EUROPE'S STORMSWEPT SEA-

BY Arthur Dew. Carpenter
The recent terrific storm off the

have been the first in 80 years, Is
OF great interest as an atmospher-

dropped to "a 1-2 inches. Normal
sea level barometer is 80 inches A
very low barometer means an area
of extremely light atmosphere. AT
such a time the heavy air ada

This violent thrush Of the heavy
air along the surface Of sea and
