The Huron Expositor, 1873-05-09, Page 6i - - • MAY The Moon and thetWeofittaher. After testing the queetioi again and again; anadern tneteorologiete• have eome to the conclusion that the. moon has noort of inflammeturer the weather agreeing with, the Iron Duke, that it is nonsense to place any faith in . -her as a weather pre.- dictor. Titne was when she was thought absolute ernistress of the seasons. Pliny: has the following Ionar weather 'wisdom ; Fine weather, wind, or rain, may be leaked for according at the moon rises with a pure avhite, red, .or swarthy Tight. If, at ,fuir mq013, haw the disc is clear, fine weathgr is betokened ; it red, wind ; if black, rain. if at the rising of the new Da0011 the upper horn is obkiired, there. will be a prevalence of wet whets she is on the wane, if the low- -er hern is obscure4, there will be rain before she attainsliertfaill; if -both borns appear obtuse, a frightful tempest is near; of they are shafp aid 74rect, high winds may be ek- pected. Darwin declares it as a sure sign of coming rain when the moon's head is covered with haloes. A cerreetondent of Notes and Que- riotsays a large circle round the modn, with a north or north-east wind, predicates stormy weather; if the wind comes from any other quarter there will still be rain, but Iess of itif, howeverethe moon rises after Etii:tisetailie appearance of it ring arotmcl her is net so taig,nifit cant, as the Dutch rhyme puts it: A ring paned the mope May pass away sow; But a ring round the sun Gives water in the tun. An olici Spanish proverb says the eirele of the moon never filled a pond, but the cirde of the sun wets a .shepherd; an English rhyme: latound the moon a circle's seen Of white, and all the sky's serene, The following day; you may divine, Will surely prove exceeding fine. • And Whene'er in autumn or in spring. A mist the inottn doth with it bring, At noon the sun will bright appear, The evening be serene and, clear.. The turning up of the horns ,of the new moon is another _sign of fair weather. " There's- no likeli- hood of: a drop now,'are the moon liea like a boat there" says some -- body in Adam Bede. SoutheY:vno- tices this notion io one of his let- ters : "Poor Littledale has this day e-xplained .the cause of the 'rains which .have prevailed for the last five weeks, bya theory Which will probably be as: new to you as it is to me, I have observed, 'he says, that when the moon ,is turned up.. wardwe have fine weather after it, but when it is turned down, then we have a wet 5.,eason ; and the rea- son I think so is, that when it is turned down it holds no water. like a basin, you know; and - down it cornea.' ' It is a, very common be- lief that the weather depends upon . the moon changing before or after midnight; a belief absurd on the face of it, since, as aes been well obeerved, the moon may chariee be- fore 12 at Westminster, and after, 12 at St. Paul's. Dr. Achim -Clarke' was oblivious of %hifact when be put forth a weather Prognoatieator, through -all the lunations of each year forever, showing the obsetwer what kind of weather will Most probably follow the entrance of the • moon into any one of her quarters,' and that so near the truth as to sel- dorn or never be found to fail. Our teaders cae easily decitie as to the ttorth of the reverend doctot's weather guide; they have only to note the time of the moon's en- trance !Rion ae new quarter, and coMpare the actual result' with that anticiftated by the pcognosticator. It would be useless to quote his formulated aservatione, for, like all ;other prophecies concerning the lunar phenomena, there is a total neglect; of the fact that weather is .local and not universal. in other words, the chasige iri the moon that is supposed to have given good weather in the south of England,. hasprObably been attended with ex- :: eeedineely bad weather in Scetland. ----Chantbere%y Jowrnal Early flising more ; -never smoke, never drink anything but -barley water; eat ne dinner, and go to heti at six in the evening." If anybody Ands that donkeyfted. sprt of life suits him, by all mettni, let him continue it. But few people would care to live to eighty _on those terms. If a man canna' get welt withered and crumpled up on easier terms than these, is almost as-(v'ell that he depart before he is a nuisance to himself and a bore to everybody elsee ".1. • OP. The Bearing Year in Apples. 1. Take scions froth a tree in 1873, and put them into elf good and thrifty tree, and do the same in 1874, and you will get fruit in al- ternate years. 2. If you. cut off of thrifty trees the growth of 1873 in the la -et of July, leaving three or . four buds that would come out in 1874, you Would force out the next year's buds and gain -one year. •.- 3. If you reinove all tVi blossoms on one-halftef your treetin the bar- ing year, you will have fruit on that half the -odd year. These thiugs I haVe donesuccessfully. •' I have now in hearing the Vic- tory apple of the odd year produced in this way; next year the Scions of the last year will bear on the eg- ular year. -8. A. S. The Deacon's Swill Barrel. .Just outside of 'the- house stood father, the deacon, tugging away atbig lump of ice in: the swill barrel. "Bad business, that," said I, rest- ing eat, hands- on my sides. . "Not half so bad as it might 'a' been," was the; reply, as be -lifted the cake of ice out by a stout stick that had frozen up in the will. " Many an' rrany a bar'l has busted for me that wouldn't if this -knowledge had only come to me 'sooner," said he. " You see, when. this cold7 snap came on suddenly, 1 thought of the swill-bar'l away in the `night, and said; Well, it can't be helped now.' It happened, however, that the stick I stir. with was left' poked down in the swill, and that was all , that saved it. A bar'l or a tnb or a pail may freeze up solid, and if a stink has been pet down inethe water, Vie vessel can't bust. But it took me a good while to find it out—never knew it till last winter ; 'have lived seventy years before- I knew it," and his eyes twinkled knowingly. "Why, that's on the same plan," Said "of putting a spoon in a glass jar when you are canning fruit; if you do that, the jar won't break."• • " SaMe philosophy exactly," said be, as he gave the ball a kick and sent it rolling down the hill —4 titer's Borne Magazine-, 1307 to Tame», the Wildest Horse.
