The same is true of a dry or hot or cold period of the weath- Chaining a Monstrous Wolf, { One night the gods and goddesses | were awakened by a dreadful howling. It was the Fenris Wolf, a monster which was prowling around not far from the edges of 'heaven. "The wol is hungry," sdid Tyr, [the war-god. "I'll yo and feed him lso he'll quit that moise and we ean eep." \ Taking up great hnks of meat, he went bodily to the Fenris Woii and fed him. . This kept the beast quiet the rest of the night. Next morning, the gods and goG- desses got together to talk over the problem. 'They knew the wolf would grew bigger and bigger. They feared he might eteal in some nigat and do them harm. ' ! It was decided to chain him up. Tyr placed a strong chain around day. -This is an awful burg. tand | 1LY For example, at Brussels, Bel glum, the' probability of a change BRITISH WHIG | f | a -- @ the next day to fair weather after o cent, and a change in temperature after 7 per cent, To produce any kind of such as surface temper- 3 1 = } seven days with rain is only 25 per| { warm or cold days only 15) weather b " -- . twa: have a -cortain on: Sta || Some of the "dry" candidates did [conditions ature, air temperature and moisture, | therefore such weather as re sults will tend long as the fundamental situation remains unchanged.

"I do not imagine that Lewis has become a naturalized Englishman," , the Standard's writer obgerves, "in- 1 deed after the remarks he has made about this country he could not be imagined doing so, and his action in canvassing Chelsea, as he has done, for that distinguished mathematician and philosopher Bertrand Russell, is | Just as improper as if I were to go ! up some 'main street' in Kansas and canvass for President Coolidge.
