WEATHER AT WORLDS FAIR.
Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at ST. Louis.

Cool Nights and Delightful Indian
Summer to Be Expected at st. Louis.
+, Usually the warmest month of the
year. July proved to be n of the most
pleasant of the Worlds Fair season.
the average temperature being 81 de-
grees, n record lower than that made
by either Boston, New York, Philadel-
phia. Cincinnati or Chicago. The
weather bureau records show that the
temperatures in st. Louis during July
were just between the extremes re-
corded at New Orleans and St Paul,
cities located at great variance.
August in st. Louis is a month Of
cool nights, and September and Octo-
Der are the most delightful months Of
the year. 1t is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
tinent is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. a garden
of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tainS.
st. Louis, like all cities. experienced
several hot days during July, but her
highest temperature recorded was 93
degrees against "a degrees registered
by the thermometer at Chicago. On
the same day the mercury rose to 90
degrees in Philadelphia. and scores Of
heat prostrations were reported from
New York and Boston.
The relative humidity shows St
Louis to be about normal. Assuming
absolutely no moisture in the atmos-
phere to be zero and absolute wetness to
be 100, the relative humidities for July,
taken from the records of more than
twenty years, Boston shows 70.6, New
York T2.2. Philadelphia CSC. Cincin-
natl GAG. Chicago 66.9 and ST. Louis
68.3. The same degree OF heat in two
places. with different degrees OF hui
midity, would cause it to cen the
hotter at the point of greater density.
st. Louis may therefore rightly claim
to be a summer resort this summer,
positively one OF the most comfortable
and delightful places on tie map.

perature was down to 15o Saturday morn
ing and 120 Sunday morning.
The heavy all-night rain Sunday night
dissolved the snow and made a flood OF
water which pended as it could not soak
away in the frozen ground.
Spring weather in the 3Os and 40s pre-
vailed oil Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day. A cold northwest wave during the
night pulled the temperature down to

get over 25o during the day.

JacKSOnVllle ria, FoD. 10, 1914.
DEAR FRIEND WILL
When 1 left home l promised 1
would write you in reference to the law
prohibiting the shipping of shad out of
the state of South Carolina. When | got
to Charleston / inquired of the fish deal
ers there and they told me the law in
question had passed both houses of the
State Legislature. but that a protest was
made SO strong by the fish shippers,
catchers and dealers that the Governor
of the state had deferred signing the bill
till the Goth of this present month, which
gave the fishermen and dealers the priv
Hedge of operating till that time. I was
told in Charleston that the fishing inter-
ests of that city and Georgetown had
combined and are contributing to a pool
to fight the constitutionality of the act.
| called a few minutes to see the city
editor of the Charleston News and Cour-
Ter to see what he had to say and he told
me he never knew the state Legislature
of that state to pass a law it did not en-
force. I thought there we're some per-
sons in New Jersey who could endorse
the truthfulness of that statement.
Shad fishing in this state has been good
this winter. While in Savannah last
week / learned the catch had been pool
so far.
William ]. Bryan spoke here tonight
in an open square to some 10000 people,
| it was estimated. l will send you a copy
of a morning paper tomorrow which will.
| give full particulars.
This state is swarming with people
| from the North who have come down t.
avoid the cold up North. Trains from
the North and West still continue tt
come in crowded. Those leaving her,
are empty. To one from, the North il
seems that spring had surely come dowr
here.
Hoping you will find the desired infor
nation in this letter, l remain
Truly Yours
