HOTTEST PLACE ON EARTH.
Islands In Which u Breath of Coo
Air Is u Rare Luxury-NO
Relief at Night.

Undoubtedly the hottest place on all
the earth, it the testimony of travellers
is to be credited, may be found on the
Avail islands, which cover a fairly ex-
tenslve area of the Persian gulf, lying
OH the southwest coast of Persia. 1t is
the largest of them which enjoys the
doubtful distinction of leading all per-
spring competitors in the matter of
heat The mean temperature of Bahr-
Elm for the entire year is 80 degrees.
July, August and September are unen-
durable save for the natives. Night
after night as midnight comes the Their
mometer shows 100 degrees. BY seven
IN the morning it is 107 or 10S degrees,
and by three in the afternoon 40 de-
grees.
1t Is stated by veracious travellers
that q, 900 Arabs inhabit the Avail group,
FULLY $4,000 living on Bahrein. in which
connection Sir Henry Layard adds: 1T
would seem that man can accustom
himself to anything" The following
are the temperatures at some of the hot
test places in different countries:
Hyderabad. los degrees; Lahore, 1O7
degrees; Ell Paso, 113 degrees; Mosxl,
III degrees; Agra, III degrees; Death

grees; Fort Yuma, 1928 degrees; Jacobo-
oad, LIZ degrees; Bahrein, 40 degrees.

BACTERIA EVERYWHERE.
Much Time and Money Wasted in
Futile Efforts to Escape
the Germs.

Radium destroys germs, but radium
costs 5000 times as much as gold. If
a barber puts fresh towel under the
head of each customer he raises the
price of shave, says Golfers Weekly.
If he were compelled to sterilize his
instruments, to the degree undertaken
by one medical barber shop in Paris
his fee would approach the dollar mark.
Every man who smokes puts a generous
allowance of germs between his teeth.
Uncooked food, like salads, has the bac-
terra of the water with which it is pre-
pared. Not only are we unable wholly
to avoid the deadly germ. but many un-
doubted methods of outwitting him cost
too much in time, money or abstention.
Some there be who avoid cars. and 9TH
ers the public carriage. from dread OF
exchanging germs with occupants.
There are even those who, at the the
alter, prefer box because it promises a
species Of bacteria superior to what is
offered in the stalls. At the opposite
extreme are thousands who gayly drink
from any vessel, and many who by the
use of public towels and soap exchange
honest soil for insidious beasts. The
number of deaths caused by careless
ness probably surpasses the number en-
couraged by worry. but both are great
The best chance belongs to the man who
calmly takes what precautions are easy
and within his means, and omits the rest
without wasting thought. Secure in the
knowledge that death turks in every
flower" and hurts us most in apprehen-
sion, he is observant without timidity
and careful without anxiety.

rienced and observant foresters, the one
in Argyllshire, the other in Aberdeen
shire, thus gave their opinions: Deer
sleep or rest from about ten or eleven a
m. to four p. m.;;" Deer sleep from
noon to five p. M"
It Is not uncommon occurrence to
come on deer asleep; a stalker in the
Black mount had the rare experience OF
coming upon parcel of seven stays, all
sound asleep. A herd was seen to move
in Glenfeshie, but one stag remained be-
hind, lying motionless. On a careful ap-
proach he was found to be asleep. Per
hays, however, the oldest occurrence OF
this nature happened in Braemore, when
stalking party, on going up to the
stag which had just been shot, found q
three-year-old close to it fast asleep. In
fact, 1t is by no means rare to get within
= yard or two Of sleeping deer:

the balcony of villa in Rome, says the
Golden Penny, and near them, over
hanging the wall which separated the
villa from the adjoining one, were large
clusters Of ripe oranges. What pity"
said the little girl, that those oranges
belong to our neighbor, for would be
very glad to eat one" AS she spoke the
young priest ran down from the bal
cony, quickly climbed the wall and
picked half a dozen of the largest
oranges, which he fastened to place in
the little girls lap. At first she was so
dismayed at his temerity that she could
not touch them. but, with a laugh, he
assured her that he had not committed
any crime and that she might safely
eat them. A few years ago the duchess
of Bresci. an old lady with snow-white
hair, went to the vatican to pay her
respects to his holiness, and Leo, XIII.
received her with extreme kindness.

The ships of the Danish East Ash

Rev. Ifversen of Copenhagen, who

sees was so crowded with people that
the police could only with difficulty
keep a narrow lane up the center
for the pedestrians. The result was
that when the starting pistol was
fired those facing the avenue dashed
forward and took the lead, while the
girls to right and left of the line had
to fall in behind. In fact, process
sion was formed with ranks five or
six deep; those in the rear had no
more chance of forcing their way
through the solid mass in front of
them than they had Of flying.
But it was intensely amusing to see
how seriously the competitors all took
the affair With set teeth and clenched
hands, their eyes glued to the road
in front of them, they raced along.
l am afraid, if the ordinary rules of
heel-and-toe walking were applied to
the race. about 80 per cent. or so
would be disqualified. Many of them
covered the ground at a sort of gid
ing run, which was very far removed
from walking. But as they we're all
more or less offenders, it die not mat
ter much. There is no doubt about the
way they got over the ground By
the time the Ronde point in the
Champs Elysees was reached they
were all flushed; and when they got
to the Arc de Triomphe they were as
red as peoples.
AS there were $50 prizes, ranging
from a suite of bedroom furniture and
300 francs down to a packet of pic

while pressing on. Then there were
prizes for categories of all kinds

the stoutest and the thinnest, fo1

Found Dead.

A young man, probably thirty yeara
OF age. whose identity ia unknown, was
found dead beside the Milwaukee track
in Winona. The mans right foot was
crushed, there was b1:uise on his
right hand and his head was injured,
but aside from this he was not multi
lated. There was nothing about him
to show his name. He had $14 in bills
and change in his pockets and a pass
book showing that he had been en-
gagged in husking corn near HastingA
The body was taken to the morgue,
where it is being held to await the de-
velopments. 1t is believed that he was
trying to board the train and slipped,
for no other way can the police account
for the injuries and the position of the
mans body, which was at right angles
to the track. His death must have oc-
Cured in the early night, for the hands

WORK|NGMEN'S CLUB
Pretentious Building Being Erected
in New York City.
The Finest Structure of It's Kind In
This Country All the Com.
forts of a Rich Mans
Clubhouse.

The construction of 100000 club
house for workingmen in New York
points to the trend of the times. 1t
is no longer to be all work and no
play for the poor, or at least the
working classes.
Labor unions in various parts of the
country are building structures in
which to locate their Offices, and in
some of the smaller cities they have
constructed neat, though comparative
ly inexpensive clubhouses, but none
will equal in point of magnificence of
structure or furnishing the one now
being built in New York city. In many
ways it will rival the clubs of the
rich, and will contain much the same
accommodations.
The plans for this structure call for
building five stories high, every
| floor of which will be devoted to the
pleasure, comfort, physical and intel
