Word "Slees" Used to
Convey Many Meanings

The word "sleet' has three distinct
meanings in the English-speaking
world, says Nature Magazine. In Eng
land it is nearly always applied to
mixture of snow and rain, and the
same usage prevails to some extent in
this country
Again, a great many Americans. in
Guiding most engineers, have long ap-
piled the name "sleet" to the smooth
coating Of ice, due to rain falling in
cold weather that at times enVelops
the branches wires and other objects
and gives us the beautiful spectacle
of the ice storm" British meteorolo-
gists call this glazed frost" our
weather bureau has coined for it the
name glaze" and on both sides OF
the Atlantic it has sometimes been
known as "silver thaw."
Lastly, the "sleet" of weather bu-
reau usage is widely so called in Amer
lea. and sometimes so called in Great
Britain A few British meteorologlsts
have tentatively styled it ice rain,
but this name has never become estab-
iished.
In view of these facts, it Is safe
forecast that the term So Get is des-
tined to cause meteOrOlogists more
worry in years to come than the term
"cyclone"-which most people stli'
misapply to the tornado-has caused
for many years past.
