years ago a traveler in New South
Wales reported a reading of 131 degrees,
and in Asia, near the Euphrates, 132
lias been recorded.
The American
record which is official, represents the
highest point reached during four years
of accurate observation. The weather
bureau has had an observation station
in Death Valley for four years. It is
situated at Greenland ranch on Furnace
creek. Death Valley lies in the same
latitude as the northern part of North
Carolina, but it is a vast arid sand hole
more than a hundred feet below sea
level. The light airs that blow in from
the north in summer are retained by
high walls at the southern boundary of
the valley, and become stagnant with
the reflected heat from the rocks and
desert floor. Such at least is the ac
cepted explanation of the intense heat.

HOTTEST AMERICA.
The Monthly Weather Review of thej
United States weather bureau describes
Death Valley in southeastern California,
as the hottest place on earth. On July
10,1913 the mercury reached 134 de
grees in the shade, “ the hottest shade
temperature ever recorded in the open
air, with standard instruments and ac
cording to approved methods of ex
posure, in any part of the world.” In
fact, meteorological archives contain
but few records that even approach it.
In August, 1884, a trained observer on
the edge of the Sahara Desert, noted a
temperature of 127 degrees.
