Probably the most interesting Of all the nu-
merous experiments of the Weather Bureau,
from a popular standpoint. have been those
that mark significant development in forecast
ing by the use of kitcs- There is weak spot
in most peoples makeup in favor Of o kite,
and when they assume the size and remarkable
shape OF tho Weather Bureau kites and float
one or two miles above the surface Of the earth
they are vested with an unusual interest. The
fact has been established that shifting OF the
wind occurs at mile level above tho earth's
surface from IL to l6 hours before the same
change of direction occurs on the surface. This
will enable the Weather Bureau to make more
accurate forecasts The aeroplane invcstiga-
tons have reached a point where it can be
stated that within six months the Government
Weather Bureau, for the first time in the his
tory of any meteorological service. can con.
struct a telegraphc chart based on air condi-
lions one mile above the earth.
