They Understood Weather.

The Temple of the Winds at Ath-
ems shows the knowledge the ancient
Greeks had of the weather that came
when the wind blew from different
points of the compass. 1t is a little
marble tower with eight sides, which
are built to face tie eight principal
winds. On each side of the temple is
carved human figure that pictures
the character and qualities of the par
ticular wind it faces.
The north wind is represented as
a man warmly dressed, blowing on a
trumpet made of seashell to show
that 1t brought booming cold weather
The northeast wind, which then, as
now, brings cold, snow and sleet or
hail, is figured by an old man with a
cruel face, who is rafting slingstones
in shield, an action that brings to
mind the noise and power Of hail
! storms.
The east wind which brings to
Athens rain for growing crops, Is ex-
pressed by the image of young man
with flowing hair and open face, hav-
ing his looped-up mantle filled with
fruit, honeycomb and corn.
The west wind is indicated by the
figure of a slightly clad and beautiful
youth with his lap full of flowers.
And so on with the winds from all
around the compass. Each has its
qualities written in stone by the
ancient Grecian sculptors.
Reading these pictures of different
kinds of weather and comparing them
with the records of to-day, the mod
ern scientist learns that the climate of
Greece has not changed enough to
make any great difference, so far as
the winds are concerned, for more
| than twenty centuries.

lakes the water becomes quite thick
