WASHINGTON SCIENTIFIC AssocIArIoN-At
one Of the regular meetings Of this association,
held on Thursday evening, at the lecture room OF
the Medical College, upper haIl,) paper was
read by Mr.. John A. Fowle, one OF the directors
Of the association, on the " Climate OF the Csn-
adas." IL was submitted by French Priest Of
Quebec The paper gave brief statement of the
winter climste Of Canada for the pastt hundred
and thirty years quoting from Jacques Cautier,
Father BresSain, Charlevauix, and Others, to show
that the winters now as severe as in the 10th,
18th, and 18th centuries. He also claimed TO show
that clearing the lands had not modified the
climate Of Canada. II was an interesting paper,
and gave rise 10 some discussion.
Mr.. Fowle said, In submitting the paper, he
differed from the author In his conclusions, and
also thought his statement Of facts was not en-
tirely correct in the contrast Of northern winters
Of the 18th and 18th centuries. The speaker gave
an account Of the difference OF the winters of
Europe and America In the same latitude; that
Of Europe in the latitude Of New England and
Canada being mild, while on this continent II 10
often quite severe. This difference the speaker
accounted for because Of the immense fields Of
ice directly north Of America, covering all the
lakes and rivers the northern part OF this con-
tinent, consequently our northerly winds, as well
an those from the northeast and northwest, are
very cold. In Europe the fields of ice are farther
north, and the prevailing winds in the winter
season are OF different Temperature from ours,
being affected by the warmth Of the Gulf stream,
which leaves our continent and sets It, course
eastward
Mr. Fowler doubted the statement that the
forest elearings had produced no effect In the
severity Of the winter. In New England and
New York he thought Il was very perceptible
and We can account for the change OF temperature
In our winters during the past fifty years In no
other way. He made statements relative to the
great change during two centuries OF the winter
season In Germany and parts Of Europe, to prove
that the clearing Of vast extent Of country from
It's forests make the temperature higher
Mr.. Disturnell, Of New York, also made an
interesting statement Of facts relative to winter
temperature; and the members discussed the
merits Of the paper
IL Is expected by the association that Prof
Henry, Of the Smithsonian Institute, will read a
paper at the next regular meeting Of the associ-
alton.
