A Warm England.

The extremes of outdoor temperature
in England vary more than 1873 degrees
The greatest heat probably on record
was registered in the valley of the
Midway on July 22, 1868, when tho
thermometer at Tonbridge stood in the
shade at l001a degrees II. Eleven years
later, in December, 1879, 90 degrees of
frost were recorded at Blaukadder, in
Berwiokshire-i. O., 23 degrees below
zero +. More remarkable however,
than tho heat in summer were the hot
winters Of 174S and 1857 and the warm
Januarys Of 1877, 1884 and 1898. -
