Humidity Pitiless to City.
rho severe rainstorm OF Monday af-
ternoon had failed TO temper the neat
Yesterday, and the humidity held high
carnival all day. There was one saving
feature. however for as the heat rose
roint bv point. from s O'Clock lin tho
morning. when it was u degrees, until
.. 40 o'clock In the afternoon, when IL
was Sc. the humidity slowly descended,
dropping 20 points between o'clock In
tho morning and O'Clock in the after
noon.
There was a breeze but II seemed
blown direct from a vast furnace and
small relief was experienced from its
feeble ministrations Not only did hu-
manitv suffer yesterday. The horses
pulling heavy loads through the sun
| baked streets, staggered at their work,
many Of them falling from sheer ex-
haustion. The 8. p. c. 4. street foun-
tains we're the means Of saving many
an animals life and we're patronized
from early morn until sunset
New York looked lopsided about
midday. Everybody sought the shady
| sides Of the streets, while the sunny
| sides we're deserted. Cool drinks were
consumed by the thousands Of gallons
| and purveyors in these luxuries were
about the only persons who INDUCED
| in smiles.
II was a peculiar day. Up in Wash
ington Heights, on the ridge Of Man
haitian Island, the scorching rays of the
afternoon sun were suddenly obliter-
ated about $50 o'clock by a narrow
wedge Of inky clouds with silver lin
,rq Persons who a moment before had
been mopping their foreheads lifted
their faces heavenward to be met with
a downpour of rain.
No Relief in Forecast.
This snrinkle lasted for about half
an hour but during that brief visit II
served 20 lower temperature and hu-
midity alike.
