Weeds and Flowers Serve
as Natures Barometers

Chickweed is an excellent thing by
which to get forecast of the weather.
When the flower expands fully we are
not to expect rain for several hours.
Should it continue in that state no
rain will disturb the summers day.
When it half conceals it's miniature
flower the day is generally showery;
but if it entirely shuts up, or wells the
white flower with its green mantle, 1t
is a sign of a very wet day. The diff
ferent speciesEo trefoil always contract
their leaves at the approach Of storm.
SO certainly does this take place that
these plants have acquired the name
of the nurseryman's barometer. The
tulip and several of the compound yell
low flowers all close before rain. There
is also a species Of wood sorrel which
doubles its leaves before storm. The
banksia, or mountain ebony, capia, and
other sensitive plants observe the same
habits.

MOVE TO REVISE CALENDAR
Advocates Of Change Will Bring the
Matter to Attention of League
of Nations.

One of the first projects to be laid
before the League of Nations, when it
gets ready for new business, is one to
revise the calendar and make 1t uni
form throughout the world. Bureau
officials of the United States, Switzer-
land and Great Britain got into touch
with church officials before the war on
the subject Of calendar revision, and
have kept up consideration Of the mat
ter since. Church leaders say an
agreement has been reached and q
uniform report is nearly ready to go
to the league.
The calendar has not been revised
before because Of objections from the
churches to dates for the great re-
ligious feasts. These objections are
said to be removed. A fixed date for
Easter, the adding of thirteenth
month, the making of every week be-
gin with a Sunday and having exactly
2S days in each month-these are the
main features agreed on. Church peo-
pie favOring the revision say that If
the league itself cannot act, 1t can
designate a calendar congress to do
so, to sit at Geneva.

Where Are the 75-Mile Guns7

If we remember rightly, among the
terms of the armistice was one de
handing that the Germans hand over
to the allies the 75-mile guns with
which they bombarded Paris.
So far as the public records go none
of these pieces has, as yet, been deliv-
cred, and we are inclined to think
that they shared the fate of the cap
tured German flags, which, with char
acteristic want of good faith, were
publicly burned by German officers on
the Inter den Linden, Berlin. The So
called big Berthas," the dismantled
foundations of which were found by
our troops during the German debacle,
are not these weapons, but were pieces
of 10 or 16-inch caliber of considerably
less range.-Scientific American. 0

Fertilizing Explosives

Two experimenters have endeavored
to apply the lesson they learned dur

fact that vegetation grew in profusion
in shell holes, and when they returned

ject. AS result they have designed
a fertilizing cartridge which blasts a
cavity about yard deep. After the
soil has absorbed the gases produced
by the explosion, tree is planted in

Says Moon Has No
Effect
Illinois Weather Prosnosticator
Ridicules Old Theories

II. M. Willis, official weather prog
nosticator at Springfield, ILL.,, throws
harpoon into the pet theory that the
moon has a great deal to do with the
vegetable, animal and human life
growth. 1t is all bunk, he says. Hark,
en- to him:
eve have calls every day seeking
the phase Of the moon from people
who are contemplating planting some
thing or who believe it has some eff
feet on human life. The moon has no
effect on human life on the earth's sur
face. The only effect it has on condi-
tiCns on the earth's surface is that it
draws the tides. Under proper condi-
lions of the sky, the only way the
moon can affect human life Is to
furnish moonlight for young couples"

How Men Should Dress
at the Morning Wedding

The essential dress for the BRIDE
groom at the morning wedding consists
of black or dark blue frock coat, a
waistcoat that matches the frock coat
oy a white pique one, gray trousers,
white linen, white silk or satin tie,
pearl tie pin, gray suede gloves, patent
leather shoes and top hat. The best
man generally follows the groom's ex-
ample. Ushers usually agree among
themselves to dress as nearly alike as
possible. They should be fully gloved
while serving in the aisles. Tuxedo
coats should never be worn in the
morning. Plain dark business suits
may be worn by any male guests not
of the wedding party who wish to be
informal.

THE OLD MEL0DEOM

There, like some ancient visitant
OF bygone days 1t stands;
Its yellow keys a welcoming
Extending to the hands.
No fingers wander DER the keys,
No feet Its pedals press;
'Reft Of the soul OF music there
1t waits some hands caress.
1t leans against the chamber wall
Like some old broken form,
Too weak to stand alone without
Assistance in the storm,
Its bellows gaping wide Is hung
With cobwebs to the floor;
The dust upon its yellow keys
Is strewing thickly DER.
AS in the stiffness Of the night
The ancient thing 1t grieves,
And plants in echo to the soft.
Low whispering of the leaves,
Then from the lonely chamber float
Sweet tones of "Beulah Land"
A spirit song from spirit throat
Chorused by spirit band.
But when the light Of morning falls
In glory everywhere
The dust upon the yellow keys
Is strewing thickly there.
From Beulah land the player came
To spell away the gloom;
And, passing, left behnS the same
Sweet lavender perfume
