Wind Pressure.

In meteorological terms strong wind
is anything from twenty-four to thirty.
seven miles an hour. gale from thirty.
eight to fifty-five miles and storm
from f1fty-six to seventy-fye miles. Be
yond that it may be described as q
hurricane. In the CONFUSION which
destroyed the Tay bridge In December
1879, the thermometer registered gusts
of wind which exceeded 100 miles an
hour. The connection between the We
locity and the pressure of the wind Is
not yet known with absolute certainty
but roughly speaking wind OF forty
miles an hour produces pressure OF
eight pounds to the square foot and
f1fty-one miles pressure of thirteen
pounds.-London Chronicle. ~

carpenter, who charged $24 more than
the mason, rendered bill three times
