MYSTERIES OF MUGGINES
A PHASE OF .SUMMF.I. WEATHER.
Oft, od bygone summer dava, when his million*
mdatory glands were displaying a pernicious actlv
whlch only rhar of a Ivmocratlo oflico-holder workl
for flivcland's ? ejecrton could equal, and wh
neither 'nelegant dishabille nor Iced beverages, pl
osophy nor profanity would sensibly assuage his ni
cry, the suspicion has stolen across the mind of ma
a sweltering mortal that anmefhlng besides me

and nf the suffering lally has, therefore, been high
awakened of late. It has Important bearings on heal
and comfort which are not yet fully understood.
Something of irs lmmedlaro operations ran be gat
ered by comparing one's sensation* on a liol d;
with the Iridlcr.rions of a hygrometer. One form

high cn this sldo of the hygrometer as on the othe
the difference depending upon, and hence betrayln
tho precise amount of vapor in thn air. On two su
cessive day*, for Instance, the ordinary thermometo
and consequently the dry-bulb thermometer of ti
moisture measurer, might register 00? In the shsd<
Hut If on one of these afternoons the wet bulb Ind
cation was 858, and on fhe next only TAT, tho weathr
In the former case would seem much more sultrr
In the first Instance the humidity would be .eil-th"
ls, th" air would be Dl per cent saturated and wool
not, readily take up more moisture. Hence, evaporr
tlon from a perspiring cuticle would be very slow, ari
the consequent re fresh mern of that process slight. I
Ihe other ease, the air would be only 47 per SN
saturated, and evaporation, especially If aaatstad fa
a light breeze or the use of a fan, would proceed rag
Idly, and the air would seem to |,e remarkably bracln
and delicious. I.'ulnoui as lt || tu linen, the phenomc
non of perspiration ls In summer a wonderfully btoaoe
provision of nature: but the relief it was designed t.
afford depends upon the freedom with Which It evapo
rates : and thl*, lo turn, upon the degree to which th
sponge Uk? atmosphere ls already saturated.
