There were indications that the capital was going through a hot spell in July, 1855, just like the one we had here 100 Harman Nicfaol years later. But the papers leave us to guess at this late date what the temperature might have been Neither was there any forecast for the morrow. Hints of the weather came in the form of advertisements. George W. Blackston plugged his pavilion, away from the heat and bustle. The proprietor's table George said, "will be sup plied with the delicacies abound ing in the acres adjacent to Blackstonn's Islands." One week or more, $1.25 a day, including everything. Less than a week, the price was $1.50 per day per person. Mountain Retreat Capon Springs, Va., advertised as a delightful summer place the "Mountain House" at "this pop ular watering place." The owners suggested that one take the stage at Baltimore at 4V4 a.m. and connect with a steamboat at Alexandria, "with breakfast and board, free." Once at the "Mountain House," room and board ran as low as $40 for 28 days with "children and col ored servants half price." The managers of Clagett, New ton, May & Co. were happy peo ple.

All who have not settled will oblige us very much by so doing." A correspondent for the New York Times reported from Wash ington that one Roger A. Pryor, Esq., had been "selected by a grateful administration to per form a secret service in Europe." That was the end of the item. News About Drunks Getting away from Washing ton, the New York Times let it be known that it was continuing what it called the weekly "toper list."

The pa per named names and interesting quotations from those in trouble. Richard Curry confessed that he had not had a drop of hard liquor in three months and that unaccustomed as he was to the custom at the time it upset him considerably.

Charles Castles, under ques tioning, said "I live nowhere, and sometimes everywhere." He told the judge that he didn't keep a diary so how did he know how he got into such a mess.

Toadstool Poisoning Goats Hinder AVMA Chicago U.R) The "inher ent curiosity" of dairy goats has made toadstool poisoning a prob lem in the livestock industry, ac- coring to the American Veterin ary Medical association.

Toadstool poisoning has "of- ten-times been considered only a human problem," the AVMA says.

(U.R) A General Electric Company au ditor has found a way to stop mechanical "goldbricking." Suspicious that automatic of fice machines might, like some humans, be looking busy when they, were not, John Vavasour decided to find out. He borrow ed a laboratory recording in strument and hooked it to power lines feeding various tabulating machines. Telltale graphs promptly showed that machines which seemed to be busy all the time were really idle for long periods, he discovered. Also, the "gold bricking" ' was most apparent when several different kinds of machines were performing dif ferent work. Some finished the job quickly, then rested while others caught up. Until his experiment, the best possible human observation was that the machines were working 100 per cent, and more were needed. Now, operators no long er have to watch the mechanical culprits, and scientific re-scheduling work has boosted output without new machines, the com pany said.
