Forecast of a Long, Cold Winter

AUGUSTIN REY, a naturalist and meteorologist of France, has advised his government that all signs indicate a long and cold winter, comparable only to that of 1870-71. Here are some of his signs: early snows in the Alps, even in low altitudes; trees began to lose their leaves in August; field mice began to burrow into winter quarters that same month, instead of waiting until September; birds commenced to migrate in advance of the ordinary season.
