Some persons still believe that the
weather is controlled, to an important
extent. by the influence of the moon or
the planets. Long-range weather pre-
dictions, based upon this supposed in
fluence, are published, apparently find
ing a considerable number of believers,
or it would not pay to print them. An
other experiment of this sort is now
being tried in Russia.
During the past year journal called
Climat has been published every two
months at st. Petersburg. 1t is print
ed in English, German, French and
Russian under the editorship of Mr..
Nicolai Demtschinsky. The earlier
numbers were devoted to predictions of
the weather for long time in advance
by means of certain deductions based
upon the alleged influence of the moon.
The publication of these articles seems
to have revived some interest in the
matter. The predictions were made
to include places as far away as Aber-
deem. Scotland. and Valencia. Spain.
DIR. II. r. MILL the editor of Symons'
Monthly Meteorological Magazine has
lust subjected the predicted weather
conditions for Aberdeen and Valencia
to the test of comparison with the
weather actually observed at those
places. The results are disastrous for
the predictions. He found, as was to
be expected. that practically the fore
casts as a whole would apnear to be

stations are concerned. note in the
Bulletin of the American Geographical
Society says that, as far as the writer
has observed, this is the only published
comparison of predictions with the
facts of observed weather.
1t cannot be said that any note
worthy results have yet been attained
from the efforts of many persons to
trace the supposed influence of the
moon upon weather. DR.. Ham, in
his great work on "Klimatologie"
makes no allusion to the matter. Prof.
Davis of Harvard, in his Elementary
Meteorology" says: The control of

levers to support the publication of
elaborate long-range weather predic-
tions. AS these are couched in general
language and intended to be applicable
to large areas of the country it is not
at all difficult to gather a number of
verifications for them; but they are
no better than the forgotten predic-
tions of estrology of centuries ago."

AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN.
Greater Community of Interests Thal
in ANY other Country.

Greater Community of Interests Than
In Any other Country.
America is the land of homes, and
taking into account the number of in
habitants, no larger proportion OF its
inhabitants live in boarding houses
and hotels than do those of England.
It is also to much greater extent
than any other country of the world
the land of equality and community
of interests between men and women.
II one takes the typical American
husband and wife one will certainly
find that their common interests are
many; that the wife liz a companion to
her husband, and that, knowing she is
his intellectual equal, the American
man discusses freely and confidentially
with his wife his professional and
business relations to a far greater eX-
tent than does the typical English
man. Club life among married men is
not nearly so common in America as
in England. Throughout the length
and breadth of the United States thou
sands upon thousands of husbands and
wives spend their evenings reading to-
gether the books and magazines, or the
wife doing a bit of fancy work or
mending while the husband reads aloud
from the newspapers. Many American
husbands and wives have taken up
what is known as the "Chautauqua
course; many a western farmer and
his wife thus spend their winter eve
nings. Then let us take the young
unmarried men and women of my
country. Surely they do not lead very
separate lives, and their interests in
common are many Who takes the
American girl to the museums of art,
to the theater. to the concert? Who
sends her presents of bonbons. books,
and flowers, all for the pleasure of her
society and companionship? 1t is the
American young man. He can do 1t,
too. without feeling that his attentions
will be misunderstood. for America is
the land of good comradeship between
men and women. There friendship,
deep and lasting, without any thought
of love making, or marriage. may ex-
list between the unmarried OF the two
sexes, and it seems to be the only
country in the world where it can ex-
ist. Certainly such a state of things
between the young men and the young
women of a country points not to a
separation, but to a community OF in
terests.-Elizabeth l.. Banks in Lon
don Mail.

Mr.. Charles N Packard of Boston.
Mass. who keeps himself eloseted from
the outer world most OF the time in a
dark room, forecasts an astronomical
event which will be OF interest to the
entire country. He says that the four
big planets-Jupiter. Mars, Venus and
Saturn-will come together in Novem-
ber, a situation which has probably
never before occurred within the mem
ory OF man. There will be no clash, but
II will be an event worth witnessing.
Mr.. Packard has evolved a device. both
interesting and instructive, which for
want of better name he calls an as
Economical clock. Mr. Packard's astro-
nomical clock is an almanac in itself.
The intricacy OF dials which show what
time 1t is in London, Chicago, st. Pc
tersburg, Melbourne and Manila, the
hour at which IT will be full sea at New
York and Boston. the number of days
since the new moon, the day of the
month, the signs of the zodiac as well
as details which are of little interest
to the unscientific mind is operated
by the works of cheap clock which
moves an ingenious system of gears.
The cutting Of the gears so that the
whole mechanism should move in har-
mony was the greatest problem which
Mr.. Packard had to solve. He knew
that his theory was all right, but the
working out of the details was some
what laborious task. The clock was
finished two years ago and in that time
not the slightest discrepancy has mani
tested itself. The outer disk, which is
stationary. has an enameled face on
which are marked the different times
Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific,
Manila, st. Petersburg, London. This
process is a simple one, the disk being
merely divided into 3G0 degrees. the
relative positions of the different cities
as regards time being determined by
their variation in longitude. Inside of
the stationary disk is a clock face,
which is divided into "a hours, as
shown in the illustration. When the
clock was photographed it was 5: 40,
eastern time, or the time which pre-

WAS A CHINESE JOKE.


A strange state of mind evidently
prevailed in Pekin during the Boxer
outrages outside the walls. outrages
which were momentarily expected to
be repeated within the city limits,
says the Youths Companion. Every
body was preparing fer a catastrophe,
and nobody could be sure why. 1t all
seemed like a huge practical joke,
which could not be taken seriously,
and yet 1t was serious, and everybody
knew it was. There was apparent
peace, with certainty of coming
trouble. The foreigners were gathered
in places of safety. and the COM
pounds they had left remained un-
molested One incident curiously
shows the combined iightness and
frenzy of the public mind. On cer-
tain evening boy of about 16 walked
down a street, marking a door here
and there with a circle of white chalk,
before which he bowed solemnly. Pres
emily all the people came to their doors
in n great state of excitement and be-
gan to discuss the proceedings and de-
bate as to what it might mean. The
marked houses might belong TO the
friends or foes of the Boxers. the saved
or lost. Suddenly a man went up to
to the boy, seized him by the pigtail
and asked him what he meant. The
bystanders were amazed at a courage
which dared interfere with an ennis
sary of the Boxers and the boy him
self tried to swagger little and
brazen it out. What were you doing
it for?" insisted the man. Tell or
take you TO the police station" Then
the boy fell on his knees and owned
that he was only doing it for joke
to frighten the people. His success
had exceeded his hopes.
