It been suggested to nie that while plihietsry' corulitl°ris-wriliine- tions, occulations, and the like-may provide the disturbances. it in the earth-currents (oi which we have as yet an inadequate knowledge) that confine them to particular localities. The subject is an enthralling one. but it is maniieat that until all the .factors _ goveming distribution are known, our predictions will be oi the hit"or`miss order as far as special localities are concerned.

The electric storm of March 16th..

occasioned much conjecture, from its unseasonableneaa. and intensity. At 5.30 a.m. or thereabouts, on the 14th... there was an unusual conjunction ol thee membes oi the solar system. the moon. venus, and Jupiter. 'Fhis combination must have exerted an

im_mense gravitational pull on the sun. the source oi' our electrical sup- ply. Such an‘excltation would cailsei streams ol' ultra-violet rays and cur- rents to be given ol'i', which would electrify the upper air. Where there is moisture in the air (asinthe Mari- times) such a condition is sure to bring storms; and the two day'a dif- ference is just the time required to produce the effect, as I have often noticed. The Maritimes only, I be- live were aiiected “by this storm: I read of a man in N. S. being struck by the electric lluid and hurled irom a truck which he was driving. A aim- ilar combination of these three celes- tial bodies is "billed" to take place at Midday on April 11th; so about April 13th., we shouldlhear oi come dis- turbance. though, since moisture will be more evenly disturbed then, it is likely to be in come other Province. A conjunction oi two planets takes place on April 28th., 'the eiiecf, or which should be apparent about

April soth.

WANT OF THOUGHT

"Evil is wrought from want of

thought, as well as want of heart." A proverb is the wisdom of many and the wit of one. The author of the saying must have, like all of us seen many instances oi the thought- lessness which injures not only our neighbor-3 but ourselves. In this Spring season when tile snow is go- ing and the roads are muddy, what n. temptation to cross our nelghbor’s grass plot, with sleigh or wheels! I know a.!arm, not nve miles from town, which has a. wide ddveway leading from the highway to the house. The wagon track is central, and an equal wiclth=ori each side is grass smoothas a lavrmahigh hedge oi hawihom borders it, and in its season is redolent with perfume, and murmurous with the humming of innumerable bees. One would think such a place would be kept in- violate, but noi it is the usual thing for sleighs or wagons to leave the road and cut up the grass ploti Now,

:this has two results: the ovmar loses interest in his eilorts to have a tidy driveway, and the oltandu'-though
