in the leading organs of public

When therefore, Mr.. Hoover advo-

Nevertheless, there is much in Mr..

for years, but he finds difficulty in

THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE AIR.

There are no clouds above THIS level.
The greatest discovery yet made In
exploring the air Is that the atmos-
phere consists of two great layers the
lower extending from sea level up 10
5000 meters, In which there Is .
steady fall of temperature with eieva-
ton. This Is called the troposphere.
Above this there is no fall. and up to
10000 meters slight rise. The upper
layer is known as the stratosphere.

airplsne to rise from the ground TO
