Cold Weather

a. Williamsburg, Va, was frozen W.
so that 1t would carry heavy traffic.
In New England a great snow fell and
not a flake of it melted for six weeks.
Long Island Sound was connected with
the mainland and Manhattan and
Staten island were connected by a
great bridge Of ice. Troops crossed on
the ice from New Jersey to Staten Is
land to attack the British soldiers in
camp there. Bayou st John near New
Orleans, was frozen for a considerable
time. The Delaware river was f1ozen
over from the first Of December to
TIC middle of March. During a whole
month the temperature at Philadelphia
did not rise above freezing.
There were a number of cold winters
between 1880 and 1900, especially that
OF 1892, when the Ohio river was
frozen over at Wheeling for 40 days
so that heavy carriages crossed it. and
that of 1896, when both the Ohio and
he MISSISSIPPI We're frozen over to
their confluence. The winter of 1900
was also one of unusual cold, especially
in the south. The deepest snow ever

vannah was s~noWbound for days. Snow
and hail fell the whole day on Jan. 10,
as far south as St. Mary's river, Flor
ida.
Between the years 1911 and 1917
there were several cold winters and a
number of cold In 1912 and
1916 snow and frost occurred in every
month during both summers in all of
the northern states. Corn did not ma
ture and all the fruits and vegetables
were either wholly or partially fail
ures. In Vermont, in 1916, snow fell
in every part of the state on June 3.
and on the highlands and mountains
to a depth of five or six inches. A half
iEch of ice lroze on the standing
waters, and icicles a foot long were
common. In 1920 the Hudson river
was again frozen over between Paulus
Hook and New York, one of the four
times in a century in which such a
spectacle was witnessed.
Another notably cold winter was that
of 1881. The Mississippi froze over to
a point 1870 miles south of the mouth
OF the Ohio, Il circumstance be-
fore knoWn. The liver was covered
with floating ice below Natchez, Miss,
and at New Orleans ice formed that
was strong enough to skate on. h
next striking winter weather the coun-
try encountered occurred in 1885, hich
was the first of the great distinctions
OF the orange owe of Florida. on
IN, st. Johns river the evergreen oaks
shed their leaves and the orange trees
split to the roots, and of course We're

winter of this year most of New Eng
land was covered with snow uninter-
rupted!y from December to May, and
in Washington city there was snow on
the ground for two months. Long Is
land Sound was closed by ice and the
harbor of Boston nearly so. There were
several cold waves during h next few
wears, but these were not general all
over the country.
But it remained for the winter of
1S55-56 to set the nations known rec
ord for cold, although it was not an
abnormal winter along the Canadian
border or in the far SOUTH. Washing
ton had snow for two months and a
half without a break, the Potomac
river was ice-bound for the same

multy is to stop tumult. There is to
be nothing unseemly or suggestive of
tumultuous conditions where Tumulty
stands between the president and per-
turbed democrats demanding office or
justice, or some other White House
soothing syrup
1t is quite homeopathic, quite in the
nature of curing like with like, this
sitting of the tempests in officialdom,
under the new administration, by a
man with such a name as Tumulty.
Never was there so stormy a cognomen
owned by a functionary whose bust
ness it will be to pour the oil of soft
words upon many troubled waters.

CONSOLIDATION

Editor Muscular The %principa
arguments against consolidation have
been that the advocates of the plar
overestimated the future value of tho
land endowment; that it is imprac-
ticable to get 5000 acres; that SC
much has been invested that it is toe
late to reorganize the system; that il
Is not practicable to combine at this
fecting the change.
With regard to the first argument
The Muscular supports u previous
incontrovertible statements. Before
the vote on the consolidation measure
a Muscular staff correspondent. Jan
uary Is, signing himself IS. W. r." de-
nounced the eXaggeration of the school
land values by the advocates of the
Greater University, because they stated
the value of the lands of the higher
institutions at $4,000, 900, and the
school endowment at perhaps $780,
600, 1000. This criticism was supported
by insinuations against the state ad-
ministration just RETIRED The con-
solidation measure having failed in
the senate, n Missou'ian staff CORE
spondent now writes, February 7, Civ
ing the estinat = value of Montana's
educational land endowment at $780,
600, 900.
To say that it is impracticable to
get 5000 acres for a university in a
state that has 4,00O,0 nO or 5000, 900
acres of state land and many millions
more of federal lands, seems curious
to a mere pedagogue; but perhaps has
justification in the minds of those who
think in terms of real estate values
adjacent to the present limits of town.
But even practical men quickly aban-
doned that argument.
To say that 20 years-with an in
vestment of a few thousand dollars in
each place is too late for a reconsider
alton of the foundation of a perpetual
institution is too absurd to justify the
waste of the space of The Muscular.
Equally fatuou was the notion that
the state is too poor to effect an
economy. Find a business man who
would reason the same way about eff
fecting an economy in the operation
of several plants of his own. AS The
Muscular said on Sunday, January S:

