Jupiter into conjunction on that date. The
planet Mars will, at the same time, be within
less than four days of his opposition with the
earth and sun, the earth passing between him
and the sun on May 9th. In view OF these addf-
tional causes and the further fact that the focus
OF solar energy belts the central regions of the
northern hemisphere during this month, there

barometer, much higher temperature and an
other cycle of daily rain, thunder and wind
storms. This period lies at the center of the
May perturbations, growing out of the localized
solar power, especially in regions most COM
