from 18th to 18th, aud the next will
reach tho Pacific coast about the 10Th,
cross the western mountains bv close
Of the 10th, the great central valleys
from 18th to 10Th, and the caste II
states about the Goth.
This storm will be of very consid.
cradle force, and will increase as j,
moves eastward, developing its greatest
force east of the Mississippi river.
This disturbance will inauguratc n
OF u most severe storm periods, and
will appear to have inaugurated winter
before the winter %solstice has arrived.
The temperature will run to extremes,
very warm and very cold for the time
OF year. The temperature Of the sec
ond and third weeks Of November will
20 below the general average.
The warm wave will cross the west
crn mountains about the 18th, the
great central valleys about the 18th,
and the eastern states about the 10Th.
The cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the 18th. the grea,
central valleys about the Goth, and
the eastern states about the I'D.
More severe weather than usual will
occur from November 9th to Deem
Der 9th, and Immediately following
this period q severe cold wave may be
expected. Winter storm waves will
cross the country about November 25,b
and December LIST and 7th. Particu.
lars next week.
PROPS. HARRINGTON AND ABBf.
For twenty-five years Prof. Clevc.
land Able has been the autocrat Of
the national weather bureau. His
ability is not questioned, but having
ability does not prove the CORRECTNESS.
Of ones theories. Discussions through
the public press as to whether heat o,
electricity is the original moving force
Of weather changes is making rapid
inroads on the rigid orthodoxy Of
Prof. Abbe's theories.
IL this annual report, Prof. Harring-
ton, chief of the national weather bu.
reau, referring to the recent work Of
Prof. Bigelow, and q bulletin Of which
the latter is the author, says: 'ln
this bulletin a general account Of the
relations thought to exist between
terrestrial and cosmical magnetism
and certain meteorological phenomena
is given.
The result is that the radiant field
of sunlight is to be regarded as a mag.
netic field in which q spherical con
duc,ing magnet is rotating in the
known astronomical conditions; that
the earth is thus acted upon by a
couple tending to pull the north mag
netic hemisphere toward, and to push
the south magnetic hemisphere away,
from the sun; that the plane Of sym
metry, passing through the center Of
the earth and thus not affecting i'll
axial rotation, is itself turned west
ward, by about twenty-three degrees
in the northern hemisphere and abou'
eight degrees in the southern from
the meridian Of the sun, that the lineI
