Temperature Xt Quite So IIIkIi Yeterdny Corn Crop In IlaI Slmpe. TOI'EKA, Kan., July 25. The temperatures were not quite so hish in Kansas to-day, averaging about loo for the entire State. However, not the least relief h is been experienced from the drought. The atmosphere has been very humid, and numerous prostrations are reported from various parts of the State. The corn crop Is In a worse condition than ever, and It. will not be a surprising thing if one-third of a crop is obtained. Many of the farmers are cutting it for fodder. If it were not l'or the fact that there are many thousands of bmhels of last year's corn In the State, the outlook for the stockmen would bo serious Indeed. Now that the? corn crop is entirely blasted, the people of the State have stopped considering this part of the drotht situation, hut are devoting their atttntlon to obtaining water to drink. Some towns are in Bore straits. A week ago they reported scarcity of stock water. Now some repoit that their supply of drinkln water is almost exhausted. Streams, ponds and wells are going dry, and It is hard to Imagine what the people of many localities will do for water in case rain does not come In a very hört time. Only the towns having1 water works systems have a sufficiency of water for every day purposes, and as the water plants are dependent on the streams for their supply, this, too, will soon be shortened. Thlrtr-Three Dentin. ST. LOUIS. Mo.. July 25. Winds that prevailed last night and all day to-day made their presence decidedly felt on the nuperheated atmosphere and brought glad relief to suffering man and beast. A maximum of 9!) degrees was recorded at the Kovernment weather bureau, which point was reached at 4 o'clock this afternoon. This Is S 1-10 degrees below .yesterday's maximum temperature luT.l wnlch shattered all known records for this vicinity. The diminution in the intensity of the heat was shown by the marked reduction In the death and prostration lists for the intst twenty-four hours. For that period of time, endin with 11 o'clock to-nlsht. thirty-three deaths and twenty-3e en ca s of prostration were reported, as against forty-three deaths and seventy-five prostrations In the previous twnty-four hours. Most of to-day's deaths were of porsons trlcken when the heat epidemic was at Us height. Potatoes Will He Scarce. CHICACO. July 25. In less than a we k the wholesale price of potatoes in the local market has advanced as a result of the drought from 70 cents a buhel to $1.10, tr-e latter being the closing figures to-day. This Increase of 40 c nts a bushel la so short a time is said to !e unprecedented. It brings the retail price lo 25 and 4j cents a peck at h season when potatoes are usually to be had here In abundance at 15 cents a n,eck. Reports fron? southern Illinois. Missouri, Kansas and other districts indicate that the recent rains came too late to save much r the potatoes In those tun-parched sections. It is from this territory ihat Chicago draws it supply.

New Orleans Times Democrat. "During the present hot spell," said a gentleman who occupies an uptown office, "I have . been conducting an experiment with an electric fan. and I have made some rather interestlnc discoveries. These fans are full of mysteries, in a way, ami for a long time I felt very much lntin idated by the fan in my office, and would almost do an Oriental salaam when I approached it in any way. Rut to recur to my experiment. The office which I occupy is rather roomy, and in fact is almost as large ;,s a hall. The fan had not been doing very good work in a cooling way, although there was a considerable amount of disturbance atmospherically in the room. The fan is a large one and of the most Improved make. I put a thermometer directly in front of the fan, so it would get the full benefit of the whirling number, but placed the bulb some distance from the fan. The result was surprising. Instead of forcing the fluid down, the t;rnperature began to rise. It rose several legrecs. I soon figured the problem out. Really the fan was pot cooling the office. Some parts of the office might have been cooler, but taking the whole sbace of the office the same number of heat units might have been found in the room. The fan, in other words, had not forced any of the heat out. It had simply churned It up, so to speak. But an interesting thing had happened, and this accounted for the fact that the bulb indicated an increase in the temperature of the room. The fan had banked the heat against the thermometer, created friction by its rotary motion, and a greater number of heat units had been crowded into a given space, und hence there had beea a perceptible rise, in the temperature. There had been, of course, a proportionate fall in the temperature In other sections of the room. Rut I made another experiment. I put a huge block of Ice in front of the fan, jut a few feet away. I left my thermometer hanging in the same place. In a short while the fluid began to fall In the bulb, and under the influence of the cold wave that was swept from the surface of the Ice the temperature fell four or live degrees, and it was not long in c.olag it, either. It cooled the room and was one of the most successful experiments I made. The force of the fan melted the Ice very rapidly. The hot air was banked against the ice Just as it had been banked against the thermometer in the first case. The concentration of heat units played havoc with the Ice. but the room was cooled in the meanwhile." Welcomed the Strau?fr. Detroit Free Press. "I'm looking for 96," and the remark was made on one of the best streets in the city. The occupants of Ü96 were sitting on the veranda and heard the Inquiry as well a3 the reply. "How stupid of me," laughed the finelooking man who was looking for the number. I am ore of those pedagogues who hae invailed Detroit and was assigned to this number. You are very kind." He alvar.ced boldiy upon th people in front and told them that he had been informed that he was to stop with them. The woman of the house had dropped in on home neighbor, so the man took the caller in charge. "Very sorry," said the latter, "but I have lost my ticket, or whatever they call it. Fortunately I have a feood memory, and this is the number." "From Minneapolis?" "Oh. yes. Long, warm ride. Pardon mc, but I would be glad to pay extra and liberally for a bath, and you can't make it too cold." "1 know how you feel. Been there myself. Ccrr.e right upstairs and flop around in the bath tub a long as you want to. Settle with my wife when you are leaving. This is her enterprise." The wife returned from her neighborhood expedition, talked for a few minutes with the people on the porch and then went lo her own room. ln?:de of a minute she came tumbling down to announce that her watch, her diamond sunburst and two of her finest rings were Rone. The husband convinced himself that tho "Minneapolis school teacher" was also gone and then became so grimly silent that no one could get a word out of him. He informed the police, advertised and pretended to be on a still hunt. But he

