THE TORRID SPELL.
No Prospect OF Immediate Relief
From the Extreme Heat.

No Prospect OF Immediate Relief
From the Extreme Heat.
Excessive discomfort from the heat con-
tinues today and there is no immediate
prospect that featherweight clothing can
be laid aside. The temperature at noon
today had mounted 10 the 50 degree notch
on the official Thermometer at the Weather
Bureau. and continued TO have astral aspi-
ratiOnss This temperature is several de-
grees warmer than at the same hour yes
terday. when the limit Of human endurance
seemed 10 have been reached. The hu-
mltity. however, is not 50 extreme as thar
which accompanied yesterdays heat, and
is one mitigating condition that makes the
weather today sufferable
Wbbe no immediate relief has been
sighted by the Weather Bureau. conditions
are favorable for local thunder showers.
but these would afford only temporary
relief. as the temperature promised for
tonight VIII be very high.
TIE heat is caused by a general fan in
the barometer IN the north. and the form
ing OF an area Of high temperature in the
south. These bar0metric conditions throw
the winds 20 1he south and southwest,
bringing with them the torridity from a
zcls belt OF high temperature.
sun spots can be acquitted Of complIcity
ia the present conditions Of hot weather.
The presence Of high and low barometer
areas is conclusive evidence that normal
conditions are responsible. sun spots
would be mare ga-eraI in t,eir influence.
and eject a complete change In ordinary
weather causes. High barometer areas
would be continuous and would not be ac-
companied by corresponding area Of low
barometer.

American White Elephants.

AS humapitarian project the
acquisition of Porto Rico by the
United States will in the end be a
good thing for the inhabitants OF
the islands, but its value to the
United States is absolutely nothing
This is the opinion of Alfred James.
president of the Northwestern In
surance company, who has just re-
turned from visit to the island.
1t is not encouraging, but it is not
unexpected. There are some big
interests, such as the sugar and the
tobacco trusts, which will make
money out of the island. The conf
mon people, however. will find its
possession by the United States a
source of expense. Mr.. James
quotes an army officer in command
there as saying that the island is an
expensive white elephant on our
hands and of no use to us.
The most terrible thing for Amer
leans to contemplate. Mr.. James
says, is the evidence of loathsome
disease on the island. Numbers of
our soldiers fill the hospitals and
many will never leave the island
alive. He adds to this tha, there
are few, if any, openings in mer-
camille pursuits for all American.
That statement comedies with what
has been said on the subject before.
OF all the colonies acquired during
the present administration not one
has given an opening for the Amer
ican artisan or workman. In Hawii
the sugar interests use practically
nothing but coolie labor. In Porte
Rico sugar and tobacco produced
by peon labor constitute the mair
products, and in the Philippines
Oriental labor, the cheapest Of all
