newspaper whose columns overflow with
advertisements of business men has
more influence in attracting attention

ARE our WINTERS CHANGING.
The Question Is Answered In the Nss.-
tive In the MostbIy weather re-
view.

Cold waves havo been frequent and So
we're in recent yesrs in the south part Of
the United States and the past winter set
In much earlier than usual Not few
people have asked n these facts warrant
the conclusion that our winters are
changing and II We may expect that cold
err winter weather will be the rule In fu'
turs IL will probably CRAFTY these In
quirers to know that the latest number OF
the Monthly Weather Review says that
according to the best judgment Of today
the climate Is not perceptitly changing.
The mean temperatures obtained by the
earliest instrumental observations, that
were made both In this country and
abroad, show no difference from those OF
today that cannot be reasonably account
ed for by the differences in the instru-
nents used and their environment.
1t is known that In Florida at least
four very disastrous freezes have occurred
within this century. and 1t Is believed
that the cold wave Of 1885 which reached
that peninsula was the most severe.
Nearly all the people Of Florida forgot
TINT the state mad, ever been visited by
Jack Frost, for he did BOT come again
until January, 1885, period Of dfty-one
years. The next period OF immunity,
however, was comparatively brief, for
another uipping frost occurred in Decem-
Der, 1894; and within two months OF the
last named date there was second disns-
trous freeze which has been followed BY
the destructive cold wave that killed 30
many Of the fruit trees last winter
One reason why the Impression is gem
eral that the climate Is changing Is be-
cause In, recent times an account or every
severe frost and freeze that occurs In the
south is spread broadcast BY telegraph to
all parts of the country, while In earlier
times no record was kept except OF the
very severe freezes This very lack Of In
formation with regard to the earlier mi.
nor freezes prevents asserting In tho most
positive manner u rule Of climate that ap.
pears to be common to all parts Of the
United States, viz that periods OF grcnt
Refrigeration generally extend over sew
eral years. For instance. In Florida the
great freeze of 1885 WAS preceded by two
severe winters. 1s30-8 and 1879, and
was Immediately followed by q winter OF
more than average severity. 1886. Then,
again, the freeze of 1885 in Florida was
preceded by cold spell In January, 1884,
when the minimum at Jacksonville was
ii degrees below the freezing point and
the temperature fell to 90 degrees at Jack
sonville, In January. 1887 The two
freezes OF the winter of 1s94-95 were pre-
oedsd by a cold wave In 1898, in which
the temperature fell to "a degrees at
Jacksonville. 1t thus seems that cold
years are likely to be followed BY other
cold years separated by one or more warm
years, the cycle OF temperatures extend
Ing over from four to seven years.

of clothing WAS exceedingly limited, but
many were quite as we'll oostumed as

n egroes played on some curious African
tenn toms madeaof hollow logs with skin
heads, beating furious time, accompanied
by others on gourds. All Of the musicians
had wrislsts Of tin boxes filed with peb-
bles which they shook vigorously, keep
ing time the while on their primitive
drums. To the wierdlnoise this orchestra
