THE SUMS RAYS By Garrett P.Seryiss

81 have yet 70 see q sensible,
clear-cut explanation Of why il
Is that the nearer one gets to
the sun the colder II gets-for
instance, airplanes Or mountain
tops. IT Is the same way
when It's cloudy. even two or
three DAYS at q time. Surely
Il can't be the reflection OF the
sun, or rebound Of the rays
when the sun has not been
seen for several days.-C. H..
Brooklyn"
NU7E suns rays make II warm
! and comfortable on the earth
because their heating effect .
retained ana distributed by the
blanket Of air. which il itself
warmed by absorbing the energy
OF the rays. But the higher you
20 In the atmosphere the thinner
or less dense the air becomes.
And. in proportion as the air be-
comes less dense its ability to
absorb and retain the energy Of
the solar rays diminishes.
The consequence IL that when
you 60 up to q height Of two or
three miles. where you are SUR
rounded by much thinner air, the
effect Is as IL on q cold night
you should throw off half your
blankets. Where the suns rays
directly strike you. their effect
is slightly more intense than near
the ground, so that the surface Of
your skin il burned. but your
whole body shivers on account Of
the GOODNESS OF the thin air
around you.
Not only is the direct effect
of the solar rays quickly dis.
sipated by the rapid escape Of
the heat through the thin air
blanket, but the internal heat OF
your body likewise escapes more
rapidly than when you are inn
mersed in the relatively heavy air
at the earth's surface.
Counts Little
Then, you neglect to consider
the fact that in going upward,
from the earth's surface a few
miles your approach toward the
sun is almost infinitesimal in
comparison with the distance sep
arating the earth and the sun.
That distance Is. N round num-
bers, 100000 miles.
In rising four miles, then, you
decrease your distance from the
sun by the insignificant fraction
of about one twenty-three-mtl'
ilonth!
No Thermometer would give
the slightest indication Of so
minute q change Of temperature
as that alteration of distance
would cause. On the other hand.
however, the intensity of the rays
would be strikingly increased be.
cause of the large decrease OF
absorption by the greatly thinned
atmosphere
II the air were as dense at a
height of three miles as 1t IL at
sea level, Mount Blanc. and other
lofty mountains, would not be
buried perpetually under vast
burdens Of snow and ice hum
dreds OF feet thick. while the
valleys at their feet smile amidst
an almost tropical wealth of vege-
tation. begemmed with brilliant
flowers.
AS to the effects Of clouds in
the atmosphere. we have again to
deal with the same principle.
Should you have an opportunity
to get above the clouds. go II

Course for Farmers

The University Extension Service
is conducting correspondence course
in Farm Accounting for farmers.
This course is free of charge and
should be of interest to many farm
ers in this county. There were four
enrolled in Redwood County this
year. Two hundred of the 1854 enroll
ed in the state finished their work.
If as many as eight enroll for this
course for 1927 arrangements are
made for Mr.. w. L. Cavert, Farm
Management Demonstration will make
"a special visit to the county to help
each of those enrolled to finish up
their years work.
Ambitious and forward looking
men in every line of business are CIV
ing more attention than ever before
to learning all that they can from
the experience of others. They read
trade newspapers, attend conventions,
read books, and take correspondence
courses when available" Why should
the farmer not avail himself of every
opportunity there comes before him
to increase his knowledge about his
business, which is constantly becom-
ing more complex? Enroll with your
County Agent now. Send for parti-
culars.
