KING WINTER'S FREAKS. EXTRAORDINARY WARMTH IN MANY PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. Somr AutlioritleM Maintain Tliut the Chang" 1A Permanent ami l)ne to tho Redemption of the Arid West by Irri gation—Many and Curl oil* Theories. "What is the matter with the weather?" Such in effect is the question that has been coming to all the signal offices east of the llocky mountains, and to hydro graphic bureau and local scientists in many sections of the United States. And with the question have come statements that would be simply incredible if unat tested by clouds of witnesses—statements of flowers blooming in open air, "greens" gathered from the garden on New Year's day, cotton blooming on "St. Jackson's day," green pastures and sultry nights as far north as latitude 38 deg., and no ice lit to cut within 500 miles of New- York! New Orleans and Charleston, perhaps, present the most extraordinary figures —oflticial, too, being those taken at the signal stations. On the Uth of January the official thermometer at New Orleans registered 82 deg. in the shade, and for thirty-four days it has only once or twice been below 70 deg. at noon. In November there were a few pleasantly cool days, but since the Ist of December ■every day has been hot and dry. The hottest winter previously known uver aged seven degrees cooler, and the aver age is much cooler than that. At Ham mond, La., a ripe watermelon was pulled and eaten on Christmas, and on the first , :: \ si* three days of January cotton blooms ap peared in Plaquetuine parish. 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 cis terns are generally dry, and the people are using river water, Byway of con solation, 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 $0 a ton. In Charleston the mean temperature for Decernlir was 00 deg. and the rain fall less th in 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 pres ent weather continues cotton could he picked in May instead of October. At Syracuse, N. Y., garden roses have devel oped and several sorts of shrubs have formed leaf, while the air hr.fi been warmer generally than in any winter since 1829. In all New England, save a "thin skin" on a few of the mo-t north ern lakes, there is no ice, while on the eastern end of l ong Island, which gets the warm wave at its strongest, dande lions arc in full bloom where the earth is ordinarily hidden by snow. | Explanation s abound. But they do not expl.'Jn. It is. of course, known that the winter storms from west to east, or east-north, ast, are moving across the continent in a track from 800 to 500 miles north of the usual line, and that, as the storm center creates a suction drawing sidewinds .owards it, this op erates to bring up warm winds from the south; hut why do the storms go so much further north? ' The first explanation offered was the now familiar otiCj the maximum(or min imum) of sun spots. But that is com pletely demolished by tlid records for jr>nny years showing no conuet flon be tween sun s|>ots and warm or Cold winters. All explanation just fan ciful enough to make it popular was that of the Gulf Stream; many cap tains contend that it is gradually draw ing nearer the Atlantic coast, and there fore giving us warm and foggy weather, "quite English, you knaw.'l 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 just where it was when first lo cated in the charts. Second, Ecglan 1. and western Europe generally have their tfttial winters. And thirdly, and most conclusive of all, the win* iter is even /note abnormal west of the Mleghanies, away up in the northwest and at the west end of the Gulf of Mex ico, than on the Atlantic coast. The Oulf Stream is a big thing, but it could not make green fields rn Mi-souri in January. A few hujn'T-bCieiitif!<? people flic in •lined to fall hack on the late Professor James Wt.l soil'.* favorite theory: that the earth, sun and solar system, in their grand sweep through space, pass through' great bells of heat and cold—great /ones which fill uncounted millions of miles of the interstellar void. It is now generally conceded that the illimit able space through which the sfiirs are scattered (about as thickly in proportion, lerhaps, as if a hundred pin beads were distributed over tlio state of Texas) is filled with some substance—extremely tenuous, of course, but still a substance, or gas if you please. And it may well be that it has great waves of heat through which the whirling systems plunge. Only, we cannot prove it ji\st now. Sergt. Dunn, the local weather official . of New York city, propounds a tuost startling theory, and very plausible too; but those who hear it for the first time will have to think a while before they can decide to be glad or sorry. His the ory in brief is this, us outlined recently in The New York Bun; The change is permanent, the United States generally is 10 have milder winters, and the cause is that a new storm center tiM beefi ft*, lished by tho settlement, ii'tigatio'n ASK. redemption of a once arid vogion fn thtf' far west. From the Black Hilfo to the month of the Itio Grande and from longi tude 98 dog., or thereabouts, to iin un known western line, was once the "Great American Desert." Settlement and irri gation have wonderfully changed its character. It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that millions of acres have been j covered with timber since 1860. Within j the memory of men still living tho buf falo grass clothed the western bluffs of the Missouri. Then the dry winds swept i over the plains without hindrance. Now artificial groves, ponds, fountains, plowed tields and irrigating ditches and reser voirs create clouds. A new storm cen ter has been made by the hand of man. In demonstration Sergt. Dunn says that a New Yorker who, within a year or two, lias invested thousands of dollars in an irrigation company in Colorado re cently called on liiiu to tell the story of his ill luck. 