knows as well as docs the reader how he was a "Rube" right on his own prtserves. As to Spelling Reform. New York Evening Post. Though spelling reform is so old a topic that it would seem to be almost impoffible to say anything new on the subject. Prof. Francis A. March, at the recent meeting of tne American Philological Society, succeeded at least in expressing the old arguments with new emphasis. We knew that, according to the reformers, our present bad spelling costs two years of the school life of every child, but had not re allied that the bill for school teachers who under the reformed spelling would be superfluous reaches tne millions. Nor was it news that the adoption cf the reformed spelling would i educe the printing bills of the Englishspeaking nations by some 2o percent. That in the face of such obvious practical a Ivantr.ges, only a few periodicals had been persuaded even to curtail programme and catalogue, seemed little short of pathetic. What the spelling reformers do not realise is that unreascn rules in language. We wiite what we like, and we refuse to write what we dislike. Any general change in the spelling of a language must come slowly, word by word. For a score of years and more many of the German scitntif.c period

icals have been written in a reformed orthjgraphy, but the casual reader of German to-t'ay hardly knows that such a reform exists. It is. In the last analysis, a matter of feeling, and so long aa catalogue strikes the majority of educated people as an old friend, and catalog as an interloper, the most reasonable schemes of the spelling refüimerf will '"gang a-gley." Leprosy in the Inlteel States. Leslie's Weekly. We are accustomed to think of the loathsome disease of leprosy as a danger of on alien and faraway kind, to be read about with pity and horror, but not to be realized as a pre5ent evil in America. It will bo startling news, therefore, to many to learn that there are no less than nine hundred well-defined cases of leprosy In this country, and that the plague is spreading in the South and in some of the Western StaUs. Six cases- have been uiscoverec! in New York, six in Chicago and nearly one hundred in New Orleans. It is a fact of special significance that nearly every person alllicted with leprosy 13 of foreign birth. Some are Sweeds. but the majority are Italians. This furnishes a new and potent argument for a stricter enforcement of immigration laws and quarantine regulations. There is no apparent reason why the Southern States should have a larger proportion of leprosy cases than other parts of the Union, except that the health authorities of Southern ports are not as alert as some others. If the South, for example, had quarantine officers as capable, vigilant and cflicier.t as Dr. Alvnh H. Doty, of New York, its cities might have as few lepers as the metropolis. The disease is one of the most terrible scourges known to the world, and no pains nor expense should be snared in arresting its progress. Locomotive American and Foreign. Cassier's Magazine. The principal distinction between American and foreign locomotives to-day is the use in America of the bar frame as contrasted with the plate frame, which latter is a feature of European practice. American locomotives, further, are invariably built with outside cylinders, while in Great Rritaln and on the European continent Inside cylinders and crank axles are still used to some extent. These two letalis to-day represent the most radical differences between the American engine and that of other countries. Obituary. EASTOX. Pa., July 23.
