THE HOT WAVE.

The hot wave passing over the country
for the past few days is unprecedented in
the history of the Weather Bureau. The
loss of life throughout the country from
prostratlon has been very large.
curious incident, caused by the heat
wave, was observed by number of per-
SONS in the harbor of New York Bay on
Thursday. 1t was the weird decisions
of mirage such as are seen on the
deserts when the oasis is pictured to the
famished traveller who follows the illusion
for miles and miles with the vain hope of
relief for his burning thirst and parched
skin.
Thousands watched the strange atmos-
pheric phenomenon from excursion craft
and pleasure yachts plying the lower
bay, and not few were perplexed by the
general aspect of things. Surrounding
highlands and low sandy beaches were
so changed in conformation that old
landmarks were lost, and in their places
strange and grotesque forms were pre-
seuted to view. The movement of the
heat wave was from the southeast. Its
presence was first noticed when the hull
of large freight steamer out at sea
swelled to the proportions of half a
dozen Oceanics, and then gradually
folded up until it lay fiat on the ocean
like a mammoth raft. AS the stratum
of hot air hung close to the surface ofthe
sea, every craft at a distance of two
miles or more was shorn ofsuperstructure
or sails, and left with nothing but q
mishapen hull. AS the wave proceeded
toward the Long Island shore the low
dancing pavillons and bathing houses OF
Coney Island were slowly lifted from the
sea until they assumed the proportions
OF skyscrapers, and the beach was trans
formed into mighty breastwork which
appeared fully so feet high.
The passage of the wave over particrS
lar spot was like the blast from a furnace
The mercury leaped up the thermometer
tube several degrees and then as sudden
| ly fell back again to the normal.

were rendered at the Perryman Hall last
Friday evening. The children, as usual,

diploma to Miss Annie Yarnall, the only
graduate. Miss p NJ Hutton, the prin-
cipal of the school, went to her home at
High Point on Saturday. Miss Helen
Taylor, the assistant, isstill with friends

cepted a position with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company at Washington, went
to his post on Monday.

IL, Abingdon, were opened and the con-
tract awarded to Orsburn and Steele for
$1,O14.
Commissioner Jarrett and Examiner
Galbreath made report upon the ad-
visibility of creating new district south

irons had agreed to fulfil, not having
been properly presented to the Board,
definite action was postponed until July
10.
Mr.. o. c. Michael was before the Board
urging the building of a larger vestibule
at 1-2, Aberdeen. He was requested to
get an estimate and consult with Com
missioner Baker.
An offer from Mr. St. Clair Hess. in
which he bespoke material assistance
from the patrons of "a, Rutledge, was
placed before the Board and carefully
considered. While the overcrowded con-
ditions of the old house and the conse-
quent inconvenience were fully appre-
ciated, the financial outlook at pres
ent rendered it inadvisiblef for the propos-
ed improvements to be made.
Mr.. c. T. Wilson appeared before the
Board in regard to selling the Lodge
building at Lapidum, 1872. A PROPOSE
ton was made by the Board, which Mr..
Wilson was given the right to accept or
reject, after further investigation.
The Examiner was authorized to sell
the old schoolhouse at Abingdon at
public auction.

Jim Sank Awakes From His Letharsy.

BUSH RIVER NECK, July 2.-Our farm
ers are into their wheat harvest like a
Dutch butcher in a hog pen. This has
been the latest harvest since way back in
the sixties. The crop both straw and
grain is abundant Owing to old Sol
however, who has shed forth his rays
throwing them down upon us at the rate
of about 900 pounds to the acre; it
has been so hot that neither man nor
beast could stand the pressure. Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday have been the hot
test of the hottest and the worse we have
had for many years, so say our Oldest
residents.
Childrens' Day was observed last Sun
day at Garrettson's Church, which was
filled to the overlooking. The little folks
acquitted themselves in an interesting
and impressive manner. The altar of the
church was beautifully decorated with
cut and potted flowers and with the
bright garments of the ubiquitous sum-
mer girl the scene presented handsome
picture. Rev. Mr.. Barnes delivered an
address.
We are now being daily greeted by the
many warm hearted candidates. No
doubt Some of them will shortly dis
cover that their labors might have been
expended in other directions more profit
ably, but so the world goes.
