Exposure Brings on Rheumatism. Thermometer Registered All the Way From 1f to 25 Below Zero. Waverly—That Waverly is a place where varieites of temperature can be found at the same time Is evidenc- ed by the variations that were noted in different parts of the village last evening. It wis a very cold night, and almost every one who possesses a thermometer was careful to not ex- actly what it registered this morning. That they are correct is vouched for in each instance by the owners of the various temperature Imeasurers, so there can be no doubt that they are true A man living on Center street sald that it was 23 degrees below, another on Clinton avenue claimed that it went us low as 24 below zero. The thermometers of two men, one iiving on Park avenue, and the other adjointing him on the rear, and whose house fronts on Chemung street regsi- tered 20 above and 22 above zero re- spectively. Friends are keeping them apart until the weather moderates In hope that any conflict will be averted. Oue man on Pine street claims that the mercury in his glass all but sol- idfied, having gone to 28 below zero while a man living near the center of town claims that It was at least 16 degrees warmer. The low temper- ature man says that the difference Is accounted for by the difference in distance that the places are from the internal heat. What other extremes might have been recorded is not known, as they did not reach the ears of the scribe.
