Experiments About Heat.

The Providence journal gives the fol-
lowing interesting results of some expert
ments made in that city recently ct 3
o'clock with an excellent glass mounted
thermometer:
In the house with open windowsit stood
at 005o. Out of doors in the shade at 95o
freely suspended in the sun six feet
above the green sward 90 50. In the same
position with wet bulb 70 8o-with bulb
covered with white cloth 90 6e-with
bulb covered with silk 100 900. When
laid upon the grass in the sun it rose to
104e. Laid upon white cloth, placed upon
the grass, 105o-and when Similarly
placed upon silk it indicated 1889.
The experiments with different colored
coverings show very conclusively the util-
ity of light-colored clothing fur those who
are obliged to BE- exposed TO the direct
rays OF the sun ct high temperatures-
and the experiment with the wet bulb
shows ~ clearly the value of free perspi-
ration in keeping down the temperature
OF the body, which, however, the observer
finds in his own person, Notwithstanding
the Precipitation while making these ex.
periments, to have risen to 100 (Which
Ia about two degrees above the usual
standard for cooler days. The average
temperature Of the. healthy human body
throughout the year, in temperate ell
mates, is 98.4o-while in tropical regions
it il about one degree higher.

in their efforts to capture or kill McLauchlin's
