continued reflections of the equatorial All
rent northvarrl has been, 81 far, the charactrris
tic Of the winter. The mean temperature of Key
West for the month of January is lower than
that which prevailed this side of the Mississippi
river On Sunday.
The effect of this broad. s0ntherly air stream
is observed in the great humidity and frequent
dense fngs which follow. Its remote cause wonld
seem to be tIacrable To an extraordinary radia-
tion Of solar heat during the present mid sum
mer of the southern hemisphere, the excess of
heated air being forced across the equator into
our hempshPre. These warm spells have already
very materially shortened and mitgated the
winter, which the poor so much dreaded. aud If
they shnnld continue at intervals till Eel ruaTy,
this will he one Of the mildest winters in Ameri-

NAL changes, in the opinion of able metearno-
gists. come from causes exterior tn tho continent
and il is said that they seldom have cnmpeusa-
tive changes during the same year aud in the
same hemisphere. II does not, therefore, follow
that the extreme mildness of the early part of
the winter will be followed by extreme severity
but. if we may jndge from experience, rather
to the contrary.
