geological strata OF pure cream, mis-
chievous, evanescent ringlets of blush

trees of orange and rusty red, through
100 tones OF gray, from the most
ethereal fawn to sheer brutal dirt.

sky of pale sapphire Such effects are
as interesting as they are characters.

Signs That ForeteiI Weather.

The country dweller has a thousand
weather signs that the city man never
knows. A red sunset means very little
to the man in the street. but to the
man among the lanes Il indicates rain
and bad weather. Smoke that rises
straight In the air Is another OF the
signs that farmer notices and fore.
tells bad weather. Circles about the
moon and sun. streaks OF greasy
clouds and the peculiar actions OF
birds and domestic animals are all In
dications of some change In the
weather to the man whose eye has
been trained to recognize the signs.
