Measnring Air Temperature.

A novel method Of determining the
temperature of the air at great heights
has been proposed by a German ply.

lin society for ballooning. Small bal.
looms are sent up at night, each pro.
vided with a thermometer arranged Ia
give flashes Of light by the closing of
an electric circuit when certain tenn.
peratures are reached. A SO called
''phototheodolite' is affected by the

mechanical way. A more accurate
idea of the rate Of decrease of tempcra.
ture with height is expected with this
