10" approaching the
winning up periods Of the great No,
'enoef storms. All round the
eafin great and destructive storms.
hurricanes and billiards have oc.
CURED and in them Venus has
again proved the power of her
.9uinactial electric currents IL
bringing fierce storms;the moon has
again demonstrated its electric
power when crossing the earth,s
equator, and now 1t is Mercury,s
ume to again tell what il can do in
disturbing the planetary family by
crossing the SUMS equator, which
occurred on the 18th. The effect
was felt to some extent, in the last
storm, but Its principal effect is felt
In the evening up process after it
has disturbed the electric equilibri-
UNI by crossing the suns equator
Its effects are seen principally in
heincrease OF rains, SHOWS, sleets
and foggy, murky weather.
THE NEXT STORM WAVE
will be due to leave the Pacific coast
about the 10th, cross the great val
ley from 18th to 10Th and reach the
Atlantic coast about the Goth. II
will become a furious storm about
the 22ud when it will be on the.
middle of the north Atlantic and at
the same time another approaching
storm will be very severe on the
Pacific coast; a third one will be in
central Asia aud a fourth in central
Europe. Our storm will pass through
the Southern States causing cold
weather north of the storm anu
warm weather south of IL. A very
considerable amount of snow and
rain may be expected from this
storm wave.
| hope that readers Of my letters
will study the laws Of storms which
they will find In my letters for with
out this much Of the benefits to he.
derived from my forecasts will b.
lost. Remember that all storm
waves are whirlwinds, turning from
right by way Of the front TO the left;
the center OF the storm rises and the
wind blows toward it.
A YEAR OF DISASTROUS STORMS.
1 believe that 1892 will be a year
OF the most disastrous storms ex-
perienced in recent times. l DO not
know of a time in the past when
the disturbing forces were so great
as they promise TO be in 1892. From
1850 to 1884 the disturbing ele-
ments were quite active on account
of Uranus being at its equinoctial,
where the earth Is in March, but in
1892 two Of the greatest planets In
the solar system will PASS their
about the same time.
In January 1892 Jupiter will be al
his equin 1etial and also at perihelion,
or about -. 100, 900 miles nearer tie
sarth than when he passed his equi-
noctial in 1856. The equator of
will be toward the sun AMI
his greatest electrical force will bee
felt throughout the earth's orbit for |
six months before and after that |
da.e. In August 1892 Saturn will 1
pass its equiuOctial, where the |
earth is in March, and its full |
force will be felt by the /
SUI and earth for twelve months |
before aud after that date. At that |
time the edge of Saturn's rings will |
he toward the eaIth-the rings Gu
incije with Saturn's oquatOr-and
cannot then be seen except thrOagh 4
Telescopes These two /
great planets - Jupiter is 1890
nmes larger than the earth, while
is nearly as large-will BE-
ON opposite sides Of the sun, with
their equatOrs toward the sun and 4
toward each other. The electric
ity that is thrown of over 1
the equator Of au electrO-dy-
nanio machine will knock over
small objects n hundred feet away,
and from that one Iray imagine
what . powerful influence our earth
will encounter when it comes be-
tween the equator Of two such
-l-ctro-dynam0s rs Jupiter and
which revolve on their axes
- rapIdly As to cause their squ ttIrs
20 move thousands Of times more
rapidly THAI do the equaiOrs Of our
most powerful electro-dynamos.
WEATHER AND SCIENCE NOTES.
In letter from a friend in New
York City it is suggested that:
Electricity is intensified vibration.
Given an adequlte conductor there
5 no loss or expenditure in transit,
or il i not m alter, not Il all but
notion. This 'nconceivahly intense
motion produ es effects so
1 ,Ique as to he confounfed with
.4u<e. In one condition il is called
l-at, but heat ia only an effect Of
he propulsion Of this intense vibra-
ion against the air, produce
ny friction of its atoms, hence the
ire light and the forked lightning.
Magnetism is only another effect,
Produced by the proximity OF the
NO opposite vibratory motions.
can have only two
general motions, hence the intenser
notion OF the two is called the posi-
i've ami draws the negative TO it.
elf. Heat. light, life, magnetism,
.hemical affinities, force, gravita-
ion. etc, are all effects OF this
,ihratory motion called electricity,
which il the infinite, universal
,au=e.o
This theory of electricity is SINH
ar but not the same as that 10 which
hold. The scientific world fail {"
ind a beginning for creation and
efuse 20 recognize more than three
orms Of matter. / believe that
here are at least five forms OF matter
,eyiuning at either Of outer space.
OF which constitute
electricity which condenses TO form
he gases, liquids and solids. In
proof of this. all matter is con
TertIble into electricity. To
yenerate electricity we de-
compose zinc which goes out
through the copper wire. As
,he zinc goes back into electricity il
must continue to be matter and il il
not unreas Inable to believe that the
,inc was originally composed OF
Creation Is now in
progress as much as it ever was.
CONVERSATIONS OF electricity from
The atom and build it into u mole
cule, meteor, comet, moon. planet
and sun, their only difference being
in their size, solidity ard their cleo
tric forces. All these bodies may
grow to be sure.
