Science Notes.

AS test of planetary effects on our
earth and on the sun ! call attention
to a period of ten days including April
~ to May 6. AS see it this ten-day
period will be crowded with important
events. 1t will include the great sun
spots of the year, in earthquake coun-
tries may be expected the greatest
earthquakes of the year, while lorna
does and other severe and dangerous
storms will occur in sections subject
to such disturbances.
The sun will be eclipsed late In the
afternoon of April 2s. This alone would
not cause any great commissions of ma
ture, but the relations OF Jupiter, Mer-
curry, Venus and Uranus in relation to
the earth, will be such that, in accord
with the laws Of magnetism, will cause
unusually great disturbances in the
sun and solar system.
Magnetic storms and earthquakes
and tornadoes and sunspots may be
expected throughout this ten-day per-
iod, particularly near April %, 80, May
2, 4, 5. These great disturbances viii
be too general for me to undertake
pointing out their localities. / warn
all that danger signals are up for all
of those ten days and while only
small part of the earth viii suffer it
win be best for all to be on the alert,
and remain in the safest places.
The next bulletin will give forecasts
Of May crop weather and will be Of
unusual interest. All my readers
should preserve the monthly charts for
reference.
