THE BAROMETER'S RANGE.
Interesting Figures Concerning the

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Str: A
correspondent asks to be informed as
to the highest and also the lowest bar
ometer readings recorded, and suggests
an answer In THE SUN.
II Ii not likely that either reading
herewith quoted Is an extreme from
the nature Of the case. however. the
figures cannot be far out OF the way.
The highest reading recorded in the
United States seems to have been at
Fort Assiniboine, Montana, 1921 inches
on January 9, 1886.
Mr.. p. r. Jamison. a meteorologist
OF Rochester. and an extensive trav-
eller. reports 31.72 inches at Semipala-
tinsk. Siberia, December 16. 1877.
General A. w. Greedy. one time chief
of the United States Weather Bureau,
quotes 4 record of 81 inches at his camp
in Arctic regions.
Mr.. Scarr's records give 30.33 inches as
the highest in New York city.
According to Mr.. Jamison. the Cunard
steamship Tarifa caught a reading of
27.3S inches near the Bapks February 3,
1870; a still lower reading was observed
by the steamship Manchester Inventor
during the morning of January 10. when
the barometer fell to 26. 90 inches. This &C.
Cured in the north Atlantic and is
thought to be the lowest reading noted.
The lowest reading observed in New
York city was made January 3, 1918 /:
it was 1851 inches.

Mr.. Scarr was in low spirits.

NICOTINE AND HEALTH.
The Experience Of a Tobacco Gutter.

|, To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN--Sir: In
Mr.. o'ReillXs letter in THE Sun this
morning the very last sentence contains
the keynote.
Very few want to quit IT,
Probably this is the reason why SO
few do quit smoking.
1 am AZ years old. 7 started smoking
when l was IA, and smoked excessively
for period OF twenty years. one
bright morning made up my mind that
smoking was making a wreck of me, so
forthwith l stopped. In fact I stopped
SO suddenly that it almost killed me.
For eight years after that L never
touched a smoke OF any kind. Then cir
cumstances were such that deliberately
started smoking again. This time |
fairly devoured it, and in n few months
I was nervous, my throat troubled me,
1 caught cold easily and was in a gcn-
oral run down condition, but still 1 loved
my smokes.
Once again I came to life and real
ized what fool ! was making OF my
SELF so l vowed for all time | would
quit the vile, poisonous weed, and did.
Now | have no desire whatever TO use
tobacco.
II Mr.. O'Reilly and other victims
could only realize how very much bet
ter their general health and spirits
would be, they surely would abandon
this slothful habit.
Now let me tell you how: Simply use
your will. 1t can be done.

Signs in the Subway and Elsewhere

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: Your
correspondent who signed himself "Ob-
server" showed very plainly by his
letter that he is not an observer. Like
tho majority OF Englishmen, he does
not see a point, nor n sign evidently,
until long after the psychological mo-
ment for observation has passed.
The New York. New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad stations all have large
signs at each end of their platforms
giving tho name OF the town. but on
fast moving trains one has to observe
quickly to catch the name; neverthe-
less, 1t Is there.
