HISTORIC HOT SPELLS.
New York Had 1855 Cases of Sunstroke In
One Day in 1772.

New York Had 155 Cases of Sunstroke In
One Day in 1772.
In 1908 the Rhine, Loire and Seine
ran dry.
It seemed as if New York was on
fire in 1858. During the week 214 peo-
pie were killed in that city by sun
stroke.
Iu France in 171S many shops had to
close. The theaters did not open their
doors for three months Not drop of
water fell during six months. In 1773
the thermometer rose to 11S degrees.
In several of the French provinces
during the summer of 1705 meat could
be prepared for the table merely by
exposing it to the sun. Not soul
dare venture out between noon and
p. m.
In 1909 Spain was visited by a swell
fearful. Madrid and other cities were
deserted and the streets silent. La
borers died in the fields, and the vines
were scorched and blasted as if by a
simeon.
The year 1772 was a fearful one in
New York. One hundred and fifty
five cases of sunstroke occurred on
July 4, of which u proved fatal.
In ITS the heat of Bologne was so
great that hundreds of people were
stifed. In July, 1893, the heat again
became intolerable. Vegetables were
burned up and fruit dried on the trees.
The furniture and woodwork in dwell
ing houses cracked and split.
A disastrous hot wave swept through
Europe in June, 1851. The thermone-
ter in Hyde Park, London, indicated
from 80 degrees to 81 degrees in the
shade. In the Champs de Mars, Paris,
during a review, soldiers by the score
| fell victims to sunst roke, and at Alder
shot men dropped dead while at drill.
| In 1881 it is said the heat throughout
the United States was the greatest on
record, the thermometer in many
places registering 1O5 degrees in the
hade. In England the mercury
ranged from 80 degrees to 1O1 degrees,
and in Asia 93 degrees. In London it
was the hottest season known in TWEEN
| ty-two years. The director of the
Paris observatory declared there was
no record of such intense heat.-Pear.

a biography of her sister, who died at
the age of 10. Mary Willard seems to
have been gentle, amiable girl of del

of her religious tendencies she had an
inordinate fear of death. The critics
seem to be puzzled that so gentle a
