JUNES COOL TEMPERATURE.
Nothing Like 1t Since About Twenty
Years Ago.

AkOs
This is the coolest June since 1878. The
mean temperature fer this monthup 10 anC
including the Goth day was Il degrees.
This is degrees fellow the normal.
The cool weather this June has given
impetus 10 the claims of the old inhabitants
that marked climatic changes are taking
place. Most of these persons hold that
the summers are hotter and the winters
colder than they used to he. They also
mold that spring is later and that the fall
runs far into what used to be winter.
The Weather Bureau, however, has rec
ort!s which show thatthe climatic changes
are impercepuble. A recent report pre-
pared by the Weather DepaI aItment upon
the subject says
mo such chang have ia ken place, To
be perceptible within lifetime, even the
increase of heat would lie so rapid that the
span between the pnendurable cold Of
the past and intblerabe heat of the fr-
ture would limit human existence to few
centuries. The error is most likely due
to the fact that severe winters re rarely
more than three or four years apart, and
that the mpressionable min of childhood
retains the most vivid aud ineffaceable
beholds, and that NTH increa sing age,
ard the adipOse that the more luxurious
living of manhood produces, the systen be-
comes less and less able to Ies'st the dis
comforts of heat and humidity.
.'All things change, and it is probable
that climate is no exception, though sCien-
tific observation has not yet bridged a
sufficient period OF time To detect Il, and
such change, il there be any, is more like
the STORYTELLING OF The seas or the grad
ual extinction of the energy OF the sun
than such rapid accreton of heat as could
be noted within the life OF a man.
Up to June 20 there has been de-
parture of 100 degrees from the normal
temperature for the current year. In
other words, the year, up TO the present
time, has been one degree cooler than
the average year. For the current month
there has been a deficiency OF a little
more than degrees a day. The mean
temperature OF the month, up to the goth,
is 30 Lilo degrees, the maximum 90 de-
grees on the 25th, and the minimum 4S
degrees on the I'd OF the month.
The warinest Juno in the history of the
Weather Bureau occurredin 1892, when the
mean temperature was 20 $40 degrees.
The June Of 1876 was very slightly cooler,
the mean temperature being 75 $40 de-
grees
The lowest mean temperature for June
occurred in 1878 1t was 50 and $40
degrees
The high est SttemperaturP ever recorded for
June occurred on the 9Th, in 1874; the
Goth, in 1898, and the oath in 1894 1t
was 81 degrees on each OF those days The
lowest Junrtcm9eratures sinCet the recording
Of ohSei yatious was Al degrees on the Sth
in 1891, and on the ST aud 7th in 1891
But on each Of these three days the records
show abnormal extremes Of temperature,
aS, for instance. In 1894 the maximum
temperature was 9S degrees
The normal temperature for June during
the past twenty-five years Is rs and 12
degrees, vi ICi, is over three degrees higher
than he mean temperature OF the present
month up TO the 2Gth In other words the
current month has ranged 3 degrees below
the normal
TIL" coolest June in the history of the
bureau was in 1873, with a mean TEN.
Pcrature of 50 and S-1Oth degrees, which
was slightly cooler than the present month
of June
These figures show that the present
month is by no means record-hreaker
IN mean, low, or high temperature.
