HOT WEATHER FOR JULY.
Tremendous DownpOur Of Rain and Cloud

Storms. Forecasts

covering the 3rd to the Sth. The
Moon is in perigee on the 4th, the
center of the Mercury period,
and at extreme declination south
and full on the 9Th, the central
day of the Vulcan storm period.
This is an exceptional combina-
ton of distur bing causes, which
in all probability will BRING cris
is of meteorological perturbations
within sixty hours of noon on the
Jth.
BY the 3rd the temperature
will be reaching the proportions
otahot wave in western sections.
By the 4th and 5th these condi.
tons will have advanced eastward
to the great central valleys, at.
tended and followed by storms of
marked intensity. In all reason
this is a period when tremendous
downpours of rain and cloudburst
should, as a rule be looked for,
with startling electrical storms,
high winds and probable lorna
does. The crisis of this period
will fall about Thursday the 9Th,
to Saturday 9TH. We believe that
u period of excessive storms and
storminess will be central during
the Mercury period central on
4th, hence at It's crisis during the
present storm period. This Pc
rod will be characterized in its
first stages by a phenomenal wave
Of humidity and heat, but as the
storm areas pass out of the way
to the eastward, the barometer
Will rise rapidly to very high
readings, followed by sudden
change to unseasonably cool.
If storms should not appear
generally on and about July the
9th period of insutferable
warmth will settle over most
parts of the country, bringing on
a condition of shot winds" and
ending sooner or later in seismic
disturbances in various parts of
this and other countries.
A Reachonary Storm Period is
central on the 10th, 18th and 18th.
The disturbances of this period
will reach their minatlng
crisis on and touching Thurs
day 18th, at which time the
temperature will go much higher
generally, and black clouds with
blisterlng storms of wind, rain
and thunder will visit many parts
OF the country, progressively IN
the usual order from west to east.
Heavy hail storms will attend
theseand other July disturbances,
especially in the great, open gram
regions of the west and north.
Rising barometer, with winds
shifting to westerly and some
cooler, will be the natural order
behind the stol ms of this period
and Tor several days after they
have passed off to the Atlantic.
A Regular Storm Period ex-
tends from the 18th to the 10Th,
being central on the 18th. Under
normal conditions this period
would result IN clustering thun-
der storms on the 18th, 18th and
18th, and such, in all probability,
will be the case; but the high tenn
perature and low barometer, and
threatening weather conditions
generally, will not lik ely give way
until we pass the 2lst, the date OF
new moon at solar eclipse.
A Reactionary Storm Period is
central on the 2lst, 22nd and 23rd,
this period being at the limits OF
the Mars and Venus periods, EN-,
oracing new noon on the 2lst
If not continued hot, threatening
and stormy weather should moi
lead into tins period from the one
preceding it, there will be a sud
den return of low barometer, very
high temperature and vlolen,
thunder storms on the 2lst, 22nd
and 23rd. Such, 1t must he un
derstood, is the natural order, un
der conditions free from the pc
GUAR, modifying influences O.
Mars. But if the Mars eaulno,
should have fastened upon Us #,
s'ormless, brassy, burning con
diuon, we will reach a crisis O.
