outcome Opposite Signs.

As a matter of fact weather bureau
scientists, official forecasters, metero-
logical experts. statisticians and 9TH
ers to the contrary Notwithstanding,
Candlemas day, colloquially known in
America as grounding day, always has
been a great day for weather proph-
cts Their representations, like
dreams, appear to go by contraries, for
fine weather is believed to promise
bad weather later. while a dull and
threatening day always has been re-
garded as a sure sign of early spring,
with good weather and bountiful crops.
Warrant for placing such faith in
weather predictions made at this sea-
son runs away back to the days OF
Greek mythology. Pluto is accused Of
having stolen away Prosperine, dau-
ghter of Ceres, goddess Of harvests,
to the underworld and for six months
Ceres left the earth and went about
with lighter candles seeking her dau-
ghter. Candlemas day first was a pa
gan observance in honor Of Ceres. in
tended TO propitiate her and bring
plentiful yields to the husbandman.
This became closely associated with
the weather and when the early
Christians sought to combat the pagan
influence they adopted the candles
borne in the procession, but burned
them in honor of the Virgin.

GROUND-HOG DUE TO COME
OUT OF HOLE TOMORROW
LITTLE ANIMAL SAYS TRADITION,

Tomorrow is "groundhog day ana
those people who place more faith IN
the traditions and lore handed down
by their ancestors than they do in the
scientific observations OF the weather
man will note with much Interest
whether or not there is enough sun
shine TO make a shadow Of the wood
chuck as he emerges from his mole
after a long winter sleep.
II Mr. Groundhog sees his shadow
he will scurry back into his hole, fear
full for the wintry blasts that are to
come for according to superstition
bright sun on February , foretells
six weeks more of winter. II, how
ever. the skies are covered with clouds
and no sun rays filter through. then
will the little animal bid farewell to
his alternating haunt and journey
forth in search Of fresh food and eN-
ercise for he will know that winter
is at an end
Believers in the groundhog theory
in spite Of their scorn Of the official
weather prognosticators. will doubt
less be interested to know that he pre-
diets for the morrow rain and snow
and says nothing about sunshine.
Badger Is Kaiser's Prophet.
The tradition Of the weather pro-
phet abilities of the grounding was
made in Germany. Only in the land
of the Kaiser it is the badger that is
relied upon to look for his shadow to-
morrow and draw his conclusions as
to the early or late ending of winter
In the United States the badger is but
little known east Of the Mississippi
river and the responsibility has been
put upon the grounding or wood
chuck.
The Germans proverb on this SUBJ
| ject is:
The shepherd would rather see the
wolg enter his stable on Candlemas
day than the SUM-
They have two other saying that
tell of the badgers nose emerginE
from his hole in the ground and his
inquiring look for his shadow on
Candlemas morning In the old Eng
lish rhymes the following is found:
If Candlemas day be fair and bright,
Winter will have another flight;
But If it be dark, with clouds and rain
Winter is gone and will not come
again.

FINDS CAUSE OF sEASICKNESS
German Surgeon Has Traced IL to
Irritability Of Nerves in In
terror Of Ear

The eminent German ear surgeon,
Professor Bruins. tested more than
one hundred persons by turning them
in revolving chair. lie has Just
reported that the symptoms were
identical with scasickncss. This is
explained by the irritability of the
three little scmicircular canals in
the inner ear which control the equi-
librium OF the body.
Tests of the central nervous .svs-
tenn enabled Professor Bruins to pre-
diet whether "scasickncss' would be
likely to occur in those about to
travel. Bruins and a physician
named Fischer have found that this
irritability Of the semicircular canals
and central nervous system can be
controlled by atropin. 1t is SAID that
when given as a preventive atropn
will ward off an attack. During the
attack this drug seems to stimulate
the central nervous system rather
than TO paralyze the terminal or
pcripheral nerves. In this case caf-
feline might be substituted for afro
pin, or other drugs might control the
collapse and prostration.
The theory that the semicircular
canals have really the function OF
regulating our sense of equilibrium
and direction has been disputed by
many doctors, but the peculiar ar.
rangement of these canals in the
three planes of direction makes tn,
theory more than probable.

HIS OWN HORRIBLE EXAMPLE.

In Muncie cigar store the other
day a crowd of congenial spirits was
playing rhum, the crowd including
one whose congeniality had been
largely influenced by over-indulgence
in liquor.
In the midst of the game and be-
fore the contest could be decided he
arose majestically, put on his coat
and made ready for departure.

friend asked. "You aren't going,

TOWNS OFTEN ODDLY NAMED
Too Much Imagination, and Sometimes
the Lack Of II, Responsible for
Peculiar Coanomens.

A fruitful cause of wonder and
often of amusement as well is found
in the names of hamlets, villages and
towns. In many instances the lack
of originality is the feature that
attracts the observers attention, and
visitors to New England are led to
comment on the lack of invention
and imagination displayed in the
naming of towns in this section.
Names for most of them were
brought over from England, and
then the fathers varied these with
such additions as New" and "Old,"
and the points of the compass. For
instance, we hear of New Haven,
North Haven, West Haven and East
Haven, and we have as many kinds
of Hartfords hereabouts. There is
an Old Saybrook as well as a Say
brook, and an Old Lyme as well as
Lyme. We have not only Mil
ford, but New Milford, and a New
Canaan as well as a Canaan. Thus
it goes throughout the land of the
Pilgrims and Puritans, while a jour-
ney through New York state is like
taking a course in ancient Roman
and Greek history, with Troy, Rome,
Syracuse, Utica, and 50 on. These
older European names, as well as the
Indian names which have been pre-
served, show the inclination to use
what is ready at hand, without en-
ploying either imagination or inven-
ton. In other places is to be found
the opposite tendency, and it is when
too much imagination or a misdi-
rected imagination has had sway that
names of localities often cause
amusement, which shows the early
settlers who stuck to the old names
displayed better judgment, if less
active Observation-Disclosures Cou-
rant.
