by the various weather bureaus, but
though taken In the afternoon, were
called s o'clock observations. as 1t was
believed that in the region above 1,5O0
meters diurnal variation in tempera-
ture could be safely neglected.
AS an example Of the beneficial re-
suits of definite knowledge OF what is
going on in the upper strata, suppose
that a low pressure storm center Is
forming just above the surface air.
Low pressures are of a cyclonlc nature,
and were the observers able to discov-
er this pressure while il was forming
they would be able to warn the COM
munity over which it was settling. AS
it is at present, if the layer is peaceful
the observer has no way of knowing
what is happening up above. If suth-
cient knowledge of the upper air cur
rents could be obtained it would be
possible to forecast a season together
with detailed ~forecasting from day to
day.
One of the most useful discoveries
at the beginning of the kite flights was
the direction of the wind in the upper
layers, showing the marked tendency
of south and east winds To shift to he
right at increasing attitudes, the alti-
tude at which the shift occurs being
generally below $3.50 feet. The depth
of the several air layers having differ
ent directions is also of the greatest
Importance, as by a rough knowledge

Observations have resulted in the
knowledge that relatively warm layers
of air exist between the extreme cold
Of the surface air and the extreme cold
Of the outer limit OF atmosphere, and
these layers are known as inverse lay
ers. Actions of low and high baron
eters are as yet "A mystery 10 the

some of these mysteries that the gov

SERPENT OF AESCULAP!US.
Worship Of Snakes Led to Adoption Of
the Mystical Symbol.

1t has been pointed out by DR.. T. u

However that may be, serpents w re

The serpent, indeed, came in time to
be the special mystical emblem or sym
Dol of the Aesculapian art.
The serpents Of the ancient Greek
temples were in all probability relics
of that primitive serpent worship
which was at one time universal among
prehistoric peoples and has not died
out among many savage races at the
present day.
And ''vOodoo," or obj" serpent wor-

A PECULIAR SPIDER.
He Catches Birds as Big as Larks In

His Mammoth Web.
Far up in the mountains Of Ceylon
there is a spider that spins a web like
bright yellowish silk. the central net
Of which is five feet in diameter, while
the supporting lines, or guys. as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet, and, riding quickly in the
into it, the stout threads twining round
your face like lace veil, while, as the
creature that has woven it takes up
his position in the middle, he generally
catches you right in the nose. and,
though he seldom bites or stings, the
contact Of his large body and long legs
is anything but pleasant. If you for
get yourself and try to catch him, bite
he will, and. though not venomous,
his jaws are as powerful as birds
heak. ard you are not likely to forget
the encounter.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated. being bright
gold or scarlet underneath. while the
upper part is covered with the most
delicate slate co!ored fur. So strong
are the webs that birds the size of
larks are frequently caught therein
and even the small but powerful scaly
lizard falls victim. \ writer says
