CAUSE OF DRY SUNDAYS.
Dr. J. R. Ashworth, a member of the Royal Meteorological Society, explains why Sunday is the driest day of the week in British industrial areas. The lesser rainfall of Sunday may reasonably be attributed to the lesser emission on that day of smoke and hot gases from factory chimneys. Mondays have the highest rainfall, and on these mornings there is, especially in winter, a vigorous outpouring of dense smoke from factory chimneys due to the restarting of the furnaces after the Sunday rest.
