WEATHER FALLACIES
THEY ARE' KNOCKED ON THE HEAD BY
! AN ENGLISH INVESTIGATOR.
The Signs That Fail M Often ma They Are
vemied Jow superstition. Exploded by
Modern Meteorological" Study Animal
i Signs NoG6pd.
i Superstitious and proverbial lore about
the weather was cruelly rent in the icon
oclastic address on "Weather Fallacies"
Tead to the; Boyal Meteorological society at '
its meeting in London by the president; .
R. Inwards, and printed in The Quarterly
Journal, of the society J ' In early times,
when, . the weather had to be studied from
cloud, sky and sea and from the behavior
of animals and plants, men were pardon
able for doing what is still often a cause
of error, foretelling what -they most wished .
for and putting down as a "universal law
what was only a coincidence of independr '
ent events; One class of prophecies con
nects the Weather, with certain seasons of
the year, particularly days in the week
or the days of certain.salnts, which was a
convenient way of . fixing a date, and even
with particular times of the day. We often
hearBuchi sayings as "Fine on Friday,
fine on Sunday," or "Friday is the best
and tho worst day of the week, " and prov
erbs like 'tRain at 7, fine at 11." When
these sayings come true they are faithful
ly, remembered, when i they fail they - are
forgotten.; There is no kind of foundation
for such 'rules, which - Mr. Inwards calls
"self exploding," or- for the belief " that if
it rains on .St. Swithln's day, July 15, it
will rain for 40 days after. .'
Equally unfounded are the scientific su
perstitions, presented under the shield of
astronomy, which base infallible rules for
the weather on the relative position of the
moon, sun land planets. These appeal to
analogy, to reason and to common sense.
The known, action of sun and moon on
ocean tides is generally the starting point
of such theories, and it is clear to common
sonse that when the earth is .nearer to the
sun or the moon to the earth, or both sun
and moon aro pulling together, there ought
to be a tide of atmosphere similar to the
tide of ocean which these' influences un
doubtedly produce. But the facts do not
bear the thoory out. The atmospherlo
tides do not " obb ahd flow', except in an
infinitesimal, degree. '
Again,! the sun and moon move In
incs that, are at an anglo to each otper,
that at times their attraction acts in
widely diverging lines, at others almost in
tho snmo plane. Here is a clear, case:
When tho anglo is greatest, when the moon
Is "on her back, " there must be atmos
pherlo disturbance. Unfortunately the
6torms 'do ' not come, and we must ' find
some other cause for our weather. Hardly
a year goes by without a new moon theo
ry to account for it. . M. Flarguergues, as
the result of '20 years of observations, has
found that when tho moon was farthest
from the: earth the barometer averaged 755
millimeters, and when nearest 754 milli
meters, a difference of Only one millimeter.
Some prophets have built their faith on
cycles, predicting that weather changes
would repeat themselves - when sun and
moon got back into the same relative posi
tion, which they do in 19 years, with an
error of only an hour and a half,. Others
advocate "a cycle of 54 years, but all the
cycle systems have broken down when
tested, and as far as we know there is no
period within which weather changes re
peat themselves. There are plenty of other
fallacies about the moon, such as that the.
full moon clears away clouds; that you
should sow beans. or cut trees on the wane
of the moon; that it Is a bad sign if the
moon. changes 'on Saturday or Sunday;
that two; full moons in a month will bring
a flood;! that to-seethe old moon in the
arms of the new brings on rain. M. Flam
marion says that "the moon's influence on
the Weather is negligible. The heat com
ing from it would affect our temperature
by twelve-millionths of a degree, and the
atmospheric -tides caused by it would only ':
affect the barometric pressure arfew hun
dredths I of an inch, far less than the
Changes ' always taking place from other
causes."! ' - . . " '
: Even the halo round the moon is dis.
credited.! It has been found by observers
that it is followed by fine weather as often
as by rain. -I. . - '. ?
- About the sun there are 'many fallacies,
and ever since the discovery that the spots
on its surface appear with greater fre
quency 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 magnetic needle
are intimately connected and ' that the
aurora appears and disappears in some sort
of sympathy with the sun spot variations,
but this is as far as we can get for the
present,.as these changes seem to have no
definite relation to ourweather. Mr. Scott
has proved that there are no equinoctial
gales, i . " . -j
Coming down to earth, we . find a long
list of statements of the behavior of ani
mals arid plants having a supposed con
nection: 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 rising to the surface, bees busy,
crowds;of locusts, restless cattle, land rails
clamorous, flies and. gnats troublesome,
many Insects, crows flocking hnd noisy,
spider wobs thick on the grass, spiders
hanging from ' their webs in the evening
and dueks and geese , making 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 313 times by fine
weather and only 148 by rain. Even swal
lows flying low cannot be depended upon,
as especially in summer and autumn they
ftlinosfi invariably skim along the ground.
Animals probably feel the dampness or
darkness preceding wet weather, add this
makes them uneasy, but hot more than it
affects man himself.. As to cows scratch
ing their ears and goats uttering cries,
j they are no more true as signs of rain than
the adage which credits pigs with seeing
the wind. .) '
Only a selection has here been made of
the vast -catalogue of fallacies that have
grown up about the weather. There- are
still, people, Mr. Inwards remarked in con
olusion, who believe that the saints'' days
rule the weather, that the sun puts out
; fire and that warm water freezes . sooner
than cold. . I 1 .

