Australians Remarkable Summer.

AS is generally known, the Aus
tralian summer of 1S95-96 was record
breaker in the way of great heat Some
facts that have just come to hand in the
way of government statistics kindly ar
ranged for the Press by II. C. Russell,
the government astronomer, of Sydney,
New South Wales, point out some Of
the more extraordinary features of the
hot spell which broke the record in
Sydney. That city's hottest day ranged
from 1916 at six o'clock in the morning
to 100 at ten o'clock, LOG at noon, 1855
at $50, when the breeze shifted around
to the sea and the temperature fell,
reaching 8s at six o'clock in the even
ing. Bourke, an inland town north
west Of Sydney, however, is the banner
bot town. with a record of 1877 degrees.
This year It struck 11e, and in January
26 days were above 100 and 10 above
10. Only Arizona and the California
deserts can equal these figures. Phila-
delphia may be warm, but it cannot
keep pace with Sydney.--Philadelphia

NEW SYSTEM OF FILTRATION.
Consul Mason, at Worms, Germany, Makes
An Interesting Report.

Consul Mason, at Worms, Germany, Makes
an Interesting Report
Now that the cities of the Atlantic
coast and those deriving their waters
from the great lakes are generally dis
cussing the subject Of filtration of
drinking water, special report from
United States Consul Mason, at Frank
fort, upon the new system of filtering
practiced at Worms, Germany, is very
timely.
The foundation of this system, which
is illustrated in important details in
the report, is the drawing of the water
through hollow plaques composed of
sharp sand fused with broken glass,
forming a porous material. The fig
ures adduced by the consul show a
wonderful economy in first cost, in
space occupied and in cost Of mainten-
ance for this new system as compared
with the standard sand filtration plan.
At Worms the two systems are worked
side by side, and a long series of an
alyses shows that in efficiency they are
practically identical so far as regards
the chemical purity of the water.
The percentage of bacteria left by
the plaque process is somewhat greater
than in the sand filter when the latter
is clean, but the water is certified by
high authority to be thoroughly purified
and fitted for drinking.

THE GERMAN WAGON.
An American Tourist Finds 1t Strange
Continuance,

Contrivance.
The German wagon is a strange
mixture Of use and discomfort and well
adapted to both. Being devoid of elias
ITCHY, a morning ride in one over the
rough cobblestone pavement is a fine
constitutional; it brings into active
motions all the members of the body,
and if a thorough shaking up is good
for one, then it is also healthful con-
trivance.
The body is coffin-shaped; the wheels
about three feet in diameter and the
shafts a single pole. what is the use
of having two poles where one will
do?" says the matter-of-fact German.
The lock is often in the most incon-
venient place for the driver to manage.
It is generally some kind of screw ar
rangement, placed as far to the back
of the wagon as possible, and if there is
any necessity for it's use the driver
winds it up something like hand Or
gan, and in many cases the music is
about as melodious. The attachment of
the motive power is indescribable; 1t
must be seen to be appreciated. 1t is
neither an attachment of love or
beauty; il may be one of usefulness.
The custom is for the driver to walk,
the wagon generally being so small
there is not room enough for the load
and his ample proportions. have often
thought in watching these wagons that
an appropriate motto would be to those
who sought to ride in them: "Memento
Mori."
If while walking along the street In
conversation with friend one of these
crude vehicles comes near you will inn
agine that 161 distinct noises have
broken loose. So excruciating is this
disturbance that you, of necessity, cease
TO talk, finally to think, or to use a
very common but expressive slang
phraze: ut paralyzes you"
The laws in regard to the right of
way appear strange to Americans. It
does not seem a mutual right the
equity, if there be any, is very one
sided. In this case the driver has the
advantage. If he happens to run over
you in the street he is the damaged
party, and If you are killed you are re-
quired not only to pay your own fu-
neral expenses, but pay the fellow well
who killed you.-Detroit Free Press.

A small, scantily- man,
accompanied by a tall, blond young
woman, are registered at the Hotel
Martin, New York city, as Reginald
P. Brook and Countess Gwendoline
Brook, of London. The hotel attaches
paid no attention to Mr.. Brook, but they
threw up their hands when they saw
the countess. She was attired in light
brown boomers, brown leggings, n
jaunty brown jacket, white sweater
and Tam O'Shanter cap. The bloom
crs were equipped with pockets, and
the countess" wore her hands in the
pockets. On her fingers she wore q
dozen rings, and diamond pins in the
shape of coronets decorated her cap,
and the front of her sweater.
When Mr.. Brook had registered he
told Landlord Martin that he desired ac-
commodations for the pets of the
countess.
How many animals have your
queried Martin.
THE countess" rejoined Mr.. Brook,
"has monkey, an ape, black Chinese
bear-very rare, by the way, the only
one in the United States-a tiger cat, a
tame house cat, a trained lemur, n
trained coatimondi, better known as the
anteater; Madagascar dog, Danish
boar hound, one grown st. Bernard dog,
and three st. Bernard puppies"
All these interesting beasts, with
their owners, had come here ON n
French liner from Marseilles. The land
lord didn't think he had rooms suitable
for the pets, SO a local wild beast dealer
was called in. He could lodge the
beasts, he said, and this settled, the
guests started out to see New York's
streets. Crowds of small boys soon
gathered in their train, commenting
audibly upon the countess peculiar cos
tune. The countess afterward eX-
planned that she is the victim of the
bloomer and animal fads. Incidentally
she likes to investigate life as it really
is in the large centers of population.
"You see," explained Mr.. Brook, 1--WE
are on our way to Australia, and expect
to stop in Texas to procure a small
grizzly bear"

Dollar Responsibility.

The preposterous proposition that the
sum of two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars spent some years ego upon ball
bv Mrs. Willie Vanderbilt will be ex.
ceeded by the outlay proposed for the
coming Mrs. Bradley-Martin ball, is'
thanks to Rev. DR.. Rainsfords g sermon,
one Of the uppermost topics, in church
and society circles.
The fact is that the balls aud other
swell events Of the wealthy set in New
York City are but coarse displays of ex
travasance, where the ability and will
lingness indulge in laylsh e1pen'
diture of cold cash constitutes tho sole
condition to preferment, and to which
circle no poet, scholar or soldier OF mod
crate means, though genteel and rein
ed, may think to enter.
At former ball grievous blunder
occurred, that will be carefully avoided
by the Bradley Martins. At the torm-
er ball the guests were requested to at
tire themselves in graments of the style
worn by their grandparents. The mis-
take was at once recognized, as most Of
the guests felt that to obey this require
ment they would haye to come as beer
singers, cooks, chambermaids, barmaids
and whatnot, thanks to the immediate
newness of their dollars gentility.
