There are cer.aln peliods Of the year

There are certain periods of the year
when cold spells occur with a degree of
regularity which has suggested the ex-
PLANTATION that they are owing TO SONS
extra-terrestrial cause. Among the IN
genious hypothesis which have bean
put forward to account for these phe-
Eomena of the weather, perhaps the
most striking is that which would make
them depend upon the situation of the
earth with respect to certain great
swarms, or belts, OF meteors revolving
around the sun. According to this the
DRY, when one of these msteoric swarms
is interposed between the earth and the
sun, enough of the solar radialiOns is
intercepted TO cause q perceptible DIM
mutton of heat upon the earth. There
are very great difficulties In the way Of
this theory, not the least of which is the
uncertainty VIII, ther q regular recur-
curence of such cold spells can be
traced. The temperature of the present
month has so far been much colder
than that of the same month last year,
and this fact seems to be opposed to the
theory in question since it shows an alb
sence of the assumed regularity in the
recurrence of cold spells. Upon the
whole. it is more likely, if prolonged
periods of cold weather are to be ascribed
to the partial cutting off OF the suns ra-
diation, that the interruption of the ra-
diation is caused by changes in the suns
atmospheric envelopes rather than by
the interpretation of meteors.

The Society islanders Idea Of the Flood.

The story of the flood is universal in
the island groups. One version is that
the great God was angry because man
slew messenger Of his and thereupon
sent deluge which destroyed all the
animals-hence there are no wild beasts
in the Society Islands-and all the peo-
pie except one man, his wife, his three
sons and their families. These were
Iaved in boat, which lodged in the
top of small hill, still pointed out.
When these persons descended from
their hill they found that all plants
and trees were dead, excepting the
cocoa-nut tree. Now how can il
be determined whether this legend
is aboriginal or imported by the early
missionaries? George Catlin once told
me similar story (only here the boat
lodged in high tree), which he found
among the Mandan Indians; the tradi,
ton was deliberately preserved among
them by its being formally related every
year, on fixed day, by an elderly In
diaa, who whitens his face and APP
breaches on horseback, as if from
Journey. This suggests that the tribe
heard it from q ''white face" was
inclined to think that the number of the
sons saved in the Pacific legend.
