The March storms of 1884 will go on
the record as the most severe known in
Wisconsin for years. On March 1st,
the heaviest snow storm of the season
was experienced in Milwaukee, and the
great fall of snow necessitated the use
of snow plows in clearing the sidewalks
In Southwestern Wisconsin, the worst
of the storm was on March End. Du-
ring the morning a large quantity of
light snow fell, but in the afternoon a
binding storm was raging, the strong
northerly winds whirling the snow
through the air in such masses as to al
most obstruct objects across the street
from view. Visitors from Dakota re-
marked that that storm was fair sam
pie of Dakota blizzard, only the wind
did not blow with quite as much yeloc-
ity as it did in that country tits some
satisfaction to know that such storms
are of rare occurrence in Wisconsin,
and it is hoped that no more of them
win visit the State hereafter.

QUIzzIsM. response to Question
6 has been quite meager. Was it too
hard, or too easy? We believe the an
swer to be briefly this: First, the rays
are much reduced in temperature by
passing through more atmosphere;
Second, cold air is continually received
from the vicinity where sun-rays are not
vertical; Third, the warmth of any place
depends not wholly upon direct rays,
but largely, also, upon reflected heat
from surrounding objects. The last two
reasons also explain why the tempera-
ture in the shade is not much lower
than it is.
Question No. will be continued
