sion of the firm of Andrew f. Leatherbee

said III give fifteen" At the close
of the appeal he was greatly af-

generosity quickly oozed away. He
came down from fifty to twenty, to

In 1908 and 1901 the Rhine. Loire

New York was on fire in 1883. The
thermometer ranged from y2 to 81
degrees for five or six days. During
the heated term PA persons were

many shops had to close. Theatres
did not open their doors for three
months. Not drop of water fell
during six months. In 1878 the ther-
mometer rose to 118 degrees. The heat
in several of the French provinces
during the summer of 1908 was equal
to that of a glass furnace. Meat
could be prepared for the table merely
by exposing it to the sun. Not soul

a sweltering temperature that is de-
scribed as fearful. Madrid and other
cities were deserted and the streets

One hundred and fiftY-fve cases of

principal thoroughfares were like
fields of battle. Men fell by the
score, and ambulances were in con-
slant requisition. In 1878 the heat of
Bologna was so great that numbers of
people were stihed. In July. 1898,
the heat again became intolerable.
Vegetables were burned up and fruit
dried on the trees. The furniture and
woodwork in dwelling houses cracked
and split and meat went bad in an
hour. A disastrous hot wave swept

Washington the heat was frightful.
