The | recent report by Prof. David Brunt before the Royal Institution offered conclusions that may surprise the layman who considers himself something of an author- ity on weather. Professor Brunt's summary of his | extensive investigations is largely concerned with the matter of an ideal climate—the environment in which man can function at his physical and intellectual peak of efficiency. According to the report the ideal climate is one in hour without sweating, or, if he chooses, sit in the shade without shivering. This ideal situation is best | met if the temperature is about 67 degrees Fahrenheit | and the relative humidity is approximately 60 per cent. | Another student of the problem, Major S. L.
