The Heat is Nothing.

Everybody is grumbling about the
heat just now, but when we inquire
into the matter a little and see
what great extremes of cold and
heat the human body is capable of
enduring there is perhaps not so
much to grumble about. An aver
age man has no difficulty in bear
ing the temperature at which mer-
curry is frozen (twenty degrees be-
low zero) as well as that which suf-
fees to cook an egg in fifteen min
utes, and yet we speak as if we were
being roasted alive when the ther-
mometer is so indiscreet as to mark
ninety in the shade.
During the Egyptian campaign
our soldiers often endured a tenn
perature of 122 degrees, and Egypt
is by no means the hottest region
on the globe. In Algiers traveller
has observed as much as 1853 de-
grees in the shade, and no doubt in
the centre of Africa even greater
heat is not unknown. | have my
self remained as many as fifteen
minutes, which is long enough to
cook an egg, in the hottest room
of Turkish bath which had been
heated to temperature of 25l de-
grees. Immediately afterwards
took a cold plunge in water not
more than SO degrees, which makes
a difference of temperature in less
than one minute of 1913 degrees.
The human organism is very
supple and very elastic in the mat.
ter of heat and cold; these very
high temperatures prick the eyes
little and give slight burning sen
sation to the head, but one easily
gets accustomed to them, an abun.
dant perspiration soon takes away
from the body the excess of warmth
that has been transmitted to it
| On the occasion | have mentioned
my body did not show all increas,
of temperature of more than hal
a degree.
So much for heat, now for cold
Travellers in Central Asia report a
much as 40 degrees below zero
when not only the mercury in tn
thermometer solidfes, but even al
alcoholic thermometer becomes Wis
cous. In this temperature boil
horses and camels perish. Mucl
greater cold is frequently felt il
| North America, and in Arctic trave
a constant temperature of from 3
to 50 degrees below zero is by N
means rare.
| All this proves what fine fellow
human beings are, and what ca
pacity they possess for endurance
No other animal can bear anythin,
like the differences of temperatur
| have mentioned, so that in on
instance at any rate mans boast t
be Lord of Creation is abundantl
justified.

He Fell Among Borrowers.

According to the Sheridan (Ore.
gon) Sun there is II schoolmastel
in thai state who has had enough
of boarding with people who treat
him "as one of the family" He
wishes to maintain a brotherly
spirit, but says there certain per-
sonal effects, properly so called
which he prefers neither to borrow
nor lend. Let US hope that the
Sun exaggerates the story of his
Affections.
He was boarding around, and in
the course of his peregrinations ar.
rived at a house where there were

How Wolves are Hunted.

Somehow one always associates
wolves with Russia even more than
bears. When you first go there
with your stock of ignorance, you
expect to be chased by packs of
them in your drives almost into
the very capital, and to have to
sacrifice your coachman and your
lady's-maid in order to save your
life.
But it turns out that most of the
chasing is the other way about.
Russia sportsmen do a great deal
in the way of fox-hunting, and a
small army of persons are constant
ly employed in the pursuit of wolves
for the sake Of their skins, which
are valuable marketable commo-
dity.
In the south of Russia wolves
are hunted according to English
ideas, on horseback with a pack of
hounds. Elsewhere a sledge will
be driven across the country, carry
ing a sucking pig squealing in a
bag. This attracts the wolves, and
they are shot as soon as they show
their faces. Or battues are organ
lied, the sportsmen going on foot
with number of dogs, and as many
as from eighty to a hundred beaters
Servants are as plentiful as black
berries IN Russia, so there is no diff
ficulty in obtaining as many as one
wants for such an expedition at
twenty cents day.
The common practice is to invite
the wolves to dinner by killing an
old horse or two and leaving Their
bodies under tree. The wolves
are not slow to accept the invita-.
ton, and you soon get wind of their
presence. When they have eaten
their fill they retire into the neigh.
boring thickets, and wait about in
expectation of further hospitality.
Then the process is to surround
them and send for sportsmen, as in
the case of bears. The beaters
slowly and silently stalk round
gradually decreasing the size Of the
circle. A signal is given, and they
rush in, yelling at the top of Their
voices to drive ont their victims
THE noise is sufficient to alarm 9

AT CENTRAL PARK.
Ivy BaIdwin's Dive and an Eight
Hour Walking Match.


An immense throng gathered on Market
street. near the corner of Eighth, yester-
day afternoon 10 see Professor Ivy Bald
win undertake his daring dive from the
summit of the 125-foot wooden tower in
Central Park.
Unfortunately for the success of the en-
terprise the structure from which Pro-
fessor Baldwin takes his leap can be so
easily seen from all parts around that the
crowd outside the gates excelled in num-
bsrs the throng within. But sufficient
number paid to witness the performance.
On the previous Sunday Professor Bald
win descended with such force upon the
canvas stretched out TO receive him that be
tore a rent in it as long as his body. A
new canvas was stretched yesterday. 1t
was half-past 3 o'clock before all was
ready, and the aeronaut-acrobat ran like
monkey up the long ladder leading &c the
too of the tower. Arrived there, he per-
formed few graceful and perilons bal
ancing feats, and after hanging by MS
toes for few seconds to make sure of his
Whereabouts he shot into space.
In an instant Professor Baldwin landed
on his back on the canvas unhurt. Some
medical men were there. however, who
wondered the diver did not severely njure
his lungs. Baldwin when asked about that
said: THAT is the worst Of this business.
A man can only keep at it for very short
while. Then he has to quit Tor at least
two years. If he don't he tears his lungs
all TO pieces"
Another attraction at Central Park yes
day was an eight-hour walking match. in
which Frank Edwards, champion of the
coast, and two local pedestrians. named
Kahn and Hicks, took part.
