summarises the results of many years of investigation In this particular direction by saying that the only positive knowledge which has been acquired Is thst during a hot wave the eastward circulation of the atmosphere. both upper and lower, la for the time being almost totally suspended and. that radiation is at that time at a minimum. He takes occasion, however, to puncture the reputation of several well known long-distance weather prophets by declaring that while It la quite practicable to forecast high temperature for a period of from four to five daya. predictions for a longer time are the merest guess work, and not entitled to credence. The. hot wave occupies the most Important position among all weather phenomena In the destruction of life an *, property which follows Its wake. A summer hailstorm mhy destroy con-

Bemombering names Is one of the hardest tasks of a public man. Speaker Henderson tells a story of his going to Washington on a visit many yetfs ago. when he had a few minutes’ conversatlw one morning with Mr. Blaine, who was the speaker of the house. Six years later he again visited the capital on business, and after staying in the hotel Severn days’ met Mr. Blaine, yrbo promptly called him by name. - Before accepting this as a mlrsrffaloni feat of memory, Mr. Henderson questioned one of the waiters,

who said:
