 German experiments have confirmed the fact that there is a zone around fog signals within which the sound cannot be heard, a fact first demon strated in the United States. A ves- sel steamed with the wind straight for the lightship from distance of AZ seq miles; at 2% miles the sound was heard faintly, and suddenly increased in loudness at 21a miles, retaining the same intensity up to miles. Then it grew fainter; from 1a to 11s 1t could scarcely be heard, but then became so loud that it seemed near at hand. At half g. mile the sound disappeared en- tirely and was heard again at a quar- ter of mile. increasing up to the light ship. The same phenomenon was ob- served in going away from the light ship and on returning to it a second time. That is, at a quarter of mile from the signal for breadth of a quarter of mile the sound was maud ible, and again at 11a miles for the same distance it could not be heard.

DEATHS FROM THE HEAT

New York, June "a cool
easterIy breeze sprang up
shortly after 8 o'clock this af-
.ternoon and it is hoped put an
end to the hot weather for a
season at least. For FIVE days
the mercury has ranged from
20 to 95 degrees above zero and
sweltering humanity have long
ed in vain for a breath Of fresh
air. Ambulances and surgeons
have been kept busy attending
persons who have beer over
heated. Not only have the rec
ords have been broken for the
30th and 3Tst of May and list,
I'd and Sd of June, but a much
more important record has been
smashed. This is a record of
five days in succession. Never
before in the history of the
weather department has an
ything of this nature occurred
before. 1t is safe to say that
at least twenty-five people have
died during the past five days
as a result of the heated term,
and over $50 have been pros
trated and taken TO different
hospitals of the city. A good
many of those taken to the diff
ferent public institutions will
not recover. The nearest to to-
days heat was June 3, 1884,
when the thermometer register
ed Sc. The death list for the
day is one of the longest on
record. Thus far ten people
have been carried off the streets
dead and eleven more are in a
preearious condition.

FHE COMING BATTLE.

l0g inc UUbkOOA AOB AOOOS
Several leading newspapers are indus
trlously engaged in promoting the sem
timent which tends toward the organi-
zstion Of q new national party. The
New York World Of March "a con-
tanned nine short articles from men
prominently known as POpulists or free
silver men, all giving their views as
to the probable basis OF new party,
and the chances Of it's success.
OF course the main subject Of each Of
them was the money question, and they
are all for silver. Governor Tillmsn Of
South Caroline, who was elected by
Alliance men, but was never called a
Populist, says in his article, that q new
party is inevitable. A. j. Warner,
president Of the American BimetRllio
lesRue, takes occasion to boom Mr..
Siblsy for president. General Weaver
says il will bs an alliance, not fusion,
between the Populists, democrats and
republicans, II. e. TRubsneok makes
up his essay largely from the circulars
he has recently been distributing. The
other authors Of this collection are Con-
Rreasmen Sibley Of Pennsylvania and
Howard, Of Alabama, Tom Watson, Of
Georgia, Senator Butler Of North Caro-
line, and Senator PETER.
They oil favor the getting together Of
free silver advocates, but Senator PETER
departs from the usual style Of the
eight, and gives them some other ideas
10 ponder over. His article is az follows:

SPORT.

IL international sports between this
country and Great Britain have been I'M
dertaken with any intention of establish
ing friendly re,atlonc between the people
of tpe two countries, the aim of the pro-
motors has not been realized. In no sim
gle instance has the result of a contest
OF any popular interest been well received,
and in many the outcome has been a
series of controversies, examinations, and
r-ecriminations, Irritating even to men who
took but little interest In the contest
itself. Such ~drritations continually re-
peated amount to public aggravatlons and
70 far to cause a feeling OF positive hos
tRity IN the minds Of the people OF both
countries.
The existence OF the feeling Of irritation
must not lead us, however, to overlook
the fact that frequently the controversies
have been more personal than national.
In TIE present dispute over the contest
for the America cup, for example, II
woull be a mistake to suppose that Dun
raven really represents British sentiment
or opinion on the question. HIS charge
this week that bhe Defender syndicate was
guilty of sailing its yacht on a water line
different from that taken in the official
measurement, a hardly be laid to the
door Of a whole nation. In fact, the dis
patches report that several English pa
pers of high standing rave condemned his
conduct and have disavowed any belief
In the truth OF his statements. Dunraven
stands alone in the issue he has been
silly enough to make. 1t Is not lke.y he
will find support anywhere and his career
However great may be the popular irri-
tatlon growing out of international con-
tests and however. deep the aggravatlons
resulting from the bad manners and fool
hsh passions Of men like Dunraven, 1t
would be a cause of no little loss and re-
greet II there were to be no more interna-
tlonal sports. They arous the public
mind to an interest In athletic affairs as
nothing else does. The very intensity of
them Is wholesome and stimulating and
on the principle that 'It more stlrs the
blood to rouse the lion than to hunt the
hare" there Is more gained for athletics
in one international contest thar In a
dozen local matches In which people feel
only a languid interest.
1t Is quite possible, moreover, that the
irriIations themselves are beneficial. II
they do not conduce toward friendly feel
ings to England, they at any rate inten-
slfy American patriotism. Take them all
In all, our contests with the British on
land and sea have been good for us. 1t
would be foolish to drop them simply be-
cause DunNven Is an ass. Fortunately
There s no fear that they will be dropped.
We shan have athletes from Great Brit
ain, Australia, and Canada to compete
with us In every form OF sport for all
years to come; and We. without regard
to Dunraven's petulance, will continue to
welcome them and give them a fair field.
