Leaves OF the Poison Ivy,

No doubt just picture of poison
Ivy Is enough to cause some folks TO
shudder and remember the time their
face and body became scarlet and
swollen from contact with the leaves.
How 1t itched and burned! Yet tG1ub
1t was only to make matters worse
A curious fact Is that some persons
are immune from this poison, while
others must not even breathe the pol.
len OF the plant. 1t Is often confound
ed with the Virginia creeper, although
the difference between this is distinct.
The leaves Of the latter are divided
into five leaflets. while those Of the
former have but three, a fact well
worth remembering.
Strange enough, the witch hazel plant
is sometimes found growing close to
the poison ivy. As witch hazel extract
Is one Of the best remedies for Ivy
poisoning 1t would seem nature was
holding out disease la one hand and a
remedy In another.

Heat at the persian Gulf.

The Persian gulf and its coasts are
in summer about the hottest place on
earth's surface, temperature Of 100
degrees In the shade being not un-
common, while black bulb solar ther-
mometer has registered 1877 degrees In
the sun.
When one remembers that the hot
