ST.. JOSEPH. Mo-, August my last
bulletin gave forecasts Of the storm wave
to cross the continent from Aueuet, 4th
to 9Th, and the next will reach the Pacific
coast about the 9th, cross the western
mountains by close Of 10, the great cen.
trail valleys from nth TO 18th, and the
eastern states about the 18th.
This storm will develop unusual force,
and will become a dangerous and des-
tructive storm east OF the Mississippi
on the 18th and l4th. Heavy local rains
may be expected, but not general rains
Temperature will 60 to extremes. This
storm will inaugurato . period Of very
remarkable weather thst will extend be
yond the middle Of September.
The warm wave will cross the western
mountains about the 10th, the great CEN
trail valleys about the 18th, and the east
ern states about the 14th. The cool wave
will cross the western mountains about
tho 18th, the great central valley s about
the 18th, and the eastern states about
| the 10th.
II suns REVOLUTIONS.
The suns diameter is about l1s times
that Of the earth, and a little more than
ten times that Of Jupiter, while the lat.
lcr is about ten times that Of the earth.
The suns mass, weight, is about $4,000
times that Of the earth, its volume is
about 1900. 900 times the earth's volume.
The suns density is o little less than one
halt tim 90 that Of water, or about one
fourth that OF earth. SO say our great
astronomers, aud by such teachings the
pupil is 80 misled, that It requires half a
life time for even an Independent thinker
TO extricate himself from the entangle.
ments Of such false teachings.
In the comparison the earth 10 meas.
ured and weighed, not including it's at
mosphere and cloud belts, while the sun,
surrounded by cloud belts at least 100000
miles in depth, is measured and weighed
including it's atmosphere and its cloud
belts.
I despise the mind that must ever be a
slave to the minds Of others, never seek
ing reason for it's convictions, and yet Of
such are ninety-nins out Of ever one.hun-
dred human beings. Because Herschel,
Proctor, or Young says 60, is not conclus.
i've evidence that their theories are cor.
rect. The whole scientific world has tot.
ally abandoned theories that were uni
versally taught fifty years ago, and in
many things our great astronomers are
now known to have been in error. Many
scientific truths Of to-day will become
glazing errors l n the next twenty. five
years. One Of these, persistently stand
ing across the path Of progress, is the
blind, senseless theory Of a burning sun,
that radiates heat to the planets.
II we take q ball one foot in diameter
to represent the size Of the sun, the earth
will be represented by q ball one. eighth
OF an inch in diameter. Place them Ito
feet apart, aud VI get the comparative
distance of the earth from the sun, while
the nearest star would be 1000 miles
away.
The SUI Ia said to revolve on it's axis
IN q little more than twenty. five days, but
this is all guess work, and the evidence
supporting II is very weak. As we face
the south at noon and look up at the sun,
tn, spots move toward our right hand,
toward what is west on U earth, but il
We were on the sun, the spot movement
would be toward the east, precisely as, In
this latitude, the high and low barome
tiers, storm centsrs, move eastward.
Those spot movements are all the evi.
dences the astronomers have as to the
revolution of the sun on it's axis. II
these spots were caused by something
attached to the solid body of the sun,
then they would revolve with that solid
portion, but this cannot be the case.
1t must be remembered that the sun
and ell the planets, except the earth and
Mars, are covered with dense clouds, and
We never see the solid surface Of any OF
them. The suns atmosphere, il only in
proportion to the earth, and would he
2l,OOO miles in depth, and that atmos-
phere OF the son 10 completely flled with
dense cloud. On q body possessing such
!, great energies as VI know are at work in
the suns atmosphere, is it within reason
that mountain peaks could exist l,OOO
miles high? Yet such mountains must be
there, II the sun spots are caused by any
thing that revolvHs with the solid body
OF the sun.
, The spots on the sun revolve in two
days lees time at or near the suns equa-
tor than at forty five degrees OF north OF
south latitude. These facts annihila.e
the sun.spots as evidence of the SIMS
period Of rotation. No court could &C.
! cept such conflicting evidence. Think
OF IT.: The spots make q revolution near
the equator in two days, less time than
on the parallel midway between the pole
and the equator, and U astronomers
: strike an average OF these spot revolu.
, tions, and call that average the peri, d of
, the SUMS revolution. Oh! what little
things great men can sometimes do. The
fact that the spots do not all revolvc
: around the sun in the same period OF
time, is positive proof that they are not
, attached to the body Of the sun, and
. therefore do not indicate it's period of ro-
tation.
These u spots are the high barome-
! ters and move, on the sun, az do the br
rometers on the earth. This statement
, can prove to the satisfactiOn of INV
