Professor of Meteorological Physics, in the De- troit Weather Bureau, who has just contributed a. highly interesting chap- ter to the literature of weather pro- verbs, notes the crude. but shrewd wisdom that is back of many of them. He notes the deep-sea fishermen will weigh anchor and flee from a gather- ing- storm when to the casual on- looker there is no sign of such a storm; and that the woodsman will note significant changes and under- stand them when the average man would be conscious of no change. “‘The prescience of these men.” says 11'. Humphrcys, “is phenomenal," and then he proceeds to a considera- tion of some of the proverbs which go to make up the wisdom on which such people rely for guidance on wea- ther matters. Scientists in the Weather Bureau have been studying the weather pro- verbs, and have. come to the conclu- sion that many of them have a dcâ€" cree of reliability that. 18 quite sion that. gree of I startling.

The following pro- Some of these prOVerbs attempt to forecast conditions for an entire growing season, and when they deal with results rather than with types of weather, Dr. Humphreys says they] are frequently rationally founded. lake, for instance, this proverb: "Frost year Fruit year"; Or to state it io another form : "Year of snow, Fruit will grow”; Or, put it‘in still another form: “A year of snow, 8. year of plenty.‘ ‘S’l‘hat thesn and similar statements are commonly true." says Dr. Hum- phreys, “is evident from the fact that a more 61' less continuous covâ€" ering of snow. incident to a cold winter, not. only delilys the blossom- ing of fruit trees till after the prob- able season 0! killing frosts. but a1- so prevents the alternate thawing and freezing so ruinous to (heat and other winter grains. In short, as another proverb puts it, “a late spring never deceives." Another series of proverbs fore- cast weather conditions from the ap- pearance of the sun. moon and stars and sky, and, like the proverbs fore- casting the seasons. some of them are built upon the sure foundation of accurate observation and correct rea- soning. It is with these latter only that Dr. Humphreys deals. A in- miliar proverb of the class of this : “A red sun has water in his eye." Quantities of dust in a damp at- mosphere produce a "red sun,” or smoke, ii of sufficient quantities, will do it. When the atmosphere is heavily charged with dust particles that are moisture laden we see the sun as a. fiery ball. This dust has much to do with rainfall, for it has been scientifically demonstrated that cloud particles, and therefore rain! will not form, ordinarily,.in a dust- free atmosphere, but it will readily form when the atmosphere is damp. A red sun, therefore, commonly indi: cates the presence of both the essen- tial documentsâ€"dust and moisture. There are many proverbs._ some good and useful and others mislead- ing, concerning the color of the sun at sunset ann sunrise. From Shake speare are the following lines : But, 'in many ways the most interâ€" esting of all these proverbs that have to do with red sunrise and Sunset, in the judgment of Dr. Humphreye, is the one which, according .to the Gos- pel of Matthew, Christ used in an- swer to the Pharism and Sadueoes when they asked Him to show them a Sign from Heaven. ' "He answered and said unto them. When it is evening,” say, it will be fair weather, for the sky is red ; ‘ “And in the morning it will be foul weather because the sky is red and lowering." "It will be noticed," comments Dr. Humphreys, "that an evening red sky is opposite typeéof weather from that indicated by a morning red. _'l'his,' “A red mom that ever yet betokened Wreck. t9 the seamen, tempest 1.0 the afield» 7 . Sorrbw to the shepherds, woe to the birds, 0 Gusts and foul flaws to herdsmen and to herds." About the Weather however, is only an apparent 90n- tradiction {or the origin '0! the red is not the same in the two cases; DI row. But if theevening sky is grey, then we may know that many water drops are present, and that the dust parti- cles have become loaded with moist- ure, which condition favors rain, and justifies theSc- proverbs: “ If the sun set in the grey The next will be a rainy day. If the sun goes pale to bed. 'Twill rain toanorrow it is said." There are numerous proverbs based on the assumption that the moon ap- preciably controls the weather, but science has proved them to be with- out reliability. The following pro- verb bears out the scientific theory: “ The moon and the weather May change t0getber; But change of the moon Does not change the weather. If we‘d no moon at all, And that may seem strange, We still should have weather That's subject to change." However, as Dr. Humphreys obser- \‘es. the appearance of the moon de- pends upon the condithnl of the atmosphere, and, therefore. proverbs based on phenomena of this nature are znore or less sound and haVe much value. Thus: “ Clear moon. Frost soon." Moonlight nights have the heaViest frosts. Proverbs of this class are true, be- cause on clearest nights the cooling of the earth's surface by radiation is greatest. and hence most likely to cause. through the low temperature reached, heavy dew or frost. “Sharp horns do' threaten windy weather. ’ ’ is shown 1.» have a scientific founda- tion. When the air is clear, had The height. extent and shapes of the clouds depend upon the humidity and upon the temperature and mo- tion of the atmosphere. and conse- quently the} often furnish reliable warnings of the coming weather. One proverb correctly says: "The higher the clouds the' finer the weather.” Dr. Humphreys completes his inter- esting“ discussion of weather proverbs by saying that he hopes enough of the more reliable ones have been quoted to indicate their importance in those cases where a weather serv- ice cannot take the place of weather signs, meaning the rural communities more or less remote from railways and telegraph stations. is shown 1.» have a scientific founda- tion.

