Weather Forecasts.

I: seems to be overlooked b,
meteorologists, says writer in th
Journal Of Science, that when seas
on has taken q decided character
whether as wet or dry, the ordinary
indications of change seem to los
their meaning. In 1879 all signs. o,
fair weather, drawn from the appe ,r-
ance of the clouds, the actions ot
birds and insects, etc., were quite
misleading. And in the present
season I have more than once seen
the commonly accepted signs of rain
go for nothing. The sky may become
gradually overcast with dark ragged
masses of underscud; there may be a
''hollow and a clustering wind,"
swallows may fly low, slugs come out
in numbers, bubbles of gus rise from
bitches, ETC., but the weather remains
dry, or at the most there is slight
shower .-Sctentifc american.
