HOTTEST PLACE.
The Mercury Reaches I4o Degrees On
 the Persian Gulf.

Lloyd's Weekly: When we wilt, swelter and perspire under the af- aieting temperature of our hottest summer days, we have one unfailing consolation-it is hotter somewheHa e1se Iu one region only of the te.- restrial surface is such relief denied. mat region is the hottest place on earth-.the unhappy area in which the agonized inhabitant is overwhelmed with the fact that anywhere and every where else in the world the weather i8 delightfully cool-by comparison. Att will be glad to know just where the hottest place on earth Is. h times mast there has been much disputation over the subject. but the authorities are now agreed on the spot 1 am about to name. Curiously enough, this ter ritory is not a desert, not Fort Yuma, not even the Arizona plains. although q poet well described them by deelar. ing that the lost spirits, wandering from their internal abode. stood on the Dor. defs of that region. with eyes blinded by the suns reflected glare. then in terror hurried back to their sulphuroua 1akes-to avoid the heat. No, the hot. test place in the world is, with all re- sYaet to ocean summer resorts, on t seashore. The region of maximl temperature is an extensive area oa the Persian gulf, part of the south western coast of Persia This territory includes the Bahrein or Ayal islands June. July and August are terrific, un- endHrable save to the natives. and hid eous to them. Day after day the mer- ourv will mark more than 100 degrees in the shade By day here mean the diurnal twenty-four hours. Think Of it. you who look with fearful eyes on the thermometer that registers 100 de- grees at noontime. Imagine the horror of striking match at midnight and reading f10 degrees. IL hardly seems possible yet it is officially declared That this frightful heat is not exee5- sive-in that country. Often 1f0 de- grees in the shade is attained in tha afternoon. The islands are little group. named after the largest-Bah- rein They lie between latitude . de- gfees 30 minutes and 26 degrees 90 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees and 50 degrees 3G minutes east.s Bah rein itself is about twenty-seveg0ntel long and ten miles broad. The pspa- lation Of the group is 75.000. The n3- tiYes are for the most part Arabs. goY- erned by sheikh5 who pays tribute D the sultan Of Oman.

Yield of Gold in the TransvA~i.

The latest published returns show ing the yield of gold in the Transyaa! are said in London 10 be eminently satisfactory to those persons financial Iv interested in the Rand. The entire Transvaal yield i'll June was 467,27l ounces. or 819 ounces better than in the preceding month. the latter return be- ing the previous best on record. So far this year each monthly return since February has been over 100000 ounces better than the corresponding yield in 1898. In fact. up to date. the 1889 yield is some 625, 900 ounces above the showing the corresponding period in 1898. Here are the total yields Of the Transvaal since 1891, when the records showed 2,024, 159 ounces: In 1895, 2.277, ,635 ounces; 1896, ,. .280, ,SS5 ounces; 1897. 3.034, HI ounces. and 1898. 4,o5o,- 600 ounces. London financiers do not deem it possible that this extraordin- ary showing can be maintained throughout the year. owing to the dis turbed political situation and particu- larly to the fact that the exodus Of labor from the Rand seems to be as suming serious proportions.

SPECULATE IN HISTORIC SPOTS
What ths Birthplace Of Famous Msn
 Are Worth as a Business.

Last year no fewer than 36, 900 peo- pie passed the turnstiles which guard the entrance to the little room Tn which Burns first saw ths light. In 1896, the centenary year of Burns
 death, the number reached 38 900, and as pence is demanded from each Yis- itor very simple calculation will show what large sum of money is annually obtained by this means. The cottage IS a very humble, one-storied little erection, with a thatched roof. and the poets father. when he first went to live there, would have opened his eyes pretty widely had anyone been able to tell him what a sum was one day to be received for il. The place was bought from him (after the poet $ death) by corporation of shoemakers, Who afterward sold it to the present trustees for s30, 600. Another famous birthplace which attracts large num- Der or people is that of Thomas Car lyle at Eeclefeehan, which is twenty or thirty miles north of Carlisle. There Is no fixed scale of charges for visiting this cottage, but as 1.205 people climbed the stairs last year and each probably left something with the care- taker it will be easily seen that here too, is nice little property There are other places, more or less we'll known, scattered about in different parts of England and Wales, which the tourist often visits. Shakespeare is still veritable little gold mine to Stratford-on-Avon. People from all parts of the world make pilgrimages to the little Warwickshire town in order to see the famous poets birth place. The charge for admission to the house is pence, but as an interest ing museum is usually visited at the same time, for which an extra 6 pence Is demanded, few persons leave the building without leaving 1 shilling be- hand them. Then there is Ann Hatha- ways cottage to be also seen. This is mile away from Stratford, at the pretty little village of Shottery, and 1t is where the poets wife was wooed and won. The writer, during a recent visit to 1t, was informed that on an average 100 people a day all the year round came to see the cottage. and as each visitor pays 6 pence $500 or si,000 a year must be made out Of it.

