Everybody probably feels that his or
her mental condition depends, to some
extent upon thec character of the wealth
er. In gloomy weather we are, Of
course, apt to be depressed, and in fair
weather exhilarated. When the atmo-
sphere Is stimulating the mental and
physical energies are enhanced.
Starting from these generally rec
Ognized facts, a well known scientist
at Washington has made a study Of the
effects of the weather on the human
conduct, the results of which are rath-
er surprising. He shows, by a system
OF tabulation, that misdemeanors in
volvins violence, such as assaults, are
more common In bright weather, and
that the same is true of suicides. On
the other hand, mental errors, such as
In bank figures, are more COM
in damp, rainy weather.
The scientists inference is that the
excess of energy produced by a brac-
ing condition of the air is responsible
for more violence than is the "ugly
temper caused by bad weather, be-
the latter, while lowering the
spirits. diminishes the activity of men.

little distance from me with her arms out

piteous bewildered look in her face that

hanging heavily from her shoulders, my

What did Argand do for the lampl

etects the flame from sudden gusts Of

Just - the ire chimney creates a draft
aArgAnd's lamp was the first to have a
chimney. Look below the chimney and
you will e open passages through
which air may pass upward ant find
Its way to the wick. Notice further
<hat q this draft Of air passes upward
ne Il 20 directed that when the lamp
~ burning an extra quantity Of air
plays directly upon the wick. Before
Argand, the wick received no supply OF
mir. Now notice-and this is very Inn
portant-that the wick of our modern
lamp u nat OF circular, but thin. The
aid IN abundance plays upon both sides
M the thin wick, and burns 1t without
making smoke. Smoke is simply half
iburned particles (soot) of a burning
substance. The particles pass of half
burned because enough AFR has not been
supplied. Now Argand, by making the
wick thin and by causing plenty Of air
70 rush into the flame, caused all the
irvick to be burned and thereby caused
lit o burn with u white flame.
After the invention Of Argand, the
7art of lamp-making improved by leaps
and BY bounds. More progress was
N1ade In twenty years after 1888 than
xhac been made In twenty centuries be-
fore. New burners were invented, new
and better oils were used, and better
wicks made. But all the new kinds of
lamps were patterned after the Argand.
The lamp you use at home may not
- . real Argand, but 1t is doubtless
made according to the principles Of the
lamp invented by the Swiss physician
