LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Wonderful Weather. Sir, —I see many comments aud enguiries in the papers lately about the cause of the extraordinary weather we are enjoying. I stated in my last letter that I have given the movements of the ice in the Guit and the Straits some consideration, and said consideration has quite satisfied my mind as to many of the agencies that affect our climate. My opinion is that the move- ments of the ice on the Labrador and New- fuundland cuasts have more to do with it than anything else. [ think that we could, by artifical means, secure such weacher every year, viz, by clusing the Straits of Belle Isle and preveniing the Polar ice from Coming in and filling up the Gulf anc Straits. ‘This is no uew theory. But since it was first advanced there has not been any season 80 calculated to prove its cor- rectness a8 the preseut one. I have never seen it fail, that so soon asthe Gult and Straits fili up with ice we have winter, be iteary inthe seasua or late. That said ice is not made in the Guilt 18 clearly shown by its thickness So long as the ice keeps away the Warm weather wul continue, ano 80 Suv as It Comes winter will be here. lt will be asked why the ice has not come a varly as usual this winter The prime cause cennot be easily explained. Bu: ut is well known that we usually have heavy north-east and easterly storms during sum- mer and, autumn. These storms drive large quantities of Polar ice through the Straits of Belle Isle into the Gulf, quickly lowering the temperature of the water ; and we often feel the cold even before ut closes around the Island. It is, I believe, admitted that a few degrees in the temper- ature of the Atlantic Gulf Stream chat washes the western cousis of several Eure pean countries in as high and much highe: iatitudes than ours, 1s the sule cause of the temperate climate those countries are favoured with. The absence of the above mentioned easteriy storms, and the pre valence of westerly winds the past seasun, has prevented the Polar ice from coming into the Gulf, and our share of ice besides the usual quantity to be driv-n into the Atiantic Guif stream; thus abnor mally cooing ite waters, and thereby causiug the extraordinary cold weather in Europe, especially the British Islands, and tel: severally aa far sonth as Italy. The fact that shipmasters h.ve seen large quantities of ice much turther south than usual the past season, placea this theory almost bevond doubt, It is well-known that large bodies of water chauge their temperature very slowly, even in the greatest heat of summer or cold of winter, unless large quantities of ice is placed ia them. When that takes place the temperature lowers quickly to nearly the freezing point; and as a vast quantity ot cold is thus forced into our gulf every winter, it, I think, is provable that even if the Strait of Belle Isie were closed, it would take at least three years for its waters to reach their maximum temperature; and when that would be reached our winters would be even warmer than the present one. ln fact, we would have none of our old fashion- ed winters at all; and sowing would commence probab:y in vhe latter part of March. The necessity for either tunneliiug or filling up our Straits would therefore almost vanish. If tne men we delight to honor were only capable of risiug above the meanness of extreme partizan- ship or Parliamentary chicanery and use some of their wasted energies in studying up this important matter, we need not suffer the isolation so much deplored by Senator How- lan and the severa. speakers atthe Board of Trade Tunnel meeting, as the Maritime Provinces and Quebec would be as much or more benefited by this great undertaking as ourselves. Hoping that those imperfect remarke may lead some of our people at least

Death of Cardinal simeoni.

Cardinal Simeoni, formerly Papal Secre- ary of Siate and Prefect General of the Propaganda, died at Rome vn Thursday ast froman attack of influenzs. During he time the case of Dr. McGlynn was sttracting so much attention Cardinal Simeoni’s name was often mentioned He was born at Valana, July 23, 1816, and having been ordained a priest was, on account of his solid learning, empl yed in flices of cunsiderab!e importance, In 1847 he was auditor of the Nunciature at Madrid. After some years we tind him at Rome, Prefect of studies in the Pontifical Lyceum the Ruman Seminary and Prothon tary Ap stolic (patecipanli) For many years ne was Secretary ot the Congregarion of tue Propaganda, and as a Consultor he b longs to the Holy Roman and Univers.) i: quisition, to the Piopaganda of Affairs,

Meeting at Newton

A very ivteresting and pleasant evening was spent in Newton Schvolhouse on the 12 bh inst., when the first part of the programme outlined under the auspices of the League of

he Cross, was carried out, viz., a uniondehate by the clubs of Kiekora, Emerald and New. ron, on the subject, ‘*Which: the Reader or Traveller gains the more information.”

_ The schoolroom was well filied with an intelligent and appreciative audience, who had assembled to hear the talented speakers from each of the above named districts dvance arguments in favor of either the Reader or Travéller obtaing his icformation Notable among the large assembly was Rev. J. J. McDonald, our zeaions and palastaking pastor whose heart is always with the “*Leaguers” and the improvement and educa ‘ton of the young men withio his p.scoral charge.

The epeakers on behalf of the Reader presented a solid front. This side was ably and forcibly opened in a lengthly and logical discourse by Mr. D. J, Cameron, of Kinkora He was followed in turn on the same side by Messrs P. J. Smith, G R. McMahone. Verrence Goodwin, Thomas McCabe, and James Johnston, all «f whom made good pints against cheir opponents but not least on thesame side was Michael Cunpingham, whose stentorian voice made oid Newton ring in his endeavors to score a point against some adversary.

