FEBRUARY, 28 Days.
Chinese XXIXth Year, Ist and Ild Moons.
During the month the thermometer continues low; but the dry bracing cold of the three preceding months is changed for a damp and chilly atmos- phere; the number of fine fair days is much diminished, and cloudy and foggy ones are more frequent in February and March than in any other months. The fog is sometimes so dense as to render objects invisible at a few yards' distance.
