A RIVER IN A LITTLE RILL.-A
Welsh clergyman asked a little girl
Tor the text Of his last sermon. The
child gave no answer-she only wept
He aScertained that she had no Bible in
which to look for the text. And this
led him to inquire whether parents and
neighbors had Bible, and this led to a
meeting in London in 1904, of few de.
voted Christians, to devise means to sun.
ply the poor in Wales with the Bible,
the grand issue of which was the forma
ton of the British and Foreign Bible
Socie'y-a society which has already
distributed more than 45, 900, 900 copies
OF the Bible. its issues now reaching
nearly a million and half annually.
And this. in turn, led to the formation
OF the American Bible Society, and to

How TO FoRETELL THE WEATHER. In
the manual Of the barometer, compiled hy
admiral Fifzroy, and just published by the
board of trade the following useful obsery
ations occur:
whether clear or cloudy, rosy sky ut
sunset denotes fine weathcr-a rcd sky in
the morning bad weather, or much wind.
perhaps rain-a high dawn, wind: and
low dawn. fair weather. Soft looking deli
cate clouds, forctell fine weather, with mode.
rate or light brcczes-hard edged. oily look
ing clouds, wind dark, gloomy blue sky,
windy, but bright blue sky moderate fine
weather. Generally, tho softer clouds look,
the less wind, but perhaps the more rain
may be expected; and the harder. more
greasy rolled. turftcd, or ragged, the
stronger the wind will prove. Also, a
bright yellow sky at sunset prcsagcs wind;
a pale yellow wet; and thus by the prcva-
lence oired, yellow or grey tints, the coming
weather may he told 7ery nearly-indeed if
aided py instruments, almost exactly.
Small inky looking clouds foretel rain:
light scud clouds driving across masses,
show rain and wind; but if alone, may indi-
cate wind only.
High upper clouds, crossing the sun,
moon, or stars, in direction difreren,
irom the lower clouds, of the wind then felt
below, iorctell change ofwind. When the
sea birds fly out early and far to seaward
moderate and fair weather may be expected
When they hang about the land, or over il.
sometimes flying inland, expect strong
wind with stormy weather.
There are other signs Of coming change
in the weather known less generally than
may be desirable, and are, therefore. wor-
thy of noiice-such rs when birds of long
hight-rocks, swallows, cranes and others
hang about home. and fly up and down, or
low, raiu. and wind may be expected. !. Also
when animals seek sheltered places instead
of spreading oveI their usual range; when
snekc from chimneys does not round read
lily, or start Upwards during calm, an un.
favorable change is probable.
Dew is an indication of fine weather, 80 is
fog. Neither Of these formations occur
under an overcast sky or when there is
much wind. One sees fog occasionally
rolled away, as it were by wind. but seldom
or never formed while it is blowing. -
