WEATHER PREDICTIONS.
Perhaps no other old habit of
human beings stick to them with
the persistency as does the belief
in the commonplace weather signs
faYiara Thov ViAVf hAAfl
handed down to us hy ages 01
quotations, and still influence and
control us, no matter how much
we may plume ourselves on being
free from superstitious observances.
The real reason for this will be
found in the fact that very many of
those old sayings really embody
scientific truths, more tersely and
understanding put than , is done
by the later scientific expressions.
The Popular Science
Monthly
thinks that the persistent survival
of weather-lore in these days of
intellectual emancipation is not at i
all remarkable when we consider
the extent to which the vulgar j
sayings embody real truths. A
few years ago Messrs. Abercromby :
and Marriott embarked on an ex
tremely interesting inquiry with a
J i
view to determine, by actual com-
parison, how far the popular prov-
' t i f
erbs express relations, sequences,
which the results of meteorological I
science show to be real. The in
vestigation proved that something
like a hundred of the more popu
lar sayings are, under ordinary
conditions, trustworthy. Such
being the case, we need not be
surprised that simple country folk
prefer familiar couplets to all the
'isobars," "cyclones" and "syn
chronous charts." in the world. ! w ,

Ol
breath economy. The thirty-one
words demanded by science stand
no chance against four. But it is
unfortunate that, along with the
limited number of folk-say'ns
founded on truth, there has snr- i
vived a very large number founded j
on the grossest error.
These latter i
have borrowed
credence and re-
spect from the proved credibility
of the others, and apparently they
are all destined to tink or swim i
together.
Hammer as we Will at
certain favorite proverbs which we !
. .
know to be based upon error, it is I
,, . . , , i
all m vain, lhe reverence ior tra-;
dition is too much lor us. And ol j
all the superstitions, pure and
simple, which defy our attempts at
destruction, the most invulnerable
are those ascribing certain effects
to the influence of the moon.
The Chronicle says that the
latest reports from the Hoang-Ho
prove that very little has been
done to mend the great break that
brought ruin and starvation to
thousands of homes in China.
"What the misery is Americans can
faintly appreciate, as famine is
something unknown ?n this coun.
try. Until the work of
repairmg I
lhe breach in the river banks is
given to some foreign engineer we
may expect to hear a repitition of
these reiorts of waste and incom
petence. The Chinese official
appears unable to do any public
work in a systematic or economical
way, and in the midst of cruel
hardship to the poor he is alw ays
intent on personal gain.
Two newspaper carriers, aged
about 15 respectively, at Houston,
Texas, got into a quarrel over a
girl, and one drew art old pistol
from his pdeket and shot the other
dead. Thus the presence of that
old pistol caused the loss of a
widowed mother's only support,
and brands a boy of 15 with the
stigma of murderer, for if the
ready pistol had not been at hand
cooler thoughts would have inter
vened before personal harm was
accomplished.
A Pennsylvania bridegroom
who was on the way to the mar
riage ceremony with a $60,000
heiress for a bride, suddenly fell
prostrate. The physicians say he
was drugged. Two of his rivals
are suspected of doing the mischief.
A dog-in-the-manger trick io be
sure.
The Alta thinks that one of the
saddest things in life is to see a
pretty girl w ith a new-found raodt
trying to madea pair of eyeglasses
sit astride a roly-poly snub nose
with no backbone in it.
