FIGURE HUMIDITY
IN WEATHER REPORT
Government Bureau Will Take Obser-
vations in Middle Of Day and
Include This In Reports.

The relative humidity in the mid
die Of the day will hereafter be in
cluded in the weather reports furnish
ed daily by the weather bureau to
the newspapers, says a Washington
dispatch. At present observations IF
the relative humidity are taken at
o'clock in the morning and o'clock
In the evening, but at these times
the temperature is likely to be much
lower and the relative humidity much
higher than in the middle of the dav.
An extra observation Of the relative
humidity will therefore be taken,
probably at p. m.
This additional information is ex-
pected to be not only of general hi-
terest to the public at large, but OF
practical value in certain branches of
manufacturing. The humidity Of the
atmosphere plays, for example, IN
important part in cotton spinning, and
in many textile mills it is necessary
to increase it by artificial means. An
observation of the relative humidity
at 2 p. m. will indicate much more
accurately actual working conditions
than figures obtained at the beginning
or end of the day.

IS INTERESTING BOAT

The u. S. torpedo boat Sommers
proved quite an attraction yesterday
morning during the hours that the
boat was open to visitors at the local
wharf. The boat was captured by the
citizens of the Keokuk, who accepted
the invitation OF the boats crew in
Yesterdays Gate City, and visited the
graceful little craft, which was an.
chored just above the government
lock-
The Sommers lay alongside one o.
the big government barges, and was
boarded from the sea wall, temper
ary plank having been run from the
wall TO the barge. On board the boat
people were at liberty to go where
they pleased, and the members Of the
crew were painstaking in their efforts
to see that everything was explained.
The quarters in the Sommers are
below decks, fore and aft. The en-
gines are also below decks. Nearly
all of the visitors descended through
the narrow hatchway to visit the
quarters and the engine room. There
was plenty of interest on the deck.
too to be seen and to be explained by
the tackles who belong to the Illi-
aois naval reserve.
Guns Interest Visitors.
The sommers is equipped with four
one pound guns. These proved an
object Of much interest to the visit
ors, and the crew obligingly explain
ed the mechanism. There were the
usual group # hero-worshipping fem
Unity and small boys following the
natty uniforms. too. Those who visit
e1 the boat about noon had an oppor-
tunity to see the cook at work in the
galley This brough back memories
Of the days when the cook tent at the
circus grounds was the big center of
attraction.
One question which the visitors In
variably asked was that concerning
the torredoes and torpedo tubes. The
torpedo tubes are not shown to the
public. They are amidship, howeve-
The torpedoes can not be left on the
deck because of the fact that they
would take IN considerable room, and
also that their mechanism is SO fine
that the least touch by unframed
hands would spoil this adjustment.
Curious visitors would be certain to
move some OF the valves or levers.
Torpedoes Move Under Water.
The torpedoes when DISCHARGED, go
straight out over the deck and drop in.
to the water, racing along short dis
lance below the surfaces towards the
mark aimed at. They .are not dis
charged under water from boat OF
the Sommers type.
The sommers presented graceful
