HEAT IN THE SOUTH
1t Was Destructive of the Boil Weevil
and of Cotton

Union Banner: During August the
Southern States along the gulf as far
north as Vicksburg and Memphis suf-
fered from excessive heat. This con
.tinued for nearly week and reached
its climax about August IS. There were
few deaths and few prostrations, but
the records of the thermometer were
astonishing, as the following reports
will show:
Shreveport, La, and Fort Worth,
Texas, where private thermometers reg
istered II3 degrees in the shade, fol
lowed Dallas a close second for the
record. Some of the other readings
were:
Natchez, Miss, los degrees; Little
Rock, Ark, 1oI; Jackson, Miss, los
Mobile, Ala, 1oI; New Orleans 100;
Fort Worth, Tex. rs; Sherman and
Palestine, Tex, Io7.
Many small Louisiana towns no.
As some compensation for this dis
comfort, it is recorded that it came at
the right time for the cotton crop and
that it proved most destructive to the
boil weevil,' but as the Union Banner
could have said, the heat was also de-
structive to cotton. The general ex-
pressions of individuals of every de-
gree of life would indicate that this
summer of 1909 will be recorded as hav-
ing been the most trying, not only on
vegetation but on human beings

WHITNEY TELLS OF TRIP
Only Man to Visit Arctic Regions for
Hunting Alone:

New York, Sept. IA dispatch to
the Herold from Sydney, N. S, says;
Commander Robert E. Peary arrived at
Cape Ray, N. F., yesterday on the
steamer Roosevelt
The schooner Jeanne, which left ST.
Johns, N. F., August 3, with fifty tons
of coal for the Peary ship, met the
Roosevelt in Wolstenhame Sound, north
of Saunders Island, in latitude 70 de-
grees "a minutes, early on the morning
of August 20. Both ships steamed to
North Star bay, where the Roosevelt
had the misfortune to go ashore. After
she had been hoated, the ship drew
alongside the Jeanne and discharged her
cargo. Before that, however, Mr.. Peary
and several of his party had come
aboard and obtained their mail and the
first news of the world for more than
| thirteen months.
On board the Roosevelt at the time
was Harry Whitney of New Haven,
who has spent year in arctic regions
hunting big game, the first man to go
through the long arctic night for that
object alone. He killed twenty-one
musk OK and arctic deer, but had no
polar bears to his credit. He joined the
party on the Jeanne, which left for the
west coast of Bafin Bay for a weeks
shooting, before returning to civiliza-
ton He had spent the long winter
night in sledging.
1t was by rare good luck the Jeanne
met the Peary ship, for if she had been
a day or two earlier the Roosevelt would
have been hidden from view in Ingre-
field Gulf, and the schooner would have
made the trip to Etah for nothing.
From Mr. Whitney the party on the
Jeanne learned that the Cook party ar
rived at Etah on April y, and, after re-
naming there FIVE days left by sledge:
for the Danish coaling station at TaSin
SAX, where they took boat to Upper
Inavik, thence the Danish mail steamer
He said that he had drifted on the ict
after making his dash north to Jones
sound and had sledged back to CapC
Sabine. He told Mr. Whitney he wa'
we'll pleased with the trip and had done
all he expected to, and more, having dis
covered new land in the TDrth and gon,
beyond the mark established by Mr.
Peary in 1906. 1t is certain that TIL
condition of his equipment when he ar
rived at Cape Sabine will be used as ;
basis for denying his claim of having
exceeded Peary's old mark, or made
as he declared, the longest sledge trail
Harry Whitney, who has hunted BIZ
game in all countries, declared tina
while he had no desire to repeat his Elk
periences, he would not have missed hi
winter in the north for a good deal. H
said he had three toes seriously frozen
fearing at one time he would lose them
but the simple remedies of the Eskimo
saved them His greatest inconvenience
was running out of tobacco for tw'
weeks He speaks in the highest term
of the natives of the unknown region
He has been away from civilization TO
thirteen months and the latter part o
the time without a calendar, and wa
ten days ahead when the Roosevelt cam
along His only disappointment was tina
he did not get a good polar bear Skin
and is after one of these now.

The English have a passion for geo.

discovery speedily flashed along the tele-

Hatteras was lauded as a martyr by all

stood nothing that was said to him; rea-
son and speech had fed together. The
only tie that connected him with the out
side world was his friendship for Duke,
who was allowed to remain with him.
For a considerable time the captain had
been in the habit of walking in the
garden for hours, accompanied by his
faithful dog, who watched him with sad,
wistful eyes. but his promenade was all
ways In one direction In particular part
of the garden. When he got to the end
of this path he would stop and begin to
walk backwards. II anyone stopped him
he would point with his finger toward u
certain part of the sky, but let anyone
attempt to turn him round. and he be-
came angry. while Duke, as II sharing
his masters sentiments, would bark flu
riously.
The doctor. who often visited HIS az
fiicted friend, noticed this strange pro-
ceeding one day, and soon understood
the reason for II. He saw how IL was
that he paced so constantly In a given
direction, as II under the influence of
some magnetic force.
