CLo<jSj0na Planter.)

Popular superstition dies hard. No one
who expends any thought on the matter can
possibly connect rainfall with the direction
of the moons cusps; yet many persons still
believe that on the position OF the lunar
orescont depend changes In the weather
which may be foretold with accuracy. Tue
reasons for the alteration ia the Appearance
of the new moon, ut different times, togeth-
ey With some interesting variants OF the SUI
perstiti0n, are given by Arthur K. Bartlett
in an article contributed to PopuIar AStrono-
my (Northfield, Mimi, January He writes:
cat the time OF new moon, the cusps or
horns of the crescent sometimes lie IN q hue
which is nearly perpendicular with the hort
zon, and ct other times IN q line nearly par
aIlel with the horizon. In the former case
the moon is commonly described as o wet
moon, and in the latter case as q dry moon,
and owing to the changing position OF the
CRESCENT seen on the western sky after sun
set, such expressions as these are frequently
heard: III the moon lies so water cannot
run out, we shall have q drought; "A wet
moon is one upon which the Indian eau hang
his powder-horn,' etc. Now, it Is a fact not
generally known that the crescent moon
always appears upon its back in spring, near
the vernal equinox, and upon It's end in
autumn, near the autumnal equinox, and
these positions, which occur regularly each
year, may be easily understood by a little
consideration after the conditions have once
been carefully explained.
"Tho change of direction the moons
horns are turned is caused by the varying
position of the moon, when at her now
relatively to the sun and the earth, and de-
ponds upon the difference in declination Of
the sun and moon. If the moon be further
north than the sun soon after the new, the
sunlight strikes under her and she appears
with her horns upturned but If she be
further south the light reaches around her
disk to the northward, and her horns ap-
pear nearly vertical, as if the crescent moon
was resting upon one Of them. We see the
moon in varying positions on the sky. and at
first sight there appears to be no definite
relation between her position and the posi-
ton OF her cusps or horns. In fact, this
feature of her aspect has seemed so change
full and capricious that it has even been re-
garded rs a weather token. But in reality
there is a simple relation always fulfilled by
The moons horns or points OF the crescent.
The line joining them is always at right
angles OF perpendicular to q line drawn from
, 1909-04-24

the sun to the moon, so that the horus' are
always turned directly ava from the sun.
The exact position in which they will stand
at any time is, therefore, easily practicable,
and has nothing whatever to do with the
weather"
Mr.. Bartlett tells us that the appearance
Of the "new moon" in November is regarded
as an uufa5liug weather sign by sailors,
especially OF the Great Lakes, who are in
the habit o. predicting from it a mild or
cold winter. The tradition Of the lakes says
that if the moon comes Mt this time stand
ing up" thor5 viii be u pleasant winter.
"Stand-up moon, lay down sailor lay-down
moon, stand up sAilor"-run3 the proverb
with these folk. We real futther
CAS- the moon is always near the ecliptic,
the line joining the cusps is always neRrIy at
right angles to the ecjiptic and it follows,
Of course, that as the angle at which the
ecliptie is inclined to the horizon is variable,
SO the position Of the line joining the cusps
also varies with respect to the horizon, AZ
respects the gibbous mOon, or moon more
than half full, these variations are not much
noticed, but in the case of the new or cres-
cent moon, generally observed quite near the
horizon, they nre very noteworthy and can
hardly fail to attract attention. Ihe line
lOlulu8 Inc GuSDS Ctll1OO W tLCGONAAJ oPAASAb
when the sun is below the horizon, for the
line must always be square to the great circ'e
passing through the sun and moon, and OF
course, when the moou is above aud the sun
below tue horizon, this great circle IS incill-
ed to the horizon, and q line perpondlcuIar
to it IS CORE 5pondingIy inclined from tine
vertical. Similar considerations will apply TO
the case Of the old crescent moon before
sunrise, soon after the rornal equinox, when
tue horns are turned in the opposite dlrec-
ton,
at will be obvious, from the extreme cases
we have described, that the line joining
the cusps may have every possible molina
ton to The horizon, from being nearly yerti-
cal to a horizontal position, and even that the
northern cusp may be below the southern,
according to the season Of the year and the
moons position in her orbit, so that, as the
late Professor Proctor we'll remarked, 80
assert that there will be such aud such
weather when the line Joining the cusp5 -
seen (for instance) nearly horizontal, the
moon being new, is the same as asserting
that there must be such and such weather
at the time of the new moon in February
q q March, if the moon is then nearly ut her
maximum distance from the ecliptIc. And
so with all such cases. Ii there wore any
value at all in such predictions, they would
imply the strictly cyclic return Of such and
such weather.
'The tradition that the crescent of the
new moon, when nearly horizontal, ~foretelIs
q dry month, or when nearly vertical a wet
month"; is too absurd to be refuted, as it Is
without any foundation whatever. Like
most other socalIed signs those who accept
them do SO from condolences observed. Cas-
es which prove the signs are noted, but
those which do not are neglected. aud we
are convinced only because we wish to be con
vinced."
