The Weather and Science Notes
If the suns influence caused the
planets TO reyolve on their axes, they
would all revolve IN one direction and
the planes OF their equators would all
extend IN one direction, but this not
being the case, is an argument IN favor
OF my theory that the electric currents
circulating through these bodies cause
them to revolye on their axes, while
the sun and the elements that revoiye
with the planets cause the secondary
planets or moons 10 revolve around
their PRIMARIES. The sun Is said 10
revoive on It's axis in twenty-five and
one.tnird DAYS. / do not believe this
to DC correct. Astronomers have ar
rived at this conclusion because the
spots Oh the sun revolve around the
sun IN that time, but believe the spots
on the sun are the same as our storms
with their high and low barometers and
AS our storms move east more rapidly
than the earth revOlves, If they were
viewed from neighboring planet our
earth would appear to revolve in less
than twenty-four hours, and as the sun
is certainly OF the same nature as our
its spots make it appear to. The elec.
tr,c forces OF the sun are very great and
probably cause It's storms TO move with
greater relative velocity than do those
OF the earth.
Rapid Planet Revolutions.
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, aud there
fore the planets nearest the sun would
move with greater velocity than the
planets. Nearer the sun the elements
are more dense, and farther from the

decoration for the FIRST table. tulips for

and lily -of-ths-vslley for the fourth
