The Hot Weather in London.
From the SPECTATOR


London has been passing through
u short spell of tropical heat. On
Friday week the thermometer rose
to go, and it did not decline below
$50 till Wednesday, since which
day it has been cooler. During the
five hot days the nights also were
extremely oppressive, rooms with
u western exposure showing an av-
erage of 800. This Is more than the
usual heat of Bombay, or, indeed,
of Calcutta, where the sea breeze,
which usually springs up at 81 P.
M, makes the nights more endura-
BILE. The heat in the tropics, how
ever, falls on more exhausted
frames, and is far more difficult to
bear. Few deaths were recorded
we noticed only three-from sun
stroke, but most men were percept-
IDLY "tried," and children suffered
exceedingly, and had the maxi
mum heat lasted week longer
there would have been u heavy
mortality. The suddenness with
which the classes compelled to
work out of doors adjusted them
selves to the weather was very
noteworthy, The cabmen recog-
nizsd by sort of instinct that the
back of the neck was the point of
danger, and employed one of the
most effectual Of prOtectives, u cab.
bage leaf, covered by a straw hat.
We fear, however, that the mex
plicable superstition about the dan.
ger of drinking cold water in hot
weather still fingers. There Is, as
every Indian knows, no better
safeguard against heat apoplexy.
A gallon day would not hurt a
man laboring with the thermome-
ter above 80.

The Puente Oil Region.

County Clerk Potts, who yester-

land visited the camp of Mr.. B.
Chandler, who is preparing to bore
for oil in one of the cations ia the
Puente hills. He has erected a
substantial derrick, 80 feet high,
and Is now sinking a shaft prepare
tory to commencing the work of
boring. The shaft Is down Is feet,
all the way through brea, and as
soon as hard pan is reached, boring
will be commenced. He has also
prepared the foundation for an en-.
gine to be used in the work. Mr..
Chandler, who has had large ex.
perience in the oil regions of Penn
sylvania and West Virginia, is
confident of success and pronounce
es the surface indications as good
as any he ever saw.
Should he succeed in striking oil,
the well can be worked as cheaply
as any in the State: The brea will
furnish fuel, running water is
abundant and the conformation of
the country is such that a pipe line
can be constructed at slight ex-
pense from the we'll to Puente Sta
ton on the railroad, about six
miles distant, at slight expense,
the descent being gradual all the
way.
Near the proposed well Mr.. Row
land discovered a sulphur spring,
the water of which. judging from
its effect on himself aud Mr.. Potts,
he thinks, will equal in certain
medicinal qualities that of any
other mineral spring on the Coast.
He intends to have careful analy.
sis Of the water made at an early
day.

Professor Ennis. of the Naval OBJ
servatory at Washington, believes
that the tails Of comets are electric
light. "If these tails had any sub.
stance" he argues, "the laws of
motion are constantly violated by
them. The great comet Of 1913
went so near the sun that it passed
from one side to the other In few
hours. Its immense tail, loo, 000, 900
miles long, was shifted completely,
80 that it pointed in an exactly OPP
posite direction. Could that be SO
If 1t were composed OF any sub
stance? Could comet swing 100,-
100000 miles of tail so quickly
around as that? The electricity is
generated by evaporation. AS the
comets approach the sun, the heat
becomes more intense, the evapo-
ton and accumulation Of electrici-
ty more rapid, the repulsive force
greater and the tails longer. Some.

He said: Almost every Sergeant

Mr.. Thompson is probably no ex-
ception to the rule. The profits
of the office, which has a salary of
only $1,000 q year, arise from adj
vancing money to Congressman
and employees and charging inter
est for it. There are about one
hundred and fifty members of Con
gress who do not draw one cent of
their pay till the expiration of the
year. This makes $3.50, 900 ayaila-

example, deeply in debt for the
expense of the campaign and
subsequent treating and idling.
