the reply.
And you have more or less CORE

Some Very Cold Days.

It is BIT of coincidence that the
comet upon which Napoleon's soldiers
gazed seventy wears ago. when thew
were making that dreadful march from
Moscow, which resulted in the death
from cold and exposure of 4oU,uUo men,
should be accompanied on its reappear-
ance with bitter cold spell of weather.
When it swept out of sight, the world
witnessed an unusually severe winter
The incident, as well as the present
cold snap, recalls other severe winters.
N ctober, 163, and February, 76I,
the denizens of the cities of mosques
and minarets were astonished by cold
spell of weather, and the two seas at
Constantinople were frozen over for
twenty days. In 1868 the TIL mes WIS
frozen over for fourteen wee $. In
1407 the cold was so intense in England
that all the small birds persisted, and in
1888 the large fowl of the air were driven
by the terrible cold into the towns and
cities of Germany.
In 146s the winter was so severe in
Flanders that the wine distributed was
cut with Latchets.
The year 1903 was noted for cold
weather in England. Thousands of for
est and shade trees were split BY frost,
birds and stock persisted, a line of
stages ran on the Thames for several
weeks, and shops were built on the ice
in the middle of the Thames.
In 1851 the wolves were driven by the
cold into Vienna, where they attacked
men and Gait on the streets.
In 1910 quicksilver fro in the Their
mometer bulbs at Moscow. One of the
most remarf lie chan res of tempera-
t re was witnessed at Hornsev and
Hammersmith, near London, in 1871.
The thermometer was three degrees be-
low zero on the tn of anuary. and
seventy-two hours later it had leaped to
tifty-two degrees above zero.
With respect to America, some OF
the remarkable cold spells were as
follows: In 1880. and again 1871, New
York Harbor was frozen over so that
teams were driven across the ice to
Staten Island. The neighboring State
of Indiana saw weather cold enough 10
CONCEAL the mercury in 1896. The
winter OF 1881 was made memorable by
cold weather. On the 18th and til
DAYS of january many deaths occurred
from the intense cold d residents oil
Mobile saw the thermometer sink to
zero.
A record of cold sieges would be i'm
perfect without mention of the terri
bly sud en- storm that swept over the
country in 1865, which has gone into
history as the cold New Year $. A
dravman was frozen to death in Gin
cinnati while driv ng a.ong the street;
Z man climbing . fence in NJ nnesota
froze to death and toppled over into the
snow, while the loss of human and
