WATCH THE PLANETS.
Jonathan Moore Figures Out Their
Influence on Earth.

Hartford, April 25.-In Jonathan
D.. Moore of No 5S Maple avenue,
father-in-law of Frank r. Ware, who
conducts lunch room in the Con-
necticut Mutual building, Hartford,
has weather prophet who bids fair
to rival Uncle" Horace Johnson,
the Middle Haddam seer. Mr.
Moore's friends will tell you all
about his accuracy in predicting
some of the storms of the past win
ter weeks ahead of their coming.
Nearly 10 days previous to last sun
daS he predicted rainy Easter and,
sure enough, some rain came, al
though it was small shower. Mr.
Moore was born in Delaware, but
has spent much of his life in Mary
land, Mississippi, Missouri and ILL
nois and has paid considerable at
tention to weather conditions. Like
Horace johnson, he is a firm believer
in the influence of the planets on
the earth.
Mr. Moore says that throughout
April our planet has been under the
controlling influence of Venus, Mars,
commenced with new moon and
will end with one, and this, COM
bined with the influence of the plan
cts, has been the cause of the many
changes in the weather during the
month, bringing cold and high
winds. rain and snow, warm days
and occasionally warm nights. He
says the weather will continue
changeable till the first of May.
During May and June, Venus will
be passing toward Mars, and Jupiter
toward Saturn. In the latter month
Venus and Mars will be in harmony
from the I'd until the 14th, causing
frequent showers, Mr. Moore says,
especially in Connecticut, though the
rain will be very light After the
14th with Saturn, which according
to Mr. Moore's theory, will cause
warm, sultry days with thunder
showers. In July, from the 4th TO
the 18th, Venus will be approach
ing Mars. which will cause a period
of extreme heat. As Jupiter will be
passing near Saturn during this pc
riod. there will be terrific electrical
storms with hail. in localities near
this city. In Mr. Moore's opinion the
spring and summer is to be a rather
dry period. though not one of ex-
IRENE drought.

Care of Scalp and Hair.

Falling hair is a most common COM
plant and one which causes great
anxiety. Some people do not know
that their state of health is directly
the cause of loss of hair. In correcting
this condition attention to ones general
health is a most important considera-
ton. Plenty of good, fresh air, mod
crate exercise, attention to diet and
sufficient rest are important remedies,
without which no hair tonic is of much
aid, although the latter, intelligently
selected, Is to be recommended also.
Another remedy which is most helpful
In cases of falling hair is scalp mas
sage, applied daily in extreme cases.
A great cause of falling hair in this
twentieth century is worry and living
at high pressure, particularly the con-
slant rush and excitement Of life in
large cities. The wear and tear on the
nerves are productive of the most tell
ing lines in the face as we'll as ruinous
to the healthy, luxuriant growth of
hair.
Since 1t is no longer the thing to have
dry, dead-looking hair, women are doing
everything to regain that glossy look
of well-keptness that has been lost so
long from constant misuse. A little

To Get Rid of HTica.

All houses are more or less over-run
with mice, and, as the tiny creatures
are capable of doing a great deal of
mischief, 1t is only natural that the
careful housewife should try n get
rid of them. A very simple and in
genious plan consists of standing a
small tub of water on a chair almost
on a level with the pantry or cupboard
shelf the mice most frequent, and then
sprinkling the water thickly with oats.
The oats float on the water, and i'm
part such an appearance of solidity to
the surface that the unsuspecting mice,
having a liking for oats, venture upon
1t at once, and, Of course, are drowned.

in the garden one day with her
@~ big brother Ben, who was spend
inc. a few weeks home from college on
his vacation. As they were passing d
big rose bush Dorothy noticed a spider
inst beginning to weave its web.
ooh. look at the big spider, Brother
Ron exclaimed Dorothy; why does
no take all the trouble to make a web?
"Why." answered Ben" the spider
needs a web in order to catch It's din

bodies. These bags are full OF some
thing that looks like water put Is
thicker. The spider squeezes II out
and as soon as it comes into the ar

Manv of these fine threads make one
strong line" s+ooa
while they were talking they STOOD
ord watched the spider working. First
IT stretched long threads from ous
70 bough. These were for the outside

threads. which met in the middle K
the smokes of a wheel. Then 1t Went
round and round the web, spinning an

thread to each spokelike thread
soon q fly came buzzing by and was

darted out and began to wrap nhe
threads around it so that the fly could
not get away. a

Dorothy.
