INVENTOR OF VANE UNKNOWN
But Devices for Showing the Direction
Of the Wind Have Been in
Use for Centuries

The origin Of the weather vane IS
unknown. One Of the most ancient of
which there is any record is that
mentioned by Vitruvius, and the ruins
OF the Tower of the Winds. Of which
he speaks, still stands in Athens. This
building was erected about a century
before the Christian era. He writes !:
Those who have paid most atten-
ton 10 the winds make them eight IN
number, and particularly Andronicus
Cyrrhestes, who built at Athens an
Octagonal tower Of marble and cut on
each face the figure OF the several
winds. each looking to the quarter
from which that wind blows.
ION the tower he placed a marble
column, on which was a Triton Of
bronze holding a rod IN his right hand
And he cOntrived 1t that the figure
moved round with the wind so that
1t constantly stood opposite II. and the
rod, which was above the figure.
showed in what direction the wind
blew"
Eftigies Of many creatures have done
duty as vanes. Man himself has not
escaped. The female form divine even
has not been spared this indignity
Such a sentiment as is expressed in
the sentence. woman tickle as the
wind" may have been In the mind
OF TheodOSius the Great when he
erected at ConStantinople, in the
Fourth century. the vane called the
Lady Of the Winds"
