Signs of Good and Bad Weather

SlSHb Oh OOOu 6Tu baU We0Uner.
A hint or two on weather prophecy.
When clouds are red in the west, the
red having purple tint, 1t is sign of
fine weather. The air when dry re.
tracts red or Matchmaking rays, and as
dry air is not perfectly transparent
these are again reflected in the hori-
zon. An old proverb says:
A rainbow in the morning is the shep-
herds warning.
A rainbow at night is the shepherds
delight.
A rainbow occurs when the clouds
containing or deposting the rain are
opposite to the sun. In the evening
the rainbow is in the east, and in the
morning 1t In in the west. AS the
heavy rains in this climate are usually
brought by the westerly winds, rain
bow in the west indicates that bad
weather is on the road; whereas the
rainbow in the east proves the con-
trary.
When the swallows fly high fine
weather is to be expected or to con-
tinue. But when they fly low ap-
preaching rain is indicated Swallows
follow the flies and gnats, and flies and
gnats usually delight in warm strata
of air. AS warm air is lighter and
moister than cold air, the warm STRAIT
of air run higher. but when the warm
and moist air is close to the ground
it is almost certain that as the cold
air flows down into it, water will fall.
AS an indication of the approach of
wet weather, nothing is more certain
than a halo around the moon, which
is produced by tAe precipftated water;
and the larger the circle the nearer the
clouds, and, consequently, the more
ready to fall. A coppery or yellow
sunset also foretells rain.
Observations teaches that when the
sea gulls assemble on land, stormy and
rainy weather is approaching. The lit
tie petrol enjoys the heaviest gale, be-
cause living partly on the smaller sea
insects, he is sure 20 find his food in
the spray of heavy waves. The fish
on which they prey in fine weather at
sea leave the surface and go down
deeper during the storm. The differ
ent tribes of wading birds always mi
crate when rain is about to take place.

Blood Thicker Than Water.

That it exists there can be no doubt.
Even to people on this side of the At
lantic it is apparent; and those who,
like myself, have lately passed through
the United States can testify to its in
tensity and spontaneity. The cause
which has produced it is not far to
seek. A greater sympathy and friend
ship has been apparent for two or three
years. Even the excitement about the
Venezuelan dispute failed to disturb
it; and when it looked as if Continent
! tai Europe was disposed to enter the
contest between the United States and
Spain, not so much in defense of Span
ish interests as with q view of humili-
ating the United States, there appeared
genuine sympathetic interest which
extended from the man in the street
to the Cabinet Minister at whitehall
We pitied the fall of Spain, but we
could not help feeling that our kins-
men were taking up the cause for
which this country in the past has
spent 40 much and made such gigantic
sacrifices. AS became 4 neutral, we
were unmoved spectators of events, I'M
til that whisper arose which stirred us
all to our depths.
When it became evident that an in
trigue was on foot to throw Latin
alliance into arms against the United
States, the voice Of Great Britain was
Enthusiastically heard, and we showed
plainly that in such an event Great
Britain must be reckoned with, and
any attempt to wrSst from our kins-
men the gains won by her sons ashore
and aflOat by combination of CONT
mental Europe, would have to meet the
whole Anglo-Saxon race in armed al
lance. The storm passed, but that lit
tie proof of our sincerity did more
than a torrent of words to establish
cordial relations between the United
States and Great Britain. Our kins-
men realized for the first time, what
we have never doubted over here, that.
differ as we may between ourselves,
neither of us would ever see the flag
of Anglo-Saxon freedom dipped on
either side Of the Atlantic to an over
whelming combination OF Continental
Europe-Lord Charles Beresford in

Canada Eual Problem,

"The most serious problem that con
fronts the Canadian people of the fu-
ture," says Colonel Seyfert in letter
to the State Department from STRAIT
ford, lis material for fuel. The gigan.
tic lumber industry and the great an.
nual forest fires have so denuded the
timber area of Ontario that the people
are thoroughly alarmed about the fu-
ture fuel supply. Hard wood for fuel
Is now worth from Sc to So cord and
soft from So to So, while. coal, which ia
all imported from the United States,
costs Sc a ton. The item Of fuel is,
therefore one of the heaviest expenses
to every person in this latitude of long
and severe winters. An ordinary resi-
dent will consume no less than 500
worth of fuel year. 1t has been well
known for years that there are extern.
sive beds of peat bog in Canada, and
particularly in the providence of On
tario. An effort has been made during
the last six months to utilize this
product of nature In Holland, Ireland,
Wales and Bavaria peat has long been
the chief fuel used by the people. The
recent invention Of machinery by
means of which vast areas of hitherto
unused boys can be converted into
marketable peat has opened up q new
Canadian industry"
