siderably warmer than has been actH
ally necessary for a large yield of corr

it was just of that emperature that egg
would roast in the sun, or butter turn t
oil in seven seconds if exposed. Thl
mercury managed, during midday, t.
attain to the hight of 930 in the shade
and at night there wasn't the frs
breath of fresh air stirring. The rive
rose four inches during the day and i
now again over the second floor of tin
: elevator, or the water level being 2
feet inches above extreme low water
mark. Most all Of the upper streams
are falling, as are those below, but a
yet indications favor a good boating
stage for the largest boats to st. Loui
anc all points above for the greater
part of the summer season. The de

night was inches at st. Paul, 2 at Da
