The Truth of Weather Lore.
The persistent survival of weather -lore in.
these days of intellectual emancipation is
not eit all remarkable when we consider the
exteet to which the vulgar sayings embody
real. truths. A few years ago Messrs. Aber-
cromby and Marriott embarked on an ex-
tremely interesting inquiry with a view to
determine, by actual comparison, how far
the popular proverbs express relations, or se-
quences, which the results of meteorological
science show to be real. The investigation
proved that something like a hundred of the
more popular sayings ars'under ordinary
conditions, trustworthy. Such being the
case, we need not be surprised that simple
country folk prefer familiar couplets to all
'
the "isobars,' " cyclones " and synchron-
ous charts," in the world. 11 "hills clear,
rain near," means the same as "the pres-
ence of it wedge-shaped area of high pres-
sure, accompanied by great atmospheric
visibility, is likely to be followed by the ad-
vance of a disturbance with rain and south-
erly winds," which for all practical purposes
it does, the preference is justified on the
mere ground of breath economy. The
thirty-one words demanded by science stand
no chance against four.
But 15 18 unfortunate that, along with the
limited number of folk -sayings founded on
truth, there has survived a very large num-
ber founded on the groseeet error. These
latter have borrowed credence and respect
from the proved credibility of the others,
and apparently they are all destined to sink
or swim together. Hammer as we will at
certain favorite proverbs which we know to,
be based upon error, it is all in vain. The
reverence for tradition is too much for us.
And of all the superstitions, pure and simple,
which defy our attempts at destruction,.
the most invulnerable are those ascribing
certain effects to the influence of the moon.
