Deaths and Prostrations-ReIief Comes f%s.*- Toward Evening.

Deaths and ProstratiOns-ReIief Comes
 *e>- Toward Evening.
 New York, July 10.-Ten deaths and more than two score cases of prostra- tion resulted from the continuance to- day of the wave of intense heat which reached tha city Saturday. A grateful breeze from the sea served in a meas ure to temper the torrid temperature and excessive humidity, but the suffer- ing, especially in the swarming tene- Illent house quarters was intense enough throughout the day. The am- balances were kept busy rsmoving sum- struck patients to the various hospt- tals.
 At one o'clock the thermometer reg istered S9 degrees, two degrees higher than yesterday, and remained at this point until o'clock, when a heavy thunder storm with deluge of rain descended on Brooklyn, the lower DOT tion of Manhattan and suburban towns in New Jersey. The storm brought a sharp fall in the mercury which drop ped 13 degrees within half an hour, effectually breaking the hot wave. This evening the cool breeze continued, with every prospect that it would hold dur ing the night.
 The rain storm almost attained the proportions of cloudburst in the low CT section of Manhattan, and within ten minutes many of the downtown streets were flooded to the level of the sidewalks. Broad street, in the vicin- ity of the stock exchange, was render ed impossible. A torrent rushing down Broadway, Whitehall street and State street, poured into the new subway sta- tion at South Ferry, flooding the tracks nearly to the level of the third rail and for a time threatening to interrupt traffic by short circuiting the current. Ill Center and Elm streets many eel lars were flooded. The rain ceased within half an hour, when the flood in the street rapidly subsided.
 During the height of the storm the administration building on Ellis Isl- and, where there were 2,00O immi- grants, was struck twice by lightning, but sustained only trif1ing damage.
 In Brooklyn, flagstaff on the Bor- ough hall and several police stations were struck, but little damage was done.
 In Jersey City, lightning grounded the current on the main electrical power house and all street car traffic was halted for two hours.

This has long been known to be a beautiful double star. the conn ponents revolving slowly about one an- other in period of about 300 years.

The distance apart of the two suns. which we see when we turn the telescope on Castor is more thap 100 times as great as the distance from the earth to the sun. That Is. these two suns are more than a thousand mill lion miles apart, and yet they are so infinitely far away that to the naked eye they are indistinguishable and ap- pear as one single star.
