ST. JOSEPH, No, March 2s.-My last let
ter gave dates and detailed forecasts OF the
storm wave to cross the continent from
March 80 to April g. The next will also be
an important disturbance, both as TO its
force and the large amount of rainfall that
will accompany it. 1t will be due to leave
the Pacific coast about April 1, cross the
RocEy-AEegLery valley from 5th to 9TH and
reach the Atlantic coast about the Sth. This
storm will be Ut its greatest force about the
time il reaches the Mississippi river and
will cause dangerous gales on the lakes, in
Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York
about the 9TH. Heavy rains may be eN-
pscted in the Southern states and in the
country southeast of the great lakes, be-
tween them and the Atlantic coast. The
center of the low barometerof this disturb
ance is expected to keep well to the north,
and the cool wave and frOsts following it
will rot damage vegetation south OF the
fortieth degree of north latitude.
SCIENCE AND WEATHER NOTES.
Cause Of motion is the great query.
Whence comes the power that moves mat
teri Before progress IS possible this point
must be determined. Scientists say that
sunlight and heat cause the earth - reTolve
on its axis, but it IS not conceivable how
this can be, for sunlight would have as
much force in turning the earth one way as
another. Why does the earth move around
the sum- These same scientists say that it
is because Of its momentum impaired to il
in the beginning, which has not yet spent
its force. cannot accept any such Z theory
We make steam which is pushed out by
the force in the boiler through pipes as con-
ductors. That gaseous, transparent steam
is rs clear Us the atmosphere and has no
appearance of water, from which it came
Il IS Us invisible rs electricity, and we only
know Of ii by is force and after L has
changed both itself and the atmosphere into
a fog 6y coning in contact with the utter
Steam and the atmosphere have similar
qualities, and we know that coudensations
Of the atmosphere constitute water.

IN the Ziuc battery we have similar
cause Of force. The zinc is changed TO cleo
tricity requires more space and, therefore,
is pushed out on the copper wire couduc-
tors, whereas, if the zinc was being formed
out of CONVERSATIONS Of electricity 1t would
require less space. and the outside matter
would close in TO fill up the space vacated
force. So we have force both by changing
solid matter to electricity and by changing
electricity to solid matter. We know that
every form of matter may be changed into
electricity and why not electricity change
into every form of matteri Every atom Of
matter is attended by an Electric atmos-
| phere, and when matter NJ current Of

According to this theory our sun was
formed in space beginning with an atom
whose electric current condensed into mat
ter and whose electric atmosphere or at
traction drew to it other atoms forming a
molecule which continued to grow, both by
condensing electricity and by drawing ether
bodies OF matter to it, the current of elsAl

we have the cause OF all motion. The &lec-
tricity condenses into matter that god u
, build the sun, and the ether Of space 6fa
denses to renew that electricity, thus origi-
mating all the force or motive power that is
to be found in the universe, and this very
principle is the origin Of all
vegetable and animal life. In this
am not controverting any religious idea.
The preacher still has an abundance Of
ground on which to stand. The constant
law which thus organizes matter is beyond
the power Of science TO explain.
