Show There Aw So TqnlnoclUI Storms. Weather Prophet Gen. Greely observes? ob-serves? "The equinoxes nre Imaginary Imagin-ary polnb at the Intersection of tho circle described by the eaith about the sun with the plane of the earth's equator extended till it Strikes the Imaginary dome of the sky, and they are nothing more than this. Hence it b very ovident,"he says, "thatj they can have absolutely no influence influ-ence on storms. It might be thought that somehow the lengthening of tbo dav at th&fmrimrpnnfnnY mi.,K affect the weather, but, as this lengthening amounts to only two and one-half minutes daily, and is a continuous action, lasting for weeks before and after the equinox, the effect b absolutely nothing."
