WORST HEAT WAVE IN FIFTEEN YEARS Oppressive From Atlantic Seaboard to | the Rocky Mountains. Washington, July 27.—A “Bermuda high” is the official cause of the worst heat wave that has enveloped the country in fifteen years. Translated from the cryptic language of the weather sharps, that means a great area of high pressure air has heen mobilizing on the weather drill grounds in the Atlantic Bermuda for the last month and now has let go the full power of its offensive from the seaboard to the Rocky Mountai For weeks it has stood like wall against heated currents trying vainly to move out from the interior over the ocean and now as it swirls rapidly along it is gathering k olld a moisture from the tropics and sweep- ing them northward over the conti- nent into the vacuum of so-called low-pressure arecas. No relief is promised from the phe- nomena which in the east has caused sweltering city dwellers to light fires in their homes to dry out the humidity, or which in the Mississippl valley is threatening to destroy millions of dollars ‘worth of food crops.
