Alternating with the scratching of Lloyd's pen, Bennett's voice continued monotonously: "August 15th 2,000 meters or 1,093 fathoms minus .66 degrees centigrade or 30.81 Fahrenheit."

The French capital is, at the present moment, a city of strange contrasts.
Nor can it be affirmed with perfect confidence, that all forms of protoplasm are liable to undergo that peculiar coagulation at a temperature of 40° 50° centigrade, which has been called "heat-stiffening," though Kühne's beautiful researches have proved this occurrence to take place in so many and such diverse living beings, that it is hardly rash to expect that the law holds good for all.

Most people however were profoundly indifferent to the celestial phenomena. Thousands of foreign volunteers assembled on the Esplanade des Invalides this morning to offer their services for the war.
We could scarcely persuade ourselves that we were elevated less than one hundred toises above the level of the sea, in the fifth degree of latitude, in the centre of the torrid zone, which has so long been thought to be destitute of cryptogamous plants.
