April the month Of showers and ordi-
narily the precursor of flowers was warm
mt the opening, but as it advanced there
was a decided. change. The air became
cool and then cold until by the first of
May winter temperature prevailed while
there was plenty of snow and ice. Buds
were frozen and killed, ice formed on
rivers and ponds, corn was ruined, fields
planted again and again until the season
was too far advanced 10 give any hope of
raising crop. BY the end of May, usually
the trees are in full leaf and birds and
flowers arc in abundance, but at the end
of May, 1916 everything in garden, field aud
orchard had been killed by the cold. Nor
was there my. change for the better in
June the month of roses. According to the
diary IL was the coldest June every expcr-
fenced in this latitude. Ice and frost were
as common as buttercups generally are
Up in Vermont snow fell TO the depth OF
ten inches on the level. There were heavy
falls of snow in all of the New England
states as well as in New York and the
moderately warm days were very few in
number.

People waited and longed for warm
weather, but it never came during that
unusual year. Moreover very little rain
fell, while the wind blew steadily from the
north with blasts laden with snow and
ice. On the Fourth of July ice as thick
as window glass formed ON the lakes and
ponds throughout New England But the
people still hoped that August would
bring relief from this unprecedented case
of winter lingering i'm the lap of summer
but they Were again doomed To disap-
pointment In fact August is said To
have proved the worst month of all.
Almost every green thing that still sur
vivcd was blasted and this was not only
the case in this country but i'm Europe. for
II Is related that at Barnet, thirty miles
from London snow fell on the Both Of
August. As may be surmscd very little
corn rircned in New England and there
was great suffering in consequence.

made TO encourage their work The for
mer method was To add a variety of
chemical substances 10 the sewage. and
thus precipitate certain constituents,
which, i'm the course of subsistence, carried
with them all suspended bodies, leaving
an effluent partially if not completely
stcrilized and sufficiently inoffensivc TO
permit of it's being discharged, either with
or without further filtration, into some
convenient watercourse. The success of
these measures, however, was only partial,
for when the effluent reached the larger
body of water the diIution was so great
that the antiseptio properties of the added
chemicals were neutralized and putre-
faction commenced, rendering the water
course offensive and dangerous to health
