HUMIDITY GRIPS WHOLE CITY IN
 TERRIFIC HEAT
Mercury Did Not Rise So High But the Heat Is
 Terrific

Intense humidity, rather than the rays of the sun, to-day en- veloped Waterbury in heat that caused the thousands of local res idents to swelter. Unlike the heat of earlier in the present week and the latter part of last weeks to- days heat was very humid and caused intense suffering and much inconvenience.
 At noon to-day, the mercury was only at the S9-degree point, us compared with other days recently passed when the reading was be- tween the 90-degree and 10O-de- gree mark. The night was a most uncomfortable one for the thou sands of Waterburians who sought to sleep.
 At midnight last night the mer- cury was at the 7S-degree mark. At 2 a. m. 1t had dropped to almost "A degrees. This would have been a favorable sleeping temperature but for the humidity.
 At 8 o'clock this morning the mercury was registered at 76 de- grees and at o'clock, when many were getting out of their beds to go to work in the local factories the mercury registered S1 degrees
 The temperature at o'clock this morning was S5 degrees and above zero and at noon it had risen to | the s9 degree position.
 Streets of the city were deserted to some extent to-day as thousands of persons chose to stay home ra' ther than traverse the downtown streets with the humidity so in tense. It Is expected that late thi afternoon many will take their car' l and 20 out into the country to ge what breezes they can.
 The local parks and playground: were well patronized to-day ane the YMCA and Boys Club pools were also taxed to capacity.
 Showers were promised fol. to- night by the weather man. These showers, it was figured by the wea' ther man, will bring cooler wea' ther for tomorrow and much cooler weather for Sunday. Need less to say, the clearing up of the atmosphere and subsequent cool weather will be welcome to every body.
