Weather- Wisdom and Other Popular

Beliefs Derived from the Sun and

Moon ^{as well as} from the Actions and

Habits of Beasts, Birds and Insects.

FROM

^time

^immemorial

^{people of all nations have gathered their "}weather-wisdom^"

from the sun

and moon

as well as from the perjuliar actions

and

habits ofbeasts, birds

and

insects.

Thousands

of farmers to-day watch the old

and

the

new moon

for plant- ing, sowing

and

other

work

connected with the farm. Seamen, fishermen, huntsmen, ex- plorers

and

travellers, to a large extent are guided

by

conditions of thesun

and moon, and

forteil the weather with greater accuracy than

do

the majority of our

modern

weather pro-^tt^

phets.

The

celebrated Sir

Humphrey

Davy,

one

of the

most

successful

modern

explorers of the secretsofnature, was not above attending to,

and

explaining, the "weather-oipens^**

which arederived from popular observation.

y,'

In submitting^to our friends the following statements regarding "weather-omens^**

and

;

beliefs,

we do

not holdourselves responsible for the accuracy of anyof

them

;

we

merely

call attention ^to statements which have descended from generation to generation.

RAIN SIQNS FROM THE MOON.

As

arule, a circlearoundthe

moon

indicates rain

and

wind.

When

seen with

a

noith or northeast wind,

we may

look for stormyweather, espeiMnily if tlucircle be large.

With

the

wind

in

any

otherquarter,

we may

expectrain; so also

when

the ring is small

and

the

moon

covered with mist. If, however, the

moon

^{rise aftersunset,}

and

a circle

be

soon after

formed

around

^it,

no

rain is foreboded.

When

there isa ^circle

around

the

moon

a

^{9torm, the}

number

ofstars

see within this circle

show how many

^{days distant} Hit

(

storm is.

There

issense ^{in this, in that} there

would

be

no

circle werethe air not hazed with moisture.

The

thicker the moisture, of course, the fewer the stars that can

be

seen within thecircle,

and

the nearer the storm.

MOON LORK AND BELIEFa

^'

To ^dream

^{of the}

is

a

sign of riches

and

^happiness.

Look

at the

moon some

night

and

say: . v

"_{I see the}

moon,

the

moon

sees

me

;

The moon

sees

somebody

I want to see."

Then name

the person you wish tosee,

and

in

a day

ortwo you will see that person.

You must

not

sow

onions in the

new

ofthe

moon. They

will not

amount

to

much

youdo.

Whatever you

aredoing

when you

first see the

new moon,

you will

do much

THE QREQORIAN CALENDAR, _f

The

Julian calendar

was

framed about

46

years before Christ. Caesar

made

^{the year}

consistof 365 days^;

and

theannualexcessof

6

hours, which

amounted

to

one day

in four years,

was

takenintoaccount

by making

everyfourth year(leap-year) consist of

366

days.

But

Caesar's correction ofthe calendarwas imperfect, beingfounded

on

thesupposition that thesolaryear consisted of

365

^days

and 6

hours, whereas thetrue solaryearconsists of

365

days, 5 hours,

48

minutes

and 45^

^seconds.

^Thus

^{theJulianyear exceeded the solar ix}

minutes

and 14^

^seconds,

—

^which

^amounted

^to

^a

^wholedayin 130years. In consequence ofthismaccuracy, the vernal «quinox, which

happened on

^{the 25th of}

March

inthetime of Julius Caesar,

had

recededto the 21st of

March

in the year 325,

and was

fixed to that

day

by

theCouncilofNice. Attempts wereafterwards

made

to effect

some

changein thecal^iv dar; but

a

completereformation

was

not

made

until 1582.

Pope Gr^ory

XIII.invilHi

H^

^' -^ . r

\:

Rome

the most learnedastronomersof the age; and,after thesubjecthad beendiscussedten years, ^it was decreed that the vernalequinox, which

had

receded ten days since the Council

( of Nice,

and

consequently

happened on

the

nth

of March, should be brought back

I. to the 2ist ofMarch,

and

that for this purpose ten days should be taken from the

month

^of October, 1582.

To

avoid future deviation, it was determined that instead of every lootlf year beingleap-year, every 400th year onlyshould beleap-year.

By

thisplan

—

a diminution ofthreedays in

400

^years

—

^{the error in the present calendar will not} exceed a day

and

a

» half in five thousand years. ^- k / . .

The

calendar thus reformed

by Pope

Gregory was immediately

mtroduced

intoCatholic countries, but was not finally adopted in Great Britain until 1752, when, by act of Parlia-

ment, eleven days were ^struck out ofthe calendar, the 3rd dayofSeptemberbeingreckoned Uie 14th.

^still obstinately adheres to the old style.

A CURIOUS STONE BAROMETER.

ILMAKIUR,

turns black, or blackish gray,

when

it is going torain, but

on

the approachoffineweatherft iscovered with whitespots. Probably it is afossil

mixed

with clay,

and

containing rock-salt, nitre, or

am-

monia, which, accordingto thegreater orlessdegree of

dampness

of the atmosphere, attracts

it| orotherwise. In the lattercase the ^saltappears, forming the white spots.

:—
