Divorces in United States and Canada
philadelphia Ledger

There is material for thoughtful con-
sideration in a comparison of the divorce
statistics of Canada and the United
States. While this country has a popu-
lation which averaged twelve times that
of Canada during the period from 1897 to
1901 for which a compilation has been
made, its divorces have been 10, 900 times
as many as in the older provinces of the
Dominion. Whatever may be the influence
of the French Canadian population of
Quebec, and of the more or less conserv-
atiVe and Puritan sentiment which is still
dominant in Ontario, the Dominion has
not proved fertile ground for the growth
of doctrines tending to lessen the sanct-
ity of marriage. The power of granting
divorce is not committed to local courts
as in this country, but is reserved to the
Dominion Pertinent itself, and the pro-
cedure insures that most potent deterrent
of hasty or collusve publicity.
All the proceedings must be in accordance
with an appointed routine. the prelimi-
naries must be advertised six months in
advance and the applicant must appear
in person before committee of the SEN
ate and present his own case The diff
ference between this procedure and that
in the United States will help to account
for the fact that in the thirty-four years
referred to there were siXty-nne divorces
in Canada and nearly 100000 here.

Why Pop Corn Pops.
re. p. Hartley in Scientific Anne

to 7, HhrtIey IN ScientlIic American.I
The popping of popcorn is due to the
Volatilization of the oil content i'm the kerr
mel. Field corn does not pop as readily
as popcorn, because the outer portion of
the Kernel Is more porus, permitting the
escape of the oil as ii vOlatilizes; while in
the case of popcorn a great pressure is
developed in the kernel by the confined
oil, and the kernel is suddenly exploded
and turned wrong side out. In compo-
sition popcorn differs from ordinary corn
In having larger proportion of the cor
neous element and greater per cent. of
oil. Popcorn pops more readily when dry,
because when mostened the kernels are
swollen, more porus, toughened and do
not explode so suddenly and completely as
when dry and hard.

WEATHER PROVERBS.
A Selection Gathered and Published by
the United States Weather Bureau.

the United States Weather Bureau.
From earliest times to foretcll the
weather has had for all peoples Of all de-
grees of culture an extreme fascination.
says the National Geographical Magazine.
The direction of the winds, of insects
and animals, etc, have served to fore
shadow the coming weather Every peo-
pie and nearly every locality has its pc
culiar weather proverbs. many of which
have been handed down for many genera
lions. The modern science of meteorOl-
ogy has found that many of these ancient
popular sayings are true enough. though
many again are ridiculous. Prof. t. H..
Garrott of the United States weather bu-
reau has recently completed n careful
selection of such weather proverbs as may
be termed in the main correct for the
United States, and the collection has
been published by the weather bureau.
From it the following sayings are taken:
Every wind has its wcather-tBacon.
