Duruy: Keep the coin as souvenir

The Trade Winds.

The constancy of trade winds is due
to the permanence of the conditions
which rule them. As the heated air Mt
the equator ascends surface winds set
in from north and south and, uniting.
ascend in their turn and flow off in
opposite directions. AS the velocity Of
the earth's revolution from east TO
west is much greater at the equator
than at the poles, wind blowing along
its surface to the equator is constantly
arriving at places which have n higher
velocity than itself; hence it is retard-
ed and must lag behind and under the
influence of two opposing forces it is
compelled to take an intermediate di-
rection, so that what was originally n
north wind is DETECTED and flows
southwest, while what started as n
south wind becomes northwest. From
the great service they have rendered
to navigation these reliable winds are
called trade winds.
