Pretty Cold Weather.

The point where the coldest temperature on earth has ever been observed has been dignified by the name of the pole of cold. It is located to the east of the River Lena, in Siberia. There, at Verchojansk, the Russian Government has established an observatory. The poor weather man out there reported in December, one year, 85 below zero, and January, 1885, as much as 90 and 98 below. What is known in Roman history as the Augustan Era began Feb. 14, 27 B. C., 127 years after the foundation of Rome.
