GILES AND FAMILY IN NEW YORK.

-OFFICIAL
FTER a dreary night sympathising with the baby over her teething difficulties, my wife and I ent down to a seven o'clock breakfast with the joy of living at its lowest ebb.
Half-way through the porridge course the sun came out, and instantly our spirits soared. We even began a conversation-a rare event in our house so carly in the day.
"Why does the sight of sunshine automatically make you feel good?" my wife naked.
I explained. Chiefly as a result of our childhood experiences we unconsciously associated sunshine with pleasure. The memory of pleasure makes heart beat faster. The circula-
your tion of the blood, especially to the brain, is stimulated. So you feel better.

No, Jimmy we are 3,000,000 miles nearer the sun in midwinter than in midsummer. Summer is warmer because the northern hemisphere points towards the Run then. In winter it points away, from it.
No, Jimmy, It is not planning, it is just a coincidence that the moon Ats exactly over the sun to give a total eclipno.