The laborer was a. freeholder in the‘land. He had his commons. There he could graze a. cow that would give milk and butter for himseli and his children. There was a- little»th where he could raise corn to feed them. There he had his poultry, his geese, his pigs, a patch of land where he could raise green produce for the table. He was a. gentleman. He was independent. He had a stake in the country. His title was as indefensible as that of the lord of the manor. Where has it gone to ?

Lloyd George said that he spoke for an absolutely unanimous Cabinet when he announced his land propts- ale. They provide for the creation of a Ministry of Lands, which \iill absorb the existing Board of Agri- culture and will have new and wide powers for the control and devel -;)- ment of land both rural and urban. Acting through .mdicial commission- ers, the Ministry will have authority to deal with small holdings. dis- putes between landlord and tenant. a simplified system of land .ransx’er and the reclamation of waste and uncultivated land. The Ministry will have authority to purchase whatever waste and uncultivated land it desires and improve them. Moreover, it will have power to ii:- the price at which this and t... her land necessary for public purposes will be taken over. When it has im- proved the land it may sell out- right, or lease. as it sees fit. right, or lease. as it sees fit. TOO FEW OWNERS. Apparently the chief trouble with the land system in England at the presentdime is that it is in too few hands. Half a don-n landlords, for instance, own the choicest land in London. and derive enormous rent- 818. In the country the holdings of the great lords are \‘ast-indeml. For instance. the young Duke of Suther- land recently came into an estate of 1,380,000 acres. Much of this land is waste, and is used for game pre- serves and other sporting purposes. Whether it is fit for anything else remains to be proved, but the conâ€" tention is that the gentry are more interested in breeding pheasants than in having the land cultivated. The new Ministry will be able to practi- cally expropriate these great es- tates. and in order to get rid of their holdings before the Ministry iS created the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Grafton, Lord (.‘ranworth and the Duke of Portland are offer- ing their estates for sale. The lluke of Sutherland ofl'ered to sell the Government 200.0(Kl acres of his land at $10 an acre. his assertion being that the land he Med for sporting purposes was fit for no- thing else. and that he retainer! it because he could not sell it or turn it to productive uses. BACK TO WHEAT GROWING. The Duke of Marlborough is plow- ing up much of beautiful Blenheim Park, and will sow wheat on one thousand acres. The Duke believes 1that with wheat at present prices millions of acres of land that are now used {or pasturage would pay much better if sown to wheat. / It appears to be a fact that in the past few decades British agriculture has fdeclined.
