Comet Into Moon.

| ST. JOSEPH, Mo, May My last letter
| gave forecasts of storm wave due to cross
| the continent from April IS TO May 2. The
| next will be due to leave the Pacific coast
| about the 9th, pass the Rocky-Allegheny
| valley from the 10th to the 18th and reach
| the Atlantic coast about the 18th. This
| storm will cause an increase of foggy and
| cloudy weather. with cooler weather than
| usual about two days after the storm has
| passed by. The force of this storm is not
| expected to be as great as that OF the storm
| preceding it, but the rainfall, taking the
| country over, will probably be greater.
! Nothing unusual or startling IS expected OF
| this disturbance, IS its date is at the be-
| ginning Of the greatest storm year OF this
century which will be more fully discussed
| in my next letter. About April "A the
! storm forces We're at their lowest ebb, near
| the turning point toward greater disturb
| ances, and from this onward for more than
| a wear the weather will be intensely inter
esting Your readers should not mss my
next letter.

is preciseir as though a great solid
ball was rolling through or on the
water These facts ought to make it
clear that the tides are not caused by at
traction and that the moon and earth are
prevented from falling together by the
electric surroundings of each. The weight
of the moon causes a depression in the
waters of the oceans and after the moon
has passed on the reaction of the water fol-
lowing the depression causes the high tide
A very important fact in connection with
this idea is that the moon wabbles up and
down as it passes over the land part of the
earth and the seas. Like wagon running
over rough road the moon rises
when II, masses over the CONT
nents and sinks when passing
over the oceans. This is all in accord with
the laws governing electricity. The cleo
tricnI afmosnhere more readily sinks into
the waters than into the continents. Astron-
omers have observed this strange conduct
of the moon. but have not been able to ac-
connt for il. and there are MANY other
matters which their nebular theory win NOT
explain.
