THE LATE WINTER IN EUROPE.
The singularly temperate weather of the late winter in Western Europe has excited a variety of surmises as to the cause thereof- The question was introduced at the French Academy of Sciences, when M. Blavier, mining engineer, called attention to the disappearance of the sardine from the coast of Brittany, where it used . to. bring in the fishermen 15,000,000f. a year. He attributed this to a change in the direction of the Gulf Stream, which also accounted for. the mild winter and early spring. M. Blanchard remarked that in England a committee) of engineers and hydrographers were studying the apparent change in thd Gulf Stream, and that information might be obtained from them. ’ ■ —-- ♦ .
