THE COLDEST SUMMER All Weather Bureau Records Broken By Last Three Months, Philadelphia, Sept. 1.—Three months of the coldest summer weather within the memory of living men has ended, All weather bureau records are broken, and the pleces are scattered, But the weather bureau dates back only to 1871 and there are many people living who can remember the severe weather of 1867. It will be necessary to take up the books, however, and back 1816 to find anything to beat this sum- mer for weather, In the year fell every in the year one, and was frost in every month of the twelve, Wheat did not ripen, and people thought the end of the world was coming. Of course, we have had nothing like that this sum- mer, but {t has been a cold, wet season. Half crops were the rule for small fruits, and no crop at all for peaches and many vegetables to which we are accustomed, Beginning with June, when warm weather may reasonably be expected, the warmest day was the last of the month, and the mercury only reached 84 in the hottest part of the day. There were 20 rainy days and 10 more were cloud) first of the go to 1816 snow month except there which The coldest day was the month, the when mercury | I Same, went down to 5.

The foreign colony in Pekin, China, | has been deeply shocked at some revela- tions concerning the methods pursed by the nutive municipal authorities when, order having been restored there | since the Boxer uprising, it was decided | to furnish light to the city. With the tortuousness that characterizes the Chinese, one half of the whole appro- priation was reserved for himself by the chief official concerned. He handed oat the other half to a group of lesser rank, | and bade them see to the lighting of the town, These reserved two-thirds of what remained and handed on the rest to a still important bunch, with strict injunctions to proyide for the light. ing of Pekin. So it went on until something less than the change for a dollar remained. This was intrusted to a coolie, with it bought a small earthen lamp which he lighted and set down on the thoroughfares of Pekin. A mendicant who came along cooly drank the oil, ate the wick and pocketed the lamp, Its Just as has been long suspected, The greatest corruption does exist in China. less who one of i ———————— ‘A Promising Mine.
