| ST. JOSEPH, Mo, May 2.-My last letter
| gave forecasts of a storm wave due TO cross
| the continent from April IS to May ,. The
next will be due 10 leave the Pacific coast
| about the 9th, pass the ROcky-AQegheny
| 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, as its date is at the be-
ginning of the greatest storm year of this
century, which viii be more fully discussed
in my next letter. About April "a the
storm forces were at their lowest ebb, near
the turning point toward greater disturb
ances, and from this onward for more than
year the weather will be intensely inter
esting. Your readers should not miss my
next letter.
BEGINNINGS OF CREATION.
The atomic theory for which / am con-
tending does not admit that our solar Sys-
TEN was organized out of one single
nebulous body shrinking and throwing off
fragments, but contend that as our sun
and stars move continually into new space
never before occupied by them they pick up
newly discovered bodies that have been
forming in space for immense ages, and
thus was our moon and all the moons of all
the planets added to our system. Proof of
this may be found in the comet which has
been so greatly disturbed by Jupiter.
Formerly this comet had an orbit around
which it moved in about seven years. Then
it changed, making revolution IN about
twenty years. Recently it was OBJ
served to be thrown out of its orbit and
held for several months by Jupiter be-
coming one of his moons, and then again it
broke away from that planet and now
its orbit is again changed so that it goes
around the sun in about seven
years. BY the same influence exerted
on that comet by Jupiter our moon,
was caught by the earth. All these well
organized bodies are impelled toward each
other till their electric atnospheres come
in contact, and then they repel. Their
electric fields prevent them from falling to-
gether. These electric laws explain the
conduct of our moon and the cause of
tides. These tides in the oceon are almost
universally misunderstood. 1t is claimed
that it is the moons attraction that causes
the tides This is not true, and there is no
such thing as attraction. What is called
attraction is push from behind and not a
pull from the front. q perfect illustration Of
which is q cork in water falling upward be-
cause of push from behind. The moon is
pushed toward the earth because the ethe-
real elements are more dense on the oppo-
site side of the moon from the earth than
between the two, a result caused by greater
electric tension between the two bodies
which drives out the ethereal matter.
In passing around the earth the moons
electric atmosphere repels the earth and
the earth repels the moon with such force
that an indenture is made in the waters of
the ocean Immediately under the moon

the moon, therefore on the waters Of the
ocean are directly the opposite of what has
been statad by our scientists and is not
pull but push, not an attraction of the
waters but q repulsion. 1t has long been
admitted by these scientists that the food
tide caused by the moon is two hours-l600
miles behind the moon and that low tide is
Immediately under the moon, and the effect
is precisely 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 it passes over the CONT
nents and sinks when passing
over the oceans. This is all in accord with
the laws governing electricity. The cleo
tricul atmosphere 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 &C
count for it, and there are many other
matters which their nebular theory will not
explain.
In former letter 1 explained that the
electric force being greatest over the
equators of the earth, sun and planets,
greater amount of condensed matter falls at
the equator than on any other part of these
bodies, thereby causing all these bodies to
be of greater diameters through the equa-
tors than through the poles. The
electric forces over their eQuators reach
