Washington and Baltimore Records
Are About Equal.
BUT THERE ARE OTHERS MUCH HOTTER
The Record for Nineteen Years is
Favorable to Washington.
THE COOL NIGHTS HERR

The city of Baltimore has been pluming
itself lately on account of the pretended
discovery of the fact that that city is con-
siderably cooler in the month of June than
Washington. and the Inhabitants of the
monumental city are putting on a good
many airs in the Eotion that their place Is
becoming a veritable summer resort. This
would. of course, be important IL true but
unfortunately for the pride OF the BaItf-
noreans 1t is not true
The matter came most prominently to
general attention through the medium of a
recent letter to the Baltimore Sun from a
local statistician named Hall. who, by
some tugglery of the figures covering the
first twenty-five days of June, managed to
show that Baltimore had. for that period.
an average temperature of 75.1 degrees as
against S2.6 for Washington. Closely fol-
lowing this letter, The Star received a COM
munication from correspondent who
signed the initials "E. P. g." pointing out
the fact that Mr.. Halls figures were er-
ratio and unreliable. as he had evidently
mixed up the maximum with the 8 pm.
temperatures, and he seriously questioned
the reliability of the entire statement that
Baltimore was actually cooler during June
than Washington. In order to settle this
vital point of controversy between the two
cities The Star has investigated the mat
ter at the United States weather bureau.
and has obtained absolutely reliable infor-
nation that goes to show that the June
temperatures Of Washington and Baltimore
are. for the current year, practically the
same. and for the past nineteen years have
averaged exactly the same.
1t would be surprising IL such were not
the case, as the two cities are SO close to-
gether that they are under practically the
same meteorological conditions. Amy such
difference as that indicated by Mr.. Hall,
namely, seven and ore-half degrees. would
be little short of phenomenal. and would
indicate something radically wrong in
either TIE recording Instruments or the
general climatic arrangements of the globe.
The long record. that is to say. the record
running over nineteen years. which Is the
longest period now covered by official sta
tistics shows that the two cities are
markably close together in the point Of
temperature. Washington seems to be
trifle cooler in the winter and shade
cooler in the midst of the heated term. The
average temperature for the year, based
upon the figures for nineteen years past, is
$50 in Baltimore and $50 in Washington,
this city thus having three-tenths of de-
gree less heat recorded at the end of the
year. Mr.. Halls comparisons in the Sun
covered not only Washington and Balti-
more, but New York and Philadelphia.
This is not an absolutely fair test, the
other two cities are in different latitude,
and are therefore subject to different con-
ditions The nineteen-year record for these
four cities by months is as follows:
Evening star., 1895-07-11

Thus 1t will be. seen that Philadelphia is
cooler than Washington, which is cooler
than Baltimore, and that New York. being
the farthest north of all four, is the coolest
of all. better comparison between four
cities would be along the same line of lati-
tude, and for this purpose four better ex-
amples could not be chosen than Washing
ton, Baltimore, Cincinnati and St. Louis
This. of course. carries the line inland, yet
neither Washington nor Baltimore are
coast cities, strictly speaking, and hence
the comparison is not unjust to Cincinnati
or ST. Louis. which la the tables that follow
are shown to be considerably warmer
In calculating the average or mean tenn
perature Of a locality the rule is to take the
maximum and minimum as extremes, and
adding them, divide by two, so as to obtain
the central point of the range for the day.
Thus the average maximum added to the
average minimum for the month and di-
vided into half will give the mean tenn
perature for the month. The following
table gives the minimum and maximum Of
each day for the thirty days of June, 1885,
for each of the four Cities and shows that
in point of GOODNESS they range thus: Bal
timore 74.25: Washington, 74.5: Cincinnati
15S; st. Louis. 1855. The Temperatures are
given in the order of the days from the first
of the month to the thirtieth. The mini
mum temperature is given first, separated
from the maximum by a hyphen.

PLANNING RAPID TRANSIT,
Steps Taken by Residents of the Silve
Spring Region.


Spring Region.
For some time the residents of Silver
Spring, Woodside, Linden and Forest Glen
have felt the need Of additional rapid tram
sit facilities for travel to and from WASH
ington. Practical steps toward the build
ing Of an electric line to connect with the
Brightwood road at North Takoma were
taken by number of interested property
owners at meeting last night in the Ii
brary of the National Park Seminary at
Forest Glen. There were present Benz +.

After considerable discussion of various
routes from the present North Takoma
terminus of the Brghtwood road to Forest
Glen. in which it was developed that most
OF the property owners interested would
grant a right Of way for the road, a COM
mtttee was appointed to investigate the
most feasible route taking into considera-
ton the matters Of expense of construction
and operation, concessions of rights of way
and subscriptions to stock, and report at a
meeting to be held on the oath instant
The committee, consisting of Messrs,
Browning, Cassidy. Harr, Lawrence Childs,
Leighton, Decide, Theodore w. Noyes and

near or through which it Is proposed to
run the road. communication was read
from the officers of the Brightwood road
which evinced a desire to cooperate with
the parties interested and furnish transpor-
tation to and from the city. The country
through which it is proposed to construct
this road is largely owned and occupied by
people engaged in public. or private bus
mess in Washington, and the need of rapid,
frequent, clean and cheap transportation
is now seriously felt by them, and will,
they think, rapidly increase ss the local-

are as follows: Maximum temperatures

Thus 1t will be seen that during the
month OF June just passed while Washing

the nights here were relatively cooler. The
raximum temperatures, of course, repre-
sent the day heats, and the minimum, on
the other hand. are the night records
Thus, while 1t may have been the merest
trifle more warm on some days in Wash
