Synopsis
Excerpt from Reading the Weather, Vol. 43
One strange thing about this flood-tide of science is that it overwhelms the old, buttressed superstitions the easiest Of all, once it really sets about it. For instance, nothing could have been better fortified for centuries than the fact that night air is injurious and should be shut out Of house. Then, science turned its eye upon night air, found it a little cooler, a trifle moister, and somewhat cleaner than day air with the result that we all invite it indoors, now, and even go out to meet it.
