SHADOW is SEEN
BY THE GROUNDING
Six Weeks of Old Fashioned Winter
Weather is Prom
ised.

Old Sol and the grounding exchang-
ed chances this morning. The latter
returned to his buTrow to remain six
weeks, and during that period winter
weather will continue, according to
theory. Had the little animal not
seen his shadow he would have aban-
doned his abode beneath the earth
and there would have been sunshine
and fair weather.
The annual meeting of the National
Grounding association was held this
morning at Taylor Ridge, at which
the past was reviewed and prophesies
for the future made, the officers and
members finding food for congratula-
ton in the fact that all their fore
casts to date had been fulfilled to the
letter.
Today is in Catholic liturgy the
feast of the Publication of the Nir-
gin, commonly called Candlemas day.
The festival was observed by relig
ious exercises which were held this
morning at 5 o'clock. during which
waXen candles were blessed for use
in Catholic homes during times of
Illness when the last sacraments Tex
IRENE unction) are to be administer
ed, and in times of storm and calam-
ity.
Tomorrow morning. the Feast of St.
Blasius, throats are blessed at the
morning services. This saint was
specially noted for his services dur
ing> a plague similar to the quinsy
which swept lower Europe in the
early centuries of the church. The
blessing is considered efiicacious by
those who believe in the communion
of the saints.

peWfaII Of 4 Year.

Strictly speaking, dew does not
"fall." 1t is always formed upon
the substance upon which it is
found and cannot in any sense of
the word be said to "fall" from the
atmosphere, as rain and snow do.
Dew is great respecter of colors.
To prove this take pieces of glass or
boards and paint them red, yellow,
green and black. Expose them at
night, and you will find that the yell
low will be covered with moisture,
that the green will be damp, but
that the red and the black will be
left perfectly dry. On an area of
land equal to the size of the state
of Missouri the amount of "dewfall''
per annum would be 10, 9,156,219, ,322
tons, counting the ton at esq impe-
rial gallons.
