IN IN noTa and Works the following forecast of
the Zen, weather for the present month:
ne nrst storm period is central on the I'd, Sd

wave OF very high barometric pressure and dam
gerous cold will come down from the northwest
as sequel to this period.
Inc storm diagram shows that regular Vul-
can STORM period covers the 9th to the 18th, be-
ing central with moons last quarter on the 9th.
AS we enter this period the weather will again
Moderate, winds will shift to sOutherly and
eaSterly, the barometer will fall in western ex-
tremes and general storms will organize and
pass IN regular order from west to east from
aoout the 9Th to 18th. The first stages of these
rainy. out as the high barometer pushes into the
low areas from the northwest, look for high
winter gales, billiards. of blockading snow and
Slees ana severe, dangerous cold wave. III the
barometer is very low in the far south at this
time. the cold wave will not stop short of the
gulf coasts.
"A reactionary storm period is central on the
l4tn, 10th and 10Th, calling for moderation of the
cold and return of cloudiness, falling barometer
and more rain and snow. The conjunction of
moon with the sun, or new moon, on the 18th
Will tend greatly to prolong disturbed and
threatening weather quite into the regular
storm period following.
- "A regular storm period covers the 18th to 23d.
The moon is in apogee and on the celestial eQua-
tor on the 10th, and these facts, especially at
this central part of the Venus disturbance, call
for prompt and decided development of
low barometer, rising temperature and winter
storms on and following the 10Th. On and about
the 18th even winter lightning and thunder are
probable, with heavy rain and wind southwark.
But storms will turn to snow and billiards dur
ing the last half of the period-say from 10th to
23d and driving blizzardous cold wave will
sweep over most parts of the continent. A fact
that saOuld always be remembered is that the
WARD rainy conditions that prevail in the be-
ginning of storm periods, during the Venus pc
RODS, are sure to turn suddenly and violently to
very cold, with snow and sleet and high north
westerly gales.
'The 18th, 26th and 27th are central days of
reactionarY storm period. On and touching
these days the cold will relax, the barometer
will fall, cloudiness will gather in the west, and
more rain and snow will pass eastwardly over
most parts Of the country. Another change to
much colder will come in from the west and
north behind these storms, lasting up to the 30th
