tube until it reaches the 120 mark
nearly every day in both places; and
there are weeks at a stretch when II
never falls below 100 even at night.
One can cook eggs hard by simply
burying them in the hot sand. The
MoJave Indians of the lower valley of
the Colorado river always go barefoot,
and the hot sands and stones have cal
loused their feet until they are az
hard and as insensible to pain as the
hoofs OF a horse: they can walk
through fire and trample red-hot Goals
without fiinching.
The extreme heat is due to the low
altitude, combined with the proximity
Of the Colorado and Mojave deserts.
For 1000 miles on the east, and 500
on the north and west, stretches a
waste Of sand and cacti With every
mile traVersed by the winds they gath
er heat, so that a cooling breeze
from any direction is an impossibility.
The man that traverses the deserts
doesn't wonder that Yuma and Needles
are hot. He only wonders that they
are not white hot.
Persons who can stand the eXces-
siVe heat find Needles and Yuma
health resort admirably adapted to
the cure of consumption, bronchitis
and rheumatism. However, most peo-
pie would consider the disease more
tolerable than the cure.
A year ago a pretentious hotel was
built at Needles for the purpose Of
exploiting the place as a winter re-
sort. It is all right in winter time,
but in the summer months New York's
tenement districts are cool and de-
Iightful in comparison. Electric fans
are installed in the hotel in every
room and corridor, and wide balconies
protect every apartment from ever
receiving the direct rays Of the sun.
At nights guests pull their beds out
on the corridors; but neither science
nor ingenuity has devised a way Of
making life tolerable in Needles in
summer time.

SmokeIess Coal.

A LSndon inventor claims to have
discovered . process for producing
GmOkeless coal, apparently by distil-
lation Of coal at low temperature.
This, after distillation, is said to de-
posit very brilliant substance, the
heating properties of which are far
greater than those OF the original
coal. and which is absolutely free
from smoke and dirt The inventor
contends that efforts to overcome the
smoke plague have hitherto been un-
successful because they have been
made In the wrong direction, aAd
that by the extraction Of the smoke
producing material in coal before be-
ing burned, be has been successful
in producing . smokeless coal.

has made him a man of practical
mind and alert powers of observation.
When the opportunity came he in
auguTated a program of travel which
sent him to many of the out of the
way places of the world and gave him
an intimate knowledge of affairs pos
sessed by few men even in these days
Of globe tTotting.
Mr.. Crane has set foot in nearly
every country on the globe, has pene-
trated to out-of-the-way hooks and~cor-
ners, has occasionally fitted out cara
vans of his own to explore unfre-
Quented lands, and is as much at
home in Russia or China as he is on
his home street in Chicago. He is a
linguist of considerable attainments,
is a connoisseur in paintings, a collec-
tor of old and rare books and, what
is more, a reader of the same. He is
prominent as a civic enthusiast and
for years has been a powerful factor
in movements for the advancement Of
Chicago commercially, physically and
morally.
During his travels Mr. Crane spent
much time in China, his business in
terests taking him into every prov
ince. He came into close contact with
all classes of MOngolians. In his
home is a large collection Of curios of
his many visits to China
In all his knocking about the globe,
Mr.. Crane was absorbing languages.
In his library in his Michigan avenue
home are books written in a dozen
different languages. They are not
sorted according to catalogues as a
less scholarly owner would sort them,
but instead are grouped under sub
ject heads. Friends of Mr.. Crane say
that when he wants TO look up a ref
erence on a topic he goes to his
shelves and takes down books in sew
eral different languages and reads
them without the aid of lexicon. He
is said to read II languages and to
speak with ease and fluency six OF
eight.
Five years ago Mr.. Crane added
$4,000 of his personal fortune to The
Young Empress Fund" for Russian
soldiers and sailors. This gift was
made through Count Rostofstoff, chan
cellor of the empire, and for it the
donor was the recipient of grateful
thanks from the empress. Long and
close contact with official and civilian
life of Russia has given him friendly
feeling toward that nation, but at the
same time he has warm spot in his
heart for China and the Chinese. The
feeling is said to be reciprocated. The
Chinese have been drawn to other
members of the family. Professor
Williams, uncle of Mr.. Crane, was pro-
fessOr Of Chinese at Yale and he is
the author OF book on China
Mrs. Crane was Miss Cornelia W.
Smith, whose girlhOod home was Pat.
erson, n. J., where she became the
bride of Mr.. Crane % years ago. Like
her husband, her interests are in the
more substantial things of life. Her
name does not appear in the member,
ship lists of any Chicago club. The
family has a beautiful summer home
at Lake Geneva. Wis, and another al

Arctic Dog Life.

MINISTER TO CHINA
Charles R. Crane Educated
Without Aid of College.
Has Visited Nearly Every Country on
the Globe and Is Master of Sew
eral Languages-WeH Ae-
qualnted with Orient.

Chicago.-Charles r. Crane, newly
appointed minister from the United
States to China, is a rare type of citi-
zen in that he was born to wealth and
yet may be classed in the roll Of self
made men. He was reared with the
idea that a college education is not
essential to the life success of a man
who has a brain of his own and uses
1t. His schooling ended when he had
done with the public school. What he
has gathered Of learning since then
has been from books and from the
world and its people as they have ap-
peared to him in extensive travel.
Richard T. Crane, Sr., father of
Charles r. Crane, is vigorously op-
posed to modern methods of education
as carried on in the great universities
and many of the public schools. He
does not believe these institutions fit
a man properly for the battle of life,
and says they are too theoretical and
not sufficiently practical He went so
far as to declare it would be a good
thing for one of the states If its state
university buildings were blown UP.
Whether Charles r. Crane shared
the educational views Of his father,
it is a fact that, instead Of spending
four years in college and winning
degree, he jumped at once from his
boyhood schooling into the workshop
and started the business career which

States army, grandson of President
Grant, the famous war general, has
been appointed superintendent Of the
state, war and navy building at Wash
ington.
Capt. John H. Poole, corps of engi-
neers, held the Office of superintend-
ent for about four years. He succeed
ed Rear Admiral George w. Baird Of
the navy.
Capt. Poole made many reforms and
improvements in what is known as
''the biggest Office building in the
world" and reduced expenses consid-
erably. He is relieved from this duty
to enable him to take a two-year course
of instruction at the School of the
Line at Fort LeaVenworth, Kan.
Officers Of the army corps of en-
gineers are eligible to detail to the
superintendency since the naval corps
of engineers was merged into the
line of the navy several years ago.
Lieut. Grant, the new supeFintend-
ent, since his graduation near the
head of his class at West point, in
June, 1908, has served a tour of duty
at the engineer school at Washing
ton barracks, and also as one of the
military aids of President Roosevelt.
For several months past he has been
stationed at Boston on duty in connec-
tion with the river and harbor works
