A New Weather Theory.
When the number representing any
given year is even and exactly divis¬
ible by three, that year is the middle
one of three cold and wet summers.
When the number representing
the year is odd and divisible by
three, then that year is the middle
of a triad of dry and hot summers.
For example, 1860 is even and
divisible by three by three, and the
prevailing characteristic of the three
years 1859, 1860, 1861 was wet, or
wet and cold ; and again, 1863 is
odd and divisible by three, and
everybody remembers 1862, 1863
and 1864 as bright, hot and dry
summers.
Taking now a range of twenty
seven years over which my own
personal observations extend, and
applying and cold the rules just given, the
wet triads were 1853-’55,
1859-’61, 1865-’67, 1871-’73, and
1877-79, while thedry and hot triads
1856-58, 1862’64, 1868-71 and
1874-76; and without claiming
that no single year broke loose from
this very order of seasons, I fear¬
lessly maintain thatall the markedly
wet or dry summers of the past
twenty-seven years fall accurately
within some wet or dry period ns
given above ; so that no very wet
year falls in what should have been
a dry period, nor any very dry year
in what hypothetically was a wet
period.
The number 1881 is odd and divis¬
ible by three, and, if there isany thing
in my theory, that year ought to be
the middle one in a triad of hot and
dry summers. I am looking forward
therefore, with much confidence to
a good summer in 1880, foliowed by
two similar good ones in 1881, and
1882, and for the sake of every interest
in the country, I earnestly hope my
ed. expectation may not be clisappoint
