rows are hopping about these naked
limbs and In the street below, devouring
everything edible except the caterpillar.

The property was to have been sold on

WARM AIR ABOVE THE COLD.
A Curious Fact Recently Observed
by Meterorologists.

Dy meteforolo81Sts.
From the New York Sun.
Students Of the upper air were aston
ished when the little balloons they sent
up. with self-recording Thermometers,
told them one day that In the high atmos-
phere there is a stratum which IL warmer
than the air Immediately below it. No
one has yet explained this strange .inver-
sion of temperature. but 1t has now been
observed so many times in different parts
of the world that there can be no doubt
about 1t.
It was discovered in 1891. almost stimuli
taneously. by Mr.. Teisserenc de Bort
near Paris and by Prof. Assmann in Ger
many. Since then nearly all the balloons
that have risen above 10000 feet in CEN
of warmer air. No one knows yet, its
upper limits.
In England it has been found that the
average height OF this layer OF warmer
air IL about $1,000 feet.
In the last three years Dr. A. Lawrence
Rotch has set ahoat seventy-seven bal
lonssondes at St. Louis Most OF those
which rose higher than 5000 feet entered
the stratum OF warmer temperature.
On October D. for INSTANCE. the tempera-
renheit, while at the greater altitude of
"a. 100 feet the temperature had risen to
70 degrees. Two days later the coolest
temperature. 50 degrees was found at
the temperature rose to 50 degrees.
This warmer stratum Of air has not yet
been discovered over the tropical Allan
tic. but the noteworthy fact has been es-
tablished that above the equator in sum-
mer 1t 10 colder at height Of eight miles
than 1t Is in winter at the same height In
north temperate regions.
Meteorologists now think they have rea-
son to believe that this warmer air exists
throughout the tropical regions at heights
exceeding 5000 feet, and that 1t is prob
ably q universal phenomenon existing at
some height all around the globe.
