ninety degrees only on one day.
During July, 1901, the daily maxi

In connection with our subject we
can very profitably consider the
warm, dry wind that occurs on the
eastern slope of the Rocky Noun
tains. This remarkable wind is called
the chinook. In Europe similar
wind is known as the foehn.
The chinooks prevail when a
"high" is crossing Utah and a low"
is passing north of the Dakotas.
Easterly flowing winds result from
such conditions, and as the air rises

clouds begin to form, further cooling

source of the great warmth of the

WHAT CAUSES A HOT WAVE.
BY JAMES H. SPENCER, Observer,
q. S. Weather Bureau.

It is found that hot waves occur
only when there is nearly stagnation
in the movement of storm areas
across the country. We then ex-
perience the intolerable hot winds
and droughts that destroy growing
crops and greatly increase the NOR
tally in our cities. Active conditions
are always revealed by frequently
changing winds and by warm and
often stormy periods alternating with
cool, clear periods at intervals of
three or four days, as "high" follows

ter liked, and the guimpe can be
either faced as illustrated or made
of one material throughout. All sorts
of pretty laces and embroidered nets
are in vogue, while lingerie materials
in themselves afford almost endless
variety.
The guimpe is made with the front
and plain backs. 1t can be faced
with lace or other material to the
cross or between vertical lines of per-
forations or can be made of the ma
terial throughout as liked. The ell
bow sleeves are gathered to form
pretty puffs and terminate in becom-
ing frills, while the long ones are
joined to the deep cuffs. If lingerie
material is used it can be tucked or
trimmed in any way that may be
liked before cutting, but lace, net

The quantity of material required
for the sixteen-year size is one and a

be tried on before a mirror that
