Why the Therm onelers Differ.

kditOr Stdr:-Dlr1ng the recent cold snap
many statements OF extraordinarily low TEN
l"rature were made and the great differences
between such reports from local stations not
Iar distant from each other have caile1 for. h
much criticism and ridtcula from those who
have not closely studied the laws and condi-
tons governing the subject. few ooserva-

be Of Interest TO some OF your readers.

AS an Illustration OF the truth Of this theory.
On the morning OF January 1s5 OF the current
year, within radius OF four miles OF Sandy
Spring, Montgomery county Nd, embracing a
moderately rolling country with probably not
more than 200 feet as the extreme variation OF
level, there was difference OF 80 degrees Faren-

25 degrees below zero, according TO the eleva-

The Folly of the Large school

that part OF the city formerly known as the
Island, with more than rs schools ana 500
scholoIS taught therein, located In a section not

much more magnificent" than Ia other parts
more central.
il cannot be denied that the interes: OF edu-
cation and the pubic good and convenience
would have been much more promoted had the
cost OF this building been distributed to the
erection OF at least half a dozen plain, substan-
t1al structures properly located In That section.
