Weatherwise nutlinrities differ as to die date to look for the coming of In- (fUn summer. One man says look for It Vho first tep d iys iff October. An other says after the autumnal equinox, HhOrWrtept. 22, the time of the hirvest moon. Andth» r sav* look for H after the firsY frosts. The dictionarv de- teribes It fts a_”perhido/ warm weather late In autumn.” It improbable that no time can he arbitrarily Set for its ap pearance and duration. It varies ac cording to rhb season and the locality. It is usually characterized by a clear sky and^by * hazy appearnnro of the atmosphere, especially near the hori zon. The days are warm ami peace ful like those In which the halcyon lays her eggr*. The name ‘‘Indian summer” is probably derived from the custom of the Indians for using this time in preparing for winter by laying In store* for food.-~Fr«e Lance. — »a»(G HIGH FLYERS.
