This will be a storm of considersbl,
importance and will develop its great
est force in the Mississippi valley
about the 9Th and will be somcwha,
favorable to the development Of lorna
does.
The warm wave will cross tho west.
ern mountains about July 9Th, the
great central valleys about the 9TH,
and the eastern states about tho OH.
Tho cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the Sth, the great
central valleys about the 1O,h and the
eastern states about the 18th.
The rainfall Of July will be cxces.
s've in places, but will average below
the normal, taking the whole country
over. Spots of drouth in various
places Will do considerable damage to
growing crops during the first ten
days Of the month while other places
will be damaged by floods. After tn,
10Th rains will become moro genera,
md will run less to extremes.
The hottest waves Of the month vii.
cross the continent from west to cas-,
about June Goth to July 81 and July
18th to August LIST. The coolest
weather will be from 10Th to GOTH
and the greatest fall Of temperature
following the storm waves crossing the
continent June Both to July 4th and
July Goth to August I'd. For tn.
uuited States and Canada, as a whole

The most destructive storms will
occur from LIST to- 10Th and will in.
clude some severe hail storms aud tor.
aadoes. This will also be a danger
period on the lakes and Atlantic.
CAUSES EARTH's ROTATION.
There are two old theories as to the
cause Of the carth's rotation. One Of
these is that an original impulse, an
unexplainabls miracle, set the heaven.
" spheres in motion. The other il
that a universe Of matt9r fell in on
itself causing motion and great heat
Each Of these theories is the Stiles,
aonsensc not worthy Of a serious
thought and still they have a wonder
full hold on the human mind. Sucl
ideas might do for monkeys bu'
should find no place in the minds o.
men.
Let reason have a chance aud cleo
'ricity a hearing. In fling a cannon
or other 6rcarm tho impact of tn,

the exploded powder pushing one way
against the atmosphere and in the op
posite direction against the periphery
Of the wheel and thus causing the lat.

A wheel of iron spokes with the
outer ends'of the latter sharp pointed
and turned at right angles backward
will rapidly rotate when a heavy
charge Of electricity is sent into i,
through its sxle, the ends of which
correspond to the poles of the earth
The electricity escaping into the at
mosphero from the turned back spoke
points acts on The atmosphere and OIL
the wheel precisely as the discharge
OF the tirearm does and the "kick" o.
impact causes the wheel to rotate will

one way and the wheel turning in tn,
opposite direction.
The earth is a spherical rotating
magnet, the electricity coming to 1t a
its north and south poles, meeting a
