Cat's Fur. Electricity and Dry Air Sometimes you see little tags ou the backs of automobiles. "If you can read this sign you are too darn close to me." We might paraphrase a little and say, It you see sparks in a cat s fur, the air in the room is too darn dry for your health." When a comb, or even your hand, passes rapidly over hair it electrifies it, and in the dark you can see small flashes of fire. In

some modern homes and offices where steam radiators run full blast and where the window strips fit so tightly that not even a microbe could get through, obtaining fresh moist air is a problem. If the air is so dry that it permits an electric charge to build up on a cat's fur or on your own hair, the air is also dry enough to menace your health. The strong evaporation takes water from your skin until your flesh chaps. It makes your lips crack, your nose is too dry, sometimes your eyes

We have found that nothing short of a small jet of steam from a tea kettle or wet clothes in the room will really moisten dry air. The mechanism of electricity in a cat s fur is interesting. Electricity. you know, seems to be made of two things, electrons and protons. Normally the two are combined In equal amounts in all kinds of matter. When you rub your hands over a cat, or run a comb through your hair you pull some of the electrons away from the protons. There is water vapor in the air. electricity uses its molecules as carriers, but when water vapor is absent the particles of electricity find it much harder to get together when once separated. Then the protons and electrons build up a state of agitation, called an electric charge, with crowds of particles of each sort trying with all their might to pet to the other sort. Finally they

If you don't have a cat in your home, or if you are bald-headed and have no hair to comb, we have humidity cards to tell when the air in your home is too dry.

Will a sixty power telescope show the ring of Saturn and the bolts of’Jupiter and the so-called canals of Mars plainly? R.L.M. A. It should show Jupiter and ' Saturn's ring well. I do not think it is big enough to show the canals of Mars. Telescopes are like jewelry, some well worth the price, i some junk at any pried. Q. Why does the sun shine so seldom in the winter time? L.S. A. If you live in places where the Gulf Stream of the Air or the ' Japan current of the air flows strongly in winter, you will see little sunshine. In places where i those streams are absent in winter, as in California. Mexico, Texas and Florida, is more sun- ■ shine. I Q. Why is December 21st the i shortest day In the year? M.O. A. The sun reaches its furth- ■ est point south in the sky near this day. But December 21st is the longest day in the year in the , southern hemisphere, in its sumi men Sixteen Weeks of Rainfall So many letters have come to ■ Prof. Selby Maxwell from all parts
