yesterday. It was the first sign Of
pleasure he had given vent to since

sign and chuckled approvingly the
omnipresent reporter saw prospects of

sought an interview with the prophet
That parsonage thereupon announced
that the pernicious blast Of another
scorching hot wave could be confidently
expected IN o day or two. He would
not assert that It would prove the most
extensive and the most intense caloric
of the season as other advices had
stated, but he was confident that it
would be sufficiently hot TO satisfy any
body but o salnmander.
For several days past extreme heat has
prevailed In the far Western and South
western States, and this condition has
been marching steadily eastward with
the evidently unalterable purpose Of
spending itself over the entire Atlantic
seaboard
The great wave Of high temperature,

curry upward with tremendous bounds.

broken before complete circuit of the

the greater part Of the country may be
seriously affected
