new idea Of mine-the sublimest have ever
conceived-will save me whole. I am sure ]
am leaving for San Francisco this moment to
test Il by the help OF the great Lick telescope.
Like all OF my moro notable discoveries and
inventions 1t is based upon hard. practical
scientific laws. All other bases arc unsound.
and hence Enthusiastically. ....
In brief. then. have conceived tho stupen-
dous idea OF recognizing the climates OF
the enrth according to the desire OF the popu-
latlons interested. That is to say. will fur
Dish climates to order. for cash or negotiable
paper taking the old climates in part payment.
Of course. at fair discount. where they are in
condition to be repaired ut small cost and let
out for hire to poor and remote communities
not able to afford good climate. and not car
ing for IN expensive one for mere display. My
studies have convinced mo that the regulation
OF climates and the breeding OF new varieties
at will from the old stock is q feasible thing
Indeed. am convinced that 1t hns been done
before: done in prehistoric times by now for
gotten and unrecorded civilizations. Every
where I find hoary evidence OF artificial
manipulation OF climates in bygone tlmes
Take the glacial period. Was that produced
by accident? Not at all: it was done for
money have q thousand proofs Of it. and
WIN some day reveal them. -.
1t Is to utilize the spots on the sun: got cou-
troll OF thcm. you understand. and apply the
stupendous energies which they WELD to
beneficent purposes in the reorgani!ing OF
our climates. At present they merely make
trouble and do harm in the evoking OF cyclones
and other kinds Of electric storms: but once
undcr humane and intelligent control this will
cease and they will become boon to man.
Il have my plan all mapped out. whereby !
hope and expect to acquire complete and
perfect control OF tho sun spots also details
of the method whereby 1 shall employ tho
same commercially: but will not venture to
GO into particulars before the patents shall
havo been issued. I shall hope and expect
to sell shop rights to the, minor countries ut
n reasonable figure. and supply good BUSH
ness article of climate to tho great empires
at special rates. together with fancy brands
for coronatlons. battles. and otlIer great and
particular occasions. There arc billions of
money in this enterprise. no expensive plant
is required and shall begin to realizo in n
few days-in a few weeks ut furthesL1i I shall
stand ren,ly To pay cash Tor Sitetls tho mo-
meflt it is delivered. and thus s,,ve my honor
and my credit Am confident of this.
" would like you to provide n proper outfit
and start north ns soonls telegraph you. BIO
1t night or bo it day. wish you to take up all
tne country SLretcnlnS away from the north
pole on all sides for many degrees south. and
buy Greenland and Iceland at tho best figure
you can get now while they are cheap. 1t is my
intention to move one OF the tropics up there
and transfer the frigid zone to tho equator.
will have the entire arctic circle in the market
as summer resort next year. and will use
the surplusaSe OF the old climate. over and
above what can be utilized on the equator,
to reduce the temperature Of opposition re-
sorts But have said enough to give you an
idea Of tho prodigious nature OF my scheme.
and the feasible and enormously profitable
character Of it. shall join all you happy peo-
pie in England as soon ms shall have sold out
some Of my principal climates. and arranged
with the Car about Siberia.
Meantime watch for n sign from me. Eight
days from now We shall be wide asundcr. for
shall DO on the border Of the Pacific and you
far out on the Atlantic. approaching England.
That day. il am alive. and my sublime dis
covery is proved and established. will send
you greeting. and my messenger shall deliver
it where you are. in the solitudes OF the sea
for will watt a vast sun spot across tho disk
like drifting smoke. and you will know it for
my love sign. and will say Mulberry Sellers
throws us kiss across the universe"
