In digging about among the remains

Old Weather Proverbs

not indicate quite enough water vapor
to cause rain
Here are the certain signs OF rain
In the evening sun:
If the sun set In gray,
The next will be q rainy day.
Ii the sun goes pale to bed
Twill rain tomorrow, 1t is said.
phe explanation of this phen0me-
non Is simple. The space between our
earth and the sun Is filled with par
ticles of dust. When the water drop
let's in the atmosphere are SO numer-
GUS as to saturate these particles the
sky seems to be overloaded with a
uniform gray, for the sun Is obscured.
Rainfall IL certain to follow this pre-
nomenon.
But there are other and equally de-
pendable signs Of rain, such as the
halos and coronas that sometimes
surround the sun and the moon. One
Of the proverbs In this case Is:
THE nearer the ring. the bigger
the wet"
These halos and coronas are caus-
ed by storm clouds. II they seem
small II means that the clouds are
the result of storm far distant. II, on
the other hand, they seem nearer, and
therefore bigger. 1t indicates that the
clouds are low down and that the
storm Is not far on.
There Ia one set of proverbs. how
ever, which Prof. Humphreys attacks.
declaring there Is no basis OF truth
In them. They are the proverbs rela-
tive to the influence OF the moon on
the weather. He says there Is ALSO.
lutly no connection between that body
and our weather phenomena beyond
q small tidal effect on the atmos-
pnere. which Is recorded by the ba-
rometer.
He grants, however. that the ap-
pearance OF the moon may be taken
as an indication OF weather condi.

II is the fashion nowadays to turn
to the scientist for explanations OF
everything, more particularly OF the
weather phenomena which comes
daily under our notice, says The New

his side. Is always quite ready to fur.
nish these explanations. But scieu.

deserved disrepute.
Prof. ]. w. Humphreys, of the
United States weather bureau. in An
article entitled Some useful weather
proverbs" printed In the year book
OF the department OF agriculture, has
done good deal to restore them to
their rightful place.
Here are few of the Oldest ana
most famous. with Prof. Humphreys
scientific explanation OF their truth:
Frost year, fruit year; year of
snow. fruit will grow" "A year Of
snow. year OF plenty" and "A late
spring never deceives." OF three OF
which mean the same thing. are very
easily explained. II the winter is a
normal one. with plenty of frost and
snow, and spring comes at the right
time, 1t is not possible for the fruit
trees to blossom prematurely and be
later killed by hard frost or destroy
ed by alternate thawing and freezing
Consequently. all the proverb means,
and its meaning Is quite obvious, Is
that normal seasons mean normal
fruit crops.
Here Is a still commoner one, and
one that interests everybody:
"A red sun has water In his eye"
A red sunset indicates the presence
OF rain elements. II the sky near the
western horizon Is yellow. greenish Or
