Ignatius Don nelly In Eugland,

LCnoOn special 10 the New tofk sun
Ignatius Donnelly has found out that newspaper
men In this country are not bit better than their
hardened fellows In America At any rate It
may be fairly inferred that that is what he meant
when he told meeting OF the Bacon society on
Thursday evening that the English papers or to-
day are standing guard with journalistic budgeops
over The rotten carcas OF national delusion. Tie
Donnelly SAID he was going home soon. At that
meeting also he received almost the unAfndest cut
given him since his arrival in this country. He
proudly announced that John Bright had bought
and read the great cryptograin, whereupon a
heartless scoundrel, who could not have been q
Baconian and was probably O reporter, yelled out:
sNo wonder Bright has been Ill ever since"

No Signs Of q Drop In the Mercury.
WHAT THEY SAT- AT THE SIGNAL oFFIcE-sArUR-
DAYS sHowER STRICTLY LOCAL.

There is nothing on the weather map to show
that there will be much Of q drop In the catching
up" process that has been going on since the l4th.
The maximum yesterday was ~ degrees, and To-
days prediction says STATIONARY temperature"
The heat, however, will probably not be felt 50
severely Is yesterday or Saturday. for the air
Is comparatively dry, while heretofore t has been
damp. This makes considerable difference in the
sensation produced, for when the air Is dry the
evaporation OF the moisture Of the body takes
place with much more rapidity than when the
atmosphere is already saturated. This fact caused
the prediction made yesterday morning to fail
according to the scientific standard OF the ONCE
Tue prediction ONCE siid that the temperature
this morning at would be cooler than that or
yesterday at the same time but IL was one degree
higher or hotter instead, while O matter OF fact
the air was much more comfortable or pleasant.
The ofncer this morning repudiated any RESPONSE
ollity Tor the storm OF Satu day that came 80 un-
expectedly. II was entirely local, having origi-
nated wlLhin a few miles 10 the west OF the city,
and II did not reach 70 more than mile across the
