Peculiar Superstition That Has Vogue
In France.
A very curious method of making
weather predictions has been discov.
cred by an old French farmer.
ION Christmas eve," he says, when
the bells begin to ring for midnight
mass, take twelve onions and place
them in a row on table. The first
onion will represent January, the sec.
ond February, and SO on. Next make
a large slit in each onion and pour
some salt into it.
IF at the end of an hour you find
that the salt in the March onion has
melted, you will know that there will
be much rain in March, and, on the
other hand, if the salt in the April
onion is not melted, you may be Ger.
tain that April will be dry month.
Moreover, if the salt in any onion
is melted at the top, but not at the
bottom, the first fortnight of the
month will be wet and the second fort
night dry."-New York Herald.

Beers Good StrateaIsts.

"Commandant General Botha told me
when in London a few months ago
that on one occasion during the war
he did not retreat with the rest Of the
Beers, but slept the night of May 20
In Germiston, within a few hundred
yards of where l was sleeping, and
that he was only able to escape the
next morning by joining one of our
mounted patrols and passing himself
of as a colonist in our employ! That
is q difficulty we always had. The
Beers could come and go in our camp
without our knowing who they were,
as we had many people of the country
In our employ"

Would Open to Commerce Great Re.
gions Of Africa. .....
French engineers have declared It 10
perfectly feasible to convert the desert
Of Sahara into a vast lake, thus open
ing to commerce great regions OF the
Interior Of Africa. which can now only
be reached by long, tedious and dam
gerous caravan journeys. They say
that a large portion of the desert
lies below the level of the Atlantic,
and that by digging a canal to let In
the waters Of the ocean the great
change could be effected easily and at
cost which would be small com.
pared to the benefits which would &C.
crue.
II the whole desert lay below the
level OF the Atlantic the flooding Of It
would create a sea more than four
times as big as the Mediterranean;
but as the Sahara Is composed Of ele.
waited plateaus, mountain ranges and
depressions. only a part would be COW
cred with water when the waves of
the ocean were let in, and the new
sea thus formed would be an irregu-
lar body of water, probably of about
the same size as the Mediterranean.
Great commercial cities would at once
spstng up on its shores and trade and
ciTNization strike at once to the heart
OF Africa. Ths sea of Sahara may
never become reality, but. in any
event. it is gigantic and pleasing
dream.
