common sense and experience, it is Cos

Predicting the Weather from the
Color of the Stars.

From the fact that the color of pure
water in great bulk is blue, M. Oh. Mon
tigny explains the predominance of this
color in the scintillation of the stars Just
before and during wet weather The
luminous rays, he argues, trrversing the
air charged with large quantities of water
are necessarily tinged with the blue color
OF this medium. The excess of blue thus
becomes an almost certain means of pre-
dieting rain. This theoretic conclusion
corresponds with the results of his obser-
vations, continued for several years past
on the appearance of the steller rays in
connection with the state of the weather.
During the months of fine weather
In the present year blue has been much
less conspicuous than in the correspond
ing months of previous years since 1876,
when wet weather prevailed. 1t also APP
pears that green, which had always coin
cided with clear skies during the fine
years before 1876, has recently again be-
come predominant. Hence NJ. Montigny
thinks it probable that we have got over
the cycle of bad seasons, and that dry
weather and more normal summers may
be anticipated, at least, for some time to
come.

small thread worm, is often so abundant
as to be conspicuous when the fish is
opened. But it is not true that there is
any reason to believe that this thread
worm would be injurious to man even
if swallowed uncooked and alive, and to
speak of it as a possible cause of cholera
is sheer nonsense.
The parasitic worms living within or
on the outside of other animals gener-
ally have sucker at one end, or under
meath, serving simply for attachment,
and another which is perforated. The
latter is a true suctorial mouth, being the
sole inlet of food. 1t is often surrounded
with booklets, or teeth, which serve both
to scarify the victim and secure a firm
hold. In the leech the mouth is a tri-
angular opening with thick lips, the
upper one prolonged, and with three
jaws. In many worms it is a fleshy tube,
which can be drawn in or extended, like
the eye-stalks of the snail, and contains
dental apparatus inside.
A remarkable worm known to the
natives of the Fiji islands by the name

Archipelagos of the Pacific. The worms

and are highly esteemed by the Fijians
as an artical of food. The worms only
make their appearance to spawn, and the
time is reported to be the day of the last
quartering of the moon in October, un-
less that falls at the beginning of the
month, in which case there will intervene
another lunar month. There is, however,
a second appearance of salolo each year,
occurring a month after the first, and
probably comprising such worms as were
not sufficiently mature to spawn in Octo-

The chief object of interest to the
traveller, in Yezo, the island dependency
of Japan, is the remnant of the Aino race,
the aborigines of Yezo, and not improb-
ably of the whole of Japan, peaceable
savages, who live on the coasts and in
the interior by fishing and hunting, and
stand in the same relation to their Japa-
nese subjugators as the red Indians to
the Americans. A rough census of the
Amos, made in 1878, gives their num-
bers 12,2Sl, and they are believed to be
decreasing in numbers. The "hairy Al
nos, as these sayages have been called,
are stupid, gentle, good -natured and
submissive. They are a wholly distinct
race from the japanese. In complexion
they resemble the people of Spain and
Southern Italy. The hair is Jet black,
very soft, and on the scalp forms thick,
pendant masses, occasionally wavy, but
never showing any tendency to curl.
The beard, mustache aud eye -brows are
very thick and full, and there is fre-
qusntly heavy growth of stiff hair on
the chest and limbs. Their language is
a very simple one. They have no writ
ten characters, no literature, no history,
very few traditions, and have left no i'm
preston on the land from which they
have been driven.
