hopefully to wait for such kind favor as fortune
might send them.
Perhaps it was seeing the nakodo coming from
Jui,ichis house, perhaps it was the talk with his
WIFE that set Chobei to thinking definitely about
the future of his son. Heretofore there had been
only vague recognition of the fact that sometime
before many years had gone Soich would marry
and set up his own home Now suddenly it came
to him with shock that the boy grown to

Then Soichi showed the mettle that in him,

reply, Professor Moore said
that, much to his regret, he

of this sort makes difference to the weatherwise
persons spoken of, who find special significance in
the fact that the alleged planet makes circuit
of the solar luminary in exactly week. Weather
phenomena imagined popularity to arrange
themselves a weekly plaza notion that is ex-
pressed for example, by the saying that if the first
Sunday in a month is rainy, it will rain every Sun
day in that month.

value to the long-range weather prophets dis

carbault. He kept small telescope in his shop
and when not occupied in cobbling was accustomed
to take occasional squints at the heavens, putting
down the results of his observations with piece

he saw dark object pass the face of the sum-

Leverrier at that time in search of just such
planet the dark object in question might be sup
posed to be- to account for certain celestial per-
turbations and thus he led to give to the dis
covery" his authoritative Endorsement.
Subsequently it decided by astronomers that
Vulcan was myth; but even if it existed there is
apparent way in which, from distance of
eghty-six million miles, it could affect the weather
on the earth. 1t is not believed by the Weather
Bureau that the planets have any appreciabe in
fuence upon meteorological conditions on the globe
that inhabit. The moon seems to have some
influence upon the atmospheric tides but it is too
slight to be worth considering seriously. We also
get little heat from the lunar orb as Professor
Langley has proved by of his wonderful in
strument called the boometer; but it amounts
to only two three thousandths of a degree

Long range forecasts of type long familiar are
published in the alfnanacs, and usually are made
up from the Tables of Hersche" These tables

astronomer for the purpose of showing the relation

the lunar orb, the fact that it

ocean is known well enough,

this way it is able to lift the

cation of what it can do in
the way of causing tidal
movements of the atmosphere,
resulting in storms, etc.
All of the planets are sup
posed by the self-appointed
forecasters to have more or
less influence upon the weather;
but most important of them
all in this relation is Vul-
can, a celestial body which
moves around the sun at
mean distance of seven million
miles, being the innermost of
all the planets. Astronomers
are not acquainted with Vul-

deny that it exists; but trifle

CHASED JACK RABBIT
IN THE COURTHOUSE

cit was an awful chase, but I won,'
painted Ed Haley, electrician at the
courthouse, this forenoon, as he emerged
from the darkest corner of the base
ment and held up to the light and the
admiring gaze of his fellow workers a
large, white kicking ~jackrabbit. Where
the white traveller of the plains came
from, or how it got into the courthouse,
are mysteries.
Ed was sauntering leisurely along
the first floor at the courthouse when
he saw a streak Of light. He recog-
nized it as a jackrabbit and gave
chase. The frightened animal was
headed off by two men coming up the
corridor who were more startled ever
than the rabbit. Thus surrounded the
rune darted into the jail elevator
and Ed darted after it, the elevator
man closing the door after him.
Then round and round the cage
chased the pursued and the pursuer up
til Ed seized a hind leg and held fast.
The elevator was lowered to the base
ment and the animal catcher left the
car. No sooner had he descended the
steps than with one wondrous twist Mr.
Rabbit broke his captor's hold and was
away into the dark corners of the
basement. Ed grabbed a club and was
off in hot pursuit.
Into the lumber piles, over the heaps
of waste material and thru rubbish
sped the rabbit, and Ed followed. Al
last he won, and his wife is said to be
preparing a rabbit stew. .
