ton of the clear air and the breeze
produced a day which might by wide
stretch of the Imagination be called
almost comfortable. provided one
sought a shady spot and refrained
from exercise.
The mercury at o'clock in the
morning showed a temperature of 80
degrees in the shade, and from that
time rose two or three degrees each
hour until noontime. At s o'clock it
reached SO degrees, at o'clock SO, at
