CALIFORNIA; HOTTEST VALLEY.

Death Valley is the hottest place in the United States writes
Ellsworth Huntington in Iarpers Magazine. "A weather bureau
thermometer wa installed there some years ago at Furnace Creek.
There n or TWO white men and W. or three Indian families main
tain a little ranch, raising alfalfa. One OF the white men keeps the
weather record.
The thermometer is properly exposed above a gently sloping pain
of gravel in a regulation shelter such as used all yer the country. No
other out-thc door thermometer in the United States, or perhaps In the
world, is 81 familiar with temperatures of 100 degrees orr more. Dur
1915, a maximum temperature OF 100 degrees o mor az reached on
54S days. One day in July, 1918, to be exact, the 10th OF the month,
the mercury rose to 1874 degrees and hit the top OF the tube. How
much higher it would have gone n a tell. That day marks the
limit of temperature yet reached, according to offical records, in this
country. A new thermometer, with greater range, has been installed,
and perhaps this summer We may have a temperature Of l4O degrees.

A TRAINING CAMP IN NEVADA.

If the new army bill becomes a law and military training camps are
established in various parts of the country there is every reason why
Nevada should be of the selections, and there is II O reason why in
Carson say, for instance, in Washoe valley. Level land, rolling country
and precptous hills for all name on training and tactical purposes
abound, and there is sunshine, according to weather bureau reports,
three hundred days in the year.
The location is central, close to tansContnental lines OF railroad
and within easy reach of all the important sea coast towns. Nature
has given this section advantages that few parts of the country pos
