Tribute to a Modest Vegetable the

Why does no poet arise to sing the
song of the carrot, the hardest worked

said in favor of the plethorlc pump

monplace theme, but the poor carrot
has been neglected-yes, even scorned.
For diversity of use the carrot has

feed them to other stock sometimes,
improving its temper. A carrot arti-

an elegant Japanese vase. Sufficiently
hardened by harsh contact with the
world a carrot may be used for u

Carrots are sometimes even used for
food by human beings. They are
chief ingredient in vegetable soup.

RAIN FROM A CLEAR SKY.
An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling of Dew.

An Alleged Phenomenon Linked With
the Falling of Dew.
In English dictionaries we find the
word serein defined as n fine rain
which sometimes falls from clear sky
shortly after sunset. The word is
French, but has become the interna-
tional designation in meteorological
works for this alleged phenomenon,
which is always described as quite
rare.
Has the phenomenon a real exist
ence?
The fact that stereotyped descrip-
ton of it has been passed on from one
meteorological writer to another since
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
ury is by no means conclusive evidence
on this point, for science has perpetu-
ated many myths by the process of
reiteratiOn.
Professor Gustav Hellmann, in a re
cent publication of the Russian Mete-
geological institute, sees in the concep-
ton of the serein merely the survival
of the old fashioned belief that even
ing dew falls from the clear sky. and
he finds that the serein of early French
writer's was identical with that 'even-
ing dampness" which was supposed to
be injurious to human health.
1t still remains possible that rain
may sometimes fall from clear sky.
though this is not likely to be phe-
nomenon peculiar to the early evening.
Some cases can be explained as due to
the oblique falling of raindrops, carried
horizontally by the wind, when the
clouds from which they came have
passed away.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
