There was much excitement in the

the old pine plains into the greatest

The sight Of soldiers and hIgh-up mill

The Moon and the Weather

People who rely on the moon as a
weather Indicator, writes a London
Chronicle correspondent, must have
very short memories, for accurate com.
parisons prove conclusively that there
is no connection whatever between the
weather and the moons changes of
phase.
Professor Schuster analyzed a whole
century's weather records and, as q
result, was unable to trace any lunar
period in them. Several authorities
are agreed, however, that there is a
tendency for clouds to disperse as a
full moon comes to the meridian of
any place; but it is far cry from that
to the definite belief that the weather
changes with change of the lunar
phases.
These changes, of course, can be
predicted for years in advance with
perfect accuracy, and if the weather
depended on them, weather forecast
ing would be the simplest of all the
sciences, instead of the most difficult.

Horserace Proves Mans Age.

A mans age was decided in a Pc
culiar manner before Greenwich,
England, court recently. The military
authorities claimed that a man, George
Frederick Grandeer, was not forty
three years old, and therefore still
liable for services. The mans defense
was that he was past his fOrty-third
birthday. In support of this defense
he stated that he was born on June
g. 1874, the day George Frederick won
the Derby, and that he was named af-
ter the horse. The defense was ac-
cepted, and the man was discharged.

exist side by side. A state of war was
recognized by congress, and thus re-
luctantly we were brought into the
world conflict, after the president had
done everything that could fairly be
done to avoid the catastrophe. Now
that we are in the war we see, with
clearer vision, that it was inevitable
that we should go in, for it is our war
as much as the war of England and
France. 1t is a war to preserve our
