Cast summer was warm and dry
enough to discourage the farmer
gardeners; but, according to the in
dications, the coming season will
be moro marked for its beat and
absence of rain. This prediction,
based upon the calculations of
the astrologers, is, in n great meas
ure, guess work. According to
the astrologers, the rela'.ivo posi
tion of the planets will be such as
to afTeet the atmosphere of our
earth. It is expected that suffi
cient bent will be reflected on these
bodies to evaporate the moisture in
the atmosphere, and thus prevent
rain. Some of the astrologers
make not very comforting prophe
cy that our atmosphere will be de
stroyed altogether,and that there
being no air to temper the rays of
the sun, vegetation will be wither
ed, the brooks and rivers will dwin
dle away, and the earth will become
cracked anil Assured, like the sides
ol‘*u volcanic mountain These
predictions, these gloomy prophets
U'fcJTI say, may lead us to l-elicvc that
a Ly it. Mother •Sliipton's prophecy had
,ii.’.ip.i f somo foundation after nil. Be this
as it may. it is certain that Mother
Sbipton lias made a mistake of at
least one year in tier calculations.
The superintendent of tho Uni
t'd States signal-service bureau
whose headquarters arc situated u|>-
on the roof of the Equitable build
ing, was asked what lie thought of
the astrological predictions. Shitt
ing a huge quib of tobacco from
one side of his mouth to the other,
so as to enable him to speak more
readily, lie exclaimed:
j “Stuff anil nonsense I I don’t
believe that any living man or worn
: all knows nnything about the kind
‘ of weather wo arc going to linve
next summer. If I were going to
make a prediction I would say that
we will have plenty of rain during
the coming season.”
“Why do you think so ?"
“Because Inst summer was a dry
one; nnd experience 1ms shown
us that it is seldom that we have
two consecutive 'seasons alike.
The oldest inhabitant will tell you
that every alternative year is a
■ good one for fruit and crops. Now
I am looking for a season of abun
dant harvests nnd luxuriant veget
ation, when the land will lie almost
! literally overflowing with milk nnd
!honey.
j “Is it true that tho cartli is
I nearer to the suu than ever lie-
' fore f”
j “That is u hard question to an
I swer; r. million miles more or less
! in tlui distance, between our plan-
^ et and tho great luminary, is diffi
cult to calculate, and oven tho most
I skillful astronomers have admitted
| that their measurement is to some
J extent a matter of guess work.”
“Have there been any marked
| changes in recent years in tho
appearance of the surface of the
sun '
“Oh, yes, there have been somo
marked changes; astronomers tell
us that within the past live years
theso spots on the lace or the lum
inary have changed to u greater
extent than during any provious
live years within a century.
Whether these changes will or will
not affect our atmosphere and
bring on dry weather is more than
1 know or will pretend to say. If
the atmosphere surrounding the
sun is, us some claim, fust disap
pearing, it may ho that the solar
rays will liecomc more intense, un
til tho bout on mu- piunet. is linen-
durable and tho heavens are rolled
I up like a scroll, lint all this spec-
| illation is too deep for me, nnd I
j do not care to wade in beyond my
1 depth. The oldtime astrologers,
! in iny opinion, were great hum-
; hugs.”
Cluhm has made
study for the
cuntury. He is
, ever, that many
! of the pretensions made by the
professors of Ids craft arc akin to
l immbuggery. When asked for his
. opinion in regard to the weather
of tlie coming summer, lie suid;
“1 will tell you wlmt the pros-

We have room enough for even an

labor such immigration can furnish;
but how to Americanize this great

problem, the sol-'tion of which may
