THE PREDICTED TAMINE
Sir William Beveridge of Kngland, who computes weath-
er conditions over long period*, days that if his figures are
correct, 1023 will be a year of terrific floods and famine.
It seems that there are four different weather cycles affect-
ing crops, and all these combine in a "maximum unfavorable
phase indicating heavy and harmful deluges (in northern
Europe, in any case) during the period from February to Sept-
ember 1923." The conditions on which this prediction is
based cover KO0 years.
The Abbe Moreaux, of the Horges Astronomical obser-
vatory. and Hruchner, the Swiss meterologist, "plot sun-spots
period* on to general crimate conditions of the temperate
regions and discover 17 years of dry weather followed by 17
years of wetness." The results worked out by these two
expert apply to 34 American stations, together with the Hrit-
i-h l.-les, Belgium and France.
Tile Abbe Moreaux does not say that 1923 itself will be
either dry or wet, but what he does insist upon is that "at the
end of 193G, the total rainfall for the preceding 17 years
will be greatly lower than for the years of the wet cycle from
1901 to 11)18."
Various other meteorological experts agree to some ex-
tent with these prophecies, although Sir William Beveridge,
with his four cycles of temperature, rainfall and metrulogical
and astronomical data, all pointed wetly to 1923, is the one
who feels most sure of next year's floods.
However one may feel personally in regard to prophecies
of floods, famines or anything else, a little thrift in this year
of plenty might not bo a bad thing. With the barns and cel-
lar full of staples, with neat rows of cans and jars on the
shelves, and with the figures in the old bank book running
a little higher than they ever were before, one can await dis-
asters with considerable peace of mind.
O
THE WAR DANCE
Now that the dancing craze is said to be passing, various
analysis are trying to explain it. One of the most interest-
ing attempts is that of Miss Cicely Hamilton in the London
Chronicle.
The "passion for stepping and whirling to music," she re-
marks. came to its climax as the world laid down its arms,
in the fall of 1918. It was not a method of rejoicing over vic-
tory, for the Germans "hopped it as wildly as the conqueror."
Nor was it "an excuse for the coming together of the sexes
whom war had divided," for she say men dancing with each
other by hundreds, wildly and contententedly, in the absence
of women. It was an unexpected outbreak of some obsecure
crowd-emotion, and she thinks it was nothing less than a mod-
ern exemplification, on a vast scale, of the primitive war
dance.
"We might guard the better against future outbreaks of
wholesale savagery—might control more wisely our sudden
herd-impulses—if we understood the percise connection be-
tween the shedding of blood and the pleasure of capering to
music. For there is a connection, fundamental and eternal,
which the savage, in his war-dance, has always been aware
of, bnt which civilized (bo called civilized) man had for-
gotten till the blood-fever swept over Europe and America.
With the fever in his veins the white man dancer—like the
savage arrayed in his war-paint."
That may explain part of the craze, but hardly all of it.
As the writer realizes, there are two great incitements to
the dance—war and love. War may have started the cavort-
ing; but the war dance, in America at least, in its later
stages has this latter phase is, if possible, worse than the
former, there is all the more rejoicing among human beings
that its fury is dying out.
