A UTOMOBILE speeding through crowded streets of New York City is still a favorite summer sport for brainless fools and murderous thugs. Despite all the agitation and all the acci+ dents, Magistrate House of the new Traffic Court reports that he sees Bo let-up in the pastime. He thinks that “we shall have much trouble with this situation until there is a law requiring licensing of owners, just as chauffeurs are licensed now after an examination as to qualifications, with the eame power to revoke owner's license for cause.” The Evening World suggests that while waiting for new laws in the uncertain future there is opportunity for exercise of considerable judicial power under present statutes. Fines are no more than tipe to the rich and reckless, The chance of being arrested and fined simply adds gest to the carcer of the speed maniac, Furthermore, one-fifth of the fines in the past were sus- pended after being imposed. There are jails, Magistrate Houac, and there are hundreds of pages of laws already on the statute books, Somebody ought to find the combination, , C siderably in excess of other forms of art and literature in midsummer. Maurice Ketten, whose cartoons in The Evening World delight vast numbers of people, has been studying the subject with his whimsical yet philosophic analysis, #o essentially French in atyle, and demonstrates some unnoticed potentialities. Mr. Ketten observes, for example, that high temperature in America produces high temperaments. Nothing scoms to alleviate this inflamed condition of nerves and mind 40 effectively as a humor- ous picture. It diverts thoughts and drives away excitement. If grouchy, as many people are in summer time, a funny picture produces a smile that breaks the ice and helps cool off everybody round about. Even a comic that is not funny still has value asa sedative. Its depressing effect may put you to sleep to dream of tho North Pole, It is always well to keep toned down in warm weather, anyway, Another material advantage of the newspaper comic observed by Mr. Ketten is that the page is light and can be carried without burden when every extra ounce counts, How much more reasonable it is on a hot day to laugh over the light fancies of an artist's humor than to carry around a serious book that is heavy both in hand and head, Besides, the comic can be held in one hand, leaving the other free for fanning or swatting flies, which is an impossibility with a book or magazine. Under adverse weather conditions the comic page has} value as a chest protector or to shade your head from the sun or, to} save your lady’s hat from rain, Some people like to read, some like to look at pictures, but every- body enjops a comic picture, which contains both, _ a CAN YOU BEAT IT?

The story i told that the pump makers to the Duke of Florence that water would not rise higher than 32 feet when the pump the problem turned to Gulileo, who, being busy on some other form of) scientific research, suggested to his) secretary, Evangelista Torricelll, t he work out the solution of the pump makers’ problem, Torricelli, making experiments day by day, at last discovered that if it be a weight of air which counter- poises the 32 feet of water, it must follow that by the substitution of mercury instead of the height of the column necessary to counter- Poise the weight of alr would be re- duced in the proportion in which mercury is heavier than water, Tor- ricelli died in 1647, before he bad es- tablished the truth of this theory. To Blaise Pascal of France and Boyle of England is due the com pletion of the cgnstruction of the instrument of these times, Pascal after many fruitless experiments hit one day upon the device of tryi the barometer at the base and the summit of the mountain of Pay do Drome, in Auvergne, the result be- ing that the mercury which at the base showed 261-2 inches was only 231-2 inches at the summit in cor- respondence to the lighter weight of the atmosphere. Thus was the fact For at least a century! « was exhausted, and for a solution of| ., established that the weight of the air on any horigontal base was equivalent to a weight of mercury at the same base. The accepted rules by which one may use a baromter as a weather glass are thus daid down by Jdhn Patrick, the famous English maker, as follows: The motion of the mercury 4 not exceed three inches in its rising or falling in a barometer of the common form; its least alterations are to be watched, ‘The rising of the mercury generally Indicates fair weather, while the fall is the forerunner of rain, snow, high winds and storms, In very torrid weather, however, the fall of the mercury is a sign of thunder, In winter the rising of the mer. cury is evidence of frost, while the dropping in. frostly weather tmme- ditely precedes a thaw.
