"Where else will the who retains his infan-

professor James of Harvard recently delivered
in England a course of lectures in which he said
that the teachings of the Bible have been gradually
discarded in the universities of Europe and Amer
lea, with the exception of Roman Catholic institu-
tons, in which the old doctrines protested as
firmly as ever. He went on to say that in the
prominent universities, except those conducted by
the Church of Rome the foundations of the teach

of years, have been reversed within generation. .

WET AND DRY MOONS.

There is an old superstition which dies hard,
and that is that the position of the horns of the
new moon tells what the weather will be. If the
horns of the crescent are on the same level it will
hold water, and hence it is dry moon, but if it is
tipped up then the water will out, and it is a
wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this belief alive The
moon is dry" in the part of the spring that is
usually fair, while it is wet" during the season
of autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign of the weather we could
have our predictions published many years in ad-
vance, for an astronomer can predict the exact
position of the moon at any time in the future.
The cause for the different positions of the
crescent is simple. The moon is south of the sun
in the autumn and north of it is spring. The cres
cent is found by the light of the falling the
moon, and the horns naturally in line perpen-
dicular to the direction of the from the moon.
That is all there is to this old superstition.
