Those who heat with oil and
coal also have found their use Of
those fuels has increased.
Suppliers of heating fuels keep
careful tab on the degree DAYS.
This figure is derived from SUBJ
tracing the mean temperature
for the day from SIS degrees, the
base usually taken because II it
is colder than IS degrees the
householder is going to need
furnace heat. Thus, if the mean
for a day is 40 degrees. the de-
gree days figure for that day is
IS.
Degree Day Figures.
One oil and coal supplier fig
ured that the, degree days total
for last November was 5ST,
against 400 for November, 1858.
The December figure was $50. as
compared with 739 for December,
1858. How much colder it has
been this winter is indicated
therefore, by the fact there were
SO more degree days in Novem-
Der, 1854. than in November,
1858, and lit more in December,
1854, than in December, 1858.
