day, and when the compartment adjoin-

occupant, a gentleman, was found in an
unconscious state, a sufferer from heat
apoplexy. Is it any marvel that such
seizures are frequent when during the
heated term the mercury in the sun
reaches l72 deg. and even 11S deg, and
1l5 deg. or ll6 deg. in the shade? The
air at this season is not only hot, but dry.
From the LIST of January to the 10th of
June but 81 inches of ram had fallen.
The monotony of the hot season Is re-
lieved by frequent dust-storms, which,
though not pleasant in themselves. pu-
rify the air. We see a yellow cloud ris-
ing out of the west and advancing
swiftly until the whole heavens become
lurid. The clouds of dust and sand
borne on the wind darkcn the air as
they approach, until the hla kness Of

and while the hot winds are blowing
