The Moon and the Weather

The notion that the moon exerts an
influence on the weather Is so deeply
rooted that, Notwithstanding all the at
tacks which have been made against it
since meteorology has been seriously
studied, it continues to retain its hold
upon US. And yet there never was a
popular superstition more utterly with
out basis than this one. II the moon
really did possess any power over the
weather, that power could only be exer-
cised in one of three ways-by reflection
OF the SUMS rays, by attraction or by
emanation.
No other form of action is conceivable.
Now, as the brightest light of full moon
is never equal in Intensity or quantity
to that which is reflected towards us by
u white cloud on summer day, it can
scarcely be pretended that weather is
affected by such cause. That the moon
does exert attraction on us is manifest;
we see it's working in the tides; but
though 1t can move water, it is most un-
likely that it can do The same to air, for
the specific gravity of the atmosphere
is so small that there is nothing to be
attracted.
Laplace calculated. indeed, that the
joint attraction of the sun and moon to-
gether could not stir the atmosphere at
quicker rate than nye miles day. AS
for lunar emanations, not sign of them
has ever been discovered. The idea of
an influence being produced by the
phases Of the moon is therefore based OIL
no recognizable cause whatever. Fur
thermore, it is now distinctly shown
tEat no variations at all really occur in
weather at the moment of the changes OF
quarter, any more than at any other or
binary times.
Since the establi ;hment of mete o olog.
ical stations all over the earth, it has
been proved by millions of obserV ations
that there IS no simultaneousness what
ever between the supposed cause and
the supposed effect. The whole story is
a fancy and su. etstit,ol which has
been handed down to US uncontrolled,
aud which we have accepted as true be-
tuse our fol efathers believed 1T. The
moon exercises no more influence on
weather than herrlngs do on the gov
ernment OF SwitZerland.-[B [Blackwood.

Quails and Corn.

A farmer boy in Ohio, recently observ-
ing small flock of quails in his fathers
corn-feld, resolved to watch their mo-
tions. They pursued very regular
course, in their foraglng, beginning on
one side of the field, taking about five
rows, and following them uniformly to
the opposite end, returning in the same
manner over the next five rows. They
continued in this course until they had
explored the greater part of the field.
The lad believing tlat tLey were pulling
up the corn, fired into the flock, killing
but one OF them, and examined the
ground In the whole space which they
traversed he found but one stalk of corn
disturbed. This was nearly scratched
out of the ground, but the ealth still ad-
hered to it. In the crop of the quail he
found one cut-Worm, twenty-one striped
vine bugs, and one hundred chinch bugs,
but not single grain OF corn.- Lu-

A Mean Fellow.

At the little village of Barnegat-on-the-
Hudson there was curious ending to
a courtship. For over year man
who is now the managing director " OF
O land speculation had been paying his
addresses to the adopted daughter of an
old farmer who was formerly a well
known commission merchant in New
York. The old gentleman treated him
we'll, supposing that he would in time
become his daughters husband, and all
went merry as marriage bell. The
Lothario proposed to the girl, was ac-
cepted, and day was set for the we'd
ding. All the friends OF the family were,
of course, deeply interested in the
match,' and soon the swift revolving
wheels of time brought round what
should have been the auspicious day.
The guests had assembled, the feast was
spread, and came the holy man who was
to unite the twain in the golden chain
of wedlock. Then came the climax. At
the last moment the groom refused
point blank to become the husband,
allegingas the only cause of his infidelity
that che did not love the girl
enough to make her his wife" This
was outrageous enough under all the
circumstances. but worse and more pre-
posterous followed. for the man had the
effrontery to tell the old and very infirm
father that as he "was out Of money"
he would be greatly obliged if he might
stay at the house for week or two, and
strangely enough his wish was granted
and he accepted the old mans hospitali
ty. Then he left, and the matter
dropped. A stranger series OF domestic
peculiarities and more sublime cheek
have seldom been seen on the footstool.
