PRODU for all kinds of Cash Yorkl New Orleans and Charleston, perhaps, present the most extraordinary figures official, too, being those taken at the Ignal stations. On the 11th of January the official thermometer at New Orleans registered 82 deg. in the shade, and for thirty-fou- r days it has only once or 70 deg. at noon. In below been twice November there were a few pleasantly cool days, but since the 1st of December every day has been hot and dry. The hottest winter previously known averaged seven degrees cooler, and the average is much cooler than that.

From the Black Hills to the month of the Rio Grande and from longitude 98 deg., or thereabouts, to an unknown western line, was once the Great American Desert." Settlement and irrigation have wonderfully changed its character. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that millions of acres have been covered with timber since I860. Within the memory of men still living the buffalo grass clothed the western bluffs of the Missouri. Then the dry winds swept over the plains without hindranoe. Now artificial groves, ponds, fountains, plowed fields and irrigating ditches and reservoirs create clouds. A new storm center has been made by the hand of man. In demonstration Sergt. Dunn says that a New Yorker who, within a year or two, has invested thousands of dollars in an irrigation company in Colorado recently called on him to tell the story of his ill lock. After the ditches of the company had been dug at great expense and the water had been turned on, the company began to look for customers to buy their water. But the construction of the great: irrigation system itself brought on a natural rainfall, which has continued at intervals ever since. The irrigation company has conferred a great boon upon the neighborhood, but it receives only thanks for its pay. The annexed map illustrates the wonderful change in the once far west and arid belt. Of caurae the sergeants theory is not now capable of proof, but the fact of a very great change in the climate of the far west is notorious. When the Mormons located in Salt Lake valley it was rare for a drop of rain to fall between May and October; now there is rarely a month without rain, and in midsummer there are often heavy storms with violent electrical phenomena. The storms produced in the new western laboratory, adds the sergeant, while not of great extent and duration, are, most of them, of unusual violence. They travel with marvelous rapidity, with a speed, in fact, that is almost unprecedented. Several the present season have swept across the country to the sea in from hours. Every to forty-eigthirty-si- x one of them has passed far enough north of New York to be without local effect, except in causing brisk southeast to southwest winds.. Much damage and loss of life on the great lakes would have been caused if the navigation season had not closed. The last of these, the great storm of Jan. 13, originated in the very center of the irrigated region, swept eastward over Kansas, and then northeast and down the St Lawrence. Gen. Greely, chief of the signal service, does not believe the change is permanent He impartially rejects all the theories offered, and says, very truly at any rate very safely that scientific men have as yet no data sufficient to explain such tremendous changes. There is in the popular miud a tendency to believe that the unusual has never happened before, or that it has never been bo marked, while, in fact, warm winters have occurred at irregular intervals through all recorded time. It is certain that storms are going east this winter along a line two or three hundred miles north of the usual one, and that a northward suck" Is thereby created of warm ocean winds; but beyond proving the fact the chief declines to be responsible for the weather. It isn't too late yet, however. Some of the coldest snaps" the country ever suffered have come in February; but unfortunately they are, as a rule, very brief, and the result is only sleet and snow. So where is our iee to come from next summer?

For three and a quarter months the total rainfall has been but a fraction over three inches, or a foot less than common; the city cisterns are generally dry, and the people are using river water. By way of consolation, it is added that the ice factories of the city are producing ice at the rate of 5,000 tons a month, and can, if needed, produce 800 tons a day, at a cost of $6 ton. In Charleston the mean temperature for December was 60 deg. and the rainfall less than a third of an inch. If the people were not afraid of late frosts, they would agree to supply northern markets with early vegetables ten weeks ahead of the usual time; and if the present weather continues cotton could be picked in May instead of October. At Syracuse, N. Y., garden roses have developed and several sorts of shrubs have formed leaf, while the air has been warmer generally than in any winter since 1829. In all New England, save a thin skin on a few of the most northern lakes, there is no ice, while on the eastern end of Long Island, which gets the warm wave at its strongest, dandelions are in full bloom where the earth is ordinarily hidden by snow. Explanations abound. But they do not explain. It is, of course, known that the winter storms from west to east, are moving across the or continent in a track from 300 to 500 miles north of the usual line, and that, as the storm center creates a suction drawing side winds towards it, this operates to bring up warm winds from the south; hut why do the storms go so much st, The ONLY Tanseontlnental Line Passing Directly Through The first explanation offered was the now familiar one, the maximum(or minimum) of sun spots. But that is completely demolished by the records for many years showing no connection between sun spots and warm or cold : winters. An explanation just fanciful enough to make it popular was that of the Gulf Stream; many captains contend that it is gradually draw ing nearer the Atlantic coast, and therefore giving us warm and foggy weather, quite English, you knaw." There are three conclusive answers to that. First, the matter is not so; the Gulf Stream sways as moved upon by winds and other currents, but its central line is of Have just opened up, in Payson, with a well selected stock it was when first lowhere just cated in the charts.
