England For 1928.

There is only one unfOrgetable vaca-
ton, a trip to England, through Eng
land and home again. Nine weeks of
travel can be had for 1925. and this
easy price includes the full expenses
of both ocean voyages. Bicycle clothes
and flannel shirts make up one proper
costume. The ordinary sack suit, with
long trousers, is equally serviceable.
The luggage for walking will be car
ried in a cloth covered india rubber
knapsack This is light, portable and
rain proof If the traveller makes his
way by bicycle he should nearly limit
his luggage to the dimensions of a dia-
mond frame case. The slight overflow
will be made into a thin bundle strap
ped to the handle bars or to the frame
behind the saddle. A "Stripped' wheel
is essential. guard and bell and brake
being of the lightest. The ocean trip is
made in the second cabin of one OF the
lines plying between New York and
Glasgow The cost is $50 single and
$50 for the round trip. The food Is not
poor, and there is abundance of deck
room. The time from dock to dock is
ten and one-half days, SO the total time
on water is twentyone days and on
land SIX weeks.-Country Life In
America

CLOUDBURST ON THE SALMON RIVER
Rushing Waters Wreck SawmiiI and
Do Much Damage to
Stockmen.

GRANGEVILLE, July 10.-The up
per section of the Salmon river basin
was visited Saturday by water
spout unprecedented in severity for
Idaho and which entails heavy losses
on stockmen and settlers. In the list
Of the property wrecked was the mill
of the Mckinley mine near Lucille.
The storm area covered a distance
of 10 miles, the eastern section being
at the Robe ranch a part of the Or
chard, number of small sheds and a
bridge were swept away.
The storm, it seems, developed about
$50 o'clock in the afternoon and came
from the west. Heavy clouds were
seen in that direction shortly after the
noon hour. but the Salmon river sec
ton, being free from violent disturb
ance of such nature, anticipated nc
cloudburst.
The tremendous downpour during
the brief period of the storms dura-
ton was remarkable. Within the pc
Rod of a few seconds dry gulches were
made teeming streams, and it is
therefore not surprising that along the
creeks with large watersheds mucf
damage has resulted.

CHOICE MISCELLANY
A Monster Thermometer,

There are thermometers and Their
mometers, but the largest one in the
world attracted hundreds Of people to
Jaynes & Co.'S store at the corner of
Summer and South streets. 1t is not
wholly a show thermometer, however,
for it works perfectly and marks the
variations in temperature just about
as accurately as one of the pretty all
glass indicators. From top to bottom
this gigantic thermometer measures
twenty feet. The mercury tube is a
little more than sixteen feet in length
and one and OnefOurth inches in diam
eter. Ten tubes were broken by the
makers, a Rochester ca. " concern,
before they succeeded in producing
this one, and the task involved great
difficulties. 1t was packed with care,
and every precautiOn to guard against
breakage was taken when it was I'M
packed and set up. When it was final.
ly in place ON the building the men in
charge breathed a sigh of relief. The
graduated scale over which the tube
is conducted is the work of some of
the experts sent here from Rochester,
the home of thermometers Of all
classes.
The manufacturers of the big Their
mometer say they know of no other
anywhere that approaches it in size
with the single exception of one at the
World building, New York, and that is
much smaller-in fact, is only about
half the size of the Summer street
temperature recorder. - Boston Tran

SAVED HIS COLE STICKS.

Clarence Waterman, returning from
Chicago to Honolulu, was in San Fran
cisco at the family home on Presidio
Heights, at the time of the disaster.
At one time when it seemed that the
fire would leap across Van Ness avenue
the family packed up their portable
belongings, buried the silver, and fed.
They came back to home, however,
which was untouched by fire. The
shock, however, had destroyed much
of the lighter stuff in the house.
Mr.. Waterman was in the destroyed
district during the excitement, and for
two days and nights was camper. He
tells of many humorous incidents. One
man came to the. camp carrying a
couple of golf sticks and parrot.
Another man had four hats piled one
on top of the other upon his head, the
only portion of his wardrobe, save the
clothes he wore, that he had saved.
Another man wearing a silk hat had
put 'For Sale" placard on it.
