The question is whether that nation’s influence will be finally exerted for world peace or world war. In the past Italy has played a_ tre- ; mendous part in the progress of mankind, and will doubtless continue to do so un- less her dictator should now supply the j spark to set off another world conflagra- tion. It would be tragic, indeed, if such a thing should happen to destroy what Italy’s thinkers, writers and artists did to! rescue humanity from the decadence of the Dark Ages. From the seventh until the fourteenth century was a sorrowful period in the world’s history, during which the intellects | as well as the bodies of the great mass of humanity were cruelly enslaved. It was truly a period of darkness— intellectual, moral and spiritual. About the year 140!) there arose inj} Italy that great movement known as_ the Renaissance, or revival of learning, in|. ¥' which was the virile germ from which al)" modern culture has sprung. It has been’ described as “the rise of 4 new impulse in literature, the welling up of an ehithusids- tie delight in freedom of thought, speech | and action.” ; } With this movement were associated the names of such great Italians as Filelfo, Politian, Sealiger and other illustrious scholars, with Perugino, Leonardo da Vinci, Rafael, Michelangelo and their im- mortal companions in the field of art. The impulse of their genius soon spread throughout Europe and left its in- delible impression upon human history. : it marked the dawning of a new day, after seven centuries of medieval dark- ness. Will Mussolini allow his Italy to fol- low that illustrious example? ABOUT THE WEATHER Recent hot spells in various sections of the country naturally have revived comparisons of heat with conditions of ‘former years. | In the United States the hottest spot on an average is a place in | Death Valley, California, named oddly enough Greenland Ranch, where on July 10, 1910, the temperature rose to 134 de- grees, The record for cold in this country is held by Miles City, Mont., whete the mer- cury sank to 65 below zero in} 1888. Higher and lower temperatures have | been recorded in Africa and Siberia, re- spectively, although Death Valley’s high ; mark is within two degrees of the world’s record, 136 degrees at Ajizia, Tripoli, in 1924. Some interesting cases of excessive rainfall and snowfall have been noted by the United States Weather Bureau. The hardest rain ever recorded was at Ophid’s Camp, in California, where an inch_ oF rain, equiyalent to 115 tons of water pen acre, fell in one minute on April- 5p.1926.4)°% Tea At Porto Bello, Panama, 2.47 inches of rain fell in three minutes on May 1, 1908 The heaviest snowfall ever to GeCHP Hr a Place equipped for accurate obser¥ation’ was 25. inchs in 24 hours at Washington, D. C., in January, 1922. The most equable and pleasant cli- | mate in the United States, and perhaps in | the world, is enjoyed by Key West, Fla., where the temperature “has never aoe above 100, nor below 41 above zeré. Its | average for January is 70 and for July 84.! Even in the heat of summer this island city is relatively cool, being fanned by breezes from the Gulf of Mexico, which seldom fail when they are needed.
