about Indian summer, briefly, are these:
The latter part of September is, as
every one knows, noted for it's severe
wind and rain storms. People call
these the "equinoctials' and other
names. The storms are often very
destructive. The sun has crossed the
meridian and the temperature Is be-
ginning to go down. The influence of
the sun on general weather conditions
is now known to be very great. There

warm weather is changing to a season
of colder weather it is only natural
that there should be more or less
storm and stress in the atmosphere.
When we have several days of high
winds and heavy rains 1t is also ma
tural tina the temperature should go
down. AS with all things of nature
the winds and the rains soon exhaust
themselves and a dry period Of sun
shine succeeds. The contrast between
