat
ter, rs the gases. liquids and solids and
in accord with the principles illustrated
in the above experiments sunlight imme-
diately changes TO electricity on leaving
tine elements that surround the sun aud
passes through dark space Us electricity.
Our atmosphere Is poor conductor of
electricity, and as does the platinum
wire, it heats when ths electricity en-
denvors to pGss through 1t, aud
the electricity changes to light
aud heat. When the light reaches
the earth It is again obstructed and
changes 10 electricity and heat in the
surface of the earth. After circulating
through our earth the electricity not
condensed into matter passes of again
into space. The coudensing of electricity
into more solid form of matter is the
starting poiut of motion and force. This
cond ensation keeps up the motion of the
ether of space. w. aI0eTER.
