To the Editor of the "NonTH-CHINA DAILY News."
Sim—In last week's "Gazette" there' appears a*statement that during June last the humidity in Shanghai reached the maximum i.e, 100 per cent. I: may be unwise for a layman to question the recorded observations of scientists but Tam assured that were this phenomena actually to occur, mankind would be swept off by thousands—animal life being unable to exist under such conditions.
Personally methinks the observa. tions were taken from your old pal erratic behaviour at times would record anything. Has a mistake been made?
Tam, ete.
