WEATHER FORECAST.

Following is a forecast of the
weather for the balance of Febru-
ary by Rev. Irl r. Hicks:
The 18th and 18th will bring de-
cided storm conditions, with per-
haps a sudden sweeping cold wave,
but the temperature will react
quickly to very much warmer, the
barometer will fall-winds will
change to southerly, and storms of
dangerous character will sweep
the continent from about the 22nd
to the Oath. Look for enormous
rains in many sections central and
southwark, with heavy snow and
billiards. all along the northern
side of the country. At this time
whenever II turns very warm, with
south winds and low barometer-no
matter II in the far north-expect
violent storms and carefully watch
all threatening clouds. The proba-
bilities are that dangerous local
floods may result from heavy rains,
impeded by the breaking and gorg-
ing of the ice, along the rivers and
streams that flow through narrow
valleys,
Careful and long observation has
shown us that the first regular
storm period after the center OF
Venus period is apt to bring the
heaviest storms. Unless this in
stance proves an exception, the
storm period 10Th to oath will make
record to be remembered. Look for
the heaviest disturbances about the
End, 2srd and Oath. A great cold
wave win follow from the north
west-one that may prove q terror
TO man and beast. The month goes
out growing warmer, with reaction
AIRY storm conditions increasing.

the English stamp of 1910 called tho
Rowland Hill stamp is really the

French stamp dates from nearly two
centuries earlier, in 1868. In that
year people used to buy at the Palais

A southern man gives the following
account of his discovery of chameleon

flower, with blue center. Stopping to
examine 1t, found to my astonishment
that it was not flower at all, hut q
spiders web. and that the supposed light
blue heart of the flower was the spider
itself, lying in wait for its prey. The
mottled brown legs Of the spider were
extended in such way as to resemble
the divisions between the petals If a
flower.
''The web itself, very delicately woven
into rosette pattern, was white, slsfk
the threads that suspended it from tlN
bushes were SO fine ns 20 bo almost Ia
visible. The whole thing had tbo r
pearance Of being suspended liz tho ar

ing my captive instantly turn in color

In wondering If il could not be done,

that his money should at least be buried
