IL the present weather continues. There
fore, the statistics below, showing the
highest and lowest temperature which
man can endure, may prove interesting.
TO begin with, the difference between the
highest and lowest limits is estimated at
2oo degrees Fahrenheit. French troops in
Algters must frequently march and ma
neuver at heat of 122 degrees above zero.
A French professor has, during a stay in
the Shara with q tribe of Tuaregs, OBJ
served heat of 1853 degrees
Attendants in Turkish bath establish

ately into bath filled with water of

grees Fahrenheit, which his body passed
through in less than minute.

OF Prince Henry of Orleans through the

forty degrees below zero. The quicksilver

quent. Capt. Burn once measured at
Fort Reliance temperature of 20 degrees
below zero, while Capt Dowron, at Fort
Rae, saw the thermometer down to So

The lowest temperatures known, however,
have occurred in Siberia, where tenn
perature of 90 degrees below zero is not
uncommon, while at Werchojansk tenn
perature of % degrees below zero has
been observed. 1t appears, therefore, that
men can stand n cold of 90 degrees below

ENTERPRISE OF THE AsToRs.

The Astors are about the only people
in New York who can afford to open up
street OF their own in the part of New
York which is most valuable, and soon
they Will do it. The street is to be made
by tearing down property belonging to
the Astors west OF the Hotel Waldorf at
Fifth avenue and Thirty third street, and
Will run from Thirty third street to Thir-
ty-fourth. The property that is to be
destroyed in order to make this street is
valued at 100000, .and belongs to the
two Astors-William Waldorf and his
cousin, john Jacob. At this point John
Jacob Astor is now building an immense
hotel to be called the Schermerhorn.
and William Waldorf is building an an
mex to the Waldorf. The agreement to
tear down property, enough to open a
street near the middle of the block means
that the Astors are not going to be COM
petitors in the hotel business, but will
act together as two cousins should.
These two hotels will be under the same
management-that of George c. Bolt
and will probably be known as the Great
er Waldorf.

curiosities in floral nomenclature. The
owner has been seized with desire to
label his flowers after the manner of bot

terms, consulted an acquaintance. The
result is more amusing than appropriate,
and proves the folly of wisdom where ig-
norance is bliss. Scientific names have
been affixed to all the flowers, but strict

A HORSE IN A BARBER SHOP.

A large brown horse attached to one of
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express wagons was
standing with the wagon backed up to
the platform, in the station of the Eric
railroad at Jersey City Sunday afternoon
when ferry boat from Twenty third
street came in. The horse took fright
at the boat as it was making the landing
and ran toward the narrow passageway
behind the station where the newsboys
kept their boxes standing, ready to 20 out
on the trains. There were number of
boys sitting on the boxes chatting when
the horse came along, and they at once
jumped up and began swinging their hat
and making an effort to stop him. The
horse made sudden turn and dashed
into the barber shop of the station,
frightening the BARRIERS and their custom
ers nearly out of their wits. The horse
stuck fast in the window, with his heads
and forelegs in the shop and the two hind
legs outside. He at once began to floun-
der around, and smashed nearly every
thing in the room, doing about $500
damages before getting so tangled up in
the harness that he fell over on his side.
One OF the BARRIERS, having more presence
OF mind than the rest, ran out and lump
ed on the horses head when he fell, and
kept him down until assistance came. A
man who was in the chair nearest the
horse, getting shaved, had narrow es-
cape from being injured by the founder
ing animal. The passengers who were
waiting in the station for trains were
greatly alarmed at the noise and confu-
sion which followed the runaway. A
gang of men from the railroad yards
hoisted the horse out of his predicament
with n fall and tackle.-New York Sun.
