THE ANNUAL AMOUNT OF HEAT.-It is a re-
markable fact that countries lying within the
same degrees of latitude differ greatly in the
ranges Of their temperature. On The west coast
OF Europe the winters are comparatively warm
and the summers equally cool, while on the
eastern coast Of America the reverse Of this is
trdc. Thus in countries lying 100 further north
in western Europe than New York. the average
Temperature in January is 800 and that of july
60o--a range of only thirty degrees In New
York the range of variation often amounts to
nearly 100 degrees.
in January last. the thermometer in New
York stood from so to 20 degrees below zero.
for some days; while it ranged from 95 to 9S
degrees above it, for some days last week. But
although the ranges of temperature differ great
ly in different countries, the actual amount of
heat annually, is according to the position of
the country in relation to the poles and the
equator.
In Europe by long observation, it has been
found that the mean temperature of a place re-
mains nearly the same. The winter NAV be
unusually cold, and the summer unusually hot.
while the mean temperature has not varied one
degree; q very cold winter is generally sue
ceeded by very warm summer, and vice oersa.
This has also been found to be the case with our
own climate-thc relative distribution of heat
over summer and winter undorgoes compare
lively small variations. A cold winter is gen
orally succeeded by Il warm summer We have
noticed an exception, ard oly one to this rule:
that was the summer of 1856, which was wet
and cold and succeeded very long and cold
winter. This was accounted for by three very
large dark spots on the suns disk. which were
seen distinctly with the naked eye for at least an
entire week.
