HISTORY OF WEST VIRGINIA
WEATHER BUREAU.
RAINFALL ALSO THE HEAVIEST
EVER RECORDED FOR
JAsUARx.

Those who have declared there has
never been q winter like this one in
point Of tempe ratnre and rainfall have
good ground for their statement, for
the report Of the Chronological ser.
vice Of the weather bureau contains
some interesting facts about the
weather IN West Virginia during the
first month or the year.
The average Temperature was 3s.7
and this WIS not only the highest
average for January In the State since
the founding Of the station in this
State. but was higher than that for
any other winter ,nonfn on record, ,ex.
cept December 1891. The lowest state
mean temperature for January was
ZIG in 1895.
The month WIS unusually warm I'M
TIL the Goth. and The highest tenpera-
lures occurred at most OF the stations
On the Sd and 18th. The State was
covered by d severe cold wave on the
9th and 2Sth, when the mlnimnm
temperatures for the, month were ra.
corded al nearly all the stations. The
record for Wheeling is not given.
The precipitation averaged almost
twice the normal amount, and was tho
heaviest ever recorded In the State for
January IL was also the greatest
average for the State for any winter
month during the last IS years. The
amounts III ia stations averaged s.S7
inches. The greatest amount In any
previous January was $40 in 1895.
The heaviest precipitation occurred in
the northern and central portions OF
The State, especially over the noun.
tain SECTIONS and In Richie county.
The fall over the Pan Handle section,
except in Grant county, averaged on
slightly over the normal. More mod.
crate amounts were also reported
from the extreme southern counties
& One Of the mSst remarkable facts
about the precipitation, is that there
was ratnfall in some sections of the
state ON every day OF the month. The
heaviest rains prevailed over West
Virginia from the 18th to the fstn.
the greatest falling on the first named
date
There was light snow in the north.
ern and central portion of the state
on the 18th and 18Th. and there was
a general snow on the 25th and 2etii.
Concerning foods. the report states
That in the Parlersbrire district, Inc
Chic was above the Hood stage from
The early morning OF January l7th
an'al The early morning of january
sd, and three distinct flood crests
were observed during that space OF
time.

skirt should be some inches shorter
than the regular walking skirt and
should be sufficiently full to be becom-

pfaits which would require the skirt 70
be pressed after each outing. A plain
tailor made Jacket or three quarter
length is the smarter, and the sleeves
should be long, for long gloves are
quite inappropriate for this style Of
dress.

A Zulu Warcry.

The Zulu warcry used, whenever
they take the field, by the South Afri-
can footballers now in London, has
puzzled our newspapers, not one OF
which seems able to spell 1t correctly,
says Notes and Queries. The Daily
Express gives it as "Igamilzho," and
the Daily Mail as "Gammilio." The
cry really consists of two words, and
should be written "Igama layo." "lga-
ma" Is Zulu for name" and "layo"
is a possessive pronoun meaning
either "his" of their" Thus the Daily
Mail. although quite wrong In its Or
biography of the word, is right in say
ing that 1t merely means "That Is his
name" The explanations that Zulu
etiquette does not allow warriors,
when they rush into battle, to men
ton the names Of their enemies, but
the leaders shout out, "That is his
name!" pointing to the victims with
their spears.

Eiu Wine.

Consul Maxwell Blake Of Funchal
advises that some interest has been
aroused in the island Of Madeira as
the result of experiments conducted
by an Italian chemist, Professor Pa
gisci, who declares that the juice OF
the fig under proper treatment can be
converted into a wine Of excellent
taste.
The professor states that Its flavor
is agreeable; that 1t is very rich IN
phosphate matter and almost wholly
destitute of tannic acid, qualities that
render 1t especially nourishing to In
yalids and children. The pulp is said
also to create a new food for milch
COWS and fowls. The fresh fig con
tains only about rs per cent OF sugar
but after 1t has been dried and pre-
pared for the making Of wine 1t yields
so per cent sugar.
