SUMMER DAY
 SAID OLD TIMERS
The Old Residents Basked in the Sun shine, But the Stray Tourists
 Complained of Being Warm.

In the language of the old resident of Arizona, yesterday was a "balmy summer day." a more recent arrival referred to it as pretty darned ca loric," while a stranded tourist spoke of the day in the same terms that General Sherman used in his terse but expressive description of what war is.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon the mercury stood at 111-just three de grees under the record for this sum. mer. At 2 a. m. it was 80, but by 4 o'clock in the morning the 75 degrees seemed rather chilly. It dropped to "A at o'clock and then began to the desert over by Mesa. At a. m. it was SS; at 10. 101; and at noon. 106. At 2 D. m. the temperature was 10S; at ?. 1O9; 4. Ill; and ,, no again.
 One year ago yesterday the temper ature was 1O2. The highest record for July in any year was 116 in 1905. The excess in temperature yesterday was three degrees. This does not mean that the average maximum for the day is los. The average maximum for July is about 104. The excess or deficiency of temperature is calcu- lated from the average of the maxi mum and minimum of temperatures not from the maximum alone.

YACHT MOHAWK
HAS BEEN SOLD
Navy DispOses of the Old
Fatal Craft.

Coincident with the announcement
in New York that the famous old
Garner estate, valued at more than
15,000,6 00, win go entirely out of
business, was the recent sale by the
Navy Department of the schooner
syacht in the capsizing of which off
Staten Island in 1875 William 7.
Garner and members of his family
lost their lives.
This vessel, which was built in
1875 at Brooklyn for a Mr.. Carpen-
ter, at a cost of $12, 600,%as named
the Mohawk. She was purchased
by the Coast and Geodetic Survey in
1873 and renamed the Eagre, under
which name she was sold for $1,276
to the Coastwise Dredging Company
of Norfolk. An interesting feature
of the fatal accident was that Miss
Edith May, who was rescued, later
became the wife Of William c.. Whit
ney, who was Secretary of the Navy
from 1885 to 1889, The Eagre was
transferred to the navy by the Coast
and Geodetic Survey on July 81,
1909.
Another navy vessel, the gunboat
Bennington, which also figured in a
fatal accident, was sold by the Navy
Department recently, 1t was on
board this vessel that seventy men
lost their lives in a boiler explosion
In July, 1906. The Bennington was
seffd to Mr.. s. Lichtenstein, of Oak
land, Cal, for $11,250.

COMPTON NOT
OUT OF SPORT
Local Exeter Student Will
Recover from Injuries.

1t has been learned that Lewis
Compton, the local Exeter student
who was injured while playing foot
ball at that institution several days
ago, was not so badly hurt as was at
first reported. Several ligaments In
his back were stretched and several
muscles were strained.
1t, was feared that the injuries
would be fatal to Compton's jump
ing, but this is declared not to be
the case. Compton has established
something of a record for himself in
this branch of athletics, and hoped
to make the Exeter track team this
winter. Although he will not be able
to Jump this winter, his injuries will
not necessarily keep him out Of the
game forever. He will probably
continue in the spring.
Four days after the injuries were
sustained, Compton was out of bed
and walking about the school hospi-
tai. He is reported doing nicely and
will visit his parents in Water street,
this city, over the Christmas holt
days.

MEMBER or AMERICAN
PEAT SOCIETY HERE

The American Peat Society is a
new society to some, yet 1t was
founded at the jamestown EXPOSE
ton on October %, 1907. Its object
is tt further the interest in the uses
and application of peat for indus
trial and econopic, purposes.
The society holds n general
meeting per year and publishes g
journal quarterly. The journal i'm
cludes the proceedings of the meet
ings, original papers on practical
experience, also abstracts on all con-
temporary literature and patents,
thus all the latest agricultural uses,
fertilizer purposes, drainage, fuel
uses, technical uses.
Prof. Charles A. Davis, U. S. Bu-
reau of Mines, estimated that there
are about $4,000 square miles of
workable peat beds in the United.
States, outside of The large number
Of beds very advantageously adapted
for agricultural purposes. He gives
as a conservative average estimate a
yield of 1000 tons dried peat per
acre foot. Canada has at least 3D.
900 square miles of known peat de-
posits. The U. S. Geological Survey
reports that In 1906, s45,344 worth
of peat moss was imported from Eu-
rope every year..

this society and is secretary of the
