Not much general precipitation
during the eastward drift of this
disturbance, nor during The first
half of January, but some heavy
local rains and SHOWS, covering only
small sections, principally iR the
Rockies and west of the Rocky ridge
are expected. The same conditions
are expected to accompany the pre-
vious disturbance.
The beginning ofoa Sen-day Nigh
temperature wave will come in with
the Jan. 8 to32 disturbance and dur
ing that period ) some excessively
warm weather and q winter thaw
are expected. This will be followed
by very severe storms of the biz
zard kind, a great cold wave with

Saturn and Mars WilY embel7ish
the evening skies of January and
will be bright objects Of the mide
night hours. Mars, the red wander
ing star, will be east of Saturn
Away out beyond Mars, not visible
to the unaided eye, IS the outer
planet of our solar system, the
planet Neptune. That planet was
discovered because of its influence
on Uranus, the seventh planet from
the sun. Neptune pulled Uranus Out
of it's usual orbit and that led to the
discovery of Neptune. That fact
constitutes an unanswerable argu-
ment tending to prove that the
planets affect our earth and our
weather.
A very unusual planetary event
will occur about Jan. 81. Seven
planets and the sun will be in line
One effect will probably be seen in
a large increase of sunspOts. The
earth, Mars and Neptune will on one
side of the sun while Mercury. We
nus, Jupiter and Uranus will be on
the opposite side of the sun. These
positions are called conjunctions
The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians
Ninevites, etc, regarded the planets
as gods, creators of life and the
rulers of the destiny Of man. The
earth was not counted as one of the
gods, and therefore it does not begin
with capital letter, while all the
planets. the ancient gods, begin with
capital iettere. Those ancient opeo-
Piles knew more about the universe
than we moderns are inclineN &c
give them credit for. Some of Che
recent discoveries in astronomy
would do credit to those scientists
of the distant past, but we are toe
selfish to give them credit foro what
} they knew.
