FOli 1).
The weather for the past week
has been very oppressive. The
thermometer registered for two
days at ioo degrees, with a gale of
•Ainu from the northwest which
should have produced a lower tem
perature, but was ineffective on ac
count of the high degree of heat
accompanying it. We were told
that it resembled the winds of
Texas largely. The crops of this
section began yielding to it in a
few hours and had it continued
longer there is no doubt but what
the damage produced by its pres
e ;ee, would nave been immense.

While plowing last week we:
found one of those hollow stones !
which geologists have so often de- i
scribed as holding the remains of j
many things pertaining to the vege-1
table and animal kingdom. We
don't know what it is in the one
we have. It resembled asbestos to
a very large extent before hand
ling, but when handled it looked
like white clay of some kind. The
shape of the rock is fashioned af
ter the form of a diamond and un
der the glass has every appearance
of having passed at some time
through a melting process. The
color of the rock when broken res
embles a dark shade of slate, but
upon close examination it’s found
to be a compound and would be
identified as belonging to the black
flint species.
