HOT SUMMERS.—The excessive heat which prevails at
present gives some interest to the following account of
remarkably hot summers :—" In 1132 the earth opened,
and the rivers and springs disappeared, in Alsace. The
Rhine was dried up. In •1152 the heat was so great that
eggs were cooked in the sand. In 1160, at the battle of
Bela, a great number of soldiers died from the heat. In
1276 and 1277, in France, an absolute failure of the crops
of grass and oats occurred. In 1303 and 1304, the Seine,
the Loire, the Rhine, and the Danube were passed over
dry-footed. In 1393 and 1391 great numbers of animals
fell dead, and the crops were scorched up. In 1410 the
heat was excessive. In 1538, 1539, 1540, and 1541, the
rivers were almost entirely dried up. In 1556 there was
a great drought over all Europe. In 1513 and 1616 the
heat was .overwhelming in France, Italy, and the Nether-

lands. In 1646
