II is believed on the Mainland that the
Hawaiian Islands are connected by cable
and that Geographic communication is
accelerated now by the establishment Of
the wireless telegraph, The American
Electrician has fallen into the error, as
shown by the following taken from the
February issue: According to press
dispatch, three wireless telegraph sta
tons have been established in the Ha-
waiian Islands; one at Honolulu, one at
Hilo and one on the Island of Lanai.
There is a cable connection between the
Islands of Lanai and Maui, and the es-
tablishment of the wireless telegraph

tire practicability OF the system,

PERISHED OF COLD.
Bodies of SIX Men Found by Party En-
Route to Nome.

NOME, July 10, via Seattle. Wash.
July ga tragic story comes from
st. Michaels. A party of men, enroute
to Nome, recently found the bodies OF
six men at a point near Cape Roman
off. 1t is presumed that they all froze
to death last winter.
The bodies were scattered at inter-
vals-five of them about half mile
apart. They were outstretched upon
the tundra and each was found wrap
ped in blankets. Each had some camp
equipment near him, but no food. One
of the dead men had evidently either
been dead or injured, as he lay on a
litter constructed of pair of oars and
a canvas sheet. 1t would seem that a
storm overcame the men carrying him.
Evidently becoming exhausted, they
had abandoned him and wandered OF
to perish where found.
Gen. Randall has ordered soldiers
to bring in the bodies and every effort
will be made to identify them.
Gen. Randall thinks they were a
party of prospectors who in an effort TO
reach st. Michaels had run out of pro-
visions and perished from exhaustion
and exposure.

high as 12S. The thermometer at S
a. m. registered 80. was 1O1 at noon
and at 3 p. m. broke the record at 104.S.
Hardly a breath of air stirred. The
suffering was intense, especially among
persons compelled to work outdoors
and the poor districts in the bottoms.
Seven deaths from prostration we're re-
ported during the day in Kansas City.
Mo-, and Kansas City, Kas.. and over
thirty people overcome by the heat
were treated. This makes the total
dead for the two days sixteen. Mos:
of the victims were elderly people.
The highest previous temperature in
the history of the Kansas City weather
bureau was 103, in August. 1896, but
1t only remained near that point for
one day. Today is the thirty-second
day in succession on which the
temperature has averaged above 50
degrees, and the fifteenth in the time
with the thermometer above 100.
At Lawrence, Kas., the State Uni
yersity reported the heat record for
Kansas again broken with the mercury
at 1865 degrees, the highest in thirty
four years. Farmers are still rushing
their live stock to market because OF
the scarcity of water. Today the local
receipts of cattle were the heaviest on
record, amounting to 25,500 head.
There was also a big advance in tho
