come In warm and lamblikc, hut tho lion
from the northwest will l'a heard from in

he in progress, turning to snow all along tho
northern sile OF the disturbances. By the I'd
or 81 storms will reach and end along the At
lantic, anA general cold will hare followed in
their track across tho whole country. This
condition will continue until about the 9Th.
when the reactionary warmth and change OF
wind currants will set in in the west, result
irg III, progressive .stcrlns during the 9th and
7th. Cold will follow the storms, being felt
generally over tho continent between the 9TH
and 9th.
One OF the most dangerous storm periods for
the month begins about tho 10Th. We namo
the 10th, 1lth 18th and 18th as composing
perodSof general and violent distu,b Dances.
This period is at the electric crisis o: tho
earth s yernal clinox. 1t is regular storm
period, intensified by The equinoxes Of Mars,
earth and the moon's last quarter on the 10th.

e1n and central sections, turning TO violent
bizzaris and snow bIochades in norhel!y re-
r!ons. Wherever the disturbances are ushsred
in with warm, su;try weather, south winds
and electric displays, it will be prudent to
watch for cyclonic movements, which. should
they appear, will break into tornadoes along
| the south side of the low barometer. Ample
time and unmistakable indications will De
given to all in case of dangerous development.
Be prepared for tho general perturbations to
end in cold, ths cold setting il quite early In
the period in the northwest. AS we approach
the 17th warmer weather will be advancing
from the west, and reactionary storms Of
marked intensity will be gathering. The new
moon falls on that date, and. whatever tho
theories and criticisms to the contrary, will
greatly aggravate the tendency to active
storms and earthquakes. Under the existing
circumstances, we lay down the 10th, 17tli
and 18th as reactionary days Of more than
ordinary promise for disturbances. Watch
for them and for the cold wave which will
follow.
All the warnings given above apply
with equal forco to the storm period running
from the 21st to the 25th. In addition to the
normal disturbances naturally to he expected
on these date, the cqu:noxes Of both earth ant
Mars fall on the 22d, and the moons frs
quarter is on the Oath. No one can be practl-
caly informed as to the combination of storm
cauaes centering on and about the 22l, 23l ant
2tth, without entertaining grave apprehension
of many harl and dangerous Developments
No abnormal or unnatural fears should he en-
tertained, rs though sweeping cataclysm
were predicted. We mean no such scnsa
tion balder;lash, but in the regular order o
nature hard storms are apt to occur abou
these dates, calling for such preparation an'
care as may be necessary for the protection o
man and beast. All gradations Of storms
from tho equatorial cyclone, the thunder storn
and the tornado on tho south. to the sweeping
snow storm and blizzard on the north, ar
liable to appear at points along the north an
south parallels Indications will give timel
warning to the eye of the novice. even, as
what Is likely to be in his locality. No on
