HIGH HUMIDITY CONTINUES.
THE RECORD FOR THE MONTH WE'LL

THE RECORD FOR THE MONTH WE'LL
KEPT UP-IITTLE RELIEF TO-DAY.
The intense humidity which did much dam
age to the tempers and the comfort OF men the
nrst part Of last week prevalent again yester-
day after giving fair warning Of It's coming on
the two preceding days. Its presence was all the
more felt after IT'S delightful absence OF Thursday
Friday and Saturday OF last week. The tcmpera-
ture itself was not SO exceedingly high yesterday
II reached It's highest altitude at o'clock IN the
afternoon when II touched the 81 mark. 1t was
lowest Just twelve hours earlier after the lively
shower that began soon after o'clock. At that
time Il reached 70 degrees. II went only few de-
grees higher in the forenoon. but In the early
hours OF the afternoon It rapidly. AS the heat
rose the percentage Of humidity steadily declne6
At o'clock In the morning the percentage Of hui
nudity was IS. Twelve hours later II had gone
down to the point Of 30 degrees. Still. the normal
percentage OF humidity Is only about 70 degrees, II
humid enough to be decidedly uncomfortable
we'll into the night.
Taken all in all. July has thus far been most ~
markabe for the humidity that has hung in the air
nearly all the time. and although the heat has sell
dom risen to phenomenal figures. the discomfort Of
the popuace has been more than could be borne
without much faultfindng.
There have been thus far in the month days
in which the percentage has risen TO the top-notch
figures Il 100 per cent. One OF these days was tbs
great and glorious Fourth, and the other was tust
five days later. On one day It 49, on another Il
81, and several days It to IS. while yes
terday It went up one degree higher. July was the
only day when the humidity fell to anywhere
the normal point. Thus 1t appears that there Is
siderable Justification for the growing In which the
American public mas been ndulging. The continued
high humidity has been something out Of the or
binary.
Following is a table showing the figures which
the humidity has reached thus far In the present
