temperature, the difference between the
two depending upon the relative humid
! ity of the atmosphere.
Whoever has lived any considerable
time in California must have been i'm
pressed with the fact that has fire.
quently been commented upon by the
Record Union,' during several years.
especially in addresses to strangers and
TO Eastern thought, that because of the
dryness of valley atmospheres in this
State, the apparent heat indicated by
the dry thermometer in them is very
much less than the heat really felt by
residents of valleys
Thus it has become a common thing
for intelligent Californians to say to
Eastern visitors zone hundred degrees
of heat in the Sacramento Valley does
not occasion us the discomfort that
ninety inflicts upon the people of the
Atlantic Coast, where the humidity of
the atmosphere is great" But they
should say lone hundred degrees of air
heat" which may be no more than
eighty degrees of sensible heat.
Anyone who enters warm room.
where there is hot steam in the atmos-
phere, will understand how low tenn
perature in a humid atmosphere will be
unbearable, while in the oven room of
the baker a very high temperature will
not occasion discomfort.
In discussing California climatology
with Eastern visitors, and we are all re-
quired to do that, it is we'll to under
stand the value of the facts indicated,
and why they are valuable. Thus, in
the humid hot atmosphere evaporation
OF moisture from the body is checked,
much as if wet blanket were wrapped
about one. Radiation of heat is re-
duced to the minimum also, and thus
the bodily organization is subjected to
the discomforts of retained heat and
absence of profuse perspiring, while in
the dry hot atmosphere heat radiation
from the body is conserved and stimu-
lated, and the throwing off of bodily
| moisture is encouraged, and thereby
the temperature of the body is reduced,
precisely as a porous vessel containing
water, on being induced to sweat" as
it is vulgarly termed, reduces the tenn
perature of the water, fact Mexicans
take advantage of by hanging porous
water jugs where a current of air will
play upon them and induce rapid
evaporation of moisture from the sur
face.
The report of the Weather Bureau
says upon this subject:
The drier the atmosphere the lower
the sensible temperature compared with
the air temperature. This will be better
understood when it is stated that in case
the air be saturated the readings of
the dry and the wet bulb thermometers
will be the same and the sensible tenn
perature and the air temperature equal
In the arid regions of the West cases
can be cited where the sensible temper
ature was 3S degrees less than the air
temperature, due to the extreme dryness
of the atmosphere. In the more humid
regions of the east part of the country
such extreme differences cannot occur
Both the air and the sensible temper
atures are now published on the charts
issued at Washington, and it is proba-
BILE that at all stations Of the service
these two temperatures will hereafter
be published The relative Importance

SOME TEMPERATURE FACTS TO
BE STUDIED AND USED.

A Red Bluff contemporary refers in
telligently to the fact that the United
States Weather Bureau has been pub
fishing of late the sensible tempera-
ture'' of localities in the United States,
concerning which there is really very
little thought among the people. The
sensible temperature is that felt by liv-
ing things, as contradistinguished from
that Indicated by the sensitive instru-
ments of the weather observer.
The weather service began the sensi-
bic temperature publications or an
nonncements on the 10th of last Sep
ternber, they being telegraphed from a
few observation stations These an
ncuncements are made from readings
of the wet-bulb thermometer. BY this
instrument the temperature is recorded
that is usually felt by animal life. and
may be many degrees below the air

Examiner" Sensational headlines
exclamation points, assert that ex-
Senator Williams has been reported in
the washington Post" as favoring the
funding bill, when ne is, in fact, say
the Examiner" headlines, opposed to
it. 1t then proceeds to print what it
alleges appeared in the Post" ex-
pressive of Mr.. Williams views, and
after interposing other matter in the
column to distract the readers atten-
tion it comes to it's own interview with
Mr.. Williams, which it heads up in
large type and so words as to place Mr..
Williams on the side of the opponents
to the funding bill.
When the reader who goes beyond
headline reading, examines the state
ment of Senator Williams, however, he
discovers that the Washington Post"
reported the gentleman correctly, and
did not one whit misrepresent that
citizen. What the Examiner" counts
upon is that seven out of ten of the
readers of newspapers are busy people.
and content themselves with reading
headlines to articles only, accepting
these heads as correct synoptical state
ments of what follows. So they are in
decent journals, but the Examiner
has never enjoyed the distinction of be-
ing classed among decent papers.
The Norris letter from johannesburg
printed in yesterdays San Francisco
Chronicle" while evidently apologetic
and seeking to excuse the Uitlanders,
going so far as to say that ''it is i'm
possible to fix the blame" makes it as
clear as sunlight to whoever reads be-
meath the words, that the blame was
and is upon such men as Hammond, the
American, and a lot of English and
American adventures, who did their
utmost to provoke an uprising and in
augurate a rebellion against a Govern
ment where they. were only guests, and
where they were bound in honor and
common decency to remain neutral and
law-abiding. AS surely as the sun
shines, such an effort in this country
to overthrow this Republic would result
in their being hanged by the neck until
dead-or it should so result. Yet there
are busybody noodles in San Francisco
moving Government, fraternities, soci-
ETY., politics and the bowels of the deep
to save this adventurer Hammond from
the commonest consequences of his con-
spiracy.

AN OLD WAY OF LYING.

In the San Francisco Examiners
scurrillous black list, in which it posts
the names of citizens who have the
courage to speak their opinions ON the
railroad funding bill, there is a cheat
that is common, but that is resorted to
only by newspapers that are utterly
lost to sense of responsibility for Iy-
ing.
The cheat consists in making appear
in flaming headlines that which is not
borne out by the text. Take, for in
stance, a case in Mondays issue of the

If yesterdays dispatches are to be re-
lied upon for accuracy, and we think
them correct, there is serious trouble
ahead for the Beers. Cecil Rhodes is
already hurrying back to South Africa
to eyerybody's surprise. He is not now
to live at Cape Town, but on the Boer
frontier. England is to maintain her
right to manage all outside affairs for
the South African Republic (the Trans
vaaD and is also to notify Kreuger that
the Queen tenders her good offices to
quiet things inside the republic and
manage domestic affairs for "Oom
Paul" That means, if anything, fixed
determination on the part of England to
dominate in the Transvaal, subject the
Boer to Englands power, and eventu-
ally control and steal the whole land.
The Beers will never tamely submit to
any such a scheme. The prospect, then,
for trouble is renewed and very grave
