in previous years Of comets there wa

There was a comet in 1858, ant
Mr.. Hillenmeyer gives the following
graphic picture of conditions at tina
time:
THE early spring of 1858 was made

This description OF the spring OF
1858 could be well applied to the
spring of 1910, In fact, the metero-
logical record Of 1910 seems to be a
repetition of that of 1858. But Mr..
Hillenmeyer tells us something of
conditions in 1882, at which time
there was another comet. Here is
what he says about it.
In 1882, March was rather wet, but
April was absolutely perfect. Eight
light showers fell so that plows, har
rows. seederss and sewers never lost
an hour, and the farm goose hung
high In May rain fell on sixteen
days to a depth of over eleven inches. |
