OLD TIME WINTER.

In 1904 the cold was 80 intense that the
Thames was covered with ice sixty.one
inches thick. Almost sllth birds persisted.
In 1851 the cold was so excessive that
the famished wolves entered Vienna and
attacked beasts and even men. Many PEG.
pie in Germany were frozen TO death in
1905 and the winters Of 1897 and 1899
were nearly as bad.
Ia 1909 occurred that famous winter
called, by distinction, the cold winter. All
the rivers and lakes we're frUxen and even
the sea for several miles from the shore.
The ground was frozen nine feet deep.
Birds and beasts were struck dead in the
fields, and men persisted by thousands in
their houses. In the South Of France the
vine plantations were almost all destroyed,
nor have they yet recovered that fatal dis
asler. The Adriatic sea was frozen, and
even the Mediterranean about Genoa, and
the citron and orange groves suffered ex-
tremely IN the finest parts Of Italy.
In ZIG the winter was so intense that
people travelled across the straighis from
Copenhagen to the province Of Senis, in
Sweden.
In 1879, in Scotland, muIlitudes Of cat.
tie and sheep were buried 10 tho snow.
/ 10 1850 the winter was scarcely inferior
to that Of 1909. The snow lay ten feet
deep IN Spain and Portugal. The Zuyder
Zee was frozen over, and thousands Of PEG.
! pie went over 1t. All the lakes in Eng
land froze.
In l745 the winter was very cold. Snow
fell in Portugal TO the depth Of twenty.
three feet on level.
In l75 and 1855 the winters were very
severe and cold. La England, the strong.
est ale, exposed TO the air in glass, was
covered 10 fifteen minutes with ice one
eighth Of an inch thick.
La III the Elbe was frozen to the bot.
tom.
Ia l776 the Danube bore ice five fee.
deep below Vienna. Vast numbers of the
feather and finny tribes persisted.
The winters of 1854 and $ were I'm.
commonly severe. The little Bel, was
frozen over.
From 1900 TO 1912 also, the winters
were remarkably cold, particularly the
latter in Russia; which proved SO disas-
trous to the French army.
