GERMAN WINTERS ARE NOT

Berlin, Feb. 7.-The snowfall which
covered Berlin to the depth of Is
inches last month and the cold snap
which followed discouraged the pop
ular idea that German winters were
gradually growing milder. The Me.
neurological Office has also establish
ed that the idea Of milder winters
is false. Records going back for 200
years show that the average mean
temperature and snowfall Of the three
winter months in Berlin have. not
changed appreciably in those two cen
turies. The extreme temperatures for
the 60 years from 1850 to 1910 shows
a difference of only fraction Of one
