EXPERTS SAY
WEATHER SHOWS
LITTLE CHANGE

This is the hottest day we have
ever had or I never saw it rain this
hard" are common remarks and indeed
many people believe that the weather
does vary a great deal from year to
year. This is a false impression, if
we are to believe a recent dispatch
from Washington. An official Of the
weather department there has COM
piled a table taken from records prev
ious to 1872 and from those of the
weather bureau stations at New
Haven, Conn, from 1878 to the pres
ent time. This table shows that there
has been no more than a few degrees
difference in the mean temperatures
of all those years. 1t also shows that
the warmest periods wee Immediately
followed by the coldese ones.
The weather bureau shark says that
the figures which he has compiled in
diate very clearly that since the
time of the Revolutionary War there
has been no permanent change in TEN
pereture.
