 HOTTEST PLACE.
The Mercury Reaches 40 Degrees on
 the Persian Gulf.

LIoyd's Weekly: When we wilt, swelter and perspire under the af- hieting temperature of our hottest summer days. we have one unfailing consolation E hotter somewhere else. n one region only of the tes- restrial surface is such relief denied. That region is the hottest place on earth the unhappy area in which the agonized inhabitant is overwhelmed 8ith the fact that anywhere and every where else in the world the weather IS delightfully."- eool-by comparison. All will be glad 10 know just where the hottest place on earth is. Tn times past there has been much disputation over the subject. but the authorities are now agreed on the spot I am about to nafne. CuriousIy enough, this ter rft9ry Is not 8 desert, not Fort Yuma, not even the Arizona plains, although 3 poet well described them by deelar- ing that the lost spirits, wandering from their internal abode, stood on the bor- dars Of that region, with eyes blinded by the suns reflected glare. then in terror hurried back to their suIphurous lakes-to avoid tho heat. No, the hot test place in the world is, with all re- spect to ocean summer resorts. on the seashere. The region or maximum temperature is an extensive area on the Persian gulf, part Of the south western coast of Persia. This territory includes the Rahrefn or Ayal islands. June. July and August are terrific. un- endRrabIe save to the natives. and hid- eous# to them. Day after day the mer- eury will mark more than loo degrees in the shade. By day here I mean the diurnal tWenty-four hours. Think os 1t, 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 110 degrees. It hardly seems possible. yet it is officially declared that this frightful heat is not exces- siVe-fn that country. Often 10 de- 9rees in the shade is attained in the afternoon. The islands are little group. named after the largest-Bah- rein. They lie between latitude 9 de- grees 90 minutes and 26 degrees 8 minutes north and longitude 50 degrees and 50 degrees 30 minutes east. Bah rein itself is about tBenty-seVen miles long and ten miles broad The popu- lation of the group Is 75,000. The na- lives are for the most part Arabs, goY- erned by a sheikh, who pays tribute to the sultan of Oman.

FLYING ENGINES TAKE WATER
Tanks Are RepIenished While the Loco
 motive Is Making speed.


 On many Of the railroads centering al Chicago it is no longer necessary for a train to stop to enable the engineer to replenish his boilers with water. All travellers have now become accustomed -e eeirs the narrow trough. 1.200 to
 eg. at various dead level pom Ez the road and they know that strip of water which it con- tains 5 5cooped up by the engine as It speeds over the tracks. But people from foreign countries often ask ques- tions about the water between the tracks and marvel when they hear the story about drinking" the engine or the fly. What seems marvellous me chanical contrivance is an extremely simple thing. 4 pipe with a scoop end Is fastened to the tender. It is | shaped, with the top end pointing into the water tank and the bottom eurIea under the body Of the tender. By a series Of levers this end may be dropped until 1t reaches the level or the ties When the engine reaches the trough the fireman drops the scoop end, which Is 34a inches high and lz inches wide, into the trough, into which 1t sinks a distance Of about six inches or within an inch of the bottom It may wabble slightly without doing any harm, because the trough is Z4 inch3s wide. Dropping the end is all that is done, for the motion of the en- zine does the rest. The water rushes into the pipe and thence into the tank with rush and force that suggests to the uninitiated the use of powerful en- zines. "The most remarkable thing about the water-taking scoop, said a railroad official, eis the fact that the speed Of the train must be reduced when the water fs taken on. l. reaches the bend in the pipe with such force that fe the train were allowed to go at It's regular speed the metal would be seriously strained, so we reduce the speed to about thirty miles an hour and have the best results. While ths engine is passing over the trough at the rate of thirty miles an hour 1t takes up about 1 4.0e0 gallons of water about as much as would be contained h loo spirit barrels.

Told of a Royal Ind.

A writer in London Telegraph tells the following story about the king of Spain as throwing light on that royal lads life "One day, during his history lesson, the king asked his professor to tell him how Spain came to lose Chile. Mexico and other Spanish American colonies. The story was narrated so thrillingly and artistically that the royal boy listened spellbound and con- tinued after it had ended to sit ab- sorbed in meditation. At last a thougat having struck him, he looked up to his professor and inquired: What must I do in order to get back these countries for Spain?' The first and most inn portant thing of all replied the eau tious and diplomatic pedagogue. is that your majesty should-should- grow up to be a man. When you are & man lm!' muttered the lad, disen- chanted. 'wben I'm man it is not a history professors advice that shall be asking shall have prime min lster to tell me then"

Asphalt Pavements May Be Made from
 These Substances.

