Some years ago a 'dieting wished nveteoro'1'ogislt decorated his intro- duction 'to a little book on weather proverbs and paradoxes 'with ,what appeared as a quotation: (What is it moulds the life man The Weather, 'What snakes some black .and others tan? The Weather? What makes the Zulu (live ' in And Congo natives dress in leases, While others go in 'fors and freeze? The Weathee. !From the ,b•egin iug weather has been a subject of •tairiversal interest; ancient records and modern literature alike witness to the facility with which it asks questions 'vehicle thee reader cannot answer so easily as those in the quotation. IA good deal of weather -lore relates to what Inc may call the raggedness of the rhythm aE the seasons. The course of the sun across the slky for any part of •the worfd'has been estab- lished by the aetronomers as perfect- ly rhythmic with extraordinary ac - career, and if mundane things were so arranged so to repeal •Con'di'tions with the same accuracy as the rep- etition of the sun's track across the sky, summer and winter, rainfall sunshine and warmth 'oulld be just reiterated from the beginning of each year the sante as the one before, ',But that is far from being the case, AlII nits of irregularities in- trude themselves. IAnd so we get cold weather in \prat, known as the borrowing days; a blackthorn winter or ice saints in May; the 'tradition of St. ISw•ithin for July and August, These are the things which interested fo'ik in the days gone by and are even now the incidents about which newspapers are curious. The association of prov- erbial interruptiinta of the rhythm with certain phrases of the calendar finds it+ development in Modern me- teorology by curves of mean daily temperature. With that as guide Alexander Bu- chan, recognised certain cold periods in the temperature -rhythms of Scot- land, and they have reached the pul>- ;fr a B•uchan's cold spent, which, he says, "occur from year to year with %cry rare exceptions," and according to this investigation are determined and regulated iby- the winds. L'ile association with the course o the 0111 is reasonable err uleh, and perhaps it is .natural if not so reason- able to associate the deviation front the rhythm with the phases of the moots. the influence of which is so easily recognised in the tidal fluctu- ation of the sea, \Ve may remember that before the lighting of our streets and the daily paper which carries the date, the phases of the moon afforded a con- venient method or counting thne- intervals between the days of the year. So it may have come about that the moon has been held to be responsible for the weather what- 'ever hat'ever it happens to be. One weird tradition associates int - pending Tafel or fair weather with the moon on its bade. It can hardly be justified, for the way the mason ap- pears to 'lie depends merely on the. relative position of the sun, and goes through its regular sequence with the year. iOther proverbial prognostics may he regarded as the vague expression of experience: readers most have their own. Here are some:— Wet Rriday—wet !Sunday-. •Rain before seven — fine before eleven. /Rant from the east—twenty!f+1ur hours at least. A red sky at night is the shep- herd's delight. Lk rainbow in the morning 10 the shepherd's warning. If the sun goes pale to bed 'twill rain to -morrow, sO 'tis said. lAs examples .of others with less justification we may note the con- tradictory- proverbs of the ashbefore the oak: or the oak before the ash, and a .lull 'crop of berries means a hard 'w -inter.
