HEAT CONTINUES TO KILL
Continued from f1rst page.

water. the smoke from their funnels
hanging motionless in the air as soon as
Il was freed from the smokestacks.
Nothing seemed to possess life or am
bition in that deadly calm.
The sun. a giant burning glass in the
yellow bowl of the sky. appeared TO be
grinning with fiendish, uncanny JOY, az
It focused its penetrating beams on the
dot in the waters that betokened Man
haitian Island
Coney Island tried to extend It's usual
welcome to those who issued painting
from the grill of the city, but Coney
Island was almost as Frustrated by the
ovenllke conditions as was Manhattan
Beginning so early in the day, the
heat found persons unprepared for the
struggle Of endurance which they were
To undergo. With so much humidity in
the air all through the night, hardly
anybody had a chance 70 regain MS
strength through the medium of sound
and unbroken sleep. Men who sought
their beds on Monday night, grimly
hoping that in the darkness. at least
they would find slight surcease from the
binding heat Of the day were griev
ously disappointed The closeness Of the
atmosphere seemed 10 enfold them like
pail. Breathing alone was a difficulty
to enjoy refreshing sleep was out Of
the question.
BY the time the business day began
the juice in the thermometer had begun
to creep upward. slowly, stealthily, re-
lentlessly. as a poisonous snake creeps
toward its unsuspecting victim in the
jungle. BY the early forenoon II regis
tered 81 degrees. In another hour the
mercury was oozlng alongside the 90
degree mark.
The heat serpent which has already
sapped so many lives in this city. expend-
ed its last drop Of venom at $50 o'clock in
the afternoon. when the thermometer reg
istered 95 degrees That IS degrees means
the amount Of heat more than four hun
bred feet above the baked streets, where
any wandering zephyr, however sliaht, ex-
erts its influence In the stone chasms be-
low. where The great buildings shut out
anything less than 9 gale. the temperature
was far above the lOo-degree mark
The only saving feature Of the day lay
in the fact. that while the temperature
constantly attained new heights, the hui
nudity gauge showed a steady decline from
50 at o'clock in the morning to Il at 4
o'clock in the afternoon. That fact I'M
doubtediy saved scores of lives So there
was something to be thankful for.
II the government experts are TO be re-
lied upon hope is held out for to-day
hone in small doses, but still hope. This
Is how the weather expert at Washington
figures II out on paper:
Eastern New York-Local showers and
somewhat lower temperatures Wednesday;
Thursday, fair. with moderate tempera-
ture: moderate south winds, shifting to
northwest"
New York hangs expectantly on those
prosaic words To many their fufilment
means a new lease Of life, a chance to get
a new grip: TO others IT means a giving
up Of the long struggle against almost in
tolerable conditions.
