The Moon and the Weather.

The moon Is the most powerful
agent in producing the tides on the
earth; II also produces some slight
variations in the earths magnetism.
So far as science has been able to in
vestigate there is absolutely no
change in the weather which can be
attributed to the moon. although half
or more of mankind seem to believe
that the moon does have some control
over the weather All such beliefs
including the time for planting gar
dens and for going fishing. are mere
superstitions--thc survivals Of an age
