 A recent cable dispatch from Paris
 attributes to Charles TeIlier a Frenchman, the invention of the cold storage process While it is true that
 Tellier perfected the system, and made it commercially practicable, he had number of forerunners in the
 industry Fifty years ago today the first refrigerated meat arrived in Eng land The scheme was fairly success full in preserving meats for shipping short distances. Ten years later a shipment of careasses frozen by liar rison's method was sent to England from Melbourne, but the meat was found to be spoiled.A At this time Tellier was working on his method of freezing foodstuffs by the use of two chemicals, methylic ether and trirne- thylamine. In 1876 he built the re frigerator ship La Frigorifque, which carried a cargo of frozen beef be- tween Rouen, France and La Plata
 That first consignment was the begin ming of what has developed into a worldwide industry. By 1877 there was a great influx into London of American meat preserved by cold Tn 1878 Bell and Coleman patented a re- frigerating process which included further Improvements.

 A falling barometer, followed by rain and snow, twenty-five years ago today, marked the beginning of the terrible storm which has since been known as 'sThe Blizzard .. The en- tire North Atlantic coast from Ba1t1- more to New Brunswick felt the ef- fects of the storm, but it's greatest fury was visited on New York, New Jersey, Pennsy1vania and Connecticut Doubtless there have been worse DIiz- zards in the western parts of the Uni ted States and Canada, but nothing to compare with it has ever been known in the eastern centers of po2- uIation.
 The Blizzar ard was asnered in with rain. wlfoh changed to q snow fall accompanied by 4eavy gale. on. March H.. 1883 On. the morning es the 18th, the real ..b1izzard day.. heavy snow was falling. with a sv5na that reached q velocity Of szi1ty el15le.s an hour. At noon taeenosg eeass1 but the gale Elew it into imp.i,sat Ic drifts. and continued to do 50 dur1ns the 18th. Railroads were bIoek ed, anu several days passed before travel could be resumed, and on some roads trains were stopped for a week Tel egraDh wires were down in every d. rection and news between Boston and New York had to be cabled to Lon don and back again Forty-four inch- es of snow fell, but the drifts were from six to forty feet in depth.
 The worst effects of the storm were felt in New York and Brooklyn. Street car traffic was stopped. fac tories and stores had to close, and business was generally suspended. Newspapers were printed, but could not be circulated. Many people died in snowdrifts, including a reporter named Reilly, who had volunteered to go out an assignment The famous statesman, Roscoe Conkling. was ov- ercome in drift and died from the effects of the exposure. Roofs of many buildings caved in beneath the weight of the snow New Haven also suffered severely, and it was not until the 18th that the first train reached that city from New York, while the city was cut off from telegraphic communication for eight days
