DOWN TO FL DEGREES.
Yesterdays Freeze the Hardest so
Far This Winter.


Far This Winter.
The mercury went down to q degrees
yesterday morning, the lowest it has been
this year, and within degrees as low as
it was during the February cold spell a
year ago. There was very little damage,
however, as whatever there was to be
injured was caught by the freeze earlier
in the week
Observer Dudley said that the cold would
not extend far south enough to damage
the Florida fruit
The cold was more severe here, how
ever, than was expected it would be. The
wave which moved in over this section
Thursday night was observed over the
western country Wednesday morning, fol-
lowing rapidly in the track of the storm
which then centered over the lakes, and
had caused low temperature throughout
the northwest and Upper Mississippi val
ley and the lake region. Thursday morn
ing the northeastern storm had moved to
the Atlantic coast and the center of the
cold wave had moved to the Missouri
valley. Preceding il marked falls in tenn
perature occurred throughout the country
from Nebraska eastward through Mis-
souri, and Tennessee and thence northeast
ward through the Ohio valley to the Mid
die Atlantic coast, and temperatures from
zero and below were general over Michi-
gan, Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and as
far south as Northern Kentucky, through
Central Illinois, Iowa and the Dakotas.
Information was issued from the wealth
er bureau Thursday afternoon that the
wave was close by and predicting high
winds. The highest velocity was reached
early in the night, thirty-three miles an
hour. The temperature continued falling
during the night, and at yesterday morn
ing the minimum, p degrees, was reached,
which is the coolest noted thus far this
winter. Freezing weather prevailed as
far south as the northern portions OF
Florida, and the Indications pointed to
continued fair and cold in this section
far south as Northern Florida, followed
to-day by fair and warmer.

NO ROOM FOR THE NEW CHEMICAL
1t Was Intended for the Southern
Section of the City.

The new chemical engine, which was
recently purchased from the city of Way
cross, is now ready for service.
The intention Of the commission in pur~
chasing the engine was to place it in the
southern section of the city. There is no
room for 1t, however. in the two en-
CINE houses now in that section, and IL
viii probably be necessary to erect a new
engine house for its accommodation. Ii
is believed that the object of affording al
ditonal protection to the southern resi-
dence section will be better served by Civ
ing il a separate location. The commits
sion has no money in hand, however.
with which to purchase a lot and erect
an engine house, the appropriation for
the year allowing only for the ordinary
running expenses of the department.
1t has been suggested that If the resi-
dents in the southern district will donate
a lot the commission will find the money
with which to erect the engine house.

BOYS AND GOOD ROADS.
General Roy stones Plan for Keeping the
HighMaYs In Repair.

Highways In Repair.
Forty million dollars we spend every
year on road repairs and make the
road no better We roll the great
stone up the mountain with 40,0000OO
days work, and then we let it go to
the bottom to be rolled up again next
year. What is the cure for this state
of things? The trouble itself is moth
ing new. Every thinking farmer
knows it of old and has puzzled his
brain for a remedy.
The daily care of all the roads by
paid laborers would be a tax abso-
lutely unbearable. The travel to and
fro to do the little work required
would cost ten times as much as the
work itself. What, then, can we do?
When you have interested parents
in your district in the subject of road
improvement and taught your schol-
ars methods of carrying it on, why
not take advantage of the fact that
al your roads are travelled twice day
by boys old enough to take the ordi-
nary daily care of them if they have
the means to doit? Why not organize
your own road leagues among the
older boys and persuade your town
ship road authorities to supply each
league with a few light tools to be IL
at the schoO!hOuse and carried home

The Boss Locomotive.

Engine 1916, the monarch of the
whole B. 4 0. tribe, began its career
i'll the passenger service Tuesday
morning, and took train No. to Graf
ton from Cumberland. Its Zine of
duty will be between Cumberland
and Grafton, and its speciality will be
climbing the seventeen-mile grade up
the eastern slope of the Allegheny
mountains on fast time. 1t is splen-
did piece of machinery, and seems to
be perfect in all its appointments.
There are three driving wheels on
each side, siXty-eight inches in diam
eter. The middle wheel has no fanges
consequently it plays over the
face of the rail, and is constantly
hunting for place to hold by while
it goes forward with its enormous
load. The great height of the wheels
lifts the boiler and cab up into the
air, and if the engineer and fireman
have leisure to look about while pass
ing through the towns they can see
what is going on in the second story
Of the houses near the track. 1t is to
be hoped that this magnificent speci-
men of the ''ironhorse" may perform
its appointed trips during a long life
without a mishap.
One of the big freight engines was
in the runaway and smash up short
distance west of Bloomington, on last
Wednesday morning. When it struck
a curve that could not be rounded at
the rate of 80 miles an hour, it pressed
the outer rail away from its fastening
and ran along on the ties for two
hundred yards. The rough roadway
took up the momentum acquired in
the descent and the engine came to a
stop. The engineer and fireman kept
their places and suffered no injury
whatever. This accident demon
strated the fact that a high engine is
no more likely to tOpple over than a
low one.

When Days VIII BE Long.

Do you know that the day, which
isnOw only "A hours long, is slowly in
creasing in length, and that it will
eventually be 25, 26 or even 100 hours
in length? This statement, strange
as it may sound to one who has not
read the results of observation made
on that score, is believed to be true in
every respect.
Not only will the earth's motion
slow up until the day will be one, two
and three times as long as it is at
present, but this pace slackening pro-
cess will increase with time, until the
day will eventually be a week or even
a month in length. The "retarding
medium which the astronomers
speak of as being the cause of this
phenomenon, is not fully understood
at present.
Sir Robert Ball says that it is the
friction of the tides which is response
bic for the most of it. He urges that
the time will come when the day will
be a year in length. Others among
the investigators along this line de
clare that it will be absolutely impos-
sible for this day-lengthening process
to increase beyond one lunar month.

Wanted, Answers.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The Bryan Democrat press claims
that the United States is great enough
to be independent of other CONNER
cial nations using a gold standard.
How does it come then that the fol-
lowers of free silver are in favor Of
free trade?
The Bryan Democrats claim that a
debtor has greater rights than cred
itor. Is it more honorable to be a
debtor than to be a creditor? Would
it be morally right for man to
plunge into debt at the present time,
hoping to pay off his debts with a
fifty-cent dollar? If not, why not?
Are not gold and silver commodi-
ties, the same as other products of
labor? If that is so why should the
Government place & fictitious value
upon the one and not upon all others?
Gold and silver used as money rep
resents a purchasing equivalent that
has actual value within itself. How
is that value determined?
The Bryan Democrats claim that
the mint price fixes the value. If our
government should establish that a
gold dollar should contain One-half as
many grains as it now does what
would be the result? Would our coun-
try gain by such an act? If not, why
not?
If, under free coinage, man should
