NATIONAL WASHINGTON o. THURSDAY a.

Gently given, ii Is only In anticyclones (highs)
that local currents of air, probably due to un-
equal heating of sea and land, can override the
general circulation of the atmosphere in this
country. Sometimes in Winter, on the southern
side of the anticyclones thighl bitter east winds,
with black-looking sky, will prevail for sew
eral days together, when 1t may be truly said:
When the wind is In the east
'Tis neither good for man nor beast.
Sometimes, also the sky in the region OF the
anticyclono NigD will be covered with a uni
form stratus cloud, which is not Of any great
thickness, and where breaks occur the sun is
seen to be shining brightly above. On the
northeast side of the antcyclone in Summer
light eumulus clouds frequently form in the
morning, gradually increase until after maxi
mum temperature has passed, and then de-
crease and disappear towards evening. Hence
the saying:
If woollen feeces spread the heavenly way,
BE sure rain disturbs the Summer day.
When the cumulus clouds are smaller at
sunset than they were at noon, expect fair

is that one of the gods bears the face of Marco
Polo These gods are supposed to represent
the 800 incarnations of Buddha, and the faces
of no two of the gods are alike Some of them

Is usually long whiskered one. One of these

Chinese idea of hell by Chinese artist. The

Outside of the Buddhists the Chinese who
believe in Confucus have their gods by the
dozens. The popularity about their gods is
that they never make one without whiskers
and inasmuch rs the whiskers are very rudely
put on, they turn what is intended to be sub
lime into the supremely ridiculous. They have
their gods of literature, their gods of war, of
agriculture, of fortune and of health. There
