SOME HOT WEATHER.


. Those who think this is hot summer
should pay little attention to some sum-
mers which were really hot. Interesting
records of hot summers have been kept in
Europe. In 627 the springs were dried up,
and men tainted with the heat In S79 it
was impossible to work in the open fields.
In the year 993 the nuts on the trees were
roasted" as if in bakers oven. In 1000
the rivers in France were dried up, and the
stencil from the dead fish and other mat
ter brought pestilence into the land.
The heat in the year 1914 dried up the
rivers and the brooks in Alsace-L Lorraine.
The Rhine was dried up in the 1882. In
the year 1852 the heat was SO great that
eggs could be cooked in the sand In 1927
it was recorded that many men and ami
mails came by their death through
the intense heat. In the year
1903 the waters of the. Rhine and the
Danube were partially dried up, and peo-
pie passed over on foot. The crops were
burned up in the year 1894, and in 1888
the Seine and the Loire were as dry land.
In 1856 great drought swept through
Europe. In 1914 in France and even in
Switzerland the brooks and the bitches
were dried up. Not less hot were the
years 1846, 1879 and 1901. = In the year
.1715 from the month of March till Octo-
Der not drop of rain fell; the tempera-
ture roseto 3s degrees Reamur, and in
favored places the fruit trees blossomed
second time. Extraordinarily hot were
the years of 1874, t1746, 1856 and 1911.

mometer standing at 40 degrees Reaumnr,

ENGLAND,s ROYAL WOMEN.
Their Reputation for Good Looks Is
Said TO be Undeserved.


Said TO be Undeserved.
lIIondon Letter to the Philadelphia Times.l
What fiction it is to talk about the
beauty of any member of the English roy
al family! There could not be more
commonplace lot of women. The Princess
of Wales is slender almost to emaciation;
her eyes would be dull but for the make
up which surrounds them; her cheeks are
rouged and a wig always covers her head,
which, am given to understand, is COM
pletely bald. She has little if any bust,
she limps as she walks, and she is almost
stone deaf; so, one way and another, it is
rather sickening to read the mass of gush
that is to be read daily in the English
newspapers about the beauty, etc., of
England's future queen. She is, no doubt,
an accomplished, amiable, virtuous wo-
man, but in appearance she is an abso-
lutely commonplace and altogether unin-
teresting person.
Indifferent teeth, bad compilations and
wretched figures. Nobody would look at
them twice but for their exalted position.
The daughter of the Princess Christian are
equally plain looking, and there is no
promise of beauty in the young daughters
of the Duchess of Edinburg. As for Prin-
cess May of Teck, who has so often been
described as a beauty, all she can claim to
possess is passable figure and good eyes.
Her face, however is spoiled by the way in

ELECTROCUTION.

The ''electrocution'' of Kemmler seems
10 have been a horrible affair. He died
bravely, but the spectacle of his death took
One of the witnesses was so impressed by
the terrible scene that he gave the opinion
that there would never be another "elec-
trocution" in New York There never
ought to be if the truth is told about this
one. Hanging is terrible enough, but it
has several redeeming features when it is
compared with the new punishment.
The affair will of course cause extended
discussion, and we suppose that there will
be a clamor in New York for an immediate
return to hanging. The whole question of
capital punishment will also be again gone
over. 1t is indeed a troublesome one. In
all ages society has considered it right and
proper to remove its human pests, and the
methods of removal have not always been
as humane as they might be. 1t is still, we
suppose, generally thought, even in civilized
countries that it is right and proper to kill
persons guilty of certain crimes. But large
it, and would like to see it stopped. To be
sure, they are not certain that it would be
safe to entirely abolish capital punishment,
and they know that in some States of this
Union where it has been abandoned it has
had to be taken up again.
The great difficulty in the way of abol-
ishing capital punishment is the necessity
of finding some substitute for it. I'M
prisonment for life is the only thing offered,
and if murder were sure to be punished by
such imprisonment a good deal could be
said in favor of adopting it. But imprison-
ment for life often means imprisonment
only until pardon is obtained. 1t would
be instructive if full and fair trial of life
imprisonment could be had. We certainly
can't adopt ''electrocution" in view of yes
terday's proceedings.

