when the temperature is high. Or
course, when the mercury goes above
a certain height the vitality is lowered
and this is indicated clearly in the as
sault figures. Thus in studying a rec
ord OF 40. 900 arrests for assault, II was
found that on days when the mean
temperature was below so degrees the
number OF assaults was from 10 to SO
per cent below the normal, the num-
Der increasing with the temperature
until the maximum Is reached at So
degrees. when the number Of assaults
Is so per cent above the average
Above So degrees. however. the num-
Der Of assaults decreases rapidly, there
being apparently little energy left for
hghung in conditions Of such great
heat.
Professor Dexter announces several
general conclusions as a result OF his
studies along the various lines men
toned. It is. first Of all, clear that the
weather has a distinct and marked IN
huence upon each OF the classes Of hui
man activity studied. II Is certain
that a weather state which is accom-
panied by an increase in the number
of certain OF these activities is accom-
panied By decrease In others. Ihat
the activities considered may be d.
ylded into two classes those which are
due 10 an excess OF bodily energy and
those which are due 70 a deficiency
Of Il and. finally. that activities OF
these two classes are affected, in dlf-
ferent ways by weather conditions.
One interesting branch Of the study

A study Of 100. 900 errors reported

banks shows that here. too. the num-
Der increases with weather conditions
which tend to lower the bodily vital
ity. Weakness in tests Of physical
strength are also more prominent
when such weather conditions exist
Another curious and interesting
conclusion Is drawn from a study OF
the effects OF rising winds on various
human activities In the matter Of
suicides. for instance. the rate varies
from one-half 70 normal when the
wind velocity is less than 150 miles
q day TO more than twice the normal
when the wind velocity reaches 500
miles a day. In all disorders Of an
active nature there is a great falling
on when calm prevails. For this
demonstrated fact curious explana-
ton is offered. Il has been discovered
By scientists that on calm days the
amount of carbonic dioxide in the Vi
,iated atmosphere OF the crowded por-
tions Of great cities Is three times
greater than the normal. Carhonic
dioxide has. of course. a quioting and
Supplying effect upon the human
body. and the cause Of the falling on
in active disorders is thereby ex-
plained. when the wind blows the
atmosphere Is stirred up. the carbon
dioxide is blown away and under the
vitalizing effect Of a plentiful supply
OF oxygen the bodily activities are
greatly Increased.
A curious result obtained IN the
study OF 3 large number of cases q

! there are many more attempts at self
destruction on bright and sunny days

Professor Dexter has gone about MS

explained by the statement that the
vitality Of the body Is greatest during

Especially striking is the fact that
drunkenness Increases with the veloe-

show that the amount of drunkenness
Is q per cent below the average. while
in the case OF high wind velocity the
amount OF drunkenness Is 20 per cent
above the average. This Is explained
on the theory that In the winter time
