FALLAcY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost Is Most Likely to Occur
In the Light of the Moon"
Is Wrong Idea.

One of the most tenacious beliefs
is that the weather is affected by
the movement of the moon. 1t is gen.
orally considered that frost is more
likely to occur in the light of the
moon" than at any other time. For
this reason crops which the frost is
likely to destroy are planted at such
a time as to be certain to avoid a
full moon.
The moon reflects sunlight to the
earth and produces the tides. 1t has
minor effects, such as changing the po-
sition Of the earth and causing min
ute reflections of the magnetic needle;
these last, are, however, so small that
they have only effect upon refined in
struments of detection, and it has
been proved conclusively these two
have no relation to the change of
weather. Regarding the two former
effects named, it is quite easy to I'M
derstand that reflected sunlight from
the moon cannot affect the weather.
In the first place, more light is re-
ceived from the sun in thirty min
utes than from the moon in one year,
and, moreover, the greatest reflection
is at full moon; from logical point
of view then it should be warmer in
stead of colder at full moon. This
should disprove any argument that
the reflected light makes it colder
at full moon.

Nova scotia's History.

When discovered by the British in
1898 Nova Scotia was not named.
A few years later it was settled by
the French. who called it Acadia. It
passed to the English by the treaty of
Utrecht, in 1713, and they changed the
name from Acadia to Nova Scotia.
This name was first used in a grant
made by King James l, whe was born
in Scotland, and chose a name in
honor of his native country The
royal grant under the name was made
to Sir William Alexander, a Scotch
man, who wrote poor poetry, and was
created Lord Stirling by King James.

SALARY RAISED
But CITY GETS FEES

The salary of City Marshal Styers
was Tuesday evening Increased by
city ordinance to $50 per month, but
in the same document 1t Is stlpulat-
ed that hereafter all fees collected
by the peace custodian shall go to
swell the city exchequer rather than
into the Golfers of the marshal. The
ordinance also stipulates that the
marshal shall serve as street
commissioner, Another ordinance
creates the office of water superin-
tendent, defines his duties and fixes
his salary at $50 per month. The
water superintendent will have full
charge of the water system, and will
also serve az city plumbing inspector.
AS in the case of the marshal, the
ordinance also stipulates that all
fees collected by the water superin-
tendent shall hereafter go to the
city