Extraordinary Agriculture.


Soil-making, hot-water pipes in the soil,
and culture under glass at a certain period
of the life of the plant, will be: essential
features of the gardening of the futare.
They will finally dissipate the childish
fears as to the impossibility of satisfying
the needs of a rapidly increasing popula-
lation; and they will permit man always to
have fresh from the soil, the bush. or the
tree most of what is necessary for his life.
That is not dream of futurity; it is be-
coming fact of modern life. Indeed,
nothing can be more instructive on this
account than a visit to the islands of Jer-
sey and Guernsey, such as L recently
made. 1t gives one concrete idea of
what the world is coming to in the way of
culture under glass.
The island of Guernsey has to pourisir
1900 souls on each square nffe, and has a
good deal of unproductive soil Guernsey,
like the suburbs of Paris, is n land of mar
ket gardening, which has developed of late
into greenhouse culture. All over the is
hand, especially in the north, wherever You
look, you see greenhouses. They rise amid
the fields and from behind the trees; they
plltu upon OHt iilc
slopes of the hills facing the harbor. The
origin of this new departure was the rais-
ing of grapes. which was started about 30
years ago, by few enterprising men. At
present Guernsey exports every year about
500 tons of grapes, which represent a mon
ey value of 5000, at the low average
price of IS cents pound. However-and
that is the chief point-grapes are no long
er the most important crop of Guernsey
and Jersey greenhouses. And when L
walked through these glass-roofed kitchen
gardens, which do not know what failure
means, and which raise crop after crop
throughout the spring, summer, and au-
tumn, could not but admire the recent
conqnests of man. l saw three-fourths of
an acre covered with glass and heated for
three months in the spring, yielding about
eight tons of tomatoes aud about POO
pounds of beans, as a first crop in April
and May, to be followed by two crops
more during the summer and autumn. As
to the results, 1 cannot better characterize
them than by quoting what w. Bear, the
well know writer upon English agricul-
ture, wrote after visit to the same estab-
lishment-namely, that the money returns
from these 13 acres greatly exceed
those of an ordinary English farm of 1900
acres" The last years crops We're % tons
of grapes (which are cut form the first of
May till Ootober), so tons of tomatoes, six
tons of peas and two'of bean (the last three

Fortunes I'm Old Rurniturc.


Accident has from time TO time revealed
many treasures hidden away in various
countries during the troubles of war. 1t
would be lucky find, could one unearth
the treasure-chests of the imperial army
said to have been buried in Spain during
the Peninsular war, or those along Napo-
Icons line of retreat from the Beresina.
But even the more prosaic details of or
binary life are occasionally enlivened by
some little romance of accidental discove-
ry of wealth in old pieces of furniture
picked up, perhaps, at an auction The
fortune finders under consideration have
all had reason to rejoice over the posses
sion of oak chests and ancient cabinets.
One does not usually associate anything
very valuable or curious with charitable
institutions, yet in the almshouses at Wells
an interesting discovery of more than a
thousand original documents was made in
an old oak chest. Some of these docu-
ments dated back to the thirteenth centu-
ry, and many of their seals were in a won
derful state of preservation.
A few years ago gentleman bought a
cabinet at a salesroom for five shillings.
This piece of furniture was put ON one
side, unexamined for some time After
the lapse of about two years the owner
agreed to sell it to a purchaser-anxious
to buy a cabinet of the kind-for Just
double the sum he had paid for it. With
this intention he took it out of the corner
where it had been standing in o1ier to
dust it, He pulled out a drawer and dis
covered that it was shorter than the hole
into which it fitted, and there was a bun
die of what at first looked like five pound
notes inside. On taking them out he
found there were two bundles, one con-
tanning fourteen one hundred pound notes
and the other twenty-six notes also of one
hundred pounds apiece. They proved to
have been lost twenty years ago by a gen.
tleman in London, to whose representative
the money was restored and the finder re-
warded.
1t is not satisfactory to the discoverer of
hidden wealth when he has to refund his
suddenly acquired treasure to the rightful
owner, as happened also in the next case.
A carpenter not long since in Vienna re-
ceived from the wife of tailor an old
chest of drawers to be repaired. On ex-
amining the back he discovered a secret
drawer in which were several rolls of pa
per. These proved to be various bonds
and shares, all with their coupons at
tached. The finder at once honestly de
posted these valuable papers with tn,
commissary of police. 1t appeared tina

