81. Joseph. Mo. Oct AMY last
bulletin gave forecasts OF the storm
wave TO cross the continent from 18Th
to 18th and the next will reach the
Pacific coast about the 18th. cross the
western mountains by close OF 10Th,
the great central yaileys from sOth to
ed and the eastern states about the
Esd
Unusually warm weather Will pre-
eede and accompany this disturbance
and not much rain may be expected.
The warm wave will cross the west
ern mountains about the 18th. the
great central valleys about the 20th
anu the eastern states about the a2d.
Inc cool wave will cross the western
mountains about the 2iHt, the great
central valleys about the $50 and the
eastern states about the 2ith.
NO cause rs In sight that calls Tor
severe Wintry weather near the date
Oh tnis disturbance but tropical hur-
ricanes are liable to occur IN this month
ana wnen they are in the Vicinity OF the
West indies cold wave may surely
be expected.
"A severe frost in the cotton belt is
expected near October 2sth
II may be claimed that II gravity Is u
push the moon would fan 10 the earth.
The moon ls not like a stone but ~
enveloped by an olcctrosphere which Is
resisted by the electrogphare of the
earth This is proven by two magnet
ICED balls brought near each other
when their magnetic envelopes or at
mospheres are pushed to the opposite
Side OF each and each ban Ia repealed

away from one ball, or what is the
same thing, charge one bali with Mega
tive electricity, az II Is erroncously
called, Nnd the two balls VIII foil to-
gether or attract each other; increase
the charge In each and they viii more
forcibly repel each other,
For the above reasons the moon ilOnts
IN the atmosphere Of the cHrth hecause
the buoyuncy Of the electrosphere is Of
| greater Tepellent force tltan can be
overcome by the push or the other aH
II moves toward the center of the earth
from all directions
These facts explain why one heavenly
body Is attracted by another while at
a distance aud this attraction turned
to repulson when nearer each other
The repulson begins when their cleo
truspheres meet,
A comet has no tail when AT It's nphe-
lion or furthost point from the sun
comet meets the repulsIon nt the suns

around the sun, Some are so tvfclniy
repealed that they turn back before
reaching the sun. When they come
long distances and have couiideiNple
mass the Incoming ether gives ihem
sufficient momentum ~ ilas them
around the sun.
OF course these arguments depend
| on whether the earth and planets are
/ Ir.ssts 4llit ~
ing. II they are not the theory ana
argument must fail,
Orthodox scientists hold that the sun
and planets We're originally balls Of
IRE, now cooling aud continually small
| Ter That rs the nebular theory, ana
| the ideas herein advanced nre incon-
| alstent with II and one Of the theories
NJ least, Is necessarily without founda-
| ton.
N the earth ls not Increasing In size
thon geology is lie, There are many |
| strata In tho earth that are recognized |
as general covering the whole earth
| One OF these series IL the coal meas
ures. They extend all around the earth |
and could not everywhere lie deeply |
| buried II the earth were not adding |
materials TO Its surface.
Vegetation produces a vast Increase /
to the earth's matter every year. and |
Il cannot be claimed that vegetntlon |
comes from the soil. The matter built |
the atmosphere aud Is taken In through
the leaves. Tho sap never ascendg In
vegetation. but comes from the at
mospherc and runs down.
The atmosphere, thus robbed by veg
citation. Is renewed by the condcnsa-
tons OF the ether, ana thus the earth
Is constantly growing.
The mind cannot grasp the immons-
" OF the expansion of solid matter TO
ether. or Of the condemnation neces-

Tie student Of nature can make no
mistake IN supreme EFFORT 10 under
stand this part or the subject for II Is
the basis Of all things that man may
know
Although the question ia In doubt
among scientists ! fearlessly assert
that, In Its original form, reduced to
atoms, or In that condition where Il |
~ called ether there is but one kind OF
matter
II matters not how vastly this ether
mny be expanded as compared with
the lightest Of gasses It will have all
necessary power to create gravity II Il
hiss sufficient velocity
We are used 10 measuring power by
the pound and forget that velocity
Is the important factor. a one-pound
pull would lift the weight OF the world
n the pull was given sufficient We
locity The power added by an In
crease Of velocity Is as unlimited as the
power OF the lever.
Then It matters not how attenuated,
how much expanded, the ether may
be. II II "a given sufficient velocity to-
ward the center " the earth 1t VIII
have the necessary force to create
gravity.
Electricity, magnetism. ether readily
pass through GOLD matter. Eieciri-
city passes through some kinds OF mat
ter more readily than through others.
and when given great velocity IL In
clined TO take the matter with IT,
Whether the ether IL OF the same ma
ture Is not certainly known. but no
good reason can be assigned why ether
and electricity are not the same, AZ
much Sd as steam and water and as
the velocity OF steam gives 20 II a
power equal 10 water 40 does ether
have q power equal 10 electricity.
As It Is the ether that gives 20
comets and planets their motions the
ether must have vastly greater velo-
city than the swifteat comets. re
sun moves about sixteen miles per
second. Light moves lsG $40 miles per
aCcond- The incoming ether OF space
must have much greater velocity
than light ana this movement being
