NUMB Err 3 4


The third week of last month brought
great storms no. only TO this country, but, it
seems, 10 pretty much all the world. Under
the appropriate title Of the worlds blizzard
the Philadelphia Press gives IN interesting
compilation from the foreign mails. OF the
severity of the storm in London details have
already been gwen. At Taunton, England,
the snowdrifts averaged ten feet deep, and
all postal communication was stopped and
in many places on the Salisbury plain snow
was twenty feet deep, and four persons per
ished in the storm. Two men were frozen
to death at Warwick, and three school chill
dren were found dead near Swindon. These
are few only Of the many disasters reported
from England, and Wales and Scotland suf-
fercd equally, railroads were completely
blockaded, and nearly all steamboat and
shipping traffic was brought almost 10 a
standstill. Many people perishcd from the
cold in Dublin and other places in Ireland.
Throughout France the snow was almost un-
prcccdcntcd and at Geneva ''it frose, hail
cd, showed, rained, thundered, lishtened
and blew n tempcst-all within few hours. -"
An earthquake was felt at Canton, Switzer-
land, and an avalanche fell upon
the village Of Tessin, killing many persons.
In Spain the Guadalquvir rose twenty feet
above its level, and flooded the adjacent
country, and the Tagus overflowed the
streets of Guadaljara to the depth Of many
feet. At Nalladolid the people worked all
night raising cmhankments along the Alcade
to save the city while the Sagura Hooded

and fell 80 feet beyond their wonted bounds,

Gfty vessels were wrecked in the Meditcrran-
can sea Throughout Turkey the weather
was the scvercst known in years, with the
concomitants of heavy snowfall and several
earthquakes. Beginning the 1lth ultimo, n
hurricane swept ever the northern part OF
Russia, doing great damage, and Sweden
Jared no better than Russia. Earlier
in the month the dykes at Nieuwk-
uyk, Holland which had stood for
eighty years, gave way, and a dis
trict containing 10000 people was annexed
to the SEA, with great loss of life. The
Orange Free State and Cape Colony, South
Africa, were visited by hurricanes, and
thousands of sheep were destroyed and hun
dreds of acres of vineyards ruined. In China
and Japan the winter was the severcst in the
recent history Of those two countries.
