((~ I'D you ever see such pc
culiar weather. And for
this time of the yearl"
Thus we exclaim when
the weather man plays us tricks IN
dlshing out to us the only brand of
weather he has on hand. If he show
ers us with too much rain, we call 1t
abnormal. If he shuts off the rain
and the earth begins to dry up, we
call that abnormal. If he gives us too
much heat or too much cold, these
again are abnormal What, he de-
mands of us, do we call normal?
Average weather, like the average
man, is useful conception for sta
tistical purposes-nothing more, ac-
cording to Charles Fitzhugh Talman
of the United States weather bureau.
at Is rarely met with as reality. In
deed, he says, periods in which the
temperature, rainfall, humidity, cloud
iness, etc., conform very closely to
the average of long record for the
corresponding time of year are so I'M
usual that when they occur they de-
serve place in the news Of the day.
Lately we have been having unusual
weather-as usual, Mr.. Talman OBJ
serves in the New York Times. The
elements have been conducting them
selves with normal abnormality, he
continues, and the customary com
ments and explanations have been
vouchsafed on the subject. But, we
may take this weather mans word for
1t, this situation reveals nothing out of
the ordinary.
The paradox that exceptional wealth
er in our ATTITUDES is the rule rather
than the exception is easily explained.
Changeableness, he says, is the most
pronounced characteristic Of the at
mospheric conditions in the misnamed
temperate zone, and the fluctuations
that occur have a wide range on
either side Of the so-called climatic
''normals," which are the averages
computed from observations over a
long period of time.
Mr.. Talman admits, however, that,
In addition to normal weather, which
rs uncommon, and moderately abnor-
NAL weather, which prevails most Of
the time, there is third type of
weather which departs so far from
the average that even after the lapse
of years it's vagaries are remembered
as something extraordinary.
Writing Of the year 1890 in Eng
land, Matthew Of Westminster says
<'In the summer of this year great and
enormous prodigies were seen in the
air, so that some said that the last
Judgment was close at hand There
was now an intolerable famine, and
such excessive and uninterrupted
thunderstorms that scarcely any one
dared to go out of his house, and
tmany people were killed, and the light
ming destroyed houses and fields of
corn and woods. and inflicted unheard
of dangers on the country. Also there
were such hailstorms that the stones
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1926-12-02

were not only like peas but of the
thickness of three fingers, and in some
places as thick as fifteen fingers"
The Fourteenth century appears to
have been period of extreme climatic
conditions In Europe. During the cold
winters of that century, according to
0. Peterson, the Rhine, Danube, Pc
and other great rivers were frozen for
weeks and months together, and In
fifty-five Of the succeeding summers
serious floods occurred. In 1912 and
1874 the Rhine was so high at Cologne
that boats passed ovsr the city walls.
In some summers, however, severe
droughts prevailed. The "hot summer
of 1857" was talked Of for centuries
after.
One of the most memorable exam
pies of queer weather in all history
was the dry fog" that prevailed In
both Europe and America during the
summer Of 1888. A well-known de-
scription of it is that given by Gilbert
White In his Natural History of Sell
borne" He writes:
"The summer Of 1888 was an amaz-
ing and portentous one, and full of
horrible phenomena; for, besides the
alarming meteors and tremendous
thunderstorms that affrighted and dis
tressed the different counties of this
kingdom, the peculiar haze, or smoky
fog, that prevailed for many weeks In
this island, and In every part of Eu-
rope, and even beyond its limits, was
most extraordinary appearance, I'M
like anything known within the MEM
DRY of man. The sun, at
noon, looked as blank as a clouded
moon, and shed rust-colored fer
ruginous light on the ground and
floors of rooms, but was particularly
lurid and blood-colored at rising and
setting.
One of BENJAMIN Franklin's scien-
tific disQuisitions relates to this event.
He says:
During several of the summer
months of the year 1888, when the
effects of the suns rays to heat the
earth In these northern regions should
nave UcCA Lie SlCdlCSl, tiitIt EAlSltQ
a constant fog over all Europe and a
great part of North America. This
fog was of a permanent nature; it
was dry, and the rays of the sun
seemed to have little effect toward
dissipating 1t, as they easily do
moist fog arising from water. They
We're indeed rendered so faint In pass
Ing through it that, when collected in
the focus Of burning glass, they
would scarcely kindle brown paper"
Some specimens of weather are
anomalous merely on account Of their
extreme character, while In other
cases the remarkable feature is the
place or time Of occurrence. Prob
ably the majority of atmospheric
events that are popularity classified as
freak" weather are those that occur
out of season, or In region where
they are rarely experienced. For ex-
ample, the memorable cold wave that

In cold weather there should always
be hot course either soup or hot
entree with cold meat, potato chips,
pickles, rolls, jelly and a dessert. One
may serve fruit cup, sliced smoked
tongue, scalloped potatoes, rolls, Jelly.
olives and dessert. For hot dishes,
baked beans, macaroni and cheese,
celery cooked and served with cheese
sauce, candied sweet potatoes-any
one goes nicely with sliced cold meat,
tongue or meat loaf or with hot frank
furters. If the meal starts with
cupfu Of good broth heavy nourish-
ing salad will take the place Of meat,
then follow with dessert. The follow
ing are few quantity recipes which
will assist in preparing a menu for
several:
California Salad Dressinu.-Take
three-fourths of cupful Of orange
juice, one-fourth cupftIl of lemon
juice, one-haIf teaspoonful Of salt, one
cupful Of sugar, three eggs and two
cupfuls Of cream. Heat the fruit
juices, add salt and sugar and eggs
lightly beaten. stirring and cooking
In double boiler When thick. cool.
and just before serving add the cream
whipped until stiff. This recipe makes
one quart of dressing.
Sunflower SaIad.-Peel eighteen or.
anges and separate into sections.
Stone fifty dates and chop with one
half cupful Of nut meats. Arrange the
orange sections petalwise on lettuce,
using three heads ordinary size; place
a bail of the date mixture In the cen
ter of each flower. Use the mayon-
naise or any desired salad dressing.
This amount serves twenty-five.
Fruit Salad.-Take eight oranges,
six bananas, three apples and one can
Of pineapple. Cut and mix as usual
with the above dressing. Serves TWEEN
ty-five.
Cottage cheese and pear, pear and
tomato. stuffed dates with cottage
cheese, canned pineapple and pear, all
make delicious salads.
A nodded vegetable or meat salad Is
always welcome and when nodded al
ways looks well and serves easily and
