Cold April Every 100 Years. ! French meterologists have worked 'out the theory that exceptionally frigid Aprils occur at intervals of exactly 100 years. In April 1803, the gutters were frozen and snow fell in Paris. In April, 1703, the price of wood rose and people died of cold in the streets, while a chronicler of the period writes: "There is snow at Versailles and we are perishing of cold at Paris at a season when the sun ought to be warming us. The north winds afflict af-flict us, bringing us cold from the mountains." Documentary evidence is not needed to prove that April, 1903, is also distinguished by low temperatures.
