WATCHING GROUNDING.

Washington, Feb. 2-(By Union
Associated Press )-The pastime of
the day today is watching Mr., Ar
ctomys Monax? Don't you know
him? Well, for the enlightenment of
plebian minds, it may be stated that
he is commonly known as the ground
hog; also that his winters hibernation
is eagerly awaited by those who do
not care for winters chilly blasts. He
is the popular weather arbiter for the
next six weeks. Whether he sees his
shadow today and goes into hiberna-
tion for six weeks more of nasty win
ter weather is the question--except
at the U, S. Weather Bureau. "Stuff
and nonsense" was how weather
bureau official today Indignantly dis
cussed the effect upon the weather if
old Arctomys Monak sees his shadow.
I'VE don't take any stock in that
here" the government weather fore
caster declared. Admission that there
really is such an animal as a ground
hog, or woodchuck, was as far as
the scientific chaps would go.

WITNESSED ANCIENT CEREMONY


Athens, Feb. IA crowd of about
10000 persons recently witnessed the
ancient ceremony of casting the
stone of anathema" at the absent
Venizelos. The ceremony was organ
lied and conducted by the famous
Pan-Hellenic Reseryists League,
which under the briefer title "Reser-
visits" has won much notice since
the King ana 1veiniizeios -~nave aDeen
wrangling over the internal and ex-
ternal affairs of Greece.
The cabinet is said to have been
strongly opposed to the revival of
the obsolete custom of "anathema"
in the case of Yenizelos, and the op-
ponents of the rite asserted in the
newspapers that "only harm can re-
suit to the Kings cause from this
uncouth piece of political savagery,
owing to the painful impression which
it will produce upon the civilized
world"
But the Reservists would not hear
of the abandonment of the idea, and
insisted not only on the civil and mil
itary, but also on the ecclesiastical
authorities attnding the ceremony. 1t
is stated that the Metropolitan, who
is the Archbishop of Athens, was re-
luctant to participate, but he finally
yielded, and in the end, the whole
Synod of the Church of Greece not
only attended, but actually partici-
pated in the stone-throwing The
Reservists also sent notices to all the
shops and offices in Athens requiring
the proprietors to close them and at
tend the anathema with their families
and employees, each person being re-
quired also to bring his stone.
The Metropolitan cast the first
stone, accompanying it with the state
ment: This stone of anathema is cast
against M. Venizelos for having plott-
ed against the King and imprisoned
Bishops of the Church" The latter
phrase was reference to the Arch
bishop of Drama, who was arrested
by the Saloniki revolutionists and
sent to Mount Athos.
