Discoveries the Paris
"Wind MeasurerS"
Have Made

Consider, for instance, these
things which have recently been
found out by the Aerotechnic In
stitute of the University of Paris:
If two thermometers (wind
measurers) are placed side by
side about II feet above the
ground when wind of from 80
to 48 feet per second is blow
ing, the most remarkable differ
ences in the velocity of the wind
are observed. If the anemo-
meters are only 10 inches apart,
both usually show nearly the
same wind velocity; but if the
distance between them is in
creased to about 81 inches, one
will sometimes show a wind
velocity of 10 feet per second
more rapid than that shown by
the other. But this difference
lasts only for an instant.
If the distance between the
thermometers is increased to 23
or "a feet, the usual length Of an
aeroplane, the differences in the
velocity of the wind shown by
them are occasionally enormous,
but of very brief duration. This
must clearly produce racking
effect upon an aeroplane, which
may be disastrous, for one end
of it may for a second or so ex-
perience resistance double that

been found that a wind whose
average velocity was about SO
feet per second maintained that
velocity for as much as 10 sue
cessive seconds, and then, in a
second and half, dropped to
less than IA feet per second,
which it maintained during two
seconds, after which, in the
course of half a second, it
sprang up to a velocity of so
feet per secondl 1t maintained
the last mentioned velocity for
only single second
In another case the velocity
OF the wind rose in three-quar-
tiers of second from 26A feet
, to 5715 feet per second.
Considering these facts, it is no
wonder that aviators meet with
strange accidents by running
into what they call "holes in the
air" for the sustaining force of
the air, on account of the sud-
den variations Of the wind, may
almost instantaneously lose half
its value, and then, with equal
suddenness, recover, or more
than recover, its former power.
Such things enable any one to
understand the peculiar perils
that the aviator has to face.
Even ordinary mortals know
that the wind is capricious, but
to the navigator of the air it be-
comes sometimes very demon,
or a legion of demons, whose
eccentric gambolings are as un-
controllable as they are unex-
pected.
1t took thousands of years for
seamen to learn how to face
with unfinching hearts the va
garies of the ocean waves and
currents, and for shipbuilders TO
devise vessels that could defy
them, but it seems likely that
we in a few decades shall have
mastered the caprices of the at
mosphere and have produced
airships that will safely ride the
widest wind.

Hon. R. F. Duckworth of Georgia,

elected President of the local union.
He was present at the organization
of the Hopkins County Union in 1908,
the first to be organized. In February
of that year he began work as an or
ganizer, and since then all his splendid
energies and ability have been devot-

MOTION PICTURE FILMS
IN u. S. FOREIGN TRADE

Washington. ID. C. Nov. 25.--Twenty-
five thousand miles of motion picture
films, enough to stretch around the
globe at the Equator, will be the ex-
port record of the United States In
the calendar year 1913. The United
States is the worlds greatest manu-
facturer of motion picture films, prob
ably three-fourths of the entire films
of the world being manufactured In
this country. Large quantities OF
films are sent out OF the country, both
as blank or unexposed films, and as
finished films ready for use in the
stereopticon.
The rapid increase in this branch
of the export trade of the United
States resulted in the establishment
by the Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce, Department of Com
merce, of a detailed record which
shows the quantity. measured by feet,
and the value of films exported from
the country; the plain films and those
ready for use, separately stated; the
countries of destination; and the
ports through which this distribution
is made. This record shows a total
expectation in the nine months ended
with September of 65 IL million feet
Of unexposed or plain films to be used
in other parts of the world in taking
motion pictures. and % IL million
feet of exposed or finished films ready
for use in the stereopticOn, making a
total of 80 million feet during the
period. For the single month of Sep
