We have heard a good many tough |
stories about the heat of Arizona.
Chauncey Depew, for instance, when be
returned east from his trip through the
territory, circulated that venerable rom
ance about the soldier who sent back
from Hades for bis blankets as he found
it too cool down there after living IN
Yuma; but this yarn from the KinRmau
Miner, is story which the doctor could
well afford to make another trip west to
secure: at is we'll known scientific
fact that the sudden evaporation of wa
ter freezes il. Yesterday while one OF
our citizens was watering his yard be
was both surprised and delighted TO OBJ
serve that the water was falling TO the
ground in a beautiful ICY spray. The
sudden evaporation caused by the in
intense heat had frozen it," We regret
the Miner did not add the further fact
that the accumulation of ice from the
evaporation so chilled the atmosphere
at Kingman that oil the flowers and
fruit were killed by the cold. When
you start in to tell good one, never
stop at little matter.-Express.