j Harry J. Xawaon and Bicycles,,
Mr. Harry J. Lawson, at a dinner given
to him in recognition of his claim to be
considered the inventor of the modern rear
driving safety bicycle, and, therefore, a
revolutionlzer of Cyole construction,' men
tioned the interesting fact that a careful,
estimate places the annual output Of these
machines at over 1,000,000 and the money
spent upon . them at over 10,000,000.
There can be no question that the present
popularity of cycling is due to .the far
greater ease and speed with which modern
improvements, such as the introduction of
the chain gear, enable them to be propelled.
Only a few years ago it would have
. seemed impossibloto do 800 miles between
one midnight and another, but 400 miles
in that space of time have come to be con
sidered no very extraordinary feat for a
good rider, and a Frenchman, M. Huret,
has done the amazing distance of 515
miles within that time. At first there was
a disposition in English cycling oircles to
throw doubts upon the genuineness of this
stupendous record, but impartial Inquiries,
on the spot seem to leave no ' doubt that
-the feat was honestly accomplished. Bi

figure is correct, and adds a compliment

Women ate to grow old. This state
ment Is not a platitude," for, however often
it may bo made, its truth and pathos dig
nify it, and it rises to the height of an
aphorism. It is well in this moment to
call attention to the fact that old women
are becoming j fashionable that is, the
old young women, for there are old young
ones as well as young old - ones, and you
And them everywhere you go. It is a time
defying' idea to -say that old women are
; the fashion, but it is an immensely phil
osophical, highly popular and eminently
comforting fact, just the same. Every
thing comes to him and to her who
knows how to wait, and at last fashion
has taken a stroll in the direction of the
old woman, j i
Dame Fashion is old herself, and she
believes in the old woman. ' When the
antique craze, won a foothold in the
world, it reached a point more important
than bric-a-brao and prayer rugs. It drag
ged many a woman from the corner and
cast asldo-the knitting work and darning, -and
forthwith she began to delve into the
storehouse of her experience, and, behold 1
grandmother- became the most Interesting
member of tho family. The antique craze'
-did; this. It holpcd tq create for her the
widest field of experience that she had
ever, known. Her reserve fund of wisdom
never falls hof. There' is work in this Hold
for her to do, and she has the capital for
- the work. That was two generations ago,
.and the old women "have been growing
fewer ever since. The species will soon
become utterly extinct.
The modern woman who is old In years
has no time to devote to the chimney cor
ner, no time for knitting work and avoca
tions which used to go band in hand with
it. Not a bit. of it. ' There are a host of
other, things for her to do now, and she
leaves the knitting and the darning and
other things of the kind to some one else,
and I am" In doubt if she. even troubles
herself to wonder who it is that does it
either. ' -' , - v ' ,. - -
Growing old is very much like going
west. . It all depends upon tbe standard of
observation. Chicago is "west' ' until you
Live in Chicago, and then Denver becomes

And so it is with old age. Thirty looks

j Fenelon and Botusear,
Possibly Fenelon has owed his great
reputation'as much to his famous quarrel

lemachus" or to his own personal merits.
It pleased the skeptical writers of the
eighteenth century to regard Fenelon as
in some : measure an encyclopedist wbo

tbe angel of sweetness and patienoe, while
in the same legend Bossuet was the fanat
ical, overbearing ecolesiastio, who, in tbe
interest of the church, would have burned
Fenelon and every other liberal spirit, j'
Tbis view was unjust both to Fenelon
and Bossuet, for tbe first was not tbe un
complaining man this .legend makes him
out to be. nor was the other cruel or un
scrupulous in any unworthy sense. Tht
"Eagle of Meaux" was exclusively s
churchman, but he was a good man, ac
cording to his own rather "narrow concep
tion of righteousness. The regard which
the eighteenth century had for Fenelon i
illustrated in a curious way by a saying o
Rousseau. "If Fenelon were living," said
a friend to him, "you would be orthodox,

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish, before proper ef-i
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts '
rightly directecL There is comfort in
the knowledge, that, so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
' ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of-tbe system, which., the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millionsof families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all '
, who value good health. Its beneficial
; effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness - without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its. bene,
iicial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by:
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful

I recommend it as superior to any prescription
known, to me. H. A. Akcher. H. D.,
Ill South Oxford Bt., Brooklyn, N.T.
. From personal knowledge and observation I
can say that Castoria is an excellent medicine
for children, acting as a laxative and relieving
the pent up bowels and general system very
much. Many mothers have told me of Its ex
cellent eCoct upon their children."

" For eefiimX years I have recommended
'Castoria,' aad shall always continue to do so
as it has Invariably produced beneficial results."

Street and 7th Ave., Now York City. -
" The useol Castoria' is so universal and Its .
tnerita so wen known that it seems a work of -
supererogation to endorse it.' Few are the
intelligent families who do not keep Castoria
within easy reach." - -
