AN ESSAY ON MOO YEARS"
Little Eddie Gives His Reasons for
the Annual Holiday and Its
Celebrations.

Moo Yeers is the time when a man
takes off enuf time ter think what a
fine Teller he mite be if he was only a
littul different. Then he makes a lot
of resolushuns and stands in front of
the mirror to see If there is a halo
arownd his he'd. The resolushuns pee
pull make are like the toys you buy
in the ten sent stoar; they don't last
long.
Another objekt Of Moo Years is to
civ the wine sellers and the cellars
a chanel ter celebrate. On Moo
Yeer's eve everybody goes down
town, where the lites are britest, and
sit arownd tabuls to waite for the yeer
to brake in. When the clocks get to
the rite place and al the walters have
been pade, the yeer comes in, and
then everybody stands up and hollers
or else blows horns. Why peepul
should do this don't kno. unles 1t is
that they don't want the year TO
think It has slipped in without emmy
buddy knowing 1t. The feeling on the
moaning aftur Moo Years is respon-
sible for menny of the resolushuns.

lushun was kept. we wuddent halter

ma told him what to resolve, which

you bet. and went and got loryer
friend to get up an argument to prove
that he didn't have to live up to the
agreemunt, being as his resolushun
ottymatically nullified hers, or sum
thing like that. There was a strained
atmosphere in owr howse for sum
time, and now If there are eny Moo

affares.

FALLACY OF LONG STANDING
That Frost Is Most Likely to Occur
in the Light OF the Moon"
Is a 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 he light of the
moon" than at any other time. For
this reason crops which the frost is
likely to destroy are planted at such
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
nto reflections of the magnetic needle;
these last are. however, so small that
they have only effect upon refined in
struments of detection, and 1t 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 un-
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 a 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.
