Wiggins' Theory.

In order that the value of Mr.. Wig
gins predictions may be appreciated
by the timorous part Of the public it is
only necessary that the records of past
years be glanced at. .March comes in
ike a lion." says the proverb, land
goes out like a lamb" It is rarely.
however, that the saying m true in
this latitude. Mr.. Virgins, like a sem
slble prophet. chose that one of the
months OF the year during which Ma
ture' IN the struggle between winter and
summer, tries to assert itself. The fol-
loving brief synopsis of the storms of
March Tor ten years will show how safe
1T was to predict a storm on any three
days of March:
March, 1872, shook its name like a
true monarch of the desert. and roared
at sundry times to the tune of sixty
mules an hour throughout the Gulf Of
mexico n the South Atlantic States.
In 1873 March also proved to be q
very stormy month, eleven severe dis
turpances having passed across the
country.
In 1874 there were noless than twelve
storms or cyclones that travelled the
country from the Rocky Mountains, do
ing great damage.
March, 1875, showed a severe storm
raging along the New Jersey and Gulf
coasts during the Cd, Sd, 4th, 9Th and
9th. Eleven storms, most of which
were severe, visited the country that
month.
The storms of March. 1876, were
eight in number. In many places the
wind blew over fifty miles per hour.
The Atlantic and Gulf coasts were the
greatest sufferers.
In March, 1877, there weretwelve dis
turbances, accompanied by destructive
gales.
March. 1873, will be long remembered
by the terrific storms both on the At
lantic coast and in the Northwest. The
snow-storm in the latter district was the
most severe on record,
The meteorological record of March,
1879, would impress any one who
studies it that it is avery simple matter
to predict a great storm during the
month, with immense chances of sue
cess. No less than eight storms crossed
the territory between the Rocky Mount
aims and the Atlantic coast, many of
them being traceable from the Pacific.
In March. 1880. sixteen disturbances
crossed the country, mainly from the
Northwest, but some of which caused
gales of wind amounting to fifty-six
miles an hour along the Atlantic co st.
In March, 1881, there were nine
storms reported, during the movement
of which such wind velocities were at
tanned as: Delaware Breakwa Ell, seven
tv miles: Cape May, lorty-four miles;
Sandy Hook, fifty-six miles; Th tchers
Island, sixty-six miles; New York, for
ty-eight, and Hatteras lifty-eight miles.
From the above it will be seen that it
would be by far more difficult to guess
at a clear day than a bad one during
this month Y. Herald.
