An official temperature of 10S or
40 in the shade, which was reached
in several central
y,-,.., states during the
recent hot spell,
means a heat running ns high as 12s
for people engaged in their daily vo.
cations. The hot blast was like the
waves from a confagrat ation, every OBJ
ject touched was burning hot, and
the strain upon the nervous system
was intense. If such weather came
every year for several weeks it would
be necessary to modify habits to
tropical conditions. One store in
Iowa is said to have taken fire from
the suns rays streaming through a
plate-glass window, and the building
and it's contents burned with almost
explosive energy. 1t felt elsewhere
as if a lighted match might set
things, including the atmosphere, on
fire spontaneously. A broad section
of the country has been through this
visitation, which succeeded cool
spring instantly, and surprised the
weather prophets and scientists. The
subject of weather is still, in the
main, a mystery.

An IsIand of Cranes,

Away off in Minnesota, at that pop
ular summer resort, Lake Minnetonka,
there is a picturesque island which
takes its name from the fact that it is
uninhabited by man and given over
to the cranes. Generations back these
birds decided upon this spot for sum-
mer resort. AS time went on and the
surrounding islands populated, no man
had the heart to disturb them, until
now Crane island is pointed out from
passing boats as one of the curiositiss
of the northwest.-Albany Argus.

The Coming Engineer.
The engineer of the twentieth CEN
tury will have need of all the knowl-
edge education can bring. The nine
teenth century SKINNED the cream of
invention; what was on the surface
has been appropriated. James Watt
made it impossible anyone should
have quite so brilliant a record as
himself, and yet his master stroke of
invention, the separate condenser, did
not need abstruse scientific attain
ments, although Watt was essential
ly scientific in his methods. So each
successful worker in the field of in
vention does something to exhaust
the soil and render needful higher
fertilization for further productive

ly being opened out, and, to con-

Any careful observer must have

Any careful observer must have
noted how much more popular recre-
alton has of late be-
come among the
ins no" y" i"'' American people.
The Saturday half-holiday is more
general and vacations are longer and
more INDUCED in by all classes. And in
addition to these, excursions and days
off" are more frequent and popular
than formerly, says the Philadelphia
Press. Some one "handy at figures"
has estimated that 100000 in the
United States will take a vacation this
summer, and that on an average each
one will spend ten dollars. This would
make total of S1OO,OO0,000 spent for
rest and recreation. 1t is proba BILE that
the figures are too small. Leaving out
the rich and leisure class, to whom
time and money is no object, at least
one in each seven of aM the people in
this country will enjoy vacation this
SUMMER, extending from five to 80
DAYS. This would mean rest for over
100000 people, and if they spend
only $12 each. about $15O,OOo,OOO will be
used in gaining rest and recreation.
1t is time and money well spent. No
investment made in the whole year
brings in larger returns. 1t is one of
the causes which are adding percepti-
bly, to the span of life. The lengthen-
ing of this span has become so evident
that a revision of the old tables of the
expectation of human life has been
made necessary.
