Puzzle of the Air.

The average person regards air
much as be regards water-as much
lighter, Of course, but like it other
wise. Calm air is precisely to him as
calm water in pool. II there Is a
wind he pictures the air as flowing
river. And just so long as all men
looked at it so, says 'EverybOdy's
Magazine, just so long the birds kept
their monopoly. For the only state
in which water approaches the condi
tion of air is when water forms a
maelstrom. Even then water in Its
mildest turbulence falls far short of
the unstable, incessant agitation Of
the atmosphere. Air IS never still.
1t is filled with warm waves ascend
ing, cold waves descending, and
through it race GLOSS shoots and
diagonal shoots, with corkscrew
whirlwinds wandering hither and yon,
as they list. The warm air off a
corntield creates one kind of dis
turbance, off plowed land it creates
another. A layer of cold air may
hold down a layer Of warmer air.
Consider what happens when the
warm air breaks through its envelope
as a mill pond bursts its dam. "A
flowing stream ohurned to and fro
and round and round and up and
down would give feeble idea of the
airs incopstancy. ......
Now, a bird circling with fixed
wings floats on a rising column of
air. 1t maintains its altitude as to
the earth, but it is constantly coast
ing down through the airs ascending
volume. Once the bird loses the air
colnmn it has to flap its wing, and
it flaps till it finds alother column,
when it goes on wheeling again with
fixed wing. Moreover, when it flies
the wing comes toward it in waves,
rising and falling like the billows OF
the sea. 1t meets them. and then it
does precisely what boat does-goes
over them or goes through them. The
Wrights learned all this, and when
they'd learned they we're about as
near to flying as you aud l would he
to writing Chinese philosophy when
we'd Just. learned the English alpha
bet Furthermore, there were no
teachers. living or dead, that could
help them more than a few steps
