"
last bulletin gave forecasts of the
storm waves to cross the continent
from 25th to 29th. The next
will reach the Pacific coast about June
29th, cross the western mountain
country BY close of Both, the great
central valleys from July lst to Sd
and the eastern states about the 4th.
Average rains may be expected
throug the central portions Of the
United States, leaving q deficiency in
the extreme north and south.
Warm wave will crsss the west Of
the Rockies country about June Goth,
great central valleys July lst and the
eastern states July Sd. Cool wave
will cross the west of Rockies coun.
try about I'd, great central valleys 4th
and eastern states about 9th.
This cool wave will inaugurate an
extended cool period aad what IS here
in designated as the cecil half Of the
month.
Each month is usually divided into
about tive weeks of cool and two weeks
Of warm weather, and the differcocc
in the average temperature of these
two periods is almost universally of a
radical type. 1t Is of great impor.
lance to know whep these warm and
cool periods will occur.
Each Of these twelve to fifteen
days warm periods has tive storm
waves, two warm waves and TWO cool
waves, and each Of the twelve to tf.
teen days cool period has the same.
Most rain falls during the cool per.
iods, and the evaporation and drouth
symptoms are experienced during the
warm periods.
l challenge the world 10 making
long range forecasts ef these warm
and cool periods, and whoever tests
the accuracy Of these bulletins in
foreeastiug these periods will find the
forecasts, IN that respect at least, won
d%erfully correct.
The rain belt fer July appears to
extend from Denver to Philadelphia
leaving large areas Of drouth in the
dirscti.n Of Charleston aud Key West
and from Chicago asd Davenport to-
ward the northwest.
General forecasts for July aud TEN
peratu,c forecasts for the coming win
ter will be published in my mex bull
letin. l believe my calculations fol
the coming winter &c be reliable, anc
they are Of a most important charac
ter. 1t will be a remarkable win,e
IS to temperature.
Phosphosescence increases at low
temperatures. Very many article
shine Of their own light after being
charged with electricity and PLACED
in a temperature $50 degrees below
zero. Among these are milk, cotton
wool, paper, leather, linen, %tortois
shell, soda, sponge, the yolk Of al
egg, etc. Dark bodies produce NOR
light than light cslored bodies.
An article in the Meteorolegics
Journal says that the ~initiatory move
msnts of the cyclones that pass owe
the North American continent orig:
nate in the Japan current Of tn
north Pacific between America an
Asia. Not long ago these orthode
metesrologists declared that on
storms are oil organized in and east {
tho Rockies, and therefore elaine
that u storms do not reach the p
ci6c coast from the west % stated i
these bulletins.
Heat q end Of q wire and curren,
Of electricity will flow through th
other part Of tho wire, and this ma
b tested as follows: Place . msgne
10 needle above the cool part Of Il
wire, the cool end being inserted
the earth, and the needle will pls'
itself at right angles to the wir
proving the presence of electric Gu
rents. These currents are iormt
oily as the wire heats or cools. and n
when the heating is stationary. Th
illustrates a basic principle in stud
lng the magnetic influence Of plane
on our weather.
