his HulnIuIty buSIHcSS-
Elsewhere on this page is a Squib
telling about how humid it was at
5 am, which brought RR to the
question: What is humidity? Seem
ingly we've always been wrong in
the simple thought that you could
find 100 per cent humidity only in
a swimming pool, the ocean, a
drinking glass or some similar or
related place. 1t seems this humi-
dity we're always talking about is
a relative thing. SO, after delVing
in encyclopedias, dictionaries, Who's
WhoseS, Burke's Peerages and the
minds of various experts, we shall
try to explain.
Relative humidity, we now under
stand Tor do Wc?), has to do with
the saturation point of little bits OF
air. When those little fellows have
gorged themselves on water and
cannot hold any more, they're 100
per cent humid. If they got any
more humid they wouldn't, because
Ne water would drop out of them,
Jr off of them, or wherever fc IS ~
drops from In other words par
ticle of air is like a sponge which
can hold only SO much water When
it gets more than it can hold, quite
naturally, it doesn't hold it. Some
thing happens. What happens, VIC
forgot to find out. Maybe it rains,
but 100 per cent humidity isn't
necessary to rain. Air currents Often
put the squeeze on those little bits
of air when they've been quite mod
crate in their water consumption
and then it rains.
But it seems that 100 per cent
relative humidity =.
AW, hell! Let it rain!

Brain TwizzIers

A young physicist was having fun
instructing group of students one
day in the absence of their regular
professor. He proposed number
of experiments that taxed the in
telligence and ingenuity OF the stu
dents and several which confused
them completely. Perhaps you would
be interested in thinking over one
experiment that was done. Let's
take as the material to work with
! pound of lead and l pound of
feathers. Certainly you've heard
the old one about the lead and
feathers, but this is something to
ponder. If the lead was packed into
a waterproof container and the
feathers packed into a container ex-
actly like it, which would be heavier
and displace the more water? Easy
now, think carefully.
