THE CAUSE OF 1T.

To the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN,;
The cause Of the floods at this time Is duo to
succession of high "lOws"-i. C., the storm centre
low barometer, technically called "iow," has
through the winter travelled across the country
on general lines from tho West toward the East on
high lines. There have been few on n low line,
but when low low" has occurred there has
either been In connection with 1t n high "low,"
which nouralized 1t, or 1t has followed q course
similar to the one which passed over the country
from the It'll to the 1Oh-that is, mp the Mississippi
Valley, thence to the st. Lawrence Valley, passing
off the coast In the extreme Northeast. When
"low appears in the Southwest, as on the MORN
ing ofthe 7tR Instant II is very apt and generally
docs produce snow, therefore the " indications
for the day were for snow, but very little If any
snow made its appearance Our atmosphere was
already warmed by high " low" just passed, and
that one on the 9Th, in tho Southwest. Instead OF
KEErfNG ON A Low LINE,
Immediately advanced to high line, bringing
warm DIR with it-therefore rain, Had "ow" during
the past four or five months travelled across the
country on low lines, or mostly on low lines. we
would have had cold. freezing weather, snow In
stead OF rain, and an abundance of ice. In that
case the floods would not have made their APP
pcarance until later IN the season, when slow"
began to cross the country on high lines. The
wind Is always toward low" II low Is ON a
high line, Il will cause south winds, and south
winds Hre warm; If on u low line Twill cause
north winds, and north winds are cold. The
course of the great majority OF the lows" or
storm centres that have passed over the country
the past winter have been such as to produce not
only rain, but warm weather, which has thnwcd
much of the snow that has fallen in northern dis
! tricts.
THE RESULT OF THIS
has been carly floods 1t has certainly been a
queer winter When low" travels on such lines

that we never could have any power over Glow to
direct Its course therefore must expect to abide
L atNgN IF
power which we have termed "low." lie goes
where the subtle influence of the sun dictates, and
often creates weather out of season, bringing heat
here and cold there Mt will; Therefore we have al
! times warm weather in winter and cold weather

cular power. It's results We can now account for.
but its effects we must abide MS we are powcrless
