Sno~storms and Sleet VIII Help In
Making March Weather.

Peter II. Smith predicts the weather for
March rs follows:
March will fall below the averac, of
the month for sunshine. A number of
exciting causes will center at difrcrcn,
dates in the month adding yigor 10 the
meteorology and also prolonging disturbed
conditions. Rain, snowstorms, and slcct
viii show up over much of the country
and in many parts in vigorous way.
March will open with cold, spasmodic
weather, which will bc quiokenod about
the ID, 9TH, and 9th. Then at these dates
areas of rain, sleet, and snow will be
spreading eastward, followed by a very
cold wave much intensified in northern
sections, which may reach the propor-
tions OF blizzard there.
Tho 10Th Is the center of disturbed
period which runs from the sth to tho
18th. The cquinoxial forces will add
vlgor TO the period. Rain, snow, and
wind will prevail in most parts. Wind
anu rain will be morc forceful in many
parts of the south than elsewhere, exoont
In the north, where snow may dominate.
After the passage OF the wave the weather
will he cooler.
The 10th, 10th, and 18th are dates de-
noting storm days. on which rain and
snow hurries will show up in the central
valleys. In southern parts rain and thun-
der will be much more vigorous than else
where. In the north snowstorms may
reach drifting proportions M the north
wind changes 10 the northwest.
From the 10Th TO the 23d denotes n
period OF general storminoss, reaching all
sections in some form of disturbance. A
high temperature and humidity will pre.

duh business, together with the prohibit

causes Of diminution, and it can hardly
