 the United States Signal Omce.
 The recent big drop in the temperature awakened strong suspicious in the public mind that this winter was yet to signalize itself for 8 frequent occurrence of "celd waves" The temperature fell on Tuesday about thirty degrees. The night previous it was too warm to snow and the large quanti- ty of rain that fell that night was converted into thick ice in short metre when the "big drop" came. The boys waded through ponds
 of water on the historic old Green on Tues
 day and yesterday were skating upon them.
 The sudden change was quite severely felt
 and many thought the temperature must
 have fallen below zero, judging from their
 feelings on the subject. The thermometer
 hugged zero pretty close early yesterday
 morning. Jack Frost decorated the windows
 yesterday and last night in his most fanciful
 style and the fur and coal dealers had boom
 in business, while the selecting Of Spring
 overcoats was indefinitely postponed. The
 blizzards out West, however, make New Ha-
 ven people tolerably content with their
 
 for to-day is indicated.
 The following is one of several similar re- quests and we republish the weather signals in answer:
 If you please sir, give us some day an explana-
 tion of the meteorological signals the Insur ance building the red flags and white flags with their various devices, etc.
 Very respectfully yours, J. T. L. THE SIGNAL FLAGS. Some misapprehension appears to still ex- ist as to the significance of the signal flags displayed op the insurance building. The indications of these flags are especially for the benefit of mariners. The red flag signi- Ges that wind velocity as high twenty five miles an hour will occur within one hun dred miles of this port; red and white in one hoist indicate an anticipated high northwest wind. The large white flag, always displayed alone, is the cold-wave signal. It indicates a fall in the temperature of twenty to thirty de- grees within twenty-four hours. It often happens that the storm flag is flying when the cold-wave signal Is ordered up. In that case as there is but one staff on the bnilding, the warning can only be made known through the medium of bulletins and the press. It is expected that separate pole, to be utilized by the cold-wave signal alone, will be soon erected.
 It should be borne in mind that the storm flags, so called, have no reference to anti cipated rain snow; there is no signal to give this warning.
