curate determination OF height by angular
measurements; adequate exposure and
ventilation of the thermometers which in
a balloon are bathed in heated and stag
nant air, so that the temperatures OBJ
served at a given height in a balloon are
generally warmer during the descent than
during the ascent. which is not the case
with kites; and the possibility Of making
frequent ascents and descents, permit
ting observations to be obtained almost
simultaneously in different air strata and
nearly over a station at the ground where
there may be instruments recording 81
multaneously. with these points of ad-
vantage it is not strange to learn that
kites are being increasingly used not only
in the United States, but in Europe,
where many meteorological stations are
already following the lead in the Blue
Hill Observatory.
