ST.. JosErH, NO., August l9.-My
last bulletin gave forecasts OF the
storm waves to cross the continent
srom August 10th to Goth, and from
21st TO 25th. The next will reach the
Pacific coast about the 26th, cross the
western mountains by close Of 9th,
the great central valleys from 2Sth to
30t and the eastern states about the
31st. This disturbance will develop
its greatest force in the Mississippi
valley 2sth to 3Oth, and will probably
become a furious storm on the Goth.
This storm wave will jnauguratc .
great change in the weather, and the
torrid temperature OF August will dis
apcsr as the storm wave advances
toward the Atlantic. The rain belt,
which will have advanced far to the
north, will return toward the southern
states, and fall.likc weather with the
scat and yellow leaf will come 10 rap
idly. But frost will not be unusual
ly early.
The warm wayc will Gross the west
era mountains about the 26th, the
great central valleys about the 2Sth,
and the eastern states about the Both.
The cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the Goth, the great
central valleys about the 3lst, and
the eastern states about September
2nd.
SUN SPOTS.
As the laws Of nature arc every.
where the same, general rasults must
necessarily be very similar. The sun
10 only 40 old and wcll.developed
earth, and in time our earth mus,
necessarily becomo . sun, and the
center Of . solar system. We already
have tho beginning Of . planet-oul
msop--and as the ages roll and mil
lions Of years pass 10 the rear. ou'
earth, growing larger, moro powerful
shining more and moro Of its magnet
10 light, growing into a sun, will
catch 10 its spider like net Of magnet
10 currents other comets as it caught
that great comet, which, stripped Of
its attendant gases and Ayi'g debris
we now recogeize as the odeen OF the
evening shade.
Sun spots arc the attendants Of sun
storms, as our high barometors are
the attendants Of u storm oenters
Study ournigh %baromcters, and you
will re,dIly understand the nature Of
sup1pots.
That which We call q storm wave
consists OF two parts, a high and
low barometer. The latter is tn,
storm center, the former the anti
storm center, or clearing weather
The wind blows into the low barome
ter at its base or next to the earth
coming from al directions, but prin
oipally from the direction of the high
barometer.
These high and low baromcters OK
tend far up into the atmosphere. Ii
tho ordinary storm, tho averag,
height TO which these down pour,
and upward.spoutiug columns Of al
effect the atmospere average perhapI
ten miles, while q tornado probably
throws a spiral column Of air to
height Of fifty miles.
The wind pours into the high ba
rometer at its TOP, coming from al
directions, but principally from tn
low barometer at its side. This pour
ing down Of air columns is not uulik,
great waterfall, a Niagara, rushin,
in almost straight lines, toward tn,
center Of tho hirh barometer, whicl
is much smaller at its top thin at it
bottom.
After this down pour Of fresh al
from above has entered the high ba
rometcr and is falling toward tn
earth, II gradually takes up a spirs
movement, turning in northern lat
tudes With the hands Of the watch, @
to the right. II we were viewing tn
air movement 10 the high bsromete
from above, We could seldom see hi
spiral movement, because We woul
only see the top currents which a
move In nearly straight lines towar
the center Of the high barometer
