THE ANIMAL. AMOUNT OF HEAr.-It is re-,
markable fact that countries lying within the
same degrees of latitude differ greatly in the
ranges OF their Temperature On the west coast
iOtsEurope the winters are comparatively warm
and the SUMMERS equally cool, while on the
eastern coast of America the reverse of this is
true. Thus, in countries lying sixteen degrees
further north in western Europe than New
York, the average Temperature in January is
thirty degrees and thai of July sixty degrees-
range ofOnly thirty degreesif In New York
the range of variation often amounts to bearly
one huudred degrees. %
| In january last the Thermometer in New
York, stood from five ito seven degrees below
zero, for some days ;,while it ranged from nine
ty-fve to ninety eight degrees above it, for
some days recently. But although the ranges
of temperature differ greatly in different coun-
tries, actual amount ofheats annually, is accor-
