“Talk about beat," said Abner Byng,
as wa sat upon the porch of Jonea’
country store trying to keep cool,
“this Is nothing at all to what I’ve
seen; It’s coolness, absolute frigidity.
Why, when I lived out In the Cannibal
Islands, back here In 1878, If the peo-
ple would aee the thermometer fall
to 100 degrees In the shade they'd get
out their skates and begin to consider
the probabilities of the Ice crop.”
“How high did It used to %< tf
asked MaJ Potts.
"Generally up to 400 or 500 In the
shade. They never did their cooking
with fires out there. Always baked
their bread In the sun. Lay a steak
on the window sill, and It would be
done on one aide before you could
stick a fork Into It to turn It over.
The water was hot, too. People never
thought of trying to get cold water to
drink. Put a leg of mutton down a
well and It'd come up boiled, and you
could pump mutton soup out of the
well for two or three days. The flrBt
time I went to swim In the ocean out
there 1 didn't know about It, and I
was nearly scalded to death.
"In the ocean?"
"Yes. air; in the Pacific ocean Why,
a dog in that country couldn't put
down four legs at ,a time. He would
go on three legs so's as to give the
other one a chance to cool. It was a
common thing for horses to get their
shoes red hot. and one summer I re-
member the pavements got bo warm
that several horsea had their legs
burned off (-lean up to the knee.
"Did they have no cool weather at
all?"
“Oh, yes. of course, that was In the
rainy season. 'Then it would get very ,
cold sometimes, and this caused a cu-
rious phenomenon. The Island I lived ,
on was about eight mile* long In win- J
ter time, but the heat of summer was
so Intense that It would expand the !
Island »o the extent of about four
miles, and so she'd go on expanding
and contracting from year to year In
the most extraordinary maimer. I
know Just after I went there I bought ;
a place of 12 acres of a man It was
auminer time, and I paid him so much
an acre, When the cool weather came
I found that ft wasn't more than half
the size It ought to be, and the trees
were crowded up together so close
that you couldn't walk through them.
Took advantage of me. the man did.
I ought to have bought In the winter '
"Was it a prolific soil?"
"Well. yes. when the season w-as
good In real hot weather ihings
were slow in growing Hut ordinarily
my corn would bo between 300 and
400 feet high, and the stalks from *ix
to nine feet in diameter at the base. ;
We out It with axes. The ears were
generally about the size of a large
lobster There was a man over on
one of the islands, named Smith, who
used to raise one turnip a year, and
that was enough, because a single tur-
nip would cover three-quarters of an
acre But one good growing season
Smith'* turnip grew so fearfully that,
it covered the entire Island, and Smith j
had to move off and go up on the side
of * volcano back of his place How-
ever the turnip would grow ; couldn't j
be stopped, you know : and it did grow j
until finally It got ao heavy that tt;
aunk the Island
"Did what’" |
"Sunk the entire island and that. <
you know, let the ocean Into the vol- j
eano This generated steam so fast.
that the whole thing exploded, and
Smith was blow n 83 miles out to a***, i
and picked up. discouraged, by a San
Francisco ship. He told a friend of
mine that that was the last turnip he •
would ever ralae.
"Ye*, sir. It was hot In those re- j
glons Let a man In good health atep ;
out of doors In the middle of the day j
and he'd come back all black and
wrinkled, exactly like dried beef Fve
known men who cured tbernselveB In
that way ao that with a couple of days j
In a smokehouse they'd keep for 200
years, alive and good as ever.”
“Alive?”
"Yea. alive And evaporation was j
■o great that I’ve seen the ocean fall j
150 feet under a hot sun until you
could wade 20 miles from land."
"Did you ever do it?" asked the tat-
lot . „
"Often I've waded 40 mlb-a out
“l thought you said the water was
boiling hot."
'Moiling hot' Well, t believe I—
oh. ye*, of course, boiling hot some-
times but—but. of course. 1 wore my
