The Cold Period of lIny.

NSW lOEh flCiulus
The recently low temperature quite
generally reported In this country will
correspond with that usually looked
for in May. 1t has been frequently
observed that spells of unreasonable
cold set in about the beginning OF the
second week in this month and con-
tinue to the third week, or even
longer. While this phenomenon does
not always occur in u marked degree,
1t Is. as rnle to be expected.
1t Is true we have recently had SO
much chilly and unspringlike weather
that one might be disposed to think
the May cold spell had passed. But 1t
will not be prudent to make such an
assumption. Until the third week OF
the month % over there .s little reason
to hope that really warm weather will
come to stay. Meantime, despite the
fact that we may have short spells oil

A Warm Wave In the Northwest.

New YOrk HerNlu.
A warm wave" has at last been re-
ported In the extreme Northwest. The
maximum Temperatures yesterday
were IN the eighties In the British
Northwest territory and on our adjae.

Though as yet this wave OF warmth
is local and may not spread over o
large area. it 10 noteworthy as one OF
the first indications OF summerliks
temperature. II 1t extends towards
the south and East to-day,a as is likely,
the belated wheat crop will soon look
up considerably and the prospect of
the next harvest will be brighter.
But 1t is too early to anticipate a
continuance OF the high temperature
in any large portion of the country
north OF the fourth parallel.

which he had no control Since then
those causes have all been removed
