An interesting reference to this belief occurs in a manuscript letter preserved in the PocOcke collec- tion in the British museum. It is dated Aug. 1, 1886. It runs: ITO My Very Loving Friend, the High Sheriff of the County of Stafford-Sr.: His majesty. having taken notice of an opinion en- tertained in Staffordshire that the burn ing of fern doth draw down rain and being desirous that the country and himself may enjoy fair weather as long as he remains in those parts, hath con- manded me to write unto you to cause all burning of fern to be forborne."- London Spectator.

charging him with wantnnlv, I'm

from which il was taken, namely,
the Slate Record, published at
Santa Fe, where the complaint was
filed.

We did not express an opinion as
