There is one point about our climate
| which the unobservant might not see. 1t
is this Read carefully the tables OF rela-
tive humidity Just above. The high fig
ures will all be found of course in the
early morning hours and in the latter
part of the afternoon, increasing as night
comes on. Now if the table of daily
tenn perature for the same hours OF the
day we're given, it would appear that the
high degrees of heat always occur here
| at such hours as are marked by very
low degree of humidity. The humidity
in the table at 7 A. M. ranges at 20 to 95
degrees. but at that hour in our warmest
spells the thermometer will run al go to
| 20 degrees. at 3 p. NJ. the humidity
ranges along at from 81 to SO degrees, an
hour when the tenn mperature is higher.
The hottest period of The day in this Sec
ton is between 10 and 12 O'Clock in the
morning; and these hours are the dryest
in the day. This is fact which means
much in any estimate of the agreeable
ness of the climate.
So accustomed are the people Of this
section to fine weather that slight de-
gree of discomfort from this source dis
gusts them. The middle of August last

The meaning Of the table is that the
H column gives the average highest ther-
mometer for the ten years; the L col
umn the average lowest degree, and the
M column the mean temperature.
In the period covered for each year the
number of days when the mercury went
above 30 degrees and below 32 degrees
was as follows:

seven times.

considered it will be found that the rec
