who knows more about the air
above us than most men know Of
the city streets they walk daily, Is

When Mr.. Robinson gets down to
brass tacks in his study he will use
the eye-piece shown in the illustra.
ton as an apt aid in his work. First
of all, however, he will release a
30-ipch hydrogen balloon. This he
will watch until it is swallowed up
in the cloud above. He will time
the balloon carefully, knowing that
1t ascends at an even rate Of about
200 meters a minute.
II the balloon is lost in two min
utes, the clouds will thus be found
to be 400 meters above the earth.
II five minutes time Is required for
the balloon to reach the clouds, their
height will be established at 1000
meters, or nearly two.thirds of a
mile.
Having found the height Of the
cloud shown on the black mirror,
Mr.. Robinson will follow it's prog

It as It speeds along. There Is a sim

he applies in making his tests so
