Show Weather Wisdom. A very cuiloits method of mahlnc weather predictions has been discovered discov-ered by nn old French fnrmer. "On Chtlstmas ovc," ho says, "whon tho btll3 begin to ring for mldiiisht mass, lnko twelve onions nnd plaro them In n row on a. tablo. Tho first onion will represent January, tho second sec-ond February, nnd so on. Next tnnko a largo slit In each onion nnd pour some salt Into it. If at tho end of an hour you find thnt the salt In tho March onion has melted, you will know that there will bo much rnln In March, and, on tho other hand, If tho snlt In the April onion is not melted, you may bo certain that April will bo a dry month. Moreover, if tho salt In any onion Is melted nt tho top, but not nt tho bottom, tho first fortnight of tho month will bo wot and tho second fortnight dry." |
