Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
dies hard. and that is that the posi-
ton 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 a dry moon. but if it is tipped up
then the water will run out. and it is
q 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
If this were sure sign of the
weather we could have our predic
tons published many years in al

Confucius,

Confucius regarded his own life as
failure. He spoke against ambition.
yet he coveted high Office. nothing less
than that of political adviser to some
great ruler. A man of the highest
lineage in China. he was yet poor and
early supported himself by teaching.
His pupils showed him an extraordi-
nary devotion. The pick of the young
men in his native state of Lu sat at
his feet. and it was they who trans
mitted his tremendous influence. But
Confucius saw not his immortal sue
cess, but his temporal failure. Only
for few brief years did circumstances
permit him to exercise his practical
genius for government. He became
first a magistrate. then chief criminal
judge in Lu. and. to quote Professor
Legge, "crilne ceased Confucius
