How TO SEE THE WIND.-Take poll ished metallic surface Of two feet or more, with striaght edge-a large hand-saw will answer the purpose. Take windy day, whether hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not rain, or the air be murky--in other words, let the air be dry and clear; is better if the wind be steady, but this is not essential. Hold your metallic surface at right angles to the direction of the wind-e. g. if the wind is north, hold your surface directed est and west, but instead of holding tho surface vertical, incline it a5out forty five degrees to the horizon. so that tho wind, striking, glances and flows over the edge Ckcep- ing it straight) as the water over dam. Now sight carefully over the straight edge at some minute and sharply de- med object, and you sec the air flow over IS water flows over dam. Make you observations carefully, and you will hardly ever fail to see the air, no matter how cold the result is even better when the sun is obscurod.
