Meteorological Changes in Peru.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
PACAsMAYo, PERU, April 2 1891
You will rembember that the biographies all
speak of Peru as being without rain on the coast.
and all the maps indicate spot here as being
q "rainless region" Well, all that is only true
in measure. There has been a most remark.
able and 1 may say disgusting change here
during the past month"; meteorological change
worthy of scientific study. First, our last VIM
ter was the longest and coolest / have ex-
perienced in Peru. The warm weather came
late and without the usual rains in the noun
tains. The heat has been excessive-alwaysh here
tofore the sure precursor of the mountain rains.
The sea water has become almost "tepid" The
Peruvian current" always cool heretofore, is
warmer now than the Gulf stream" at its
highest temperature, but still setting to the
northward, as usual.
About a fortnight ago the wind veered around
and came from the north, and it has blown
steadily from that point until today, condi-
ton OF atmosphere have not observed before
Except for five or six hours), during the
twenty-five years have been on the coast
bringing with it copious rains, accompanied BY
lightning and thunder.
But few houses are constructed to resist such
. downpour Of water, and immense damage has
been done. Railways and plantations also have
suffered much damage.
The towns not provided with sewers, or even
waterways in the streets, became large pools of
water and most Of them are in deplorable
condition. Built on, rs they generally are,
level plots Of ground, the water stood in some
instances two to three feet deep in the streets
Most Of the houses are built Of 'adobes from
the ground up an article not calculated to
resist a soaking any more than big clod OF
clay turned up by the pillow in a dry stubble
field in autumn.
We here have been more fortunate. our house
being frame structure, and have only suffered
the Inconvenience of having some of our rooms
badly soaked by the water that filtered through
the fiat roof, and We hope the worst is over
To judge by the manner in which the houses in
the old towns are built 200 to $50 years ago, it
would seem no such rains have occurred here
in that time, otherwise precautions would have
been taken against such eventualities. Still,
people are forgetful and many will not learn
even by experience. Anyway. the ''oldest resi-
dent" doesn't recollect anything like we have
just experienced.
There can be no doubt the biographies for
the rising generations should be amended to
say: 1T sometimes rains on the coast of Peru, ~
so that he who builds him house here may be
admonished to put a stone foundation under
and a water-resisting roof over it. BLK.
