Heat In the Middle West Breaking Re
cords Of High Temperature.
Washington, July 24-One hundred
degrees temperatures were common
throughout the great corn belt Mon.
day according to reports to the weather
bureau here. In various places all pre-.
vious heat records were smashed. There
appears to be no prospect Of relief from
these exhausting conditions for the next
two days at least, except such as may
come from the always present possibili-
ty of scattered thunderstorms which are
predicted for some portions Of the su-
pJrheated area.
Absolutely no rain fell in the corn
belt. In western Iowa it was q trifie
cooler while in the central portions of
the state it was warmer. There was a
little belt of high pressure over the
great lakes and another over the south
Atlantic coast, but it offers no prospect
Of relief in the west.

Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1901-07-29

A good story is told of n Of the dig
nitaries of the Scottish church. Before
he became known to fame he was min
lister of IL remote parish in Perthshire
and was not considered a particularly
attractive preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations We're made IN the
transept of his church, and these had
the effect of sweeping away c%onsidera-
BILE seating accommodation. One day
after the alterations had been effected
he visited the church to see how 1t
looked.
"What do you think Of the improve
ments, John?" he asked of the beadle.
improvements" exclaimed John in
disdain. They're no improvements at
a.. Whaur are ye goin to put the folk?'
"Oh," said the minister, 1--WE have
abundance Of room, John, considering
the size Of the congregation"
That's a very weel the noo," retort'
ed the beadle, "but what will we do
when we get a popular meenister?"

As there Is O than one way OF
cooking a goose, so there is o than
one method of teaching a dog to throw
somersaults. But the most practical
and thorough manner is to fasten a
cord around the body Of the animal
close to the forelegs, and two people
should hold the ends Of the cord on
either side of the unfortunate dog.
A third party armed with a stout
rope takes a position Immediately In
front Of the canine acrobat and with a
measured and mastery stroke fOgs the
floor at close quarters to the dogs
nose.
At each stroke Of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog spring backward the rope pass
ing uuder Its body Is jerked upward,
and, although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault Is ac-
Quired in course of time. An intelli-
GENT dog soon sickens of this order OF
things and throws somersaults with
out the assistance of ropes.
