"Fluctuations in temperature are great. A humid heat, of 100 to 1O5 degrees Fahrenheit, sometimes op- presses the valleys for days at time. where winter temperatures arc eH- perienced frequently of from thirteen to twenty degrees below zero. In the mountainous districts, on the other hand, summer is cool and pleasant among the high groves of fir and pine. Travellers who have spent winters in search of sport in the Servian moun- tains have brought back artic stories about buying their cream in chunks and carrying it on their Wanderlngs wrapped in a piece of paper, and or handling fresh GEES without the shells as successfully as though these had been hard boiled. Winters in the highlands of Sorvia are as strenuous as those of Russia.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 7.-Servian winters are severe, and cheerless, with dull skies, and sharp. damp winds securing the valley, and while intense cold settles upon the exposed up lands," says bulletin issued today by the National Geographic society. ''In the lowlands adjacent to the Danube, winter weather is milder, but the ground through many days IS spongy with dampncss. In mountainous dis trictS however, the cold is as bitter as that which deadens the Russian plains during January and FcbruarN, and most of Servia is included in the mountainous area.

 upland Servia has only two clear lv defined seasons-winter and sum mer There a re scarcely any tranSi- ton periods between the cold and the heat. Summer lasts between May and October. which latter month is wet and chilly. The chill WCtneSS lasts sometimes well into November. Mists hover over the valleys until toward noon, and congeal on the mountain sides. Going is accomplished through a chara ctorlcss damp, which is not snow, or slush, or mud, but an inde- terminate combination of all three, supported over the ground in a porous coating lby a ribwork Of frozen dew. The snowfall IS considerable, and gerl- orally covers the hills throughout the winter.

nals as to the effect of the moon on
 the planting of seed, the matching Of
 eggs and numerous other affairs of interest to the farmer.
 There is scarcely a Yankee any whcre who does not cling to some of 1 the superstitions of his forcfathers with reference to the moon, as is in- 1 dicated in the letters written by resi- ! dents of the New England states in
 serious support of the moon theo-
 ries.
 One of the correspondents who
 says he always is governed by the l signs in pr. So-and-So's almanac says;
 'I always set my hens so the eggs will hatch on the increase of the moon. I select the matching date i from the almanac signs. MT B says he planted onions in the dark 1 of the moon and his fathcr-in-laW did so in the light of the moon and he beat his fathCT-in-laW crop two 10 one My step father planted onion seed on the old moon in April in doors.

Lay a plank on the grass in a new moon, he says. and tho grass will stay green 2S days while n the old moon it will die in seven days He also says fish always bite better just before or after the new moon. "Havc read that when surgical oper- ations are performed at certain times of moon patients always died" he adds.
 An Iowa correspondent, however, says: "rhe moon has about as much influence as though made of green cheese. Some of the statements made on this matter really would make the sphinx laugh. l pay no attention to light or dark of the moon. I plant when the ground is in condition.

Making His Sons Kings.
(Ansonia Sentinel.)

1
 One thing that makes the kaiser | persona non grata to the American people is the idea he has that it is his
 personal right and divine privilege to
 invade any country, subdue it and then
 place one of his sons on the throne as
 providentially appointed ruler I'd
 the democratic American mind if s not brute force backed by heavy artil- lery that gives the right to name the ruler of a nation. It is the voice of that nations people and that alone
 The right Of might may place sons of emperors on thrones but if cannot keep them there without the threat of bayonets back of them. The Ger man Americans in the United States who speak of the democracy of Ger many might well consider whether they would like to have a son of the kaiser ruling the United States as conquered nation under the theory of a divine responsibility. That is the logical outcome of a belief in the in- spired source of tho kaiserliche right 10 rule in Germany and elsewhere. To his mind he has the mission to subdue the world and to make 1t tributary to German kultur The rest of the world objects and naturally to this forced process of assimilation and subjection by the Teutons. Efficient he may ba but he lacks all of the other attributes that make for a real conquest of any people. The Teuton cannot help his Prussianism. It is ingrained throunfr forty years of false teaching

YOUR H.NIR DOESN'T TURN GRAY

(American Medical JournalD

(American Medical JournaI)
 Pigmented hairs fall out and are replaced by unpigmented or white ones. The appearance of gray or white hairs is therefore attributab be to the formation of a new hair coat rather than by the alteration of the old one. Completed pigmented hairs never turn gray. They fall out. 1t is, nevertheless, observed that tho process of pigment formation may cease during the development of the air. In that event the tip will remain nigmentcd though the base appears white,
 How are we to harmonizc these statements, 1t may be asked, with the many published records of hair having turned white suddenly as the presumable consequence of fright CT other profound emotion? careful study of the reputed instances has invariably shown that they were my thical It is popularly related that Marie Antoinette grew gray during the night after she was condemned to be executed It is true that at her death her hair was gray put her biographerS all record that her hair had been gray long before the tlho of her death.

"NARROW, PARTISAN POLITICS, !,

Oscar King Davis. a correspondent
