EFFECTS 012 ROT WEATHER.
Curious Examples Produced by
Heat Waves. •
We have had some pretty warm
days recently,bet nothing like the
heat `which prevails in some parts
of the American continent every
summer.
Chicago suffers greatly in this re-

soil would seriously interfere with. It was a startling effect which the
the quantity of grain and other heat had on a couple of young lad-
les at Douglas, in the Isle of Man,
last summer. Well-dressed, they
were strolling •along the Marine
Promenade, when the sun's rays
made the water so inviting that
they simply walked into it just as
they were.
Soh indifference to their spick-
and -span array almost took the
spectators' breath away. This,
however, did not trouble the two
damsels who splashed about and
cooled themselves, while a laughing
crowd of holiday makers enjoyed
the unique scene.
Then the twain made for terra -
firma, boarded a tramcar, and pro-
ceeded to their lodgings to change
their damp garments for•dry ones.
A somewhat different construe-
tion was placed on the action of
a well-dressed son of Erin whom
the heat had goaded into plunging
into the Thames.
When he took his plunge with his
clothing on, the river western=
pulled off to the rescue. This was
more than the bather hacl bargain-
ed for; and, when he his would

What was described as a "Start-

ported in the newspapers one hot
summer not long since, Passen-
gers on boats on the Thames, pass-
ing the Houses of Parliament, were
treated to the unique spectacle of
numbers of our usually grave and
dignified legislators sitting in their

A. few,, indeed, were even minus
their waistcoats, a breach of the
proprieties which some.of those
who witnessed it would not have
deemed passible if they had not
seen the scandalous fact with their
own naked eyes. •
They seemed to consider. it a
heinous crime for a Member of
Parliament to dispense with his
waistcoat. However that may be,
there are precedents for dispensing
with ,superfluous apparel under the
sante conditions in the law courts
of the United States, if not in this
country. An arousing incident of
this kind happened in the teem of
