Ze-o Weather Over The Uuited States.

Such drop in temperature as was ex-
perienced over the greater portion of the
United States, from the Rocky Mountains
to the Atlantic. and from the Canada
border to the Cult of Mexico, during the.
week ending February 8, has hardly had
parallel since the recording Of weather
changes has become regular system.
Severer weather and heavier snowfalls
have been experienced heretofore in linn
tied sections, but the great area and low
range of temperature of the storm which
had its center in Texas on February 6
was something phenomenal. The tenn
perature was below the freezing point for
nearly three days throughout the entire
United States, except small area on the
southern extremity Of Florida and the
California coast up to about Portland.
And within the lines which marked the
extent of country over which freezing
temperature was being experienced the
mercury dropped to the zero point over
the greater portion. At New York City,
three degrees below zero was expert
enced, and throughout New England the
range from zero to twenty-six degrees
below. 1t was below the zero tempera-
ture also throughout the States of New
York and Pennsylvania, in portions OF
Maryland, Virginia, and the Carolinas,
and in the greater part of Georgia, Ala
bama, and Mississippi, the zero line ex-
tending down into the heart of Texas,
and thence westerly to the Rocky Noun
tains, and including the entire territory
of the Mississippi Valley and around the
great lakes.
In the memorable blizzard of 1888,
much smaller area was affected the storm
being confined mainly to the Middle
Atlantic States, and the temperature did
not fall so low, although there was
much greater snow fall. The snow fall
accompanying the last great cold wave
has varied from few inches in depth,
along the coast, to upward Of two feet at
many points in the interior, and, accom-
panied as it has been by high wind,
reaching a velocity of seventy miles an
hour at Sandy Hook, railroad travel in
all directions has been greatly impeded.
Bnt perhaps the greatest loss attributable
to the cold weather will be that of the
Southern fruit crops. The zero point
has been reached over a largo territory
where q freezing temperature has here
tofDre been but rarely experienced, and
the fruit crops Ct these rnilder climates
cannot but be an almost total loss, it be-
ing reported that the Florida orange crop
and great portion of the trees have been
entirely destroyed.-ScientVic american.

The FOrty's Convention.

The following announcement as to the
Convention, or conference, called by the

doubtless be read with interest:
ssI am authorized by majority of the
Executive Committee of the Forty to
give notice that the date of the confer
snce in Columbia is postponed from
March 9th to March 9Th proximo. The
extreme weather Of the past two weeks
has 30 impeded Communication that more

have been issued proceed without change
of programme. Other Counties may

IS The Age of Steel says that one of the
best evidences of the progress Of the
South is to be found in the increase of
electrical activities" in this section. It
is stated on good authority that not less
than $l00, 100000 has been invested in
electric lights and railways in the South,
the greater part of it within the last three
Cor four years. Onthe first of January,
1891, there were 296 electric power sta
tions in operation in the Southern States
and since that time I66 have been added.
No other part of the country, the Age OF
Steel affirms, has shown such a great
relative advance In the use of electrical
appliances.
