Weather in the u. S.
Puzzles The Scientists

Washington, D. C, Feb. 11.-This
winter viii 20 down in the annals Of
the weather bureau as a wonderful
and inexplicable phenomenon.
The eastern half OF the United
States has been buried under snow
and ice and bitten by 4 degree OF
cold which makes this IN many sec
tons the most severe winter in the
history OF the bureau. while January
easily takes rank as the most severe
month in half 4 century.
The Pacific coast region, mean
while, and 10 a great extent all OF the
country west of the Rockies, has been
having a season OF warmth which
literally brought spring at the end
Of December. IN fact the scientists
say that this unnatural warmth In
the west is a good deal more re-
markable than the cold in the east.
While the ice ponds OF New York
are freezing TO their bottoms so that
il is impossible to harvest the ice:
while eastern rivers are choked and
damned by the piling foes. in the
Pacific coast states. and as Tar east
as the foot of the Rockies. they are
having spring II Is reported from
southern Idaho and eastern Washing
ton and Oregon that the leaf buds
are swelling and about to burst, while
in some sections fruit trees were
about TO bloom at the end Of Decem-
Der. In valleys which have often
been under snow al this time Of the
year young grass is springing.