WONDERFUL cEvsER AT WORK
California spouter That Throws water
 500 Feet In the Air.


 From the Scientific American: me people of southern California have re- centfv been favored with one Of the
 most extraordinary exhibitions of nat ural phenomena on reeord-one which has even astonished beyond measure ment all classes of community Ia miliar already with instances ot what nature can accomplish when 1t sets out to do something out of the common Southern CaIifornians are so used to shocks of earthquakes incipient volca- noes, or threatened tidal waves that IL takes something extremely eruptlVe to disturb their ordinary c0mPosHfe, put the successful effort of rural raneneF in his search for water with which to irrigate his fields. parched with long drouth. has turned the gaze of the whole state toward the little town ot Whittier,a a hamlet located in the neigh borhood Of Los Angeles. Some weeks ago farmer named Myers. living at Santa Fe Springs, began sinking an ar tesian we'll. Others in the neighborho0d had successfully tapped subteffanean flow at depths of from 300 to 400 feet, and MT. Myers hoped for successful issue to his enterprise. By slow stages the drills descended until a depth of 300 feet was attained. This was on Sun day, May H. 4 drill weighing 200 pounds was employed and the prospect of tapping a good flow of water was be- coming more and more encouraging. 4 ten-ineh pipe had been sunk some dis tance, and the usual preparations made for controlling the flow when it did make it's expected appearance. The heavy drill was working with it's usual monotonous regularity, when. after one deep plunge, a loud roaring sound was heard coming from the well, aceompa= nied by jets of muddy water and out bursts of heavy stones. Soon after the drill itself made it's appearance. fol- lowed by a grand column of water. which forced itself higher and higher until the top reached an elevation of 500 feet. The flow was accompanied by vast quantities of gas smelling of sulphur strongly and igniting when fire was applied. burning with a strong blue flame. Oil In considerable quan= titles was mixed with the flow The stones were thrown to an equal height with the water and the exhibition of tremendous force was appalling to the last degree. No geyser of the Yellow stone ever displayed such activity The column of muddy water was like q great pillar. extending almost to the clouds and falling back to earth again in graceful festoons. The force ex= erted was equal to thousand powerful engines. For two weeks this phenome- non has been active. though some diminution of the force exerted is be- ginning to be apparent The flow of water is enormous, and. the country being flat, some difficulty is sppre- hended in it's control.

Two Fine Old Oak Trees.

Raleigh, N. O., has the largest pair of oak trees in the United States, when symmetry of trunk and top is ta- ken into consideration They stand 300 yards north of the capitol in the spacious grounds of the "see house" of the Episcopal diocese. There is practically no difference in their di- mensions. The diameter of trunk at the ground level is nine feet, and six feet higher up is seven and one-half feet. It is thirty feet from the ground to the first limb. The branches radi- ate in the most symmetrical manner and cover a space of ITO feet in diam eter. The height of the oaks is ninety eight feet. Their trunks are not ir- regular or roughly buttressed. They are red oaks and their age is estimated at 500 years. Their vitality is per feet.

FIEs GERMANY OF THAT.

American Admiral Authorized to
Uphold Decision of Two of the
Powers Only in Cases of Emer-
gency-Adiudication Of All Affairs
in Samoa VIII Require Concur
renee of Three Powers.
Berlin March 2S.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has obtained
on the highest authority at this capital
the following explanation of feature Of
the Samoan question which has lately
arisen.
On the report that the American gov
eminent has cabled to its admiral at
Samoa to act in accordance with the de-
cision of two out of three of the represen-
tatives Of the powers, the German govern
ment made earnest representation to the
American ambassador here, Andrew D.
White, that the Berlin treaty requires the
concurrence OF the three Powers and call
ed attention to the dangers which were
sure to arise if there was anything like
violation of the treaty.
The American government made frank
and conciliatory answer, which has caus-
| cd much satisfaction here. 1t recognized
| the necessity for unanimity upon the part
Of all three Powers under the treaty, as a
condition of any settled policy or perma-
nent action, and declared the admiral was
only authorized to act in agreement with
majority of the representatives of the
| Powers in a case of emergency, which alb
solutely does not admit of delay. But In
such a case the ratification or adjustment
by the unanimous vote of the three Pow
ers must be sought at the first possible
moment, and no permanent arrangement
can be made without such unanimity.
The American government, it is added
cabled to it's representatives in Samoa to
pursue the most friendly and concillatory
policy toward the German representatives
| and German interests, carefully avoiding
everything likely to be misconstrued OF
| to create i'll will. +a
| In consequence of the stories regarding
Mataafa having sanctioned sectarian ty-
ranny, the German government assured
Mr.. White that all its influence would be
exerted against interference with the re-
ligion of any sect.
