I do not know of any surer way of predicting the changes in the weather (says a correspondent of the Cincinnati Inquirer) than by observing the habits of the snail. They do not drink, but imbibe moisture during a rain, and exude it afterwards. This animal is never seen abroad except before a rain, when you will see it climbing the bark of trees and getting on the leaves. The tree snail, as it is called, two days before rain will climb up the stems of plants, and, if the rain is going to be a hard and long one, they get on the sheltered side of a leaf, but, if a short rain, on the outside. Then there are other species that, before a rain are yellow; after it, blue. Other indi- cate rain by holes and protuberance, which before a rain rise as large as tubercles. These will begin to show themselves ten days before a rain. At the end of each tubercle is a pore which opens, when the rain comes, to absorb and draw in the moisture. In other snails deep indentations, beginning at the head between the horns and ending with the juncture of the tail, appear a few days before a storm. Every farmer knows, when swallows fly low, that rain is coming; sailors, when the seagulls fly towards the land, when the stormy petrel appears, or Mother Carey's chickens, as they are called, predict foul weather. Take the ants. Have you never noticed the activity they display before a storm—hurry, scurry, rushing hither and yon, as if they were letter- carriers making six trips a day, or express men behind time ? Dogs grow sleepy and dull, and like to lie before a fire as rain approaches; chickens pick up pebbles, fowls roll in the dust, flies sting and bite more viciously, frogs croak more clamorously, gnats assemble under trees, and horses display restlessness. When you see a swan flying against the wind- spiders crowding on a wall, toads coming out of their holes in unusual numbers of an evening; worms, slugs, and snails appearing; robin redbreasts pecking at our windows, pigeons coming to the dovecote earlier than usual, peacocks squalling at night, mice squeak- ing or geese washing, you can put them down as rain signs. Nearly all the animals have some way of telling the weather in advance. It may be that the altered condition of the atmosphere with regard to electricity, which generally accompanies changes of the weather, makes them feel disagreeable or pleasant. The fact that a cat licks herself before a storm is urged by some naturalists as proof of the special influences of electricity. Man is not so sensitive; yet many feel listless before a storm, to say nothing of aggravated headaches, toothaches, rheumatic paina, and last, but not least, corns.