The side of the Iravelier was defended by Mr. Michael McKenna, whose speech made a fair impression upon the audience. tollowed according to order by Messrs. James Duffy, Hugh Duffy, Peter Greehan, William McCabe, Francis Cove and Veter F. Hughes, whose »rguments fell heavily upon their op- ponents, and which, after a heated discussion of several hours, wrested the decision from them amid a great outburst of applause.

Mr. Hugh McIver, who had acted as Chair man, and in whose hand the decision rest. was Warmly teudered a vote of thanks for his able and impartial conduct, to which he in ‘ppropriate words repiied

Rev. J. J. McDovald then highly compli mented the several speakers upon how they vad acquitied themseives He referred ‘o both siues as havicg made able and impressive arguments, and closed his remarks by ;emind- ing them that the next union debate will take place in February, in Emerald Hall, when a profitabie and interesting evening may be spent as waa done at Newton.

After the usual motion of adjournment the meeting dispersed.

Starving, Cold aad Ill. COUNT TOLSTOI WRITES ON THE RUSSIA,

A long article by Count Tolstoi on the subject of the famine in Russia appears in a lste number of the London Daily Te'e- gr-ph, The Count says that the reproaches against the Russian government and its of- ficial representatives are exaggerated and the charges of apathy in many cases un- founded.

**All,” he says, ‘tare doing their best to stave off the impending calamity. If re- sults are meagre it is less from lack of good will than from the condition of the rela tions subsisting between the succorers and the succored.”

“The initial mistake was made in not supplying the peasants sutlicient seed corn and fuel. The permission to take fuel from the royal forests was practically use- less, because the people have no means for the conveyance of wood over long dis- tances.

‘Then the friction between the govern- ment. which is doubtful whether the fa- mine is so acute and extensive as repre- sented, and the provincial assemblies, which in their anxiety, overrate the extent of the destitution, fur.her increases the difticul- ties and delays. While both are wrangl- ing the pessants are starving.”

Couat Tolstoi then proceeds to picture the destiture conditivn of his own district He admite that much ‘lrunkenness prevails, and that in many cases well-.o-do but thrifty people eat the bread intended for the famine sufferers from motives of econ omy.

Yet in the Kripivinsky, Bogoroditak. Epiphansk «nd Ephremoff districts from 30 to 60 per cent. of the people will have noth ing to eat in a week ortwo. They are al ready consaming bread so bad that it acts like a violent emetic when taken into the stumach, and the beverages which these un- fortunates drink make them crazy.

Count Tolstoi also gives hesatrendering pictures of wives, with all their little chil- dren, ill clad, starving, cold and ili, avxivusly awaiting the return of their hus bands who have gone to seek aid for their famishing families

He deciares that this state of things, al though perhaps in a somewhat less degree, has always existed in ceriain districts, and 18 part and parce! of the national existence.

FAMINE IN

the Oriental Rice, co the Council for the Revision of the Provisional Councils and} ter extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs

When the Ecumenical Council of the; Vatican was called Simeoni was one of the} Consultors for the Cummissien of Oriental; Churches and Mission, and for Ecclesias- tical Discipline. The diplomatic relations between the Holy See and the Court of! Spain having been re-est«blished in 1845 his H«liness Pius 1X sent Mgr. Simeon as} Nuncio to Madrid, Having just rec gniaed | him Archbishop of Chalcedonia on March} 18, 1875, Pius IX created him cardinal, | reserving him (in petto) and Sept. 17, the same year, he pubiushed him Consistory. Mgr. Simeoni, having been created Car- dinal, remained in the Nonciature at Mad- | rid in the quality of Pro Nanciv. Onthe death of Cardinal Antonelli in 1876, he} was appointed Secretary of State to His Holiness Pius IX, an office which he retained till the death of ihat Pontiff, and Prefec: of the Sacred Apvstolic Palaces, and the Sacred Lauretau Congregation. He was succeeded as Secretary of State by Oardinal Franchi, in March, [878, when Pope Leo XIII appointed him to his present office.

The rebels in Morocco are said to be

gaining in strength and boldness.

The cause, Count Tolstoi ssys, is assuredly not the fai'ure of the crops.

The Times correspondent at Sr. Peters burg says: ‘It is stated that the first famine lottery will be drawn on Jan 27, and that the second will then be issued. This method of raising money is condemned on all sides, in view of the millions which the government always has at its disposal for charity.” Medical reports from the famine districts show an alarming increase of hunger typhus. The migration of pea- sants in search of work is likely to spread this disease over the whole country.

LE EI

Leadville, Col., has no cats, the thin at- mosphere at that altitude (10,200 feet) be- ing tatalto them. The town is free from rats and mice from the same cause.

The Berlin Kreuz Zeituag referring to the release of a Jewish butcher arrested at Xanden on the charge of murdering a Christian boy, insists that the release of the prisoner was an error. The Kreuz Zeitung mainta'ns the truth of the charges against the Jews of killing Christian chil- dren for the purpose of using their blood , iu their peculiar religious rites. The state | of the boy’s body, it says, proved that the murder was the work of a practiced slaughterer. The article has caused a sen- sation.