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 re ceives only thanks for its pay. The annexed map illustrates the won derful change in the once "far west" and arid belt. Of course tho sergeant's 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 lab oratory, 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 tho country to the sea in from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. Every 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 011 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 east ward over Kansas, and then northeast and down the St. Lawrence. Uou. Gt'eely, chief of the signal serv ice, does not believe tho change is per manent. lie impartially rejects all the theories offered, ami 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 popu! a - mind a tendency to believe that ti) ■ un;' urll has never happened be fore, or that it has never been o marked, while, hi fact, warm winters have oc curred 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 tho chief declines to be responsible for t lie weather. It isn't too late yet, however. Some of the coldest "snaps" the country ever suf fered have come in February; but un fortunately they are, as a rule, very brief, and the result is only sleet and snow. So where is our ice to come from next summer? Icemen say that the nearest present supply is 500 miles north of New York, but New Orleans humor ously offers to supply the northern cities, MAP SHOWING NEW ST6RM CENTER, Tlio liue runuing north and south shows the eastern boundary of the old "Great American des ert," the "tint" the supposed new storm center and tlio lines from west to east the track of the storm ot Jan. 13-11. having a machine capacity to manufac ture 820,000 tons a year, while it only tises 75,000 tons. That would just com plete the joke and make 1890 truly a mCiWorahle year. American Humor.

When use has worn it rough they will melt and freeze it again. All this they do by a system of pipes; about 18,000 yards of piping, through which auimonical gas is forced, on the same principle as that of the ice making machine. Xlie so called "Grand Plaza of the Bulls," in Pergolese street, which but a few days ago was rod with the blood of bovines slaughtered by the Spanisli art ists, Lagartijo and Ouerrita, is now the rink. In the adjoining room are three strong steam engines driviug three ice machines; from those a large pipe leads under (lie floor to the edgo of the rink, where it connects with a regular net work or gridiron of small pipes covering the floor of the rink. As there is a space of but two or three inches between pipes, and the area of the circular rink is about 2,800 square yards, some 1,800 yards, as aforesaid, of piping are required. The water is turned on till it rises an inch or two over the pipes; then the amtnoni acal gas islet in, and in a few minutes the temperature of tlie pipes is 30 degs. below the freezing point! Of course there is nothing for tlie water to do hut to freeze. The gas is retorted and re turned to the reservoir, and there is a loss of but 5 per cent, for eaclt time it is used. Paris does not average a week's ling weather to the winter, but tW "gc ment, the engineers claim, will make it a fixture. THE GENI'JG OF LIGHT. Tlionina A. Ellison's New unit Beautiful Statue* While Thomas A. Edison was abroad he saw in the Italian department of the Paris exposition a statue in 'which he could hardly fail to be interested. It is called the "New Genius of Light," and was designed by A. Bordiga, of Rome. The statue is allegorical and typifies the triumph of electricity as a means of illumination. It is a life size figure of a youth in semi-recumbent position par tially supported by half extended wings on the ruins of a broken gas lamp.

Tuesday morning Marion Crow I was placed on trial at Uniootown. Fayette county, for the murder of Joseph M . Porter, whom he shot In death at Dunbar on Monday afternoon, December 2d. This was the ninth homicide committed in Fayette county during the year 188b. Growl's grudge at Porter grew out of jeal ousy. He and Porter were both paying attention to a Conuellsville young lady who showed a preference for Porter. This angered Growl and lie took the train at Connellsvillc one afternoon and went up to Dunbar. Calling at the house of Mr. Fulke, Porter hoarded, ue asked Hie later to take a walk. While they were walki ig along Growl pulled out a revolver and shot Porter. Porter partly fell, holding to tlie fence, wlien Growl Ijred two more shots into iiis de fenseless victim, who died in a few tniu utcs. Growl was arrested in Connells villc and has since been in theGrceusburg jail.
