WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From

knG
There Is an old superstition which
dies hard. and that Is that the posi-
ticn of the horns of the new moon
tells what the weather will be. II the
horns of the crescent are on the same
level Il will hold water. and hence It
Is n dry moon. but II II Is tipped up
then the water will run out. and 1t Is
a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be-
lief 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.
II this were sure sign OF the
weather we could have our predic-
lions 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 I'm the autumn and
north OF It In spring. The crescent Is
found by the light Of the sun falling
on the moon. and the horns are natu-
rally In a line perpendicular TO the d.
