hut Excess Over the Normal Being
Pulled Down.
Since July the days have passed with
out inhicting upon the people the intense
heat of the first four days of the month.
The last few days seem to have had COM
paratively low temperatures, still more
marked by the contrast II has formed with
the sizzling fury that seized the mercury
in it's tubings of glass during the first
days of July. Had it not been for the
upward tendency of the thermometer dur
ing those days July would not now regis
ter a considerable temperature departure
from the normal.
AS it is, figuring with cooler days that
are now making life endurable with the
sweltering heat that ushered in the month,
the departure has been Is degrees up to
date. This excess over the normal tenn
perature for the month was accumulated
during the FIRST four days. the first being
the hottest with a mean temperature II
degrees above the average. July show
ed 3 degrees above the average July g. 8
degrees, and July A. 3 degrees. Then came
the cessation of the torridity. The fifth
showed temperature of degrees below
the average and each day since has been
slightly beiow
July . was the coolest day
of the month for II showed
a mean temperature of FIVE degrees
cooler than the average Of that day for
twenty-siX years.
For the last week the weather has been
much warmer in the north than In the
south. Prostrations from the heat there
have been frequent and many deaths have
been recorded. The hot weather north
has been the cause of the relaxation of
troubles here from the heat. Since the
beginning Of the intensely warm weather
north and northwest, the eastern states
have been covered by an area OF high ba-
rometric pressure, causing easterly winds
and nearly uniform temperature along the
South Atlantic seaboard. A lower and
uniform temperature always accompanies
continued sea breezes. During this time
the northwest and middle northwest have
been covered by an area Of low pressure
which has been accompanied by very lit
tie rain. Most of the rainfall has been
in very slight thunder-showers and in
tense heat has been experienced.
While yesterday did not seem unusually
warm, mercury went up to 50 degrees.

The trains to the island were crowded ali

eXcursionists from Columbus and Macon

into temporary sleeping quarters and was
filled with cots. proprietor Bohan turned

WAS A HEAVY RAINFALL.
Yesterdays DoyvnpOur Registered
Near IL Inches.


Near IL Inches.
The rain storm yesterday afternoon was
almost a phenomenal downpour for the
short time 1t lasted. The fall registered
was 13S inches. The first eight minutes
of the rain was particularly heavy, three
quarters of an inch being registered for
that time. A rainfall of 1.SS inches repre-
sents an enormous quantity of water. A
proper estimate of fan is very difficult to
the inexperienced observer. one would
think, to see the streets running ankle
deep, that more than an inch or an inch
and half of water had been loosened
from the food-gates of the clouds but that
quantity, falling as quickly as in yester-
days storm, converted the asphalted
streets into streams. The paved streets
do not absorb any of the water. All of Il
runs to the sewer openings. The large
area OF the house-tops adds TO the guam
tity thrown upon the streets and increases
the Illusion as to the extent Of the fan.
At all of the corners Of the paved streets
the water overlooked the ourbings, the
openings being too small TO admit OF all
the water finding It's way readily into the
sewers. The violence Of the rain was aba
ted as suddenly as Il began, however, and
the sheets OF water that covered the sides
of the streets quickly disappeared.
An idea OF the volume of water repre-
scented by an inch of rainfall may be gath
cred from the weight precipitated upon
one acre. This is ll2 tons. Until yester-
days rain the average fall for the months
of July was ahead Of what has fallen this
month. This condition was reversed. the
fall OF 1.3s inches bringing the month enc
inch ahead OF the normal. and something
ahead OF the normal for this years fan,
In which a deficiency has been observed.

The steamer Clifton took party OF ex-
cursionists to Daufuski yesterday after
noon. 1t was a delightful trip. The
steamer is very much improved since she
has had sponsors added to her hull, and
she Is as steady as a die. Her speed has not
been diminished either. She left her
wharf at $3.50 o'clock p. m, and arrived at
Daufusk at o'clock. Returning she
made the trip in one hour and half
against tide and wind. She has proven TO
be model excursion boat and is now con-
sidered perfectly safe In any kind Of
weather
AZ Daufuskl, the excursionlsts were en-
tertained by Mr.. George c. Schwarz. who
Is proprietor OF the Stoddard house. where
fish dinners are served in regular Carroll
ma style. The tide suited admirably FOR
bathing and many took a plunge In the

Daufush has been much improved since
