Few persons have failed to note the signs
of rapid decay everywhere visible among the
trees. The foliage rapidly attained its matu-
rity during the present Summer, and is alrea-
dy beginning TO fall. Other signs, too, point
TO the approach OF autumn. Whileitis prob
able that there will be some warm weather,
there are also indications that there will be an
early winter. The meteorological records for
long periods show that the mean temperature
Of any section of the country u.aiutains an
equilibrium, the average annual temperature
being about the same. If thete is H prolong-
cd heated term the record is evened up by a
corresponding spell Of cold weather. The
same is true of the rainfall The annual rain
fail is generally about the same, a drought in
one part of the year being followed by wet
spell in another part Of the year.