length OF time, Chesapeake bay at An
napolis was frozen over for more than
two months, Long Island Sound was
closed to navigation for a full month,
and ice formed in the Mississippi as
far south as Vicks burg. The winter of
1S80-S1 was another remarkable one,
giving Washington its coolest January
on record. There were great SHOWS in
Michigan and other states, wholly
paralyzing railroad traffic for awhile.
The year 1886 will long be remem-
hered by the citrus fruit growers of
Florida. During the early days of
January a cold wave swept eastward
from the Rocky mountains, causing
great loss of life and stock west of
the Mississippi, and damaging the
Florida fruit industry to the extent of
Upward of So. 200, 900. In 1888 the low

the Rocky mountain region.
There were freezing temperatures in
Florida in 1892, 1894, and two or three
other years in the nineties. In Feb
ruary, 1895, more snow fell in Feb
ruary in Florida than in any other
month in the history of the weather
l,;%eau. There was sleighing in Pensa-
cola, and several inches of snow fell
at the ~jetties of the Mississippi. Flor
ida felt the nip of winter again in 1898,
while in 1899 it came with a vengeance.
y he damage Of the Feb. 1913 cold
wave of 1899 amounted to millions in
the southern states.
In 1898 the greatest blizzard on rec
ord hit the Great Falls reri''n C. Mon
tara. The temperature dropped AZ de-
grees in &c minutes. Great herds of
cattle could be heard lowing and
moaning above the wild roar of the
tempest, and the drift of the snow was
SO furious thai a few crevices no
longer than a pencil in the side of a
building were sufficient to fill it with
snow from the floor to the ridge.

TUMULTY-HAPPY NAME!

Officially and beyond question, it is
announced that President-eleCt Will
sons secretary in the White House will
be Joseph Patrick Tumulty, who is
serving him as secretary now, at Tren-
TN. The proved ability of the man
nay be taken for granted. He has
been tested thoroughly, and Governor
Wilson knows him well. And the
name is a JOY.
Where the storms of office-seeking
rage there will Tunulty be in the
midst of them. Where the whirl of
political strife is most furious there
will Tumulty be expected to create the
calm dear to the academic life which
Woodrow Wilson knows So we'll. Tu-

The remarkably open winter that has
prevailed in the eastern half of the
United States, while in the western
section of the country normal winter
weather has prevailed, has caused more
discussion of the weather than there
has been for a long time. Weather eX-
perts admit that there are a world of
things about the weather. they do not
know, and that, without better finan-
cial support, they will not be able to
learn. 1t is generally believed that if
there could be as careful study of the
upper air as there is of the air at the
surface of the earth, many secrets of
the weather would be laid bare, and
~forecasting would be placed on a moro
substantial basis. The weather t
dents believe that kite stations, to reg
lister the condition of the upper air,
ought to be established at certain
points throughout the northern hemis-
phere. and that these might give a
revelation of the little understood laws
of weather conditions.
This is not the first veal hat the
weather has played peculiar FRANKS in
the United States-this season it has
given the east September weather in
January, while in California frost was
invading the citrus fruit fields. There
have been many winters of remarkably
cold weather, sometimes in certain sec
tons, and sometimes all over the Coun-
try. The coolest weather the world
knows has not come from the vicinity
Of the poles, as one might suppose. In
certain parts of Siberia the tempera-
ture has reached as low as 80
degrees below zero, and at Werk-
hoyansk, for a whole month of
January the average was GO de-
grecs below zero Poplar River. Non
tana, seems to have the record in the
United States-63 degrees below zero.
The record of the cold winters in this
country is a long one. some of them
have been so cold hat New orleans
and Jacksonville had ice, and teripera-
lures hat seldom are recorded as far
north as Atlanta. one of the earliest

In New England Snow fell for five
consecutive days, and in Boston it
reached six feet deep and remained for
weeks. The winter of l74O was another

conditions of two centuries. Intense
cold prevailed in Europe as well as in
America. Long Island Sound was
frozen over and people made the jour

Long Island. AS late as April people
rode across the Connecticut river on
horseback.
TIL ewinter of 1765 is the first one
where Florida is known to have had
much of its fruits destroyed. Only the
oranges survived, and this in the face
OF a temperature of six degrees below
freezing on the st. Johns river There
were also cold snaps in Florida in 1868
and 1872.
The year 1850 vies with 1856 for the
record as the coolest winter ever
known in America. Thomas jefferson
reported that the Chesapeake bay was
frozen e solid from it's head to the
mouth of the Potomac. At Annapolis
tie ice was five or six inches thick and
