THE HOT DAYS OF HISTORY
July, 1874, Was Unlike Any Month
Before or Since.

According to a Philadelphia histo-
rian the eighteenth century still
holds the record for summer heat in
that city. 1t was long before men
consulted the weather bureau to
know what sort of day to expect.
They likewise were denied the de-
lights of comparing the various tenn
peratures of the cities of the coun-
try.
This memorable summer was
some years before Americans decid-
ed to set up in business as a nation.
According to some musty records
unearthed recently the month of
July, 1894, was unlike anything be-
fore or since in that city in the mat
ter of solar heat. 1t is recorded that
many persons fell in the streets of
the city because of the high temper
allure and that eight of these per-
sons died.
The quaint record goes on to say
that many men in the harvest fields
were Frustrated, that number of
deaths occurred and that scores of
birds died. Cattle also succumbed
to the torrid rays of the sun.
Four years prior to this-1730-
a number of deaths from heat also
occurred in Philadelphia. The chron-
