Show Weathervanes Back Weathervanes, popular a century ago, and which disappeared from general gen-eral use about a generation back, are coming Into vogue again in America. This probably is due to the increasing use of copper as a weatherproof material mate-rial for the vanes, and the revival ol colonial architecture. In contrast to weathervanes of the past, which were conventional arrows, horses, or birds, ' gilded, the new weathervanes are more works of art, and lack the garish appearance ap-pearance imparted by gold leaf.
