THE HOTTEST OCTOBER IN FIFTY YEARS.
The Philadelphia Ledger Of october is says
Those OF our readers who find 1t necessary to
begin conversation by talking of the weather
Will find in our local columns enough fact about
october weather OF this and preceding years to
make the subject a principal instead of merely
preliminary topic. Some very cold weather in
the latter part of the month may bring down
the averages but october, 1879, has already
scored enough hot days to make the
month ''phenomenal' in the sense to which
one of our correspondents objects In the
fiftyfour years from 1925 to 1878, inclusive 1874
1874 days the thermometer marked 50 degrees
or upwards. But during october, 1879, the ther-
mOmeter at the same place has marked SO de-
grees or over on eleven out Of seventeen days.
This high temperature for October was reached
on less than l per cent. OF the october days
prior to 1879, but on 65 per cent. of the days in
the record for this month. There are many
other facts OF interest in the article, all going to
show that this has been remarkable month,
and furnishing an eleven days wonder to those
who study thermometers.
