slid down the tube. AT midnight it had
fallen to 81. This morning it was at 2S,
and to-day at noon it was at &C. Il is said
IL will keep on dropping toward zero. \

mercury I'm its downward flight.
The cold wave covers the entire northern
and central sections of the country. and
with its extension eastward. it is report
ed that it win be still colder in the interior

If It encounters no further difficulties
the cold wave will probably make plenty
