This warm wave will develop unusual
ly high temperature west Of the Mis-.
sissippi.
The cool wave will cross the west
cru mountains about the 7th, the
great central valleys about tho 9th,
and the eastern states about the 18th,

be the coolest period Of the month
and will produce its greatest rainfall.
Severe storms are expected during the
last week Of the month. The month
will average cooler than usual. South
ern frosts not far from 10Th.
THE SUNS MAGNETISM.
e Pro-. Frank II, Bige'ow, Of the ma.
tional weather bureau, has published
an important paper in q leading astr'-
pomica! journal. He has been, for
several years, one Of shs weather bu-
rsau's scientific experts, and hisl con-
illusions are very impo rtant to meter
ology. He says: "Ths observed facts
pertaining to solar physics, to terres'
trial magnetism and to meterolsgy
have been such az to render it very
probable that these three distinct
branches Of science are 10 reality parts
Of and general cosmical science"
That Is precisely the theory for
which planetary neteroligists have
been %contending. Prof. Bigelow was
selected by the weather bureau to in
vesligats this very question. and from
the sens-lsss opposition Of the woath'
or bureau officials toward Independent
planetary mcteroligists, l infer that
Prof. Biaslow was expected to annihi'
late the theory that moon and planets
have anything to do with our weather
changes, but Prof. Bigelsw says that
tho magnetic forces Of the sun aud
earth arc closely related to u wealth
er changes and auroral displays.
Prof. Bigelow writes to convince,
showing no care for other intelligent
classes Of people, therefore his Ian
guage 10 hard aud needs interpretation
Meu whose salaries are paid by thu
government should be compelled t
write in the American language, o!
which our American newspapers arr
classics. Our American newspaper
use the pure American Language, fur
nish the channel through which Amer
lean intelligence is reached. uan'
therefore one who Ellis a public capac
ity at the expense Of tho people
should give his discoveries to the pub
lie in our newspaper language.
