this country to the Holy Land, to prepare the
way for re-establishing Masonic Lodges there,
in lieu of those, thousands of years deiunct.
On their return, Society was formed in 1869,
called the American Holy Land Exploration,
comprising many of our brightest Masons, in
which all the preliminary arrangements were
made for the forthcoming organization. Final

Mason of age, rank and long experience, set

amplcst powers to perfect this work, then five
years in preparation. On the seventh day oil

Jerusalem, the same quarry from which the

King Solomon" he constituted and opened

"a Year without a summer"

Our townsman, Mr.. Arson Davis, has fur
nisbed US with an account Of some Of the pc
culiar characteristics of the year 1915, com
monty known MS " the year wlthouta summer,
for some Of which he Is indebted 10 an account
published in the Lockport IN. " Union, and
others to his own memory.
The month of December previous had been
extremely cold, but January and February
were uncommonly mild and pleasant. March
and April both opened with pleasant genial
weather, but closed with cold temperature and
boisterous storms
May was more remarkable for its frowns
than smiles. Buds and flowers were frozen,
ice formed to the thickness Of hnlf an inch,
corn was killed, and the fields were again and
again planted, until deemed too late.
June was the coolest ever known in this lati-
tude. Frost, ice and snow were common.
Mr. Davis well remembers during this month
Of finding birds frozen upon their nests, and in
the barns swallows froze and fell upon the
floor. Almost everything green was killed.
Fruit was all destroyed Snow fell to the
depth OF ten inches in this State, and much
suffering was experienced
July was accompanied by frost and ice. On
the fifth, ice formed to the depth Of common
window glass throughout the state Indian
corn was nearly all destroyed
August was more cherries yet, If possible
Ice formed to the thickness of halfan-inch.-
Indian corn that escaped the previous cold was
so frozen that the greater part was cut down
and dried for fodder. Almost everything green
was destroyed both in this country and in Eu.
rope. Very little corn rpened in New Eng
land and the Middle States 1t sold for from
s. 10 IS per bushel
September furnished about two weeks OF the
mldest weather Of the season. soon after the
middle, it became very cold and frosty and ice
formed. October produced more than its share
Of cold weather, frost and ice particularly
November was cold and clustering Enough
snow fell to make good sleghing. December
was quite mild and comfortable.
The above is brief summary of the cold
summer of 1916, as It was called. The win
ter was mild Frost and ice were common in
each month Of the year. Very little vegetation
matured in the New England Eastern, or
Middle States The suns rays seemed to be
destitute Of heat through the summer; all
nature seemed to be clad in sable hue, and men
exhibited no little anxiety concerning the
future Of this life
The average wholesale price of four during
that year was thirteen dollars per barrel
