Comparative Figures

The exports of hops from the Unit
ed States is on an average 10000 to
$4,000 bales annually. Therefore, in
addition to the estimated shortage of
$4,000 for home consumption, there
will be a shortage of the amount for
export above mentioned

Heat Disastrous
That the weather conditions are
extremely bad IN Germany, it is only
necessary to quote the following from
a special to the Post Intelligencer:
BERLIN, Aug. 4. - over 1000
deaths have occurred here from sun
stroke during the ten days of Ger
many's heat wave, as we'll as many
more from heart failure during bath
ing and some 500 from gastritis and
typhus, caused by lack of water.
An epidemic has broken out in the
Moselle valley, caused by decaying
fish, Melted in shoals. Vast quantities
have been handed to the public au-
thorities for destruction. The fish
were suffering from a kind of scrofula,
owing to overheated water.
In many German cities the water
works supply water for two hours
daily. The police have had to issue
orders that no water from the ordi-
nary city supply pipes can be used
except for drinking. Even in Berlin
the authorities have suspended street
watering except in the main avenues
as fears are entertained that the sup
ply may run short
In the South German states almost
all the governments have suspended
work in the public departm ents, ex-
cept for a few hours in the early
morning, as the sickness resulting
from heat has so decimated the staffs.
