Persons who hope to make enough
money by the sale of commodities for
vacation in the summer and enjoy
warm weather in season'sre consider-
ing with sinful” the present unsenson-
ahle conditions. These good people in-
clude fuel dealers, the directors in gas
companies, and such like. and. while
waiting for buyers that do not come.
they are sighing for the winters that
used to lie-winters that took a grip
on things shortly after Thanksgiving
and didn't relax it until well into April.
But alghlng for such winters doesn't
bring them. and, as a matter of fact.
the winters that used to be scam to
have gone out of fashion.
“Nobody ever heard of such weather
hebefore at this season of the year." is a
common remark nowadays. and it may
bring a certain sort of satisfaction to
case but It isn't. The figures which the
observers down at the Weather Bureau
keep on tap. largely for the purpose of
confounding grumblers, show that the
kind of weather we are having now Is
'iuit shout the same kind as we haw
been having bersabouts every Decem-
the lowest mean temperature for Dec-
ember since 1871 was 26.1 degrees. and
that was in 1876. The nest lowest mean
temperature for the month was in 1872
when it was 27.4 degrees. and the next
in 1380. when it was 27.7 degrees. The
avenge mean temperature for thr
month was in 1872, when it was 27.4
was 27.7 degrees. The average mean
temperature for the ten years. from
1881 to 1891. it was 35.3 degrees. and
from 1881 to 18”. it was, 34.6. it will
be seen, therefore. that instead of these
latter-day Decembers being sbtiormslly
warm. they have been a little colder
than they were several years ago.
While these figures show that then
has been nothing abnormal about the
mean temperature of any December for
the past dozen years or so. there are
other figures that show that the min-
imum temperatures of the December-r
of twenty or more years ago. wert
lower than those of recent years. On
December 12. 1872. the minimum tem-
perature was 12 degrees. Yesterday it
was 64. and the highest minimum tem-
perature for the same date. before yes-
terday and since 1872. when the tabu-
latlng of minimum tempera-titres began
was 42 degrees in 1887.1‘k .maimum
yesterday. 59 degrees has an only
one equal for the same date since 1372
and that was in 1873. The mean tern
perature for the present December up
to and including yesterday. the weath~
er 'nen figure was 7 degrees above the
n! :mal. but the remaining days may
en things up.
n one particular. however. the pre-
sent December ls a freak. it is so far
short on rain that. unless there is a
leak in clouds soon. it will pass into
history as a well-nigh ralnlese month
including the rainfall of yesterday. on-
ly 24 inches has fallen here during the
month. The normal rainfall for thiK
month is put down at 1. 28 inches. What
is true of the lack of rain here is slur
true oi all the Middle Atlantic and New
England States. in most of thesr
states the rainfall is below the normal
from two to four inches. and a drought
is on. The elfect of this drought is be-
ing heavily felt throughout New Eng-
land snd the Gulf states are also suf-
fering. Should a prolonged period of
freezing weather fail upon many local-
ities in the Middle and New England
States within a short time. those local-
ities would be threatened with a water
famine.
Warm Decembers hereahouts have
seriously interfered with the sale at
winter dry goods before. but from what
the merchants say the weather of tht
present December has more seriously
interfered with the sale of these goods
than ever before.
Meteorologists have undertaken to
account for the passing of the oldofssh-
loned winter on various hypotheses
They say that there are practically no
more winters in the Middle and South-
ern New England States. because the
forests have disappeared and because
the Gulf Stream has shifted in nearer
