THE WARMEsT REeIoN ON EARTH
There are many very warm spots on the tor
rid zone, but BohriU, by the Gulf Of Persia,
seems to be, as far as temperature goes, alb
solutely without rival. For forty consec-
utive days 10 July and August, 1889, which
was by DO means an exceptional season, tie
thermometer was known not to fall lower
than 100 degrees Fahrenheit night or day,
and often ran up as high as 12S degrees in
tbs afternoon. Nature, as II to make the
spots rs iuloerabe TO human beings as puR-
sit!e, has hanished all water from the rocks
Of the locality-at least, none has ever been
procured by digging to depths of nearly 500
feet, aud the numerous pits or dry wells in
The neighborhood show how thoroughly the
nppcc stratum has been tapped. 10 spite OF
these apparently insupera5le obstacles, how
ever, mankind has oontrived to flourish ard
multiply il this region to an amazing extent,
and the necessary fresh drinking water
which the land has refused TO yield is OBJ
tanned from the bottom Of the Gulf of Per-
STA, where, ct distance of more than mile
from !hs shore, innumerabe copioUs springs
burat forth.-Scotsman.

WARRINGTON. D. c.. June 8. 1880.
Col. R. NJ Mayo was here to-day on his
wsy to West Point with his son Dick, who
has received an appointment as cadet.
COL Mayo says there is some talk g. Henry
Seldom, oolored, of his county being candi-
date for Congress. Col. Mayo thinks w. A.
Jones by all odds the strongest and ablest
man the democrats can run in the first dis
trict.
Among the strangers at the Capitol tc1ay
was ex-senator Lewis of Virginia. MIR.
Lewis is as much opposed 10 Mahoneism
now as ever, and attributes the present con-
dition of the republican party in his State 10
the Generals maligu influence. He says il
will be even more useless for the republicans
to run a candidate for Congress in his dis
trics next fall than it was two years ago,
when the money the national republican
COM mittee gave Gen. Roller, the republican
candidate In the party, and the independent
democratic candidate outside of il. might
lust as we'll have been thrown into the Shell
andoah river. He Gays he hears talk of
Gen. Ro ser contestipg with Col. O'Ferrall
for the democratic nomination, but he thinks
the latter too solid!y fixed to be displaced.
The House passed it's silver bill last Sat-
urday evening. The Senate resumed the
consideration OF its own silver bill to-day.
Ii Is safe to say that it will not substitute
the House bill for lis own.
The republicans Of the House vii! hold
another caucus tomorrow night on the fed

taken hold of this matter now, and the pre-
vailing impression on the subject to-day lie
that bill will be decided upon, snd that it
