New Enuland Pie.

Some poor dweller in the benight-
ed beyond of Chicago asks what real
New England pie is like. 1t probably
will not help him to be told, but If
he means apple, 1t is like an essay by
Emerson liqueiied with the music of
Massenet and spiced with the cyni-
cism of Shaw; If he means pumpkin,
1t Is like some of Gounod's music
heard in landscape all sun and flow
ers. 1t is too early yet to describe
the mince pies of 1909, but last years
and last year was not an extraor-
binary good year-were like an in
crease in salary, and present from
home arriving on the day when ones
conscience was behaving itself.-Bos-

WEATHER BUREAU IN DENVER
SAYS THIS SEASON HAS BRO
KEN ALL RECORDS
NAM0UNT OF RAINFALL
BUT STATEMENT DOES NOT IN
cLuDE FIGURES FOR ALL
PARTS OF THE STATE

Denver.-This has been the westest
year Colorado has experienced since
the United States Weather Bureau
was established here, 81 years ago.
The snowstorm of Friday brought the
total precipitation for 1909 up to
21.44 inches. Just one-hundredth OF an
inch more than the precipitation in
1891. which was 21.43 inches. This
record may be broken by over an inch.
as there is still month and u half
Of the year left.
Years In which the precipitation II
anything like as great as in the pres
ent year are extremely rare in this
state, the average precipitation being
only 14.01 inches. The only other
years which in any way approach the
two record-breaking years in amount
of precipitation are 1876. with 20.12
inches. and 1888, 19.49 inches.
The driest year on record is 1898, In
which the precipitation was only s.4s
inches. Other exceptionally dry years
are 1890 and 1900, with 9.33 inches
each, 1905. with $50 inches, 1883,
with 9.51 inches. and 1880. with 9.5s
Inches.
Last year, although the preclpita-
ton was nearly six inches less than
the record already made this year. was
wetter than the average year. the pre-
cipitation being 1892 inches. An ex-
tremely dry year was 1907. the precip-
ltation being only 11.S3 inches.
The cause of the great difference In
the amount Of precipitation in this
state, according to the officials at the
local weather bureau, is the varying
location OF the great storm center in
the Pacific ocean, known as the Pacific
low. If, as in 1907, It lies to the north
ward. the storms that sweep across
the country pass with their southern.
or dry, side to Colorado. and the pre-
cipitation is very light. This year the
Pacific low has been located far to
the south and the storms have passed
to the south. with their north. or wet.
side to Colorado. hence the great pre-
cipitation.

thing of general interest is that the
orchestra Is entirely independent Of
any other organization. About ave
hundred invitations have been issued
for Sundays affair. All those holding
associate membership tickets will also
be admitted.
Next season the orchestra will re.
