Aroma Is best known to travellers as
the station on the railroad from Milan
where Lake Maggiore first bursts into
view. To Italians it is best known for
its plantations of American corn, a
novelty in Europe.
Today, Aroma is an industrial CEN
ter, but off in the northeast corner
the castle of Angero adds touch to
the landscape which bespeaks medic

That "Arona, Lago Maggiore," Turn

from Ruskin's letter, In which he says
"No such hills are, or ever were, In

LEIGH AS WEATHER PROPHET
Those Familiar With Small Creatures
Habits Can Foretell Changes
That Are at Hand.

An excellent weather prophet can be
made by placing leech in glass jar
of water.
If the weather is to continue fine
the leech lies motionless at the bot
tom of the jar, and rolled together In
a spiral form. If it is to rain, either
before or after noon, it will be found
to have crept up to the top of its lodg-
ing, where it will remain till the
weather is settled.
If we are to have wind, the poor
prisoner gallops through his limpid
habitation with amazing swiftness,
and seldom rests till it begins to blow
hard.
If remarkable storm of thunder
and rain is to succeed, the leech, for
some days before, lodges almost con-
tinually without water, and gives itself
up to violent throes and convulsive-like
motions. In frost, as in clear summer
weather, it lies constantly at the bot
tom and in snow, as in rainy weather,
it pitches it's dwelling on the very
mouth of the jar.
