golden sun and silver moon a wide
hotel-veranda gemmed, like a bracelet, on

sapphire girls soberly swcot and wistful
pearl girls all In white and smiles topaz
girls with coppery hair and hazel eyes
diamond girls with laughter always bub
bling; and breaking like the pulse of a
mountain spring riby girls with- a dan
gerous eye and a luring curve of mouth
turquoise girls with clear watchet eyes
and turned up nose girls girls gemmed
over everything as thick as the star-powder
In the Milky Wayand himself It Is
in the midst of it all planted In a thicket,

Man and the Weather
By GARKETT P. SEKV1SS.
"Will man ever be able to control the
weather?"
Not as lone ns it remains a mystery
to him, and a mystery It Btill la In spite
of all tho studies
and all the experi
ence of the weather
bureaus and tho
l)rognostlcators.
Wllcn Bv took
Adam's arm and
walked with him
out of tho Garden
of Eden's sate, sho
XlrBt learned what
damp weather
means for a wo
man's frizzes, while
Adam was probably
not Ions in feellnK
the first twinges of
rheumatism. The
persistent spell of
weather, followed the great explosion Is
as warranted ns many others thut have
been drawn by learned men, because that
would be a logical meahs of causing the
offending pair to appreciate what they
had lot.
It you ask u professional meteorologist
why tho North Atlantic seaboard has
been so persistently afflicted with clouds,
lain, muggleness, excessive humidity
and general atmosphcrlo gloom this sum
" mer, he will very likely look you de
fiantly In tho eyes and nasert that you
are suffering under an Illusion; that the
weather is all right nnd running Us
regular gait, and that you have forgotten
what happened last year. Then he will
discourse to you on the law of averages,
and prove mathematically that, In the
long run, the seasons don't vary.
All this Is really a confession of Ignor-
ence. Meteorology, at present, 'e a
science of averages and generalities. It
has to deal with a subject whose ele
ments ate so shifty thut nobody can
surely foresee their varying combina
tions. To foretell a-change of weather Is like
foretelling the shape that a puff of
hinoke will take; and to account for a
spell of go'od or bad weather is as diffi
cult as to account for the birth and per
sistence of a cloud that hangs for hours
In a blue sky. The general causes are
known, or believed to lie known, but
science, to have much practical value,
general usefulness of weather bureuu
work, but there should be no mistake
concerning the bases on which It rests.
When weather predictions succeed, It Is
because the atmosphere has settled Into I
a state of regular action ana rcucuo'i
between the forces that control Its
phenomena, and then the weather ob
servers can follow the course of u storm
nnd predict Us arrival at particular
points ns easily as a train dispatcher
can trace the run of nn xprcss uenns
the continent by Blmply consulting his
time table.
Dut when the powers of the air concert

meteorologist la. for a time, as unceitatn

Meteorology can tell, from observa
tions gathered widely on land and sea,
what tho general state of the atmosphere
Is during a' long spell of wet or dry
weather. It can also make (very general)
picdlctlons concerning chunges likely to
occur in theao general states of tho
atmosphere, but It refuses to be held to j
strict account In such things. K you
use an Intellectual microscope you will'
find In Its schedule what Is common on
railway time tables: "Subject to chango
without notice'."
It Is no wonder, then, that thousands
of people have more faith In Ht. Swlthin
Just now thnn in the weather bureau.
Last Wednesday was St. Swlt'hln's day,
and the old saw says:
"St. Hwlthln's day. If thou dost rain,
For forty days It will remain.

AU over the wprld there re tdmllar
superstitions, which are superstitious
only In their form, for there can be no

of long continued experience. If the type
