THE HEAT TERRIFIC
A Close Sultry Day With No Wind
Stirring Testeidsy. v
The sun's rays beat mercilessly down
on the earth yesterday and there was no
escape except to get Into the loe box
but one can't stay In the Ice box all the
time. There was no breeze to relieve
the torrid heat and the just and unjust
suffered alike.
The temperature reached 05 degrees
which wss within two degress of the
highest point reached Ibis year, but at
that time a strong breeze was blowing
which made the weather really more
endurable than it was yesterday.
We have escaped rain for a few days
very nicely and there will probably be a
more or less dry period until the
equinoctial storm which occurs Septem
ber 81-84. As for rain the'f armers will
be thankful for a short respite from
storms.

SPOILED A DUEL.
Tke Ochanaa Senator Uui Worard
to I'ro.nl nil Kncounter.
During the course of a heated debate
once In the house of representatives
sharp words were exchanged between
congressman from New York and ong
from Mississippi. A challenge was de
llvered and accepted, and as both were
courageous and determined a bloody
meeting seemed Imminent Friends in
terposed, but In rain. Both men were
resolute, and neither wonld yield to the
suggestion of an amicable arrange
ment As a last resort Senator Lamar
was called in to save the situation. He
realized that no ordinary methods
would serve his purpose, and so re
sorted to strategy. The principals in
the proposed duel are still living, so I
will call the New Yorker Jones and the
Mtsstsslpplan Smith.
Senator Lamar called on the New
Yorker, and after the usual civilities
had been exchanged he said: .
Jones, I've come here to do you a
friendly turn. I know that you and
Smith are determined to fight and that
othing will stop you. I have not come
as a mediator, but simply to mitigate,
possible, the horrors of a fatal end,
so far as you are concerned. As to
Smith, I have no fears. He is a dead
shot and can take care of himself, but
he Is not an unfeeling man, and is in
clined to respect any partiality you
may have In favor of any particular
part of your anatomy. Some men en
tertain a mortal dread of being dis
figured after death, and if the choice
were left them would prefer not to be
wounded in the eyo or mouth or cheek
bone. Now, If there is any particular
spot that you would like to have
Smith's bullet enter he has commis
sioned me to say that your wishes will
be respected."
This extraordinary proposition stag
gered the New Yorker. Even his un
doubted courage did not stand so se
vere a test and he paled visibly. After
be recovered his composure he replied
that he would confer with bis second,
and Mr. Lamar, after an Impressive
farewell, took his leave.
The tip was given to friends of the
principals and new negotiations en
tered upon. The duel did not come off.
Lamar's device had succeeded. New

TIME FOR SCOTLAND.
Ball on One Hill Drops When Cannon
on Another la Fired.
'Speaking of clocks," said the travel
er, "Edinburgh, Scotland, hus the most
interesting time marking device I ever
saw. The city lies between two hills.
On one of these, known as Carlton hill,
there is an observatory tower, in the
top of which u large black bull is sus
pended. Across the valley, probably a
mile away, is Castle hill, surmounted
by the historic Edinburgh castle. One
of the large guns in this fortress, point
ing toward Carlton hill, is electrically
connected with the bell in the tower a
mile away. Every evening at 0 o'clock
the gun Is fired, and at tho same mo
ment the ball falls. The device sets
the official time for all Scotland.
It is interesting to stand on Carlton
hill at the appointed hour to see the
simultaneous flash of the gun on Castle
hill and the 'fall of the ball closo at
band, while the roar of the gun In of
course some moments in crossing the
valley. On the other hand, It is equal
ly Interesting to stand beside the big
gun at dusfk to watch the ball at Carl
ton hill fall Just as the shot is fired.
recall once standing in the courtyard
of the castle, watch in hand, waiting
for the cannon Just overhead to be
fired. It occurred to me it would be
more exciting to watch the crowds of
passing people, especially since not
one was apparently thinking of the
shot from the cannon. When the roar
took place, absolutely without warning,
hardly a yard above the heads of the
crowd, the scene well repaid my wait
lng. Everybody dodged. Children
screamed, and men and women Jumped
to the side of the wall. Of course it
was all over In a second, but lu that
moment it seemed that an electric
shock had passed through the crowd."

Malice and Superstition.
In the middle ages malice and super
stitiou found expression in the forma
tlon of wax images of hated persons,
Into the bodies of which long pins were
stuck. It was confidently believed that
In that way deadly injury would be
done to the person represented. This
belief and practice continued down to
the seventeenth century. The super
stition indeed still holds its place in
the highlands of Scotland, "where,'
says a well informed writer, "within
the last few years a clay model of an
enemy was found In a stream, having
been placed there In the belief that as
the clay washed away so wotjld the
health of the hated one decline."
Tree and Wind.
When one travels through the parts
of Belgium bordering on the sea he

toward the interior of the country. It

trunks of trees hurled in the peat
bogs of Holland all lie in a southwest
to northeast direction.
