bulletin gave forecasts of me Storm
wave TO cross the continent from ziih
TO 21st, and the next will reach the
Pacific coast about September /, cross
the western mountains By close o. ma,
the great central valleys from 3rd 20
9th, and the eastern states about the
9th. The warm wave VIII cross me
western mountains about september l.
the great central valleys about the SRI
aud the eastern states about the ON
The cool wave viii cross the western
mountains about the 4th, the great cen
trul valleys about the 9th, and the eastern
states about the Sth.
The most important disturbances of
the month will be described in my next
SUN SPOT STORMS,
In connection with sun spots are bright
elevated spots called faculae. Inc Tor
nier are darkest. the latter the brightest
parts Of the sun. Where one Is found,
thu other is not far away. The spots
are deprcssions, how deep Is not known,
but astronomers say not less than 1000
mile,. while the facuae are elevations
of equal extent My theory Is that the
flculae are the clouds IN the storm
centcrs Of the sun. the low barometer.
where tie clouds are condensed and
spouted high into tle suns atmosphere,
while the spots are the high bar1meters,
corresponding to Our clearing weather
In our earth storms the clouds and
moisture are drawn to the center of the
low barometer where. as they whirl
around It against the hands Of the watch.
they also are carried upwprd In storms
Of great force. rs in the tornado, the
q iuds are spouted To great heights.
Cumulns clouds on earth are much like
facu'ue on the sun. The cumulus clouds
appear IN great mountain.like heaps.
with straight Hat bases. Where the sun
shines on their top they appear like great
mountains capped with snow. They are
always formed In the low barometer aud
indicate grpnt energy. are often accom-
panied 10y severe thunder storms and
great dOwu-pours of rain Cumulus
clouds indicate that the low barometer
Is near. while the cirrus are seen only
near the high barometer. The latter are
much more elevated than the former,
and on the sun near the spots form the
long bright torches, also called fnculac
II we bear In mind that the high and
low barometcrs constitute an inscparu-
be pair through which air and moisture
circulate condensed and Opaque in the
low. expanded and transparent In the
high, gong up In he former and down
In the latter we may better understand
our earth storms and the sun spots.
The names high aud low baromctcrs
are misnomcrs. and convey wrong
ridge Of air increased the weight Of the
atmosphere. therefore because of this
supposed atmospheric ridge or wave. II
was called high barometer, This Is now
known 10 le a mistake. II Is not q deep
or high wave OF atmosphere that causes
the Increased weight, hut down-pouriug
column of air, and consequently the
high barometer Is a depression, and the
'Ow barometer an elevation, exactly cons
trary 10 whit their names imply. The
high barometer ON the sun would cause
q depression and dark spot. while the
low would cause nm elevation and light
spots, al of which agree with the facts
