Signs of Summer.

We are in the habit of laughing with
amusement at the belief in signs held in
medieval times. our ancestors thought
IL is said that humming birds troze &c
the branches of trees when winter came,
and that the spring thawed them out and
they started humming on their summer
way again. They looked lonsinSly fol-
a sunless Ground Hogs day as a har-
binger of carly spring. They recognized
dozens of signs, based usually on an
unscientific knowledge of natural phe-
nomena, at this time OF year which help
ed them decide whether the spring was
really started or not.
We begin studying botany nowadays
almost in the kindergarten. We chip
bits Of stone from the boulders ana
study geology OIL our childhood walks.
Biology is a beloved sport of the college
work OF almost every Sirl and boy. Chem
istry ard physics are required studies
Of the high school pupil. Yet. at this
wonderful rcawakeninS season Of the
year. all of us become medieval.
Who doesn't watch for weather signs
in the spring? Who doesn't ponder some
beliefs as absurd as that concerning the
poor. frozen little humminE birds COM
ing to life? Who doesn't feel that the
remarkable resurge OF vitality through
nature is beyond science. beyond rea-
son?
Not so very far away there is fresh
water pond where. a few days ago,
thousands of sea Gulls came for a dip.
Each spring the suls travel miles TO take
their bath in this pond. Naturally the
inhabitants of the town near the pond
have come to count the beginning of
spring with the coming of the Gulls for
their annual bath.
