EFFECT OF WIND ON COMMON
OBJECTS INDEX TO VELOCITY.

How hard is the wind blowing? Ask
three people their opinions and you
are likely to get three different an
swers What seems moderate breeze
to one will be "gale" to another. The
Weather Bureau has worked out a
scale of wind velocities as measured by
scientific instruments and as correla-
ted with the effects observed on var
ious common objects in the outdoors.
The Forest Service of the United
States Department of Agriculture has
found need for a method of estimating
wind velocities. In the forest-fire sea-
son, strong winds often mean that lar
ger numbers of men should be called
to the fire line. The service has
therefore adopted a modification of
the scale used by the Weather Bureau
A light wind, according to this scale,
is one moving not more than z miles
an hour Direction of the wind is
shown by smoke drift; wind is felt
lightly on face; leaves rustic.
A gentle wind has a velocity OF
from to IL miles an hour and can be
identified by the fact that it keeps
leaves and small twigs in constant mo-
ton. Such a wind will extend light
flag
Moderate winds blow from Is to Ia
miles an hour and raise dust and lit
ter; small branches are moved and
Swayed.
Fresh winds have velocities of from
1e to "a miles an hour and cause small
trees in leaf (hardwoods) to begin to
sway. Crested wavelets begin to form

YOU CAN NOW SIT AT HOME
AND STILL GO TO THE MOVIES.

Going to the movies while sitting
al home" doesn't sound possible, does
it? But it's true, for one of the re-
cent triumphs of American engineer
ing genius has been to send moving
pictures over the radio and expert
ments which are now being made in
dictate that the radio transmission of
motion pictures will soon be one of the
commonplace things of our lives.
The process is not so complicated
but that it can be understood by the
layman and in this issue of The Miner
there is an illustrated feature article
by Elmo Scott Watson which tells
how it is done Look for the article

here (Basswooti river) is getting big

this trip and Mr.. Chase says it is the

Here two rivers meet and the re-
