JUST AS HOT TO-DAY.
Mr.. Dunn Says So and Has Evil
denoe to Prove It.
But to New Workers. the Weather
Seems Cooler than Yesterdays.

"Doctored" Thermometers.

Weather Forccaster Dunn ran to the
thermometer. then to the p~luviometer,
then to the barometer and to the ther-
mometer, and pronounced all his prog
nostications verified. the first thing he
did when he got into his Office this
morning.
1T is generally fair he exclaimed,
'the wind is in the west. and we have
continued high temperature"
A waiting reporter. whose scientific
knowledge probably struck the altitude

ventured the opinion that 1t was much
cooler to-day than at the same hour
yesterday.
As Mr.. Dunn's prophetic reputation
rested on sustained heat, this expression
Of opinion brought him out vigorously.
1t is not and cannot be much cooler
he said. AT 8 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing the temperature was Is degrees, and
at the same hour this morning II Is ".
There is a difference OF but 3 degrees,
and that Is Offset by a reduced velocity
or wind, which is only five miles an hour
this morning, while 1t was between eight
and nine miles ar our yesterday. You
VIII find 1t quite as warm and uncom-
Portable to-day as yesterday. The only
point In so-day's favor is that the hui
nudity is five per cent. less than yester-
day at this hour"
This data is in~controvertible, but It IA
fair to say that the great New York pub
lie turning out for the day In the early
hours found the weather more bearable
than 1t was at corresponding hours a day
before.
A foglike haze hung over the city. Mr..
Dunn says that this was not cloud. but
dust and smoke particles that will occa-
sionally group together In cloud effects.

appearance of the sun during the morn

had the mellowing effect of smoked glass.
The darkenca areas upon its surface,
commonly called sun-spots. could be

luminary bcamed upon us with an ex-
preston OF countenance seldom assumed
towards mundane mortals.
Here Is Mr.. Dunn's statement OF tho
condition Of things throughout the coun-
try ut 8 o'clock this morning:
The temperature was high and almost
stationary in all parts east of the Mis-
souri, River. except over the LAX re-
Gtons and In New England States,
where It WIS slightly cooler. IT remains
cool in tho Dokotas. Montana. Wyoming
and the Rocky Mountain States.
