the dreadful discovery was made. Lcona

Those which play upon the British
Isles from across the Atlantic are pre-
vailing southwesterly winds. Farther
north. and duplicated in the southern
hemisphere, are polar winds, desig-
| mated In the northern hemisphere,
where. owing to the vast land areas.
they are of greater Importance, the
prevailing northeasterly winds. Their
raison d'etre is similar to that of
the trades. The presence of land, ow-
Ing to its greater heating power, inter.
feres with the formation and direc-
tlon Of the winds. notably in the case
OF the monsoons Of South Asia, where
seasonal variations follow the appar-
ent path Of the sun, alternately over
land and over water. Land and sea
breezes alternate by day and night
along a coast because of the unequal
heat acquired by the air over water
and over sea. The direction of local
winds is much affected by the dispo-
sition and height of the land though
over huge expanses Of water they
have a clear path.
It would take too long to consider
here the operation and locale Of par
ticular winds; but something should
be said of the wonderful system Of
their working. Here is a beneficent
transference of warm air from the
heated tropical regions, where its con-
tinued presence would make life un-
endurable, to the temperate regions,
where its mildness is wanted to "tem-
per- the cold. To the temperate re-
gions, where are the big habitable
areas. of land, come the winds most
suitable for mankind, enabling him to
work in comfort; while to the tropical
regions blow the cooling trade winds.
aiding navigation westward during
the ages before the advent of steam
and electric power.
The system of the winds is inter-
woven with the history of mankind
his migrations. his commerce. his in
dustries. his physical and mental ac-
tivities. Britons owe more of their
adaptability and endurance than they
imagine to the alienation, the clock
wise changes Of the wind, from the
soft southern breezes, the moisture
laden west winds. to the bracins north.
eastern and east winds which have
acquired icy coldness in passing over
the plains and steppes Of northeast
and east Europe.
A great service performed by wind
IL the evaporation Of moisture and
subsequent transference of 1t in tho
form Of rain clouds. The distribution
Of moisture is as important az the dis
tribution Of temperature already noted.
Yet 1t would be impossible, II wind
failed to perform its allotted once Of
carrying the clouds from over the
oceans to the continents.
In conclusion, reference must be
made to a most important ONCE full
filled by the winds-that of natures
scavenger.
It sweeps through the dirty streets
ana passageways of our cities and
carries away choking dust from the
roadways in summer, and decaying,

When you wake up with backache

clog you must relieve them like you
