Cities Warmer Than the Country.

Those who happen to live at little
distance from the heart of the city
must frequently have noticed lack of
accord between readings of their own
standard thermometers and the publish
ed observations of the Signal Service
observers of their locality. The reason
of the discord is plain, viz, the per-
turbing action of the heat which the
city emits; and however gratifying it
may be to the outsider to find himself
superior to the government observers,
it is very little credit to the Weather
Bureau that this particular source of
error was not long since recognized
and avoided. The remarks of Prof.
Whitney on this subject, as applied to
observations made at London, are per-
tinent and convincing. He says: at
is a well-known fact that cities are con-
siderably warmer than the more thinly
inhabited country, otherwise under
similar climatic conditions. Statistics
should prove this to be true; and there
could be no doubt that.such would be
tie effect of an immediate aggregation
OF population within a limited space,
even if there were no statistics bearing
on this question. Many millions of
tons of coal are burned in and about
big cities during every year, and the
whole mass of brick of which the city
is built is heated during the entire
winter, and more or less III the summer,
many degrees above the natural tenn
perature. There can be no question
that conditions such as here indicated
vitiatc all observations made in or near
large cities with view to the deter-

ford, England. A servant of DR.. Terry
was sent out to carry n message. She
was short-sighted, and failing to return
it was feared she had fallen into the

success. Several days later an old
woman suggested that u loaf of bread
in which some quicksilver had been
placed should be 1loatcd on the water.
This was done and the loaf became
stationary at Il certain point. The
dragging was resumed at this point
and the body found. The superstition
is said to be centuries old, but no one
