EFFECTS OF AWFUL HEAT

The unprecedented heat of the past weeE
has had frightful effect upon the health
OF Philadelphia, besides stopping all sort.
OF business enterprises, at least preventing
them from being pushed with that degree
OF enterprise that usually characterizes the
actions of progressive men. The city has
not known such heat since the establish
ment of the weather bureau, and conse.
quently the assertions of old men, who
never like to be outdone in anything in the
way of remarkable heat or cold, are looked
upon with that incredulous air they NO
doubt deserve.
Suffering has not been confined to the
poor districts, for those living in the choic.
est parts of the city have been affected
quite as much as those whose eallings fire.
quently innure them to climatic conditions.
Ambulances, hospitals and police officers,
have been busy caring for those who have
been suddenly overcome'on the street while
physicians have had great difficulty in
keeping up with the urgent calls made
upon them. While Philadelphia, which
has the reputation of being the hottest
Northern city in the United States, has
suffered, New York has had even a worse
experience.
From last Thursday until Monday, 191
deaths resulted from the killing torrid wave
in that great city and the end is not yet in
sight. The weather Bureau seems to be at
loss to account for the remarkable eli
matte state, and its predictions have of late
been so far from the actual condition that
the people are losing faith in its prognos-
tications. In the meantime the seashore is
enjoying an extraordinary business, as
everybody who can possibly get out of
town for nights sleep, does SO with
alacrity, caring nothing for business or its
rewards.
