/ This is the same storm wave thai
passed the Mississippi valley from June
Sth 70 10Th, but this time Il will not bs
accompanied by disturbing influences
that ate known 10 be such. But there
are . few unknown Influences which
sOnlctiuncs come unto US umhcraided
The cause OF this storm wave IL unknown
Ito me. know there are four storm
waves moving around the earth FROM
west 10 east, but five and eigllt-tenths
days apart, each one making . circuit ol
the earth IN about twenty three days,
but | do not know what influence causes
these storm wsycs. Prot. Tice believed
them TO be caused BY m inner mercurcal
lplxnet which astronomers call Vulcan
but have not been able 10 satisfy my
own mind as 10 that. The storm waves
lido move," however, just as ! havs ex-
lplaincd.
There are other unknown inhuences
besides the supposed Vulcan. and . few
lmen Of note have declared that . second
lmoon revolves around our earth. This
moon, they claim, Is . dark moon, be-
cause Il has no pure atmosphere.
As proof they claim that the moons
lperigec aud apogce-the point where u
approaches nearest. aud the point where
liz recesles farthest from the earth would
not constantly change II there were no
other satellite 10 our earth. Also that
there have been eclipses Of the sun and
moon which cannot be accounted for
upon any other hypothesis. In July,
1879, they claim. the sun was cclipsed ~
IiuIl moon, and many othcr cclipscs are
recorded in history the cause Of which i
unknown.
The dark moon, IL IL claimed, has an
composed OF carbon gasses.
such o our atnosphere, perhaps, con-
Itsined before the carbon was prccipit.
|atcd and condensed into our coal meas-
lures.
I en- not defendant o. these theories
and can only reply 70 them by saying II
don't know" But from we'll known o.
fects on our atsnosphere, tho aurora,
''sun-dogs," "moon-dogs,n the complex
movements Of our moon IL lie orbit, etc.
II know there are undiscovered causes
similar 10 the known planetary In
fluence. w. r. FosTER.
