1t may be IN the interest of the coal mo-
nopoly that we are told every day that we
are to have an unusually severe winter this
year, "because, you know, hot summer
is always followed by cold winter" We
don't know anything Of the kind. If one
extreme is invariably succeeded by its OPP
posite extreme, then, given one hot sum-
mer or one cold winter to start with, and
it logically follows that all succeeding win
tiers Will be arctic ones and all summers
scorchers. Then again, if it be true that
one extreme follows another, the converse
is also true, that one extreme is preceded
by another. Therefore, this remarkably
warm summer was preceded by a remark
ably cold winter. Which it was not.
