Even earthquakes were said to be predicted by Plants are also used as weather indicators and as they act in sympathy with the dampâ€" ness, gloom, and chilliness of the air, and these are conditions that generally precede rain, their indications cannot be called altogether fallacious. The pimpernel and the marigold close their petals before rain, because the air is getting damper, and for tire same reason the poplar and the maple show the under surface of theirleaves. An artificial leaf of pmper will do the same. If hard, thin paper is used for the upper side and thicker unsized paper for the lower, the leaf will curl up in sympathy with the conâ€" dition of the air. _ So will a slip of ordinary photographic paper.

The leech is believed to be a weather prophet and two books have been written about its behavior. The author of one devised an instrument by which leeches could give audible storm warnings. 1t consisted of twelve boutles of water, each containing a leech and a metal tube too small for it to enter easily, but into which it would try to squeeze when a thunderstorm came on, according toits nature,. In the tube was a piece of whalebone, uttached to a chain from which hung a bell, which rang when the whalebone was touched, Twelve leeches were used so as to make sure that at least one would do. bis duty . __~~=~~ wenns ‘ â€" Coming down to earth, we find a long list of statements of the Lehavior of animals and plants having a supposed connection with the weather. E. J. Lowe has carefully examined a number of well known signs, and all seem to break down completely, He took the signs of bats flying about in the evening, many toads appearing at sunset, great quantities of snails, fish raising to the surface, bees busy, crowds of locusts, restless cattle,landrails clamorous, flies and gnats troublesome, many insects, crows flocking and noisy, spider webs thick on the grass, spiders hanging from their webs in the evening, and duck« and geese makâ€" ing more noise than usual, Calling a day fine when no rain was measured in the rain gauge, he found in 361 observations of such signs that they were followed 213 times by the fine weather and only 148 by rain, Even | \ About the sun there are many fallacies, and ever since the discovery that the spots on its surface appear with greater or less frequency, theorists in shoals have tried to prove that they rule our weather. It has been proved that the frequency of sun spots and the variations of the nagnetic needle wre intimately connected, and that the wurora appears and disappears in some sort of sympathy with the sun spot variations, but this is as faras we can get for the present, as these changes seem to have no definite relation to our weather. Mr. Scort has proved that there are no equinoctial gales, others almost in the same plane. . Here is a clear case: When the angie is groateat, when the moon is *‘ on her back," there must be atmospheric disturbance. Unfortunateâ€" ly the storms do not come, and we must find some other cause for our weather, Hardly a year goes by without a new moon theory to account for it, M. Flarguergues, as the result of twenty years of observaâ€" tions, has found that when the moon was furthest from the earth the barometer averaged 755 millimetres, and when nearâ€" est, 754 millimetres, & ditference of only one millimetre. Equally unfounded are the scientific superstition, presented under the shield of astronomy, which base infallible rules for the weather on the relative position of the moon, sun, and planets. These appeal to analogy, to reason, and to\gommon sense, â€" The known action of sun arid moon on ocean tides is generally the rting ‘point of such theories, and it is clear.to common sense that when the earth is nenrer to vhe sun or the moon to the earth, or both sun and moon are pulling together, there ought to be tide of atmosphere simiâ€" lar to the tide of ocean which these influâ€" ences undoubtedly produce, But the facts do not bear the theory out ; the atmosâ€" pheric tides do not ebb and flow, except in an infinitesimal degree. Agnin, the sun and mocs move in planes that are at an angle to each other, so that at times their attraction acts in widely diverging lines, at Common â€" Relters â€" About the Weather Knocked on the Head by Medern Mete® orelogical Studyâ€"Animals, Plants, and Proverbs All Said to Be Worthless in Forecasting. Saperstitious and proverbial lore about the weather were cruelly rent in the iconoâ€" clastic address on "* Weather Fallacies" read to the Royal Meteorological Society at its recent annual meeting in London by the President, R. Inwards. In early times, when the weather had to be studied from cloud, aky, and sea, and from the behavior of animals and plants, men were pardonable for doing what is still often a cause of error foreâ€"telling what they most wished for and putting down as a universal law what was only a coincidence of independent events. Une class of propheciesconnects the weather with cortain seasons of vhe year, particularly daysin the week,or the days ofcertain nninl.a, which was a convenient way of fixing a date, ‘ and even with particular times of the day, We often hear such sayings as ** Fine on Friday, fine on Sunday," or ‘Friduy is the best and the worst day of the week," and proverbs like "rain at seven,fine at eleven. M When these sayings come true they are faithfully remembered, when they fail they are forgotten. There is no kind of foundaâ€" tion for such rules, which Mr. Inwards calls * selfâ€"exploding," or for the belief that if it rains on St. Swithin‘s day, July 15, is will rain for forty days after, That date to very near a well known bad period in wet years, as the terms * St. Margaret‘s flood," July 20, and "Lammas flood," Aug. 1, show ; the fact that some heavy raing began on July 15 was enough to establish he " law," which every one knows is l NO WEATEER SIGNS, EH ?

While the waves were sweeping over the boat and the Captain feared that they might never reach port alive, a shark, over thirty feet long, made its appearance directly in front of them, and appeared to be preparing to charge the steamer. Capt. Beck could not ren-t‘ | a shot from his ritle at the hoge fish. His aim was true and a rifle ball was imbeded in the head of the man eater. The shark, furiously lashing the water, retreated several yards and, turniog on its back, charged directly at the little steamer. The shock was so severe when the boat and fish met that those on board said it felt as if they had struck a rock. The boat quiverâ€" ed from stem to stern and swayed even more fiercely than in the storm. . The shark, however, had had enough, and retreating, sank out of sight.

You can lead a man any where by the nose of his selfâ€"esteem. Mr. Frank Bauer‘s experience is that of all others who have used the South American Nervine Tonic. Its instantaneous action in rélieving disâ€" tress and pain is due to the direct effect of this great remedy upon the nerve centres, whose fagged vitality is energized instantly by the very first dose. _ It is a great, a wondrous cure for all nervous diseases, as well as indigestion and dyspepsia. It goes to the real source of trouble direct, and the sick always feel its marvelâ€" lous sustaining and restorative power at once, on the very first day of its seemed most hopeless, I heard of a wonderful cure effected in a case somewhat similar to mine, by the Great South American Nervine Tor.ic, and I finally tried that. . On thefirst day of its use I began to feel that it was doing what no other medicine had done. The first dose relieved the distress completely. Before night I actually felt hungry and ate with an appetite such as I had not known for months, I began to pick up in strength with surprising rapidity, slept well nights, and before 1 knew it I was eating three equare meals regularly every day, with as much relishas ever. I have no hesitation whatever in saying that the South American Nervine Tonic cured me when all other remedies failed. I have recovered my old weightâ€"over 200 poundsâ€"and never felt better in my life." _ CHARLES LEAVENS Mxs.
