Show Weather and Human Conduct. Dr. Edwin G. Dexter, according to Tit-Bits, has made a study of the effects ef-fects of the weather on human conduct, con-duct, the results of which are rather surprising. He shows by a system of tabulation that misdemeanors involving involv-ing violence, such as assaults, are morej common in bright weather, and that the same is true of suicides. On the other hand, mental errors, such as mistakes mis-takes in bank figures, are more common com-mon in wamp, rainy weather. His inference in-ference is that the excess of energy produced by a bracing condition of the air is responsible for more violence than is the "ugly temper" caused by bad weather, because the latter, while lowering the spirits, diminishes the activity ac-tivity of men. |
