Forecast Which 10 Generally Made
Has a Scientific Foundation,
Says Meteoroloqlst.

While many proverbs dealing with
seasonal forecasts are mere fanciful
pleasdntries, some are founded on &C
curate observation and correct reason
ing. One of these runs: "a red sun
has water in his eye," and the condi.
ton which gave rise to 1t is explained
by Prof. w. ]. Humphreys Of the Uni
ted States weather bureau, in a dis
cussion of some useful weather prov.
erbs.
The condition that most favors a
red sun is great quantity Of dust
especially smoke particles-in a damp
atmosphere. Smoke alone in suffl-
cient quantity will produce this ef-
feet, but it is intensified by the pres
ence of moisture.
The blue and other short wave
length colors of sunlight are both
scattered and absorbed to a greater
extent by given amount of dust or
other substance, such as water vapor,
than is the red, and this effect be-
comes more pronounced as the par
ticles coalesce.
Hence when the atmosphere is
