The regular Vulcan storm period
Is central on the Ist, extending to
the 5th. The presence of the mer-
curry disturbance will prolong the
Vulcan period, causing cloudy,
threatening and rainy weather, per-
haps, into the reactionary storms
central on the 9th and 9TH. The
moon will be In perigee or nearest
Earth on the 5th, and at Its north
extreme and new moon on the 9th.
These facts are sure to increase the
tendency to high temperatures,
fuctuating barometrlc pressures,
storms and very likely seismic ,n-
rest In many parts of the earth.
There can be no reasonable doubt
that the peculiar conditions last
summer were the direct results of
the unusual concentration of plan
ets; and that the appalling seismic
horrors now falling upon many sec.
tons of our planet, are only the
sequel to this same astronomic
combination, all of which have been
foreshadowed In our charts and
forecasts for ten years, no one can
reasonably disprove.
The annual tendency to electri
cal and seismic disturbances from
about the 10th to near the end of
of June, will be increased this
month. At the Vulcan storm per.
iod, central on the 18th, and cover
Ing the 9th to 10th, an excess of

ural. Heavy hailstorms, and
marked, sudden changes to very

We name Monday, the 23rd, to
Friday, the 27th, as period of
severe and prolonged perturbations.
during which days the daily thun-

Saving the Money.

In a certain parish in Scotland col
lectors were going round soliciting con-
tributions for the kirk. On coming to
a wretched little howell they hesitated
whether or not to enter, but finally de-
cided to 'try their luck" A hale old
man greeted them, and to him they ex-
planned their GRAND, but he really had
nothing to give them, he said.
Cant 70 gle up your whisky"' one
of the visitors asked. NO" he said,
81 don't drink 'whusky.'" Perhaps
then he could forego the pleasures of
snuff. No, he didn't use snuff.
The collectors prepared to move on.

Statesman end Gns.lb bier.

Charles James Fox. the English
statesman, was even more notorious in
the gaming world than he was famous
in the world of politics. He had squan-
dered i250,000 before coming of age.
He became one of the most profigate
gameSterS of the vicious days in which
he lived. Some of his finest displays in
debate were sandwiched between eX-
element such as would unnerve most
men who had no serious business on
hand. Walpole has given a glimpse of
a typical passage in this extraordinary
mans life. He had to take part in the
discussion On the thirty-nine articles in
parliament on a certain Thursday. He
had sat up playing hazard from Tues
day evening until o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon. An hour before he had
recovered 100000 that he had lost and
by dinner time, which was 5 o'clock,
ended losing $4,000. On Thursday he
spoke in the debate, went to dinner at
past II at night; thence to a club,
where he drank till I the next morn
ing; thence to gambling house, where
he won $4,000, and between 3 and 4
in the afternoon he set out on a jour
ney to Newmarket.

gou~fhaUs0Er n Bees Tongue.


Man is often blamed for driving to
extinction many sorts Of beautiful
creatures, but the account is far more
than balanced by the amount Of good
he has done for those animals which
proved useful and could be tanned.
Take the case Of the bee. The bee
lives by it's tongue, with which organ
it is able to extract the honey from
flowers. Now, a bees tongue is natu-
rally about q twenty-ffth of an inch
long. Clever beekeepers, bykeeping only
those bees with naturally long tongues,
have succeeded in lengthening the
tongues Of number of bee colonies
to the extent Of another hundredth of
an inch. It does not sound much but
it enables those insects to do a quar-
ter as much work again in the same
time.
Man has done more than this for
bees. He has given them ready made
homes, where they are safe from wasps
and other enemies; frames for making
their combs without using large guam
titles of wax for outside walls, ana
food during flowerless weather.

The Students Prayer.

There was long age a divinity hall
presided over by a most amiable and
dignified professor. On certain days
the senior students opened the proceed
ings Of the day with prayer. One morn
ing a raw youth from remote re-
gion performed this duty. and it was
memorable occasion. None who were
present can forget how the venerable
professor turned and gaZed on the I'M
tutored lad, who prayed for him as
follows: Lord. have mercy on our
professor for he is weak and ignorant
Strengthen his feeble hands. confirm
his tottering knees. and grant that be
may go out and in before us like the
he goat before the flock. '-'"Twenty-

Thunder Lore.

The natives of the Hawaiian Islands
considered thunder as being Mauna
Loas echo from the clouds. This Gu
rious notion has crystalliZed a weather
proyerb which is now current among
many of the white residents of the
islands-viz, 1T will rain today;
Mauna Loa shakes the Clouds" In
this connection il may be remarked
that the early Scandinavian settlers in
Iceland believed that there We're some
mysterious and supernatural cOnnec-
tons between the rOaringS OF Hecia and
the angry mutterings Of Jove.' In
England many of the pcasantry still
plant the house leek-"JUpiter's beard
on their house roofs as 4 preventive
against thunder, lightning and evil
spirits, a custom which reminds one Of
Charlemag ne's edict, EFT haDeat Quis
que supra dOmum suam Joyis bar
bam."
Another widespread superstition. and
one that has been nOted among the
tribes and nations from China TO Eng
land and from Cape Hatteras to tie
Golden Gate, tells us that if the 'claps"
or reports Of thunder come in even
numbers the storm will be Of short
duration and very mild, but, on the
other hand, if they come in uneven
numbers, especially if the reports be
a series Of five. nine or thirteen dis
tinct claps. much loss Of life and prop
erty will result
