This disturbance covers danger pe-
Rod and dangerous storms are expec-
ted on many parts Of the earth. Prob
ably no new storms will be formed in

dies they are known by several
names.
The greatly increased magnetic for.
ces on the continent usually go to the
storms already organized and in.
crease their violence. These storm
centers are usually about 5000 miles
apart and move eastward at an aver.
age of about 600 miles in twenty-four
hours. They move around the earth
in about SO days. The electro-mag-
netic forces increase and decrease in
accord with relative positions of sun,
earth, moon and planets. Sometimes
these storms move thousand miles a
day and at other times very little
movement is observed The storm
center is closely behind the highest
