METEOROLOGY.
Mild Winters and Warm and Dry
Summers.

| Written for the Advertiser.
| On former occasion we alluded to
the extreme cold weather having pre-
vailed in Europe, but we now propose
to change the view somewhat and
notice the warm winters and dry and
hot seasons that have prevailed in the
same region, by which it will be seen
that the Old Country has been ex-
posed to every extreme known in the
economy of the weather.
The winter of 1l71-2 was so warm
that the leaves came out on the trees
in January and the birds hstched
their broods in February. In 1889 the
winter was equally mild, and the
maidens of Cologne wore wreaths of
violets on Christmas day. In 142l the
trees flowered ia the month of March,
| the vines in April-tEe cherries ripen-
ed in the same month and grapes ap-
peared in May. In 1872 leaves ap-
peared on the trees again in January.
and the birds Matched their young
in February, as in 1172, Gust four GEN.
turies before). In 1856 the same thing
was repeated, and it is added that
corn was in ear at Easter. There was
in France neither snow nor frost
throughout the winters of 1907, 1909,
and 1869. Even in the north of Ger
many it was so mild during the win
ter of 1872 that fires were only need
ed for culinary purposes, and finally
coming down to later dates we find
that the winters of 1867 and 1866
were represented as unusually pleas
ant.
In regard to the dry and extreme
warm seasons referred to, we find by
reference to ancient meteorological
record, kept at Uremburg, Bavaria.
that in 1882 the earth cracked openly
reason of the great heat the wells
and streams in Alsacs all dried up,
and even the bed of the river Rhine
was dry. In 1852 the heat of the sun
was so great that sand that was ex-
posed to his rays became suflclent
hot to cook eggs. The summer OF
1l60 was so hot that a great number
OF the soldiers engaged in the cam
paign against Bella. died from the ex-
treme heat. In 1857 the crops of
hay and oats entirely failed. In 1908
a man could cross dry shod over the
rivers Seine, Rhine and Danube. In
1894 great number of animals per-
ished from the heat, and the harvests
dried up. During the years 15S9-4O
and III nearly all the rivers in Europe
were dry. In 1866 great drouth pre-
vailed nearly all over Europe. In
1913 there were fifty-six consecutive
days of extreme heat. The first three
years of the eighteenth century were
said to be excessively warm. In 17lS
it did not rain a drop from April till
October; the growing grain was dried
up, and the theatres were closed by |
order of the police. The mercury |
stood at I13 in the shade, and in irri-
gated gardens the fruit trees bIoomed |
a second time. The year I746 was so
dry and hot that the growing grain |
was calciped-months passed away |
without any rain whatever. The
years of 174s, '54. go, '67, 'G8 and 'SS
was said to have been years of ex-
extreme heat. In 1913 the theatres

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATEN I STLFFENED GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE OF precious metal is
overcome. and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
One-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is Of the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of com position metal,
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold iD these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewellers, and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your jew
eler does not keep them, send to HAGSToz
u THORPE, Ledger Building, Phiiadel-
phia, for illustrated catalogue.

Confession.

The Union has studiously avoided any
thing like admitting that the national
party was only an auxiliary of the repub-
lican party, that it was originated and
maintained for the purpose OF dividing the
democratic vote and assisting the republl-
cans to obtain and retain possession OF all
the Offices In its issue this morning,
speaking Of the rumor which existed more
in its imagination than in reality, OF the
nationals and democrats voting together
for city officers, it says: They don't
care to beat the republicans unless they
themselves can win" OF course they do
not. The men who control the national
party hate and despise the democratic
party; they never were themselves honest
democrats, they were selected and placed
in control Of the new party to 80 manage
it as to contribute to the success OF the
republican party and to individual repub-
licans. We are glad that the Union at
last admits the true object of the nationals.
If those democrats who have been seeking
coalition with nationals have tried it tc
their satisfaction, if they have been coaxed
and cajoled until almost on the eve Of
election and have been sufficiently snubbed
by the nationals, if they have at last found
out that the national party is only an
auxiliary of the republican party, ii
they finally comprehend that the
nationals never have and do not
propose to contribute in any particular to
the election Of democrat, if they at last
can see, as the Union says that they
don't care to beat republicans unless they
themselves can win''-perhaps, if these
things are we'll and sufficiently comprehend
ed, perhaps democrats will cease to con-
tribute in any way to the prosperity Of the
national party or of anyone connected with
that party, The republican politicians
have reared up a dangerous auxiliary
in this national party. For the sake OF
dividing the democratic vote they have
nurtured and caressed a serpent which

fondling. and hob-nobing with this unclean
thing in pOli;ics-this party which is at
heart communistic.some o. whose members
are openly and avowedly communists, and
who have been snubbed by the managers
OF this dark-lantern party, will do well
now to unite with the better class of citi.
zens of all parties both republican and
national, for all nationals are not com.
munists by any means, and defeat this
dark-lantern, oath-bound, political league
which is so confident of gaining posses
sion Of the city that they have gone SO

and divide up among their number the
