900, 900 ton to n total of 200. 900, 00O

to the motion of this II conceivable
mass, at vclocities varying all the way
from the slightest zephyr to the hurri-
cane and the cyclone rushing oyer the
prairie or along the surface Of the sea
at more than 100 miles an hour. Again,
according to this authority, a cubic
mile of air, weighing about 10, $780,
