The Scientific American, summing up an article on the influence of the moon and planets on the weather, says: We have every reason to believe that neither the planets nor the inuou can have any appreviable effect on the weather, because they furnish so little heat upon which all weather changes ultimately depend, and this belief is fully supported by weather records. The belief, still to be found in all countries, that the planets ami the moon do affect the weather never had any scientific basis whatever; it is only a rem- nant of the many superstitions generated and fostered by that other and greater superstition, aatroloey.
