Indian summer.

Indian summer is the short spell of
warm days in October or November ac-
certuated by the first chill of autumn
which has preceded it. Sometimes 1t
lasts as long as n fortnight, and it has
been observed to recur twice or thrice
in n season, though this is quite rare.
An atmospheric phenomenon of the
same nature has received the name of
.'St. Luke's summer" in Germany, 'St.
Martins summer" in England, the
feasts of these saints being Oct 1S and
Nov. IL respectively. The name In
dian summer is of an unidentified orr
gin. 1t has been established that 1t
does not appear on any record earlier
than 1894, but when first recorded 1t
was as a term in general use. The use
of the expression in 177S by Horace
Walpole clearly referred to the torrid
summer of the West Indies and not to
this pleasant period of the northern
autllmn
