|ORDINARY THERMOMETERS
BURST WITH HEAT.
NO RELIEF IN SIGHT
Another Day Passes Without
Rain in Great Corn
Belt.

Washington, July 22-One hundred
Throughout the great corr belt today,
according to reports of the weather
bureau here. In various places in
\ Illinois, Iowa and other states, all
previous records were broken. There
appears to be no prospect Of decided
'prelief from these conditions for the
NEXT two days at least, except such as
may come from the always present
possibility of scattered thunderstorms
which are prediced for some portions
OF the superheated area. Dry thun-
der storms, unaccompanied by rain,
prevailed today in several sections of
the west, hundreds of miles apart.
They temporarily cooled the atmos-
phere, but brought no relief to fam
ishing crops.
Absolutely no rain fell in the corr
belt according to official reports re.
ceived here. In western Iowa it was
a trif1e cooler today, while in the cen
trail portion of the state it was warm
er. There is a little belt of high pres
sure over the great lakes and another
over the south Atlantic coast, but they
offer no prospects of relief in the west,
SO long as the continued low pressure
remains in the northwest. Warm
weather again was general through
out the entire country, except on the
Pacific coast. In the east the temper.
AZURE, while high, did not approach
anywhere the extremes prevailing in
the west, and a recurrence Of the hot
wave of two weeks ago is believed 10
be unlikely on the Atlantic coast.

10 p~rostrations are the record of to-
days heat in Topeka. The thermom-

been three degrees higher during the
heated season, but humid air made
today the most oppressive of the year.
Most active work was stopped. The
Kansas river is very low but the sup
ply of water in the city mains is yet
plentiful. From numerous places in
Kansas come reports tonight Of in
tense heat and much resulting dam
age. Slight showers fell this evening
in some regions, but the larger part
# the state is still parched by the
terrible heat. In some parts of the
state the temperature was as high as
109, with considerable humidity. The
hopeful estimate of the probable corn
yield has fallen from half a crop to a
quarter of a crop. Many counties re-
port a total loss.
