WHAT MAKES THE INDIAN SUMMER Action of Trade Winds and
 Dry Grounds A PROCESS OF NATURE Absence of Moisture Necessary to Pro. duee RainfaII-Pacific Atmosphere Due to Sun Passing Equatorial
 Line-EarIy Forest Fires.
A PROCESS OF NATURE

From the New York Evening Post.
 Indian summer, which closes the autum- ual season, is due to certain natural during the falling of the leaves, and are associated with the death of vegetation, whitening leaves and drying stubble. In setting out to account for the phenome- non of nature which we call Indian sum- pler, it is necessary to account for the absence from the atmosphere during this season of that degree of moisture neces- sary to produce rainfall, and also the strange atmospheric calm which prevails during these smoky, dreamy days of au- tumn.
 The pacific atmosphere during Indian summer is due to an interesting phenom- enon which relates to the suns passing the quatorial line. After the sun crosses the equator to the north, on March 31, set of conditions is set up which result in what are known as trade winds. These winds are due, first, to the rising of the heated air on the hot belt which describes the suns apparent circuit around the globe. When the sun has passed north of the equator the heated atmosphere arising from the hot belt causes an at mospheric vacuum into which a stream of cool air naturally flows. This inflow must come from the nearest body of cold atmosphere. Since the suns high
 
 nearer the north pole than 1t does to the south pole it follows that this body of cool atmosphere must come from the north. On this account the trade winds of our springtime blow always and inva- riably from the northeast.
 Cause of the Winds.
 The reason these winds appear to flow toward the equator from the northeast and not from the north is that fin the globes revolutions a given point on the earth's surface at the equator passes through the atmosphere from west to east at the speed of 1000 miles an hour, and as result the impression IS that the atmosphere is rushing from northeast to southwest. When the sun first crosses the equator the trade winds blow at an acute angle to the equator, on which account only a limited strip of the northern hemisphere, lying adjacent to the equator, is at first affected by these winds. As the sun passes further north these winds are made to involve 8 wider range of disturbance on this con- tinent.
 The subsistence of these winds, as the sun moves toward the equator in the autumn on it's return to the southern hemisphere, is characterized by conditions similar to those which accompany their first appearance in spring and later prog ress to the maximum of activity. The trade winds disappear, so far as their effects on this continent are concerned, the angle at which they blow being so acute, with relation to the equator, as to bring the track of these winds so far south as to be out of the range of this continent

An Unfortunate Paraphrase.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
 General Sheridan used to take delight in telling the following:
 "A young man seated at dinner one time said to his wife:
 Ellen. if you are good at guessing, here is a conundrum for you. If the devil would lose his tail where would he go to get another one?"
 After some time spent in guessing she gave it up.
 Well said he, where they retail spirits
 Eager to get 1t off she hastened to a lady friend with:
 Oh, Marian, have such a nice con- undrum. Joe just told me of if. I know you can't guess it. If the devil would lose his tail. where would he go to get another one?"
 Her friend Marian, having given 1t up, she said:
 Where they sell liquor by the glass
 Marian couldn't zee the point of the loke."

the dry leaves and grass take up the moisture found in the atmosphere and thus tend to diminish rainfall Indian summer is distinguished from all other seasons of the year by the hazy atmos- phere which characterizes 1t. a phenona- enon which is largely due to forest fires. In early times forest fires were of ire uuent occurrence in the autumn, due to rowing bands of Indians on the chase. From this circumstance arose the name of this season, Indian summer.
 Brought to End By Rains.
 The phenomena which govern the close of Indian summer are no less interesting and novel than those which give rise to it. Indian summer has it's end finally through the influence of the trade winds. These winds, set in motion partly through the agency of heat at the equa- tor and partly as a result of the earth's motion in revolving eastward, blow over 56 degrees of latitude, 2S degrees north of the equator and 2S degrees south of it. When the sun is south of the equator

the trade winds blow from the south east toward the equatorial line. and when the sun is north these winds blow from the northeast toward the equator. It will be noted that Indian summer occurs after the sun has passed south of the equa- tor and that, on this account, the trade winds are during this season, blowing from the southeast toward the equatorial line. These winds must cross the Atlantic ocean, and in doing so come to the coasts of South America heavily laden with moisture, ere contact with high moun- tain ranges causes precipitation of rai..

CAUGHT BY THE GRIP
RELEASES BY PE-RU-NA.
La Grippe Is Epidemic catarrh.

THE disease now known ~ grip
4 used 10 be called 'inhuenza'
livery closely resembles cold, but is
more tenacious in its hold upon the
system and produces more profound dis
turbances.
Grip is in reality epidemic cEtarrh.
When il once begins il spreads over the
country very rapidly.
People do not catch the grip from each
other, but each one catches IL from the
atmosphere.

at also cured my wife OF nasal ca

such tifat she could not at night breathe

"In consequence, an infiamed condi-
tion of the throat was brought about,

Healthy MUCOUS Membranes.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have perfectly healthy mucous mem
branes ordinarily do not catch the grip.
The mucous membranes lining the
nose, throat and lungs, when in a
normal state, are an effectual barrier
against the invasion Of grip.
But, If there happens to be the slight
est catarrhal arrangement of the
mucous membranes, then the victim be-
comes an easier prey to the grip.
This in part explains why some peo-
pie get the grip, while others do NOT.
The rational thing TO do is to keep the
eysiem free from catarrh. In attempt
ing to do this most people have found
