New York Had 155 Cases of Sunstroke In
One Day Away Back in 1772.
la 1903 the Rhine, Loire, and Seine
ran dry.
1t seemed as if New York was on
fire in 1853. During the week PA
people were killed in that city by
sunstroke.
In france, IN Ills. many shops had
to close. The theaters did not open
their doors for three months Not a
drop ofwater fell during six months
In l773 the thermometer rose to lis
degrees.
In several Of the French provinces
during the summer Of 1905 meat
could be prepared for the table merely
by exposing it TO the sun. Not a soul
dare venture out between noon and
1 p N.
In 1909, Spain was visited by a
sweltering temperature that is de-
scrlbed as fearful. Madrid and other
cities were deserted and the streets
silent. Laborers died in the fields,
and the vines were schorched and
blasted as if by simeon.
The year 1772 was fearful one in
New York. One hundred and fifty
five cases of sunstroke occurred on
July 4. of which seventy-two proved
fatal.
In ITS the heat of Bologna was so
great that numbers OF people were
stifed. 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
A disastrous hot wave swept
through Europe in June, 1851. The
thermometer in Hyde PARK, London,
indicated from 90 10 ga in the shade
In the Champs de Mars, Paris, dur.
ing a review, soldiers by the score fell
victims to sunstrOke, ana Alder
shot men dropped dead while at
drill.
In 1881 it is said the heat through
out the United States was the great
est on record, the thermometer in
many places registering 105 in the
shade. In England the mercury
ranged from 80 TO 100, and in Asia
93. In London it was the hottest
season known in 22 years The di-
rector Of the Paris observatory de-
clared there was no record of such in
tense heat.

To Forten the Weather.

A Spanish journal tells of an in
teresting experiment to be tried with
a cup of clear coffee and a lump OF
sugar. The sugar should be dropped
into the coffee without stirring; in a
moment the air contained in the
sugar will rise to the surface in the
shape OF bubbles and these bubbles
are excellent weather indications.
II they collect in the middle of the
cup fair day follows; if, adversely,
they adhere TO the sides, forming a
ring OF bubbles, with a clear space in
the center, take your umbrella, for
rain Is at hand; while, if they do
neither one thing or the other, but
scatter irregularlY, variable weather
Is indicated.
Just what is the scientific explana-
tiOn of the action of the atmosphere
on the bubbles is not stated, but that
their indications curiously agree with
those of barometer has been tested.
