THE YOUNG MOON.
Theory that It is Attended by Bright,
Clear Weather.

NlcdT NCdllCTs
New Orleans Times Democrat
Throughout the ages humanity in diff
ferent parts OF the globe has been prone
to attribute strange influences TO the moon,
not only as to the effects its phases have
upon the tides of the ocean, but upon the
weather, and even, in extreme cases upon
human nature itself and human destiny.
While this has been generally regarded by
iatterday people as an abiect superstition,
vet many superstltions have had substrata
of truth, auu lately even the scientific world
has beer giving some attention as to the
moons effects on the weather. short
while ago, one Of the monthly publica
lions OF The National weather bureau con.
tanned an article beHiing on this subject.
Inc question came up Yesterday IN O
rector Clincs office Director CItN de-
Cliicd himself as decidedly skrptical.
There NAV be no truth In the theory OF
the moons effect upon the weather, re-
marked a gentleman present, 'hut yet some
experiments that have male lately rather
Incline to the other belief For three
and Octobar-l kept daily record of the
weather conditions with reference 20 the
changes of the moon. From these obscrva-
fions | found this: That no matter wheth-
er the weather is warm or cold, the period
during the new moon is bright and vigor-
Gus With the air fresh, the sky free from
clouds the mornings without mist and the
nights vivid, the moon and stars being IN
obstIucted. Toward and during the last
quarter ! found the rainy days the foggy
mornings. the heavy nights and while my
spirits were high and vigorous during the
new moon, I found that they partook OF
the heayincss of the old, and were inclined

Now these are the results of my actual
observations made from day to day, kept
on my calendar which was continually be-
fore me on my desk If | had only kept
the record for one month 1t would have
