Certain faint, shuddering recollections Of
Astronomical instruction lead me to inform
the world that atmospheric heat Is derived
from the sun. This OF course, will be news
to persons as far away as are Hamericans
from this, the mandatory OF universal
wisdom. Well, arguing from the suppo-
sition that my tutor In astronomy was a
conscientious man and did his best to tell
me the truth. am led to believe that the
sun does its full duty to London as regards
the matter OF spring and summer heat.
Sometimes the place seems like Tophei

You unhappy persons who inhabit the
half civilized North American continent

comfort experienced on hot, cloudy davs.

the warm season with "us" L,ondoners-a

fearful death to which a famous Druid

pious comments on the weather. This
would seem 70 indicate that the atmos.
pheric conditions did not please the unfor.
tunate commentator. Coming down to thu
Roman era We learn that Caesar after
spending two days in London hotel dur.
