Cool Wave Brings Welcome
Relief From Intense Heat; j
Rain Retards Harvests
Frequent showers last night and this
morning, together with a noticeable
drop in temperature, placed this city
a cool wave that brought relief
hundreds who suffered from the
intense heat.
The lowest temperature for yester
day was 6S. just 7 degrees below nor
mal for this time of the year. Fair
weather to-night and to-morrow, with
little change in the mercury, is the
forecast issued to-day.
The T'nited States Department of
Agriculture has issued a weather and
crop summary for the week ending
July 20 as follows: Frequent showers
and moderately high temperature were
favorable to all crop growth. There
was too much rain in most of the
■western counties, however, retarding
hay and wheat harvest and causing
weedy fields. A destructive hailstorm
occurred in parts of York and Adams
counties on the 13th. Peach prospects
are generally good, but apples, plums
and grapes promise only a fair yield.
Fear trees are being affected with
blight to some extent.

a mine underneath the chateau, but It
exploded Just outside. An immense
ravern yawned in front of them ana
the bodies of Germans were flung in

of the enemy was the shapeless mass of
what had been a man half driven

P. R. R. Electrification
Work on the electrification of the
Main IJne of the Pennsylvanin Rail
road is still progressing slowly and
no date has yet been set for the in

cause of the delay is said to be due
to the fact that the short lengths of
wire holding the lower or contact
wire to the upper wires did not meet
all requirements and their unsult
abllity was discovered before all of
the wires were strung. New wires
of the proper strength were ordered
but as the factories were busy on war
orders the Pennsylvania's order could
not be filled as expeditiously as under
normal conditions.

Railroad officials place no credence
in the story published yesterday that

SOME CHILD IDEAS OF WAR
Having mobilized a little regiment
of children, and armed them with
pencil and paper, Pio Vanzl, the Ital
ian caricaturist, recently set for them
the task of sketching their impressions
of the war. Writing in Cartoons
Magazine of certain phases of their
work, he says:
"A noticeable idiosyncrasy Is the
representation of the wound. The
soldier lies upon his back because he
is dead. It is well, therefore, to show
plainly the fatal wound. Accordingly,
the pencil describes a hole in the
stomach.
"The child is acustomed to regard
this part 4>f the anatomy as his most
vulnerable point. Here center the
pains of indigestion following overin
dulgence in cakes or green apples;
here hot poultices and plasters are ap
plied when he is 111; here take place
the violent upheavals caused by the
abhorred castor oil. The 'tummy' is
the child's Achilles heel. It Is In the
stomach, consequently, that the sol
dier must receive his deadly wound.
"Observe with what gusto the small
box depicts a bayonet attack! Here
Is a weapon to his liking. It pierces
the stomach, front to hack, makes a
beautiful wound, and never misses its
object."
NOVEIj RAILROAD EXHIBIT
AT SAN FRANCISCO
Four western railways have co

consists of a globe, approximately 50
feet in diameter, which on one face
carries a large relief map of North
America. Between the points repre
senting San Francisco and St. Louis
miniature trains, which are produced
by an ingenious electrical arrange
ment, flit across the map at frequent
Intervals. The trip la made In three
minutes, and as a train passed throguh
different ctlies along the line the
names of the places are Illuminated
electrically. Surrounding the globe,
ard separated by arches leading to
its interior, are figures symbolic of
transportation, agriculture, recreation
and industries. On the inside of the
globe are reproductions of many points
of Interest in the West, such as the
Royal Gorge, Denver, Salt Lake City
and other familiar places along the
railroads. A picture of this exhibit is a
feature of the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

THE REAL SUCKER
When the ball players are flown
South in the Spring, the old boys do
not take any chances with tbelr
pitching arms, letting the youngsters
prove their energies instead. One day
at Little Rock, where the Detroit team
was playing an exhibition, old "Red"
Donahue, who In his day was the
sharpest tongued man in baseball, was
tossing them over and letting the Lit
tle Rock batters hit at will, to the
great .delight of the spectators.
"Oh, 'Red,' you're easy, easy easy,"
shrieked one very wild fan who was
getting on "Red's" nerves.
"I'm not half as easy as you are,"
retorted "Red," "you paid fifty cents
to me do it."—The American Boy.

Washington. D. C., July 21.—Secre
tary of Commerce Redfield is satisfied
that there is one branch of the Gov
ernment that is reasonably neutral.
That is the Bureau of Fisheries, whichi
this year has greatly Increased Its
activities and made a record beyond
that of any other year in Its history.
The bureau has reached the htgh
water mark of additions to the llva
stock 6f the country by producing 4,»
300,000 fishes in twelve months. These
were all food fishes and among them,
were many thousands of Rocky Moun
tain rainbow trout, one of the gamest
and most delicious stream fishes In
the West.
From the large number of rain
bow trout produced the Bureau of
Fisheries sent 100,000 successfully to>
the German station at Ueber Gueph
feln late last season, where, according
to reports, they appear to have thrived,
and promise to establish the variety
permanently in the mountain streams
of the Fatherland. A consignment of
100,000 rainbow trout was also sent to
i the Japanese hatchery at Hyogo.
