’ Bellefonte, Pa., June 4, 1907. FORCES THAT MOVE THE AIR. Contrasts In Temperature, High and Low Pressure and a Law of Nature Called the Deflecting Force of the Earth's Rotation. It is a matter of common observa- tion that when the window of a warm room is opened on a still winter night the cold air from without rushes into the room. Nearer the ceiling the svarer air is forced out of the win- , thus completing a general atmos- pherie circulation on a miniature scale. These currents of air, which might properly be called wind, would not occur if the air within doors was not warmer and consequently lighter than the air without, The range in temperature between the equator and the north pole amounts in winter to considerably more than 100 degrees F., and in summer the contrast is also great. Moreover, in summer the continents are warmer than the oceans, but in winter the re- verse is true. Three examples will serve to illustrate how such contrasts affect the winds of the world. At the equator the temperature aver- ages about 80 degrees throughout the year. Consequently the lower air flows in from regions of high pressure on each side, forming what are known as the trades. These winds cover nearly one-half of the earth's surface and blow with much steadiness the year round. The monsoons, or ‘seasonal winds,” of India and the Indian ocean are the most interesting of their class. In summer the cooler ocean air pushes in toward the land, while the warmer air over the continents rises to a consid- erable height and then flows out to sea, forming a systematle circulation between ocean and continent. In win- ter the ocean is warmer than the con- tinent, and the winds reverse their direction. The “land and sea breezes” occur with much regularity near large bodies of water in some parts of the world. The ocean is cooler than the land dur- ing the day and warmer at night, caus- ing on a small scale a daily inter- change of.air similar to that caused by the monsoons. A clear knowledge of the term “air pressure” is very helpful in studying the causes of wind. Alr, like a stone, presses against the ground—in other words, it has weight, amounting to no less than 2,117 pounds upon every square foot of the earth's surface at sea level—but, unlike a stone, the at- mosphere is elastic to a high degree and also presses in all other directions. On account of this elasticity of the air, certain forces which arise from differences In temperature and the earth's rotation cause it to become dense or heavy in some regions and rare or light in other regions. It is the effort of the atmosphere to overcome these pressure differences and resume a state of equal density that causes the winds to blow. The column of mercury in a barome- ter tube is always just balancing a column of air of the same diameter, reaching from the barometer to the fo of the atmosphere. If the air is the mercury will of course stand high In the tube, and to express this condition we use the term “high pressure,” but if the air is rare the mercury will stand low in the tube, and we then use the term “low pres- sure.” Over the United States, Canada and other parts of the world the pressure is ascertained each day at numerous stations. The barometer readings, ex- pressed in inches of mercury, are tele- graphed to a central point and there charted on 2a map. The exact regions where the pressure is high or low may then be seen at a glance. It has been learned from such observations that these areas are constantly moving eastward at an average rate of about 600 miles per day. Technically the low pressure areas are called “cyclones” and the high pressure areas “anticyclones.” They are frequently 1,000 or more miles in ‘diameter. The little stor:ns of great (destructive force so often called cy- ciones are really tornadoes. ' The higher the pressure in any par ticular region relative to some other region the greater will be the velocity ‘of the wind. The winds blow much faster in winter than in summer, be- cause the greater contrasts of tempera- ture cause more decided differences in A — Colleges & Schools. pressure. . Observations demonstrate, however, that the wind never blows in straight lines, because all bodies of air when in motion are acted upon by a law of nature called the “deflecting force of the earth’s rotation.” This force turns all wind to the right of its course in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern. | Thus If a wind in our hemisphere starts north it is soon turned slowly toward the northeast, or if it starts west it will soon turn toward the northwest. When it Is remembered that at the equator the earth is rotat- ing at the enormous velocity of 1,085 miles an hour, one will not wonder that such a deflecting force could exist. All areas of high and low pressure, from whatever cause, therefore become whirling masses of air, and a little thought will show that they must turn in opposite directions. In the north- ern hemisphere the low areas, or “lows,” as they are designated on the weather map, always rotate in a di- rection contrary to that of the hands of a watch.—Youth's Companion. John L.

Lennon, a prisoner at Fort Jay, near New York city, for desertion, the pres- ident has informed the war depart- ment that he does not think Lennon actually intended to desert when he left his post in Cuba in December, 1906, and that he would like to com- mute the sentence so that Lennon might serve out his enlistment. The matter now is under consideration, but the law officers are almost unanimous in the belief that the president's pow- ers are limited to a pardon, and that he cannot restore the man to the service, Two Suffocated In Burning Home, Detroit, May 13.—Alibert Gerutt, 35 years old, and his 6-year-old daughter Anna were suffocated when their home took fire while the family were asleep.

His honor Judge Willis, on one occa- sion going home in an omnibus which landed him at an inn known as the Green Man, as usual passed the time in friendly discourse with the passen- gers. To one housewife who had been marketing be remarked that, owing to free trade, she was enabled to buy much more for her money than if she lived in a tariff country. To others he talked freely and dispensed counsel and advice indiscriminately. Arrived at his destination, he intimated to the conductor, “I want to get out at the Green Man.” Accordingly the omnibus slowed down, but as he was leaving his seat a lady touched him on the sleeve and earnestly inquired, “My good man, don’t you think you've had enough 7’—London Tit-Bits, The Koran.

The college president who figures in the following incident doubtless suffer ed a cruel shock at first, but when he found that his benefactor was acting in good faith and was thoroughly in earnest amusement over the situation must have made some light amends for his disappointment: He was on a trip to secure an endow- ment for his institution when he re celved this letter from Lone Tree: President—Can you preach at Lone Tree church next Sunday and then go home with me to dinner? Mother and me wants to endow two chairs in your college. Very traly, JONAS SMITH. He joyfully accepted the situation after discovering that Jonas Smith was a very wealthy farmer, to whom the endowment of two chairs would work no hardship. After the dinner which followed the sermon the conversation came to the important subject in hand, and the farmer said: “Now, I know you can buy a good, strong, stout chair for 00 cents, but we want to do more than that for the college, and mother and me have decided that we are will ing to give 75 cents each to endow tw chairs, one for mother and one for me.” ' Castoria.
