Around the World for $2,000.

What is the cost of a trip around the world, asks a correspondent. A man can make this trip, stopping over at points of greatest interest, and occupying about six months of time, for $2,000. With that amount of money he can take firstclass passage on steamers and firstclass cars on railroad trains. A better trip would require a year of time and an expenditure of about $3,000. In 1778 the heat of Bologna was so great that numbers of people were stifled. In July, 1873, the heat again became intolerable. Vegetables wore burned up and fruit died on the trees. The furniture and woodwork in dwelling houses cracked and split, and meat went bad in an hour. The heat in several of the French provinces during the summer of 1705 was equal to that of a glass furnace. Meat could be prepared fer the table merely by exposing It to the sun. Not a soul dare venture out between noon and 4 p. m. Ohio, Delaware, Rhode Island and North Carolina are States where the Governors have no veto power over, legislation.
