ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 25.-We come
now to consider April weather. The most
| important feature of the month will be the
outcroppings of the drouth. April, in most
| places, brings greater rainfall than any
other month of the year, but this viii not
be true of 1892 for the coming April will
! give warning of an approaching drouth by
a decrease in rainfall in limited localities
all over the country, but more noticeably
south of the 45th parallel OF north lati-
! tude.
The month of April viii average warmer
than usual but few sudden sharp cool
spells will occur. The principal storm wib
cross the continent from 21st to 26th and
will be most severe east OF the Mississippi
river. The second greatest storm wave
will cross the continent from 10th to l4th
and will be at its greatest force west of the
Missouri river.
viii again repeat that important as
Economical events viii occur on March IS
and April % that VIII bring unusual events.
Very high tides, electric storms, anincrease
of earthquakes and volcanoes in countries
subject 10 these disturbances, and an in
crease of the storm forces. Watch the
telegraph reports for those dates.
My lsstiletter gave forecasts of the storm
wave due to cross the continent from the
22ud to the 2Sth of March, which is ex-
pected to be dangerous storm from the
9th to the 29th in the Eastern states, and
bad cold wave further west at the same
time. l also gave forecasts of the storm
wave to cross the continent from March %
to April 3, a dangerous storm for the Pacific
coast.
The next storm wave will be due to reach
the Pacific coast about April 8, cross the
western mountains by the close of the 4th,
the great central valleys from 9TH to 9TH,
and the Eastern states the Sth and 9Th
This will become a dangerous storm mid
way of the north Atlantic, on the route of
ocean steamers about the 10th. A cool
wave will follow this low about two days
later
The coming drouth will not be general,
but will damage the cotton more than it
will the corn. The worst OF the drouth will
be in May and June. Colorado will have an
unusually heavy rainfall. l am sending out
number of estimates of the rainfall for
various parts OF the country, by private
letters, but many persons who write me
forget to inclose stamps.
QUoTAhIeSs FROM EMINENT SCIENTISTS.
Whoever admits that the suns magnetism
affects the earth tacitly admits the basic
principles of ctro-pIanetary meteorology.~
Electricians cannot agree among them
selves as to whether there is one or two
kinds of electricity. Newton and Franklin
held that there is but one kind, the positive
being the large quantity and the negative
the small. That is the theory 1 indorse.
Scientists cannot agree as 70 the differ
ence between electricity, magnetism and
gravity. l hold that electricity carries
gross matter; that magnetism is electricity
stripped of gross matter, and that gravity
is an effect of electric and magnetic combi-
nation. Gross matter falls into an cleo
trosphere, hence gravitation. Magnetism
shoots off into space in narrow belt over
the equators Of the sum- earth and planets,
having cozzIe to these bodies as electricity
near their poles. The electric currents de-
post their gross matter in mineral and
vegetable bodies.
Magnetic currents connect each planet
with the sun and with each other and
these magnetic currents move in straight
lines from each of these bodies to every
other. The principal planets revolve
around the sun nearly over its equator. The
magnetic currents, moving from earth to
sun and from sun to earth, come in contact ]
with our atmosphere, ignite its carbon and /
other combus tibles, thereby causing light
and heat. There are no burning worlds,
all suns and their satellites are solid to
their centers and the only fire they ever
knew, causing great heat, were their
burning volcanoes.
Now let Us quote from Prof. R. R. Proc
tor and see how unqualifedlv he admits the
basic principles of electrO-planetary meter
ology. In his ''Other Worlds than Ours"
he says:
SIT may be taken for granted that there
is an analogy between snnspots and the
earth's cycl0nic storms. There appears
every reason to believe that the periodic
changes of sunspots are due to the influence
of the planets on the sun. The sunspots
vary in frequency within period of eleven |
years, and the magnetic daily observations |
of the earth vary within period of the |
same duration. When the sunspots are |
most numerous then the daily vibrations of |
the magnetic needle are most extensive, |
and while the SUMS face IS clear of spots |
the needle vibratss over its smallest daily |
arc
Professor Proctor, in the above, admits 7
that the planets cause the sunspotS, and /
that these sunspots are, in some way, coll
nected With the earth's cyclonic storms,
and thereby he admits the basic principles
of planetary meteorology.
