If somewhat coarse sense of humor, his
extraordinary remarks on the things he
touched and saw, and his composite oaths,
in which no nation in the world except
the Chinese can rival or equal him, made
him an amusing study. Ills manner and
his language may not always fulfill the
ideals of European training. but once ac-
customed to his bluff most of which
is assumed to show his independence,
which he thinks ne has no other way Of
showing, we shall find him a first-class
fellow.
From my own observation 1 can speak
highly of the American as a soldier He
generally impressed me. nevertheless, as
being a person disappointed in life and
always on the lookout for a fortune.
When he talked, money was his only
topic. and when he could not talk money
he kept silent.
What did he care for works of art?
He had heard that some of the porcelain
was worth large sums, but he really
could not tell a fve-cent teapot from
thousand-dollar one. To use his express
sion, all the works of art in the world
were not worth a cent, and, anyhow,

JUNE IS BACKWARD.
short on Temperature and Almost
Even on Rain.

The records at the Weather Bureau
show that June has been backward in
temperature, and, unless to-day breaks
all records, the sixth month of 1901 Will
go down as a cool month. Nineteen days
mercury was below the normal while
only nine times was it above the mark
expected of it. The deficiency thus far
is 10 degrees for the month For the year
the shortage amounts TO 81 degrees.
The warmest day of the month was last
Tuesday, when Old Sol sent the quick
silver up to the 81 mark. This was an
exceptional day, and as far as the Their
mometer was concerned, there was no
reason for people to complain of the
heat. OF course, there were not a great
many who felt like the machine that
measures the heat. The coolest day was
the first one of the month, when the min
imum temperature was GA degrees. Yester-
day was not warm one by any means,
and the maximum temperature was only
SO degrees, with minimum of n.
While the rainfall for the month shows
a slight excess, there were fourteen days
during which not drop of rain fell. Out
of the other fifteen there were several
when there was only a trace of rain, or
less than hundredth of an inch. The
heaviest rainfall was on the thirteenth,
when 249 inches fell. For the month the
excesstis only SO of an inch, and for the
year there is a deficiency of LA inches
Showers are predicted for to-day, and
these figures may be slightly changed.
While June has been in a measure
backward the people would be content to
have 1t remain as 1t has been, in prefer
ence to a change for higher temperature.
That. however, is what they are promised
by the records and Observer Boyer is
powerless to help suffering humanity.
He could make promises that would not
be fulfilled, but such action would in
no wise benefit the public. The people
want the truth and the observer is going
to try and give it to them as he finds 1t
on the many complicated instruments in
the Weather Bureau.
So that they will not be taken by sur
prise the public is warned that It will be
much warmer next month, or the records
for thirty years count for nothing. July
has a name for being a red hot member,
and there appears no likelihood of its
losing it's reputation in 1901. This does
not mean that severe weather will begin
the first thing in the morning and continue
until Aug. l, but that there will be quite
a number of scorchers before the thirty
one days have passed.

siberia's Vast Area.

In discussing Siberia, statements
of dimension and distance confuse
and bewilder rather than enlighten.
1t is of small advantage to dwell
upon its area Of over 100000
square miles. If the forty-fye
states which compose the American
Union were taken up and planted
bodily in the midst Of Siberia, they
would be inclosed in every direction
by a wide border Of land. In this
border territory all the countries OF
Europe except Russia could likewise
be planted bodily and there would
remain still unoccupied 300, 900
square miles, an area twice the size
of imperial Germany. National

Gone of the curious spectacles of
the Sulu archipelago, in the Philip
pine Islands, is the grave where the
first sultan of the islands lies
buried said FL. F. Hopkins, a dis
charged soldier Oh his way to Peo-
IRA.
eft lies at the top of steep
| mountain about five miles outside
the little walled city of Jolo, the
capital of the Mohammedan people
in the Philippines, The mountain
is visible for a great distance. Ships
! coming into the remote port catch
sight Of it before another point of
land is visible. It attracts attention
because it is one of the BALD noun
tains of the Philippines-that is,
there is almost no growth. on it. It
looks like shaVen lawn In the dis
tanee, though, as a matter of fact,
there is grass of many years. growth
upon it's slopes, SO thick and high
that man can with difficulty make
a way through it. On the crest
there is one little tuft Of trees. They
look like bushes at a distance,
though one with an experienced eye
makes allowances.
II once formed one Of a detail that
set out to reach that mountain top.
We had no reason to make the trip
other than that it looked attractive
and hard. to attain. 1t was half a
days trip up the steep slopes, and
when we reached the top we found
a small grove, with solitary grave
in the shadow of the trees. It was
surrounded by little line of rocks,
and there were quite fresh pieces of
white cloth hung in horizontal
position above the mound. These
were kept in place by tying them to
tree trunks near by. Natives had
seen us laboring to our high posi-
ton, and had followed to see that
we did not desecrate the crave.
sFrom these we; learned that it
was the grave Of the first sultan Of
the Sulus, and that the cloth had
been renewed regularly since he had
been laid there as preventive
against evil spirits. We learned
later that there is scarcely noun
tain in the archipelago that does
not have its sultan's grave. /" st

Origin of an Old Saying.

In the sixteenth century it was
generally stated that spiders be
true signs of great stores of gold, "
a saying which arose thus: While
a passage to Cathay was being
sought by the northwest mariner
brought home a stone which was
announced to be gold, and caused
such ferment that several vessels
were fitted out for the express pur-
pose of collecting The precious
metal. Frohisher in 1877 found on
one of the islands where he landed
similar stones and an enormous
number of spiders. -Cornhill Maya
