The Dayton (0.) test pilot merely reported one of the new phenomena - resulting from a study of the geography of the afr, stimulated by aerial travel, according to a bulletin of the National Geo- graphic soclety. “While the chemistry and physics of the atmosphere are understood, the geography of the air is still practical- 1y unknown,” says Alexander McAdp in a communication to.the society. Great Rivers of Alr. “We are aware that there are well marked areas, zones and levels in this inverted bowl; and, though we may not see them, there are mighty rivers, far exceeding any of the ‘rivers of earth in volume and speed, rushing on for miles and miles, flow- ing vertically as well as horisontally. There are vast calm areas and stag- nant pools; also choppy seas and regions of great turbulence. “We are learning ‘today that there. are various layers in the air, which must be explored and studied before ps can travel in safety. In fly- ing, men will use only the lower strata, the cloud levels. Above all clouds are far-stretching heights, which, too, must be explored, not by plane and dirigible, but by the sounding balloon of the . aerographer. “One might say offhand that there could be no geography. of the air; for - there are no continents, oceans or . visible geographical features in this ‘Inverted bowl’ which we will call.the " aky. Do we mot look clean through the atmosphere up into the heavens and, except for passing clouds, do.we not know that there is nothing to be seen? . { “If the density of the atmosphere remained constant it could all be com- pressed into a ‘layer about five miles thick. In that case:the highest moun- tain peaky ' would “stand in space, plercing the 86 called homogeneous wtmosphere. But the density decreases with elevation, and when the. aviator moaches an elevation of 10,000 meters. ke is in 3 medium which is only about one-third as dense as at the ground. There are no clouds above this level. ¢ . “The greatest discovery yet made - i exploring the air is that the at- .;mosphere consists’of two great layers —the lower extending from sea level .up to 10,000 meters, in which there 1s ‘a ‘steady fall of temperature with eleviition. This is called the tropo- ;cwt. New market: ’| oats, bushel ... _ Chicago, May 7.—Potato receipts today, 36 ca firm. Northern and Canadian [arket Round Whites, sacked.,and in bulk, $7.25 to $7.50.

But when the wind favors, then the winged airman spurns the slow fellow creeping on wheels belotv. With accelerated speed he passes over moor, mountain or sea; and, if need be, vaults over the clouds. “If the captain of the winged ship is not content with his speed he has only to climb to upper levels, where the flow of the air increases to thirty and even forty meters per second, and 10 this stream he would move along with a speed relative to the earth of 200 miles an hour. “These are not extreme values.
