ABOUT eARTH's ENVELOPE.
Three Layers of Air-cold and Gales
of Hiah Attitudes.


OF High Attitudes.
The new science of the air is the
result of many hundred kite and
sounding balloon flights made by day
and by night in fair weather and foul
over land and sea, at all seasons of
the year and from the equator To the
Arctic Circle. Most people know
that the warm air surrounding the
earth is only thin belt. but we do
not most of us know that at ten miles
above the earth IL would not only be
bitterly cold but the sun would appear
quite different.
The air is stratifed in three more
or less distinct layers. In the lowest
we live. IL extends about two miles
and is a region of turmoil. whimsical
winds. cyclones and anti-cyclones. At
two miles the freezing point is reach
ed and then there is a second STRAIT
um extending upward for about anoth-
er six miles. Here the air grows
steadily colder and drier, the lowest
temperature recorded being 167 degrees
below freezing point. Here the air
moves i'm great planetary swrls pro-
duced by the spinning of the earth
on its axis, so that the wind always
blows i'm the same eastery direction.
The greater the hight the more fur
ious is the blast of this relentless
gale. After this layer comes the third
or isothermal stratum. discovered al
most simultaneously by NJ. de Bort
and DR.. Assmann. This is called
the permanent inversion stratum, be-
cause the temperature increases with
the hight reached. But the tempera-
lures so far recorded i'm the second
stratum are not high, being far below
zero Fahrenheit, generally somewhere
from 122 degrees to 14O degrees below
it.
Here the air no longer swirls i'm a
planetary circle. The wind may blow
i'm a direction contrary to that i'm the
second layer. And the air invariably
is excessively dry. Where this third
stratum ends no one knows. But il
must be at more than eighteen miles
above the earth. For sounding bal
looms have reached this hight and
have not found the end of the per-
manent inversion layer of air. When
the influence of the upper regions
Of air upon the lower is fully under
stood it may be possible to foretell the
weather not merely for day, but for
