"Farmer" Dunn, tha ramooa Wsather Bbarp, Discusset .th Question, 1 ' HE ANSWERS IN THE AFFIRMATIVE Leela Skar DeCaltleaia Ikat Formerly rkaraeterlaed Thraa .Reeer4le fw Tklrty Years Ceseare4. S v ' ' t Whether or not a change Is taking place la our climate I question of widespread and Increasing Interest. This Is especlsUy true la the t'nlted 6tatee. a countrv of vast extent, obliged to maintain constant Jntr-communlcai'.ou and dependent largely upon the weather as to the auoceeaful out come ef commercial sad Industrial enter prises. , To answer, the question offhand would be to dWpUy a degree of Ignorance nbecom log tkot who should be cspable of giving as opinion. It Is true, nevertheless, that there ia a growing belief that clitnatlo change Is going en. Those ha. bold this view draw ccnclurion mostly from their memories of pant seasons; many, have been convineed of change through increased or diminished bualneaa Intereata. The 'records kept by the government do not cover a period of sufficient duration to permit the drawings of a conclusive opin ion. This wuld require records lasting s hundred years or nrare. Some among those Interested have unearthed old records kept In the days of our grandfathers and great grandfather. In a few instance their rec ords go back mere than two centurUa and form a part of hiatory. And, although, Inter mittent In moat casus and mad la widely sepsrated localltlea, these records must be considered fairly authentic. For.no reason can be Imagined why the colonial tathers should ' bar made false statementa: la fact. they could have bad no Idea that their entries were to be utilised for purpoee of eompsrisoa long years after the obaerver had passed awsy. A curious feature ef these old weather records ts this: They generally refer solely to the extreme, coldness of the winters, which began usually la November and lasted until late In March, wltk snow covering the ground during the entire' period. Hardly a mention ts made of extreme heat, or any unusual condition pertaining to the summer months- . OI4 Cycles ef Weather. Mention la found la the ancient records the earliest dating back to 1607-!of cycles of sever cold lasting several winters, and, again. Intermittent cycles of mild weather, and it ia noteworthy hat the cold la most esse exceeded that prevailing In th same section of country during recent years. Tor instance, the winter of 177J-S0. to which tber was latenae and uninterrupted cold from the latter part of November till the middle of March, with snow covsring tn ground nearly fou feet deep for three con secutive months. Long Island sound waa frosea solid, as well as the Eaat and North rlvera; traffic was carried on over the Ice between New Jersey and States Island. Troepa marched from Nsw Jersey to States Island tn the Ice, There I a record of a sever snowstorm tn Msy, 107, extending over Long Island. In 170-41. tbs wintsr wss extremely se vere. Long Islsnd Sound wss rrossa over, as It waa again In 177S-B0, and la tha latter winter Chetapeako Bay was also froxea from It head to the mouth of the Potomac. Ia 17(1-4, the Delaware river was frosen solid. On February 7. 18(5. an os roast took place on the Schuylkill river. Jn 1784, there is a record In th .vicinity of New York City, ss follows; February 10, 1 degrees below tero: February II, 12 de grees below; February 12, 11 below; Febru ary 12, U below; February' 14, 20 below; February 1, If below; February 17, 17 be low. Yet la the past thirty ysars th low eat temperature recorded bear- New York wa degree below, la 1735-S th Bosque- haana river closed on December 6th, and th Delaware on December 26th. Th winter of 1881-22 waa on of great severity throughout all the Atlantic and gulf state; tn many places la Georgls, Tennessee and Alabama th temperature fell to considerably below sero; at Hunts vllle, Ala., It reached degree below. Ia 1834-26 was another winter of ex treme cold In th aame districts, as was also the winter of 1855-SS. when sksting was enjoyed In southern Alsbema. Rec 6rds mads through a long aeries of years might be quoted In which extreme cold baa been recorded beyond question exceed ing th lowest temperature of th is me place In the laat thirty years. Prwecat tibservattewa. But these- figure do not answer th questions: "Has there beea any cbang?" U'l a Chang taking place at present?" Those wke believe that climatic change baa taken place and la still going on hold divers opinions a to th cause thereof. Bom attribute It largely to th cutting of th forest and th. extensive drainage ef the soil that come through, cultivation. Other hold that the polar ice la leaving the poles and drifting Into th waters c the middle latitudes. ' Other tifat th great volum of artificial heat generated In the larger eitlee has a tsndeney to moderst th cold. But th theory having the strong est hold and which U stesdfastly persisted In, is that the Gulf stream haa changed Its course and ts ruhniog closer to the shores of North America; Its warmth being felt over the land. In support of this notion it Is held that the Gulf stream warms ths British Isles and that without ita Influence" they would be as cold as Greenland. It Is true that the Gulf stream washes the shore of the British Isles, but doe not justify th assertion that the climate of England, being milder than that of New York, although at a more northern latitude 1 -made so by th wsters of the Gulf stresm. Ia fact this whole Gulf stresm theory Is wrong. Even If the Gulf stream bad changsd ita courts and were running cloaer to our shore than ever before (which is not th esse), this would not to th least solve the problem, for the principal reason that all weather conditions and tbs prevail ing winds travel with the rotation of th earth from west to esst. Any change of temperature, due to that . stream, then, would be carried to the eaatward and Its effect lost over the United Slates. Blewdlac vf Seasoae. Furthermore, th scientists ssy that by th tlm th Gulf stresm reaches the vi cinity of New Foundlaad the depth and vol ume of heated water is' ao'looger sufficient to produce any material change on the cli mate. Th atream exerts an Influence on the temperature of the Immediate overly ing air, which la very noticeable In creas ing, but that modification Is lost at a dis tance of a few miles on either aid of th stream. Th general theories of climatic effects srs thus disposed of, so that nothing but th old record ar left. And while they are Interesting, they ar neither complete nor accural enough to Justify th belief which teem to be o general. A to th records of the laat thirty years, they show fluctua tion that 'torn winter hav beea much hotter, but In figuring out the amount of heat and cold received at each place, It ia found, that' on Just about counterbslancea tb other, th annual average temperature being confined to a very narrow limit, some years varying therefrom not mor , thsa four degrees. However, from a careful In vestigation and yeara of atudy given to this particular subject. I am fully Justified la asserting that while the average of beat and cold remains practically tha same, a certain change of climate 1 actually taking place, In that th seaaons ar blending one Into tb other mor la the later year than la th past, so that It la now most difficult to tell where on leave off or th' other begins; whereas la former year tb outline of the seasons were far mor sbsrply de Ilntd.
