Highest and Lowe.t Te mnera+ur..

Highest and Lowest Temperature.
The statistics below, showing the
highest and the lowest temp
which man can endure may prove in
teresting. To begin with, the differ
ence between the highest and the low
est limits is estimated at $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. French troops in Algiers
must frequently march and maneuver
at a heat of LIZ degrees above zero,
A French professor has, during a stay
in the Sahara with a tribe of Tuaregs,
observed heat Of 1853 degrees. At
tendants in Turkish bath establish
ments work ten hours a day in rooms
where the air is artificially heated at
1885,, ITS and even to 1875 degrees Fab
renheit. A scientific gentleman in
Paris not long ago spent fifteen min
utes in hot air room of the Paris
Hannah, in which the dry air had
been heated by his order until the
thermometer registered $50 degrees
Fahrenheit. Issuing from this room he
plunged Immediately into bath filled
with water Of about So degrees, a differ
ence of almost 200 degrees Fahren-
heit, which his body passed through
in less than a minute. On the
other hand, man will stand greater cold
than any Of the other mammals. For
instance, the temperature during the
journey of Prince Henry Of Orleans
through the Central Asiatic highlands,
uy11 no rfu hoH r tn
Withstand a temperature of 40 degrees
below zero. The quicksilver in the
Thermometers had frozen solidly at this
temp erature, and even the alcohol in
the alcohol thermometers became thick.
Horses and camelss died from exposure;
while none Of the men in the party suf-
fered in the least. Turning to Ameri-
ca, Captain Burn once measured a at
Fort Reliance a temperature Of 20 de-
grees below zero, while Capt tain Dow
ron, at Fort Ran, saw the Thermometer
down to 8S below zero in the month OF
April. The lowest temp creatures known,
however, have occurred b in u Siberia
where a temperature Of SO below zero
is not uncommon, while at Werch O.
jansk a temperature Of SO degrees be:
low zero has been observed. III. 1T APP
pears, therefore, that men can stand a
cold Of 80 degrees below zero, while a
heat Of 100 and even $50 degrees Fab
renheit appears to be the extreme linn

NAL is known Which is able to resis,

Folks Made = Thin.

Neodesha is small town in Wilson
county, Kan, in the center of natural
gas belt. For some inexplicable rea-
son it seems to have. a greater pro-
portion of spare-built citizens than any
town Of its size in the entire western
country, and it is likely that the town
will become a popular resort for fat
folks who may wish to have their cor
pulency reduced. The general health
of the inhabitants of Neodesha is ex-,
,cellent, and there is nothing in the
surroundings Of the place to indicate
an unusual condition Of things or to-
prevent the accumulation Of tissue. But
the fact remains that stout persons
who reside there do grow thin, and
thin people do grow thinner. ~ =.

but merely an abbreviation. Among
the numerous distinctions enjoyed by
the extraordinary lady is that of pos

she often does on exceptional occas-

to fill 1t again from a kettle that was
