A COMPARISON OF GOODNESS

Since 1907 There Have Been Some Very
severe Winters in the United states
The weather this morning was the cold
est known in this city for Is years. There
is great deal of significance in this
statement. To many fortunate people
the clear, bracing atmosphere meant in
creased enjoyment of life. To others
who are acquainted with privation, il
brought added suffering.
An old record, which dates back to 1907.
shows that the mercury has frequently re-
manned below zero in this vicinity for
weeks at a time. In May of that year
there was snowstorm on Long island.
Chesapeake bay was partly frozen over in
l64l, and in the winter of 1865 navigation
on the Delaware river was prevented by
ice. 1t Is related that Feb. z, 1855, an OK
was roasted on the ice in the middle of
the Schuylkill river, opposite Philadel-
phia. To go back, however, we find a
record which shows that snow fell to n
depth of six feet in Boston Feb. 20, p and
%, I'LL. For nearly a century afterward
this fall of snow was famed as the gre atest
that was ever known on this continent.
Roads were impossible and communities
were isolated for weeks.
The winter of 1850 was remarkably cold.
AT Hartford on Jan. % the mercury went
TO 20 degrees below zero. During the last
decade OF the 18th century cold winters
were the rule. Perhaps there were never
any other 10 years in which the winters
were so uniformly severe. The present
century's first decade were also marked
by rigorous winters. There was frost az
late as June 10, 1893, and on May 3, 1903.
there was n heavy snowfall. The winter
1896 was very cold. In the vicinity of
Boston during December, January and
FEBRUARY the mercury went below
zero on 70 days. In some interior New Eng
land places sleighing continued until May
and even in Washington il lasted from
January TO the middle of March, some
thing heretofore unknown. During that
winter Long Island sound was closed by
ice. There was another severe winter in
1ei2A3. Snow was 10 inches deem in
Georgia. In 1851 the East river was frozen
over for three days and teams crossed on
the ice. In 1856 Long island sound was
closed from Jan. 25 to Feb. p and navipa-
ton on the Hudson did not open until
April 10.
There have been some cold winters
since 1876, but the present purpose is to
recall the severe weather of long ago
rather than that of moro recent days.
This season is not without a parallel. as
we have stated, but it has been marked
by more than usual rigor. Ii may have
greater seventies in store, as we are vet
in the early part of February. and records
seem To Indicate that the coolest weather
OF the coolest winters has occurred in

OTTAWA, Ont, June 15.-The an.
nouncement of Premier Greenway OF
Manitoba regarding the school ques-
ton is not looked upon here as the
final answer of Manitoba to the sug-
gestion sent by the encouragement
in council to Winnipeg. couple OF
months ago. It is aiken to mean that
for the present the premier does not
see his way clear to take action.
Sta1wart Orangemen and ultra Cath

Greenway's answer, but the under
current of feeling, so far as Ontario
members are concerned, whether they
be liberals or conservatives, is one OF
professed disappointment that this
troublesome question is again within
the arena of federal politics. 1t is un-
