METEOROLOGY. 



A NEW VIEW OF THE WEATHER QUESTION. 



BY ISAAC P. NOYES. 

 ( Continued from the fuly number. ) 



LII. The best portion of the United States for regular conditions to follow 

 each other seems to be east of the Rocky Mountains. It has sometimes been 

 said that our storms come from the Rocky Mountains, but from the weather maps 

 and the natural laws that low appears to follow, it would seem that they do not 

 generate anywhere in particular, and are liable to generate at any portion of the 

 Earth's surface ; indeed, there is a constant struggle at every point — the strongest 

 force prevails and a small low is sometimes, as it were, swallowed up by a larger 

 one and borne on by it, or at times to even develope within a very extended one. 



LIII. There are general and local laws, and this accounts for places near 

 each other having currents of wind in even opposite directions, and for the fact 

 while the general wind is in one direction, a local wind may be in another and 

 even just the reverse. In such cases, however, the wind will not generally be 

 very heavy. 



LIV. "Polar Waves." — This is a nice expression, yet strictly speaking there
