ST. JOSEPH, Mo, April 11.-My last let
ter gave forecasts of the storm due to cross
the continent from the 10Th to the Goth. On
the 2lSt the weather will be very uncer-
tain, with probabilities of an extra storm
wave in the Rocky-Allegheny valley at that
time and in the Eastern states about the
I'd. The regular storm wave will be due
to leave the Pacific coast about the 22d,
cross the Rocky-Allegheny valley from the
2'd to the 25th and reach the Eastern states
about the Goth. This storm will be most
severe on the Pacific coast and in the
mountains east of it about the 22d. All this
period, 2lst to 26th, will be very changeable
weather, attended by high winds and sud
den changes of temperature. Following
these storm waves the weather will be cool
for the time of year, with frosts in the
northern latitudes.
WEATHER AND SCIENCE NOTES
If the suns influence caused the planets
to revolve on their axes they would all re-
volvc IN one direction and the planes of
their equators would all extend in one direc-
ton, but this not being the case is an argu-
ment in favor Of my theory that the cleo
trio currents circulating through these
bodies cause them to revolve on their axes
while the clements that revelve with the
sun cause them to revolve around the sun
and the elements that revolve with the
planets caused the secondary planets or
moons to revelve around their primaries
The sun is said to revolve en- its axis in
twenty-five and one-third days. do not
believe this to he correct. Astronomers
have arrived at this conclusion because the
spots on tbs sun revelve around the sun in
that time, bat believe the spots on the sun
are the same as our storms with their high
and low bareneters, and as our storms
move east more rapidly than the earth re-
wolves, If they We're viewed from a neigh
boring planet, our earth would appear to
revolye in less than twentyfour hours, and
as the sun is certainly of the sane nature as
our earth it does not revolve as rapidly as its
spots make 1t appearto. The electric forces
of the sun are very great, and probably cause
its storms to meve with greater relative
velocity than do those Of the earth.
The electric belt around the sun over its
equator necessarily turns with the sun and
near the sun has greater force than far
away from the sun and therefore the
planets nearest the sun would move with
greater velocity than the outer planets.
Nearer the sun the elements are more dense
and farther from the sun they are retarded,
move slower. This is the case with the
earth for near it the atmosphere moves
with the revolution of the earth while far
up in the atmosphere the elements lose this
motion. The astronomers claim that the
smoke from great volcanoes floats west
ward after reaching great attitudes. II
