Meteorological Matters.
My last bulletin gave forecasts OF the
storm wave to cross the continent from
18th to 21st. and the next will reach the
Pacific coast about the 22d, cross the
Western mountains by the close of the
23d, the great central valleys from Gath
to 26th, and the Eastern States about
the 9th.
The weather will continue to average
very warm, and the principal storm
waves and rainfalls will range north
ward. Portions of the cotton belt will
suffer greatly from drouth, while in
some Of the Upper Mississippi Valley
States excessive rains will occur.
A good stage of water for navigation
purposes will continue in the Mississtp-
1pi, Missouri and Ohio rivers.
In the Northern States the time for
fall plowing is near at hand, and the
ground is expected to be in good condl-
ton, with moisture sufficient to give
fall sown crops a good start. Winter
will come late, we will have a late fall,
and the winter crops will make large
growth before the first of December,
therefore where large growth OF fall
wheat is not desired, it will be best to
SOW late.
In the Southern States the weather
will be more favorable to winter garden
ing than last winter was.
Local Forecasts.
Weather changes move from west to
east across the continent, and each local
forecast is made for within $50 miles
east and west OF the magnetic meridian
mentioned, and for all the country be-
tween % and so degrees of north lati-
tude. These local weather changes
will occur within twenty-four hours
before or after sunset of the dates
given:

The Earth's Geology.
If the atmosphere at one time con-
tanned all the carbon now stored away
in the earth, it is claimed that plant life
would then have grown 1000 times more
rapidly than now, because carbon, in the
condition of carbonic acid, is the food
of plants. That may be true, but do
not believe it.
The sunshine is necessary to the
growth OF plant life, but too much sun
shine will kill the plant. Water is nec-
essary to plant life, but too much water
will destroy it. Carbonic acid is neces-
sary to plant life, but let us increase
times, and who will say that it would
not destroy plant life?
The Upas valley in Java is not nec-
essarly a desert, but as no vegetable
grows there, it is believed that the car
bonic acid, which is eighteen feet deep,
is the cause of its bare fields.
Things are not what they seem. The
beautiful evening star we see following
the sun as it sinks in the west is as
bright as any OF the blazing orbs that
are supposed to be on fire, but none of
our astronomers hold that Venus is a
burning world. In fact there Is no
proof that any of the planets contain
more heat than does the earth, while il
is well known that Jupiter and Saturn
shine, to some extent, of their own
light. In fact, the earth shines of its
own light through it's aurora, or north
ern lights, and these lights will yet lie
recognized as Of the same nature as the
inherent light OF Jupiter, Saturn and
the sun.
Every astronomer declares that the
neon is burned out, dead body, de-
void of water, and without an atmos-
phere, a cold and decaying world But
Prof. Proctor says that the moon has
perc eptible influence on our magnetic
needles, and as magnetism is the source
of light and heat, the magnetism, light
and heat of our earth are affected by
the cold, dead moon.
Then it is not neces sary that the sun
be a hot body. for its magnetism is all
sufficient to produce the light and heat
in our atmosphere. The supposed in
herent heat of the sun is what leads
geologists to the theory that the earth
was once burning body, as the sun
now Is.
We cannot have a correct basis for
weather changes till we arrive at cor
rect theory as to the physical forces
and the building OF u universe, and all
my arguments on geology and physical
astronomy are directed toward the over
throw OF the false basis upon which
these two sciences are placed. When
shall have shown the earth could not
have come TO its present condition
along the lines pointed out by astrono-
mers and geologists, l will then put
forth the only true basis on which to
build the sciences OF physical astronomy,
geology, and meteorology.
