THE AMERICAN CLIMATE.

10 ne Editor o. me " y. ITi1uHe
SIR: Having read an article in TIE TRIBUNE on the
American climate inwhich ii stated that English Re-
view and Deser have pronounced our climate unavor
able phi sical vgor, must beg permission 10 say
word ON the subject
An portions OF the earth have their climate made
from combination of causes of which the proximity Of
water is one the chief In Western Europe the climate
is what from ts vicinity to the tho fro
ouency of westerly winds in carrying the moisture land
ward for il is fact well known to that westerly
winds prevail the oceans, especially the Pacific,
from rs greater extent probably all but constantly above
the region Of the trade winds say from 25 70 30 deg
easerly winds DO within those parallels These westerly
winds carry evaporation from our Atlantic coast instead OF
bringing ito us, in Europe The fact tina. different
countries fall the same sohermal lines has little to do
with their humidity. Ireland and Engande over against
Labrador: France corresponds with Canada and New
England; Spain and Morocco with Middle aad South
ern States just 90 the Pacific, and you will find At
Vancouvers Island and the country about Nooka Sound
the same climate in England and Holland except what
NAV be occesioned by the country back being high land
instead of low, ike Holland And is not the climate of
California much like that of Spain 1t s or should by
this time be known that these prevalent west winds north
of 30 deg give mdness OF climate 10 the west sides OF
both continents and a in the eastern part of Europet the
airs dry and the and neremperaure more va
rable Why even here in Michigan the open waters OF
Lake Michigan in extreme winter weather when westerly
winds prevail, they usually do, give US 10 deg over
Wisconsin and Northern llineis
was raised in New Hampshire but have resided in Or
eeon and have observed that the moisture naturally de-
ponds on the proximity of water the Of the Winds
and the extent and elevation of the land varying accord
ing the thousands Of locations vary to surrounding
objects In Taftary and other parts of Central Asia you
find the climate Of Utah, Nebraska and New Mexico,
while the United States are not unlike China All those
circumstances modify the human and other animals the
world over The extremes of winters and summers
suppose have more to do in forming the American char
acer than the dryness of the air for in New England,
with the sterile soil and severe winters activity necessary
TO existence WERE and the activity and industry thus
induced have become habual and constitutional. 1t
NAV be with extreme activity may not last 40 long
or Be so fat the phlegmatc Europeans though
should be compared with the French and Spaniars TO
location and with the inhabitants of the British Islands
and Northern Germany. Your obedient servant, J.B.

Soulouque's administration in ls47,

with which the unsettled condition Of af-