Asphalt Pavenents May Be Made from These Substances.
 The notice of making asphalt artf feiaily from herrings and saBdust seems so extraordinary as to suggest burlesque. Nevertheless, this sufpris- ing feat has been accomplished by Prof. ". c. Day Of swarthmore college. near Philadelphia. Specimens of the product are DOW in possession of the geological survey in Washington. and were shown to a Washington core epondent by Prof. Differ, one of the members of the scientific staff of that government bureau. Not long ago a very curious mineral substance, up to that time unknown, was found in Utah. deposited in veins which had once been Assures in the rocks. These Assures had been choked up by bitu- minous matter gushing from the bow els of the earth. and in this way the deposits of gilsonfte, as it is now called, were formed. It is a singu- larly pure species of asphalt, and fs now being mined in a large way, the
 
 portant industry. The stuff ta used for making varnishes For this purpose 1t Is especially good, because varnishes made of 1t will not crack Conspicu- ous streaks of the gflsonite run like strips of ribbon over hill and dale, so that they can be followed with the eye for miles. Some of this "gum asphalt" as 1t Is popularly called. was placed in the hands of Prof. Day for analysis, and he found that it's make up was such as to suggest an animal origin, at least in part. It is believed nowadays by scientific men generally that asphalts ordinarily are derived from vegetable matter. Such matter, being laid down in vast beds during the eoal-forming period, subsequently underwent chemical processes.

MORE BACHELORS THAN MAIDS
Unmarried Men Are More Numerous
 Than Are Single Women.

Than Are Single Women.
 From the Cincinnati Enquirer: It appears that people generally are greatly mistaken in their notion that there is an enormous surplus Of unmar- ried women in this country. The truth is that no such excess of spinsters ex- ists; in fact, it is quite the other way. the bachelors outnumbering the maid ems. At the present moment there are in the United States 2,200, 900 more un- attached males than females similarly situated, the exact figures being 5,427,- 767 bachelors against 3,224,494 spin sters of ages from 20 years up. Thus 1t Is obvious that if girls do not find husbands it IS not for lack of a plenti- ful supply of the article. What is re- quired, seemingly. is a general migra- ton of spinsters from the north and east to the great and growing west, in parts of which there are ten available mates for every maid. From the last remark, however, 1t must not be infer red that there Is actually an excess of NIA1G11A A1NA DO4AUA HI SA4C GOiil0Cl A d4A eastern states Even in those parts of the country there are more bachelors than spinsters 20 years old and upward. notwithstanding the theory to the con- trary so widely accepted No state In the union has as many maidens as bachelors-not even Massachusetts, where the figures are 219,255 spinsters. against 226, ,085 bachelors. Massachu- setts is the banner state for spinsters, the bachelors outnumbe-ing them by only two-tenths of 1 per cent. Next comes Rhode Island, where the excess of bachelors is 2 per cent. The ex- cess of bachelors in the District of Co., lumbia is 8 per cent, in North Carolina g per cent, in New Hampshire 9 per cent, in Connecticut 20 per cent, in Maine 37 per cent and in Vermont 54 per cent. In Maryland the bachelor surplus is 19 per cent, in New Jersey 1t is 2 per cent, in New Yock 1t is 26 per cent and in Virginia it Is = per cent. All of these are low percent. ages so far as the superiority Of bache- lors in point of numbers is concerned.

Process of Getting the Fruit in shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in a bunch, clip. ping off the translucent clusters ot nuscatals. arranging them utcn the trays to shrink and shriyel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicacy we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, a basking array of shimmering fruit. and some one inter- ested is showing the clusters together, that the tray shall be honestly filled. for the workers aro paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure il the dry heat the IL ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men. one on either side. placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this stage in the curing that the grape is most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun-w warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled. so sweet they make you long with great thirst for the red water tank sh1mmeflng ln the sunlight fe-ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is eloying with the sweetness. Tn another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 16o pounds, and as the ralsins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried 10 westinghouse. a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly. the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing-house to await the grading and packing.-Land of Sunshine.
