Heavenly
Bodies
A
haziness
in
the
air,
which
dims
the
sun's
light,
and
makes
the
orb
appear
whitish,
or
ill-defined--or
at
night,
if
the
moon
and
stars
grow
dim,
and
a
ring
encircles
the
former,
rain
will
follow.
If
the
sun's
rays
appear
like
Moses'
horns--if
white
at
setting,
or
shorn
of
his
rays,
or
if
he
goes
down
into
a
bank
of
clouds
in
the
horizon,
bad
weather
is
to
be
expected.
If
the
moon
looks
pale
and
dim,
we
expect
rain;
if
red,
wind;
and
if
of
her
natural
colour,
with
a
clear
sky,
fair
weather.
If
the
moon
is
rainy
throughout,
it
will
clear
at
the
change,
and,
perhaps,
the
rain
return
a
few
days
after.
If
fair
throughout,
and
rain
at
the
change,
the
fair
weather
will
probably
return
on
the
fourth
or
fifth
day.

Weather
Precautions.
If
the
weather
appears
doubtful,
always
take
the
precaution
of
having
an
umbrella
when
you
go
out,
as
you
thereby
avoid
the
chance
of
getting
wet--or
encroaching
under
a
friend's
umbrella.--or
being
under
the
necessity
of
borrowing
one,
which
involves
the
trouble
of
returning
it,
and
possibly
puts
the
lender
to
inconvenience.

Leech
Barometer.
Take
an
eight
ounce
phial
and
three-parts
fill
it
with
water,
and
place
in
it
a
healthy
leech,
changing
the
water
in
summer
once
a
week,
and
in
winter
once
in
a
fortnight,
and
it
will
most
accurately
prognosticate
the
weather.
If
the
weather
is
to
be
fine,
the
leech
lies
motionless
at
the
bottom
of
the
glass,
and
coiled
together
in
a
spiral
form;
if
rain
may
be
expected,
it
will
creep
up
to
the
top
of
its
lodgings,
and
remain
there
till
the
weather
is
settled;
if
we
are
to
have
wind,
it
will
move
through
its
habitation
with
amazing
swiftness,
and
seldom
goes
to
rest
till
it
begins
to
blow
hard;
if
a
remarkable
storm
of
thunder
and
rain
is
to
succeed,
it
will
lodge
for
some
days
before
almost
continually
out
of
the
water,
and
discover
great
uneasiness
in
violent
throes
and
convulsive-like
motions;
in
frost
as
in
clear
summer-like
weather
it
lies
constantly
at
the
bottom;
and
in
snow
as
in
rainy
weather
it
pitches
its
dwelling
in
the
very
mouth
of
the
phial.
The
top
should
be
covered
over
with
a
piece
of
muslin.
