The business Of the weather bureau
is to keep a careful record of meteoro-
logical phenomena and to note prob
a bilities." This is all he is expected
to do in return for the millions he re-
ceives. "Meteorology' is at best only
a pseudo-science. There is no ground
for confident prediction in it's vague
and constantly changing data, and
long forecasts Of the weather will not
be made by more scientific persons
than the compilers OF almanacs until
some one has measured the influence of
the Japanese current, the spots on the
sun and the habits of the ground hog.

EngIisl, Fashionable Society Irreligious.
It is no uncommon thing to hear
from the pulpit or elsewhere lament
over the lowered faith and morals of
the upper classes; and, without indulg-
ing in any sensational exaggeration,
we are driven by the evidence of facts
to conclude that such lamentation is
justified, says the London Church
Times. There is the increase OF con-
jugal infidelity in fashionable society
and the callous Indifference with
which it is viewed. There is the COM
plete secularization of Sunday with its
selfish Indifference to the rights of
those who are thereby deprived of
their day of rest. There is a shame
less contempt for the ordinances of the
church. Quite lately we CHANGED to
notice in the World an account OF
fashionable luncheon party, at which
member of the royal family and 9TH
er "leaders of society" were present.
The occasion selected for this enter
tainment was Good Friday. All these
things, together with the flippant and
irreverent tone which has come to be
the distinguishing mark Of the Smart
set" are, of course, only the outward
signs of the internal whitening away
of religion. They have become, I'M
fortunately, matters of notoriety. The
tone of fashionable society is becom-
ing increasingly irreligious, and the
church is directly concerned to
evangelize the CLASSES" no less thaD
the masses