OF the many vaunted beauties of London

donna All the duchesses are plain-look
ing women; even the two American duch
esses, Marlborough and Manchester, are
too for beyond their youth to claim affilia-
ton with Venus.
The duchess of Portland looks like a well
fed dairymaid and the duchess of New
castle bears a marked resemblance to a
younger edition of Mrs. Cleveland. The
dowager Duchess of Montrose is sight
for the gods, with her fiaxen wig and cana
ry-colored garments, not to mention her
enormous proportions. She reminds one
of the better-half of a suddenly enriched
German brewer from Chicago. She GER
tainly would not be permitted to enter a
fashionable New York hotel until her
rank had been explained.
The duchesses of Rutland, Leeds, Cleve-
land and Richmond are old women, while
the duchesses of Abercorn, Hamilton, Ar
gyle and Westminster are absolutely plain
and undistinguished.
New Theory OF the Tides.
The shape in which the facts of nature
present themselves to unstrained minds is
often amusing enough, but often it is also
suggestive. Among sailors and fishermen,
for instance, one often finds way of stat
| ing things which is not only picturesque,
but which gives one an idea beside, says
the Youths Companion. 1t was an old
| fisherman of the coast of Maine who put
forward theory of the tide which is moi
without its interest as well as its drollery.
He was a philosophical old gentleman,
| much given to meditation in the sun, and
above all things else, determined never tC
be caught by question. He had alway.
| his answer, no matter what the inquir,
| made might be; and in the fishing villag,
where he lived he had something the repu
| tation of an oracle.

At Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, there is
a movement on foot to erect monument
to Philip Ginder, who, it is asserted, was
the discoverer of anthracite coal. Other
localities claim that anthracite coal was
known as far back as 1856, more than a
generation before Ginder made his dis
covery, but Mauch Chunk affirms, with a
good show of reason, that the importance
of Ginder's find outweighs altogether that
of any previous time, for in 1892, the year
he had stumbled upon the coal, and as an
immediate consequence of his discovery
the Lehigh Valley Coal Mining company
began practical mining in Carbon county.
Previous discoveries, it is said, were prac-
tically discoveries not at all, for nothing
important was learned of the unfamiliar
substance found and no real use was made
of it.
Prohibition seems to be about "played
OUT in Maine. Every hotel in Lewiston,
says the Bangor Qdaine) Commercial, has
an open bar, and good ones, too. Seizures
are very seldom made, as they are run on
business principles. Thereare twenty-f five
drug stores where the regular business il
/ carried on, but of this number it is said
there are only three or four that do mo-
sell any liquor except on a physician's pre-
scription. Men who visit these places
laugh at the idea of restriction. However
all not only sell by the bottle, but by tn
glass, including beer if you want it. Th'
druggists are really the men who contro
the rum business of Lewiston, and Il
whom the local politicians look for adyic
and general orders. Then there are som
forty places where certain drugs and fame,
articles are sold, but whose proprietors ar
not registered druggists.

suits: In each gramme of the cheese, whe
fresh, from 80, 600 to 14O, 200 microbes ar

Thus, a cheese 75 days old contains 800

of a soft cheese 90 days old and muc
denser than the preceding is 200, 900, an
that of cheese 45 days old is 1000, 90
microbes per gramme. But the populs
ton of cheese is not everywhere dis
tributed the same in it. The center is bu
