WEATHER SIGNS WRITTEN IN SKY. Old Proverbs. Give Accurate' Local Forecasts, Says Government " w, Expert. By a little study and observation of signs written plainly in the skies, any intelligent person should be able to make accurate weather forecasts in his own locality from day to day, according to Prof. W. J. Humphreys, | meteorologist of the U.S. Weather | Bureau. And in this the old weather | proverbs that have proved depend- | able from long experience will be found of great assistance. The colors of the sky and the ap- pearance of the sun, the moon, and the stars provide a fairly accurate basis for local predictions, says Pro- fessor Humphreys in Ropular Science Monthly for June. For such predictions, he adds, are really in- ferences drawn from observations of the atmosphere, inasmuch as the ap- pearance of the sky and of heavenly bodies depends upon atmospheric conditions. For exampte, a red morning sun implies a moist atmosphere, and rain may be expected later in the day. On the other hand, a red evening sky means that the air contains so little moisture that rain within the coming 24 hours is improbable. If at even- ing the sky along the western hori- zon is yellowish or greenish, ft means that there is little moisture in the air, and that the next day will be fair. But if at evening thé sky is overcast with a uniform gray, the atmosphere far aloft is saturated with moisture and the next day is likely to be rainy. The old saying, "Rain before seven, clear before eleven,' is based on the scientific fact that an early morning rain dries the air by taking water out of it and cleans it of dust. Likewise, there is truth in the old proverb, "A red sun has water in his eye,"" for when the air is charged heavily with dust particles that have become laden with moisture, we see the sun as a flery red ball, obviously suggesting a damp atmosphere and promising rain. The appearance of the moon de- pends largely on conditions of the atmosphere, apd there is much wis- dom in the sifnple lines: "The pale moon doth rain, The red moon doth blow. The white moon doth neither rain nor snow." A clear or white moon is common- ly understood to give warning of frost, and with good reason, since the earth's surface heat radiates rapidly into a cloudless night sky. Other old sayings in which there is truth, Professor Humphreys de- clares, are: "The higher the clouds, the finer the weather." "Rainbow to windward, foul falls the day; rainbow to leeward, damp runs away." "The moon with water on its beak." "When the sun is in his house it will rain soon." a circle brings Philipsville Paragraphs.

Hi § BEERS NEE The Prevalence of Far Sight It is the opinion of Optome- trists that this error of vision is more frequently met with than any other. And in addition to being so prevalent it is ex- tremely detrimental. It is pres- ent at all ages; the majority of children being to some extemt farsighted. There is but one way to correct farsight-----plac- ing glasses before the eyes that remove the error. "We have success in such cases. R.
