THE DODGE CITY TIMES.
DODGE CITY. SATURDAY. JAN. 29.
OUR COLD WINTER-'.
The unu-uial eveiity tf the present wirier
naturally r cilpi ihe remuk.blv coM .ictets
ot the pist. fctitiiiira ehow ihit thin setson
baa been e:eiilr crowing milder for tnanv
je ire. There ieem to Us no euch wiritei bow
as there were seventy or eighty yean ego,
owior, 00 doubt, to the cutting down in It. is
CDiin ry of the native forrerts, the Uaiinc
and groath o( towcs nil cltie, and the
general development of the land. Dating
the -teven:een'h and eichtwnth ctntorie,
there were in the Old World same wintfta
bitterly memorable. In Britain, in 1664, the
Thames was froz-n 1 the depth of aixly-one
incho, and netrly all the bitch in the
United Kingdom petUhed. In 1692, the
cold wia as inlenw in Southern Europe, es
pecially in Anuria, that wolves were driffn
by hunger into V.enna, where ihey attacked
beaa'a of Lurden and even human being!
Tbrte years later many peron were frozen
to d.a'b in various patt of Germany. The
Cjld VVin'er, a it wai called ( r di-tinction,
occurrel in 1709. when all the lifers an. I
lake in Europe were ompactly frozen, and
eren ihe ea Kver.il miles from abore,
and the ear.h ifelt from stven to tight feet
deep. Biria and lwt"t fell dead, and thou
ranJs of men, women and children periahed
in tb-ir bout-. In Southern France ear'y
all (he vineyards were detir.yed, and hare
net yet recovered from the disaster. The
Adiiitic wa frozen, and much of the Medi
terranean in the neighborhood of Gtnoa and
Leghorn, and tie lemon and ntg groves
Wire hi ghtedin mny parts of Italy. During
1 ''1G person crossed the atrai s from Copec
bazei to the Province of Seiia (Luden) on
the ice, and horeea and wagon lilewire.
Bnow lay ten feet deep in Spa'n and Portu-
g I durinz 1740, the Z lyder Zee waa covered
with ke thick enough to bear a multitude of
people, and four year af r enow measured
on a level twenty-three ftet in Portugil. In
1771 'he E be wm frcz'n to the bottoii, and
in 1776 the Danube ahowe I ice below Vienna
uhl to ten fret thick. Tre winter of 1779
0 waa very revere in thi country. The
Li ter cold begun in tt e miJdle of Novem
ber and continued until tle'ile of Febru
ary. The run's rays were rot warm enough
tomtit the anow, which lay on the ground
almost five months, a thick that it waa very
bard to get from plice to phce. All ordin
ary bodies of water wereicr-bound. Douiee
tic low 1 4 and wild turkeys pershed ly thou
and, eo did deer and buffalo, and wolves
acd panthers, mainly from their lackef
aatural food, buried under the snow. Tee
Northern acd We-tern rivers were fettered
by the frost, and the Cumberland was ro
firmly Irczen. as far south as Nashville, that
emigrant train pisstd securely over the
livt r. The Delaware opposite Philadelphia
contained ice of three or lot'r feet, and Ion;
Is'anJ Sound and the Cbeapeake were fro
zen over. Scientific" peiains hare declared
that hot and cold waei often recur eve-y
eleven years, as in 18-16, 1857 and 186S, and
the weather-wise predict that this will prove
to be one of the coldest winters known for
twenty years. K. Y. Times.
a
A Dakota man describee a "blizzard" as
"a gale of wind filled with snow and icy
particles as fine as rice powder, with a tem
perature of twenty degrees below zero. A
genuine blizzird is as fierce that you can
neither face it nor distinguish object ten feet
away from you. In Dakott and Minnesota
during the prevalence of a blizzard, farmers
only venture out of their hou'es with guid
ing ropes around their person to enable
them to find their way bick." And fill
there are people who recommend Dakota as
a good country to emigrate to, and swell into
eloquence when they declaim on it agricul
tural future.
