Region Where the MONDAY Heat
Breaks the Thermometer.

From the Phoenix. Arizona Graphic.
The cottonwoods have shed their cater
pillars; there has been q thunderstorm:
mesquite wood has fallen in price; Indians
are selling bows and arrows: the rose and
the oleander have long been out: oranges
are in bloom; the umbrella tree is putting
out its leaves; last summers suit has been
cleaned and pressed; the small boy has
gone swimming in the canal; the wise man
stays up nights and steals irrigation water
from his neighbors: alfalfa is most ready to
cut: Strawberries have been shipped; null
berries are nearly ripe; summer will soon
be here, and the Phoenix summer bed room
will soon be necessary.
Phoenix sleeps out of doors in the sum-
mer and the bed room is born Of that
necessity. 1t is on stills; is built Of wire
screen Of fine mesh, for the Phoenix mos
quito is microscopic in size. 1t is furnished.
according to the taste of the occupant, with
Interior curtains. to keep out the morning
sun, the gaze Of the curious and the sand
storm.
The bed Is cot of canvas or woven wire,
covered perhaps with sheet. but even q
sheet feels like feather bed on Phoenix
summer night. The bed covering is the
roof of the bed room. and careless folks
who consult their comfort only don't wear
nightShirtS.
Phoenix Is proud of its climate during
eight months of the year, but 1t doesn't
! talk much in public about its midsummer
1t is a right warm day when the govern
ment weather bureau doesn't know what
the sun temperature is and Is unable to de-
termine 1t, and that is how hot 1t gets in
Phoenix. I called on Observer Burns one
day Lass July and asked him what the
Official temperature was in the SUM- He
said he did not know, and that the govern
ment couldn't afford to experiment to that
end. He said he had attempted to catch the
sun temperature during the summer Of $685.
and had broken So thermometer in the at
tempt. To please my curiosity he hung
thermometer in the sun, watched 1t until Il
registered 1856 degrees. and then took 1t in.
fearing it would break.
The dryness of the atmosphere relieves
this great heat Of any terrors to all living

American experts to organize and direct the

American experts to organize ami direct the
system and to train tho Cubans for efficient
participation. But the purpose kept steadily
In view has been to send tie smallest num-
Der of Americans compatible with these re-
quiremerts and to use the natives wherever
possible. The roster shows that there are
$50 employees in the postal service Of Cuba,
OF whom only 1O4 are Americans. and these
are chiefly In the department headquarters
and the Havana post office. There are 273
post offices on the island of which 251 are
in charge Of Cubans The remainder are,
for the present, under the direction Of
American acting post masters, who are in
structtng their subordinates and fitting
them to assume control AS fast as these
assistants become qualified they are made
postmasters and the Americans retired. In
this way the Cubans will have the benefit
of American methods, while holding the
service in their own hands.

Nothing Spectacular.


What struck one OF the special corre-
spondents with Lord Methuen's force In
yalilrd home was the uncanniness Of the
whole thing. There is no pomp Of war, no
stirring music. gay uniforms. and
strsugest thing OF all. no visible enemy
What you see from the standpoint of the
British staff Is a number OF men clad in
khaki lodging their way up the hill. max
ing for cover wherever possible Two or
three of them suddenly drop. perhaps one
gets up and presses forward again. The
others lie where they fell. dead sorely
wounded. AS the Beers always fire from
cover and use srnokeless powder. there is
nowhere sign of them. That he speaks of
as a circumstance more than all others
tending to demoralize the men.

OXERCROwDING THE CARS.
Adverse RecOmme Il ntiOn Bill
Pending In COnEress.

If the recommendation of Capt. Beach.
the Engineer Commissioner OF the District,
IA adopted by his associates. the Commits
sloncrs Will submit to the House District
committee an adverse report on House bill
1l143 to prevent the overcrowding of street
cars. The bill, which WIS introduced ny
Representative Bell. provides that 70
street car company. manager. conductor.
gripman. motorman or other person IN
charge of such car shall permit any per
son or persons. except such as can be
seated. or such az stand in front or back
of the seats. and shall permit no one to
stand between the seats Of such cars as
are tittsi up with seats running across the
same al generally used in open or summer
cars while such seats are occupied by
others
The bill further provides that any per
son violating the provisions of section l
of this act shall b. subject to a fine of not
less than $40 or more than $500 for each Of
fense. and the conductor, manager or street
car company any one all may be pros
ecuted for any violation of this act.
Captain Beach's Comment.
Capt. Beach says:
"The object of the bill is to prevent per-
sons standing between the seats of summer
cars while such seats are occupied by 9TH
crs. Investigation shows that there is but
little nvercrowding of the character speci-
fled and as 1t is believed that the Commits
sioners now have authority to make and
enforce police regulations on the subject.
the proposed legis alton is deemed to be
unnecessary.
In view of the belief OF Capt. Beach that
the Commissioners posses the authority. it
Is not unlikely that h. will submit to his
associates proposition to SO amend the
regulations as to prohibit the overcrowding
OF street cars within the District.

Curious Case of Writing Backward.
From the New York Herald

From the New York Herald.
The curious case Of the young lady who
unconsciously writes backward is another
one Of the many phases Of aphasia-a form
of written or spoken word perversion.
In the particular instance in question
there is evidently a want of muscular CO.
ordination in the so-called writing center
and the consequent misdirection of central
impulses. The disease. which is usually of
brain origin. whether functional or organic.
is somewhat of a novelty when 1t is not as
ISOLATED with one or more Of the composite
conditions Of full-fledged aphasia- Very
frequently, like other forms of this general
trouble, 1t is due to nervous strain. in which
case it's manifesto tons are Intermittent and
correspondingly amenable to treatment
Considering the causative influences at
work it is easy to believe that the victim is
entirely unaccountable for results. and is
even unconscious of doing anything wrong.
1t is from no lack of power in the muscles
themselves. but to the want of responsive
ness to their former habits. In the latter
respect the malady is the opposite Of what
is known as writers paralysis" which Is
a simple muscular inability to obey the
will.
