To-Day's Heat.

Blessed renef-for . nms At least
struck heat-mad New York . little after
. o'clock this afternoon. when ono Of the
long prophss,ed thunder storms out Of
Jersey came swinging over the river and
spilled Is Of an inch over parched roofs
and heads. TO Be sure. that wasn't
much. but suficient to make the tenn
psSaturs tumble from o at O. CLOCK {,
70 within twenty minutes. II stood At
the latter figure At $50 O'Clock. and
there waS a strong possibility that an
. while.
The thundsrshower which swooped
down out OF the west was preceded by
the customary oioud OF Jersey dust, and
when It nit lower Manhattan every
thing wsnt-hats and papers and every
thing else that was not tied down.
Then the rain came-A drixzis at first
and then Of q sudden . great plump Of
rain IN drops az big az dollars. The
downpour continued for about half an
hour and then let down into tho drixxle
again.
All OF this time there was the fns.
slanting wind which cooled and the
| freshness that comes with . summer
rain. People thanked the Weather
Bureau for Its little gift. not knowing
that the Weather Bureau wagged it's
head and opinsd that this little rain
did not necessarily mean the end OF the
torrid SPELL

When old DR.. Scarr. up In the cooler
zones OF the Weather Bureau. some
thirty stories above the street, took q

To swelterinE folks down In the
steaming streets one degree OF humidity
u equivalent In the discomfort pro-
ducsd TO about three degrees rise In
temperature
Generally fair. with tendency to
cooler tonight and Friday" was
the best promise DR.. SCARF could

cooler. Some cloudiness will prevail,
! and scattered local thunder showers
are probable late this afternoon or
tonight.
People with handkerchief tucked in
their collars are scepticsl about, the

TO give the humidity . boost.
