The Hottest Spot on Earth.

One of the hottest regions on
the earth is along the Persian Gulf,
where little or no rain falls. AT
Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh
water, yet comparatively numer-
Gus population contrive to live
there, thanks to the copious springs
which break forth from the bottom
of the sea. The fresh water is got
by diving. The diver sitting in
his boat, winds great goat-skin
bag around his left arm, the hand
grasping its mouth then takes in
his right hand heavy stone to
which is attached strong line and
thus equipped he plunges in and
soon reaches the bottom. Instant
ly opening the bag over the strong
jet of fresh water, he springs up
the ascending current, at the same
time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled
mp, and the diver, after taking
breath, plunges again. The source
Of the copious submarine springs
Is thought to be in the green hills
Of Osman, some five or six hun
dred miles distant.

When hollers den yo' go.
Top ladies cross ober.
Hold on till l take dram
Gemmen solo Yes, rs sober
KANT tell how the fiddle ami
Hands around !-hor up yo' faces
Don't be lookin' at yo' feet
Swing yo' pardners To yo' places
OATS de way-dat's hard to beat.
Sides to'wa'd-when you's ready
Make bow as lows yo' kin.
Swing acrosst wild opp'site ladyi
Now We'll let yo' swap a'gin;
Ladies change-shut up dat talkin';
Do yo' talkin' arter while
Right and lef' don't want no walkin'l
Make yo' steps an show yo' stylel
