st. Joseph, No, September l5.--Last
bulletin gave forecasts OF storm wavo to
cross continent September 20 TO "a, warm
wave September % to 26. cool wave Sep
TENDER 20 to "a and % to 20.
The warm wave and the last cool wave
mentioned above will constitute the prln-
cipal storm wave of the month reaching
over into October. 1t will affect the
whole OF North America and will brins
in its train a hot wave, nigh WINDS,
drouth, followed by high winds fro mthe
opposite direction rain, cold, snow, blll-
zard. frosts ana a real touch of winter.
or course the snow and frosts viii not
reach the southern part OF the cotton belt,
but making allowance for latitude the
above is a fair description OF what may
be expected.
This storm wave will cover a period OF
about ten days, beginning in the far
Northwest with rising temperature about
20 and ending IN the New England States
and Eastern Canada about October ],
with very low temperature for the TINA
OF year.
This disturbance has been calculated
along Ave lines OF latitude across the
/ continent and the results show up very
similar North. South East and West, in
dicating that it will be a general weather
/ event over all OF North America.
Although ! have no weather records for
China and Eastern Siberia from which TO
calculate / am OF the opinion that our
soldiers in the vicinity of pekin and Ten
| Tsin will experience weather very SIM
liar to that which l have described for
the North American continent.
1 While there Is no such thing as an
equinoctial storm. this great disturbance
will be what Is commonly called such,
The disturbing Influences OF the equi
noxes cover all OF the months September
and March. and reach into October ana
April Disturbing planetary influences
determine the dates OF the so-called -uui-
noctal storms and the moon and planets
and suns rotation on its axis occupy
such relative positions as to bring the
eduinoctial disturbance this year during
the last days of September and first days
OF October.
have finished going over my calcula-
lions the second time for 1901 aud am
now more confident than ever before that
my forecasts win be correct.
MANY expected the unusual relative
positions OF the solar system bodies
would eliminate this year In very great
weather extremes, but my recent cal
culstions indicate that the climax viii
come within the twelve months begin
ming October l. 1900.
Within the past few years interest In
the weather and weather forecasts has
increased immensely and before we get
through with the 1901 weather. loag
range forecasts will be reckoned as of
much greater interest in the way bf
news than ever before. ~

> Crop weather OF 1901 will greatly dlfer
from recent years and on the NorSh Anie--
lean continent disastrous crop failures IN

1t might be said that this Is not anlun-
1 usual occurrence but for the coming year
