Question Answered by National Geographic Bulletin To thfc layman, the world's rotation plays queer pranks with the atmosphere, says a bulletin issued from the Washington, D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic Society, but scientists find the various swirls following fairly definite laws. The world's winds and their complexity are dv.e in general to two forces; the rapid rotation of the earth which is imparted to the air surrounding it and modi- < fications of this motion due to differences in temperature on the 1 earth's surface. If the temperance differences did not play a part in the matter it | is probable that there would be ' only west winds in the temperate | and nol:n* 7.nnp? !??<) n? "'indu .? - all in tho tropics. The situation would ho somewhat like that < brought about in a glass of liquid < at a soda fountain into which a | rotary stirrer is introduced.

So, hut ] for temperature differences tho ; earth would have tho great sea of ( air which surrounds it swirling ( with il practically at the speed . with which the earth moves at tho , equator?approximately a thousand < miles an hour. Hut since both the i earth and the air at the equator f would he moving at the same speed . there would be no wind there. < Would Outrun the Karth 1 As one went from the equator he ] would find a wind blowing harder , as he approached the poles. This wind wov * \ ho from west to east the direction in which tho earth _ A i ?i u ** is turning, ann wouia result Trom the fact that the air was turning' i through space- actually faster than the earth. For while the surface of the earth at the equator is moving at about a thousand milevS an hour, being on the "rim of the wheel," so to speak, the surface in the temperate zones, being nearer to the "hub" is moving at a slow speed. Rut the air above the equator, swirling a* a thousand miles an hour would communicate its speed to the air on each side of it and would tend to throw the entire atmosphere to spinning at the rapid equatorial rite. As a result it would outrun the earth between the equator and the poles and create a mighty west wind. As a matter of fact nuH> of this assumption is true. The earth does impart its rotary motion to tvhe atmosphere in general, but because of counter influences a?\d side currents due ?to temperature differences, the assumed calm is not WEAK, NERVOUS, ALL RUK-OOWH I Missouri Lady Suffered Until S!.

Instead the earth outruns the air somewhat there, and the air "drafting" as the | earth spins under it, makes winds blowing from the east?the famous trade winds. But even though the atmosphere is moving eastward more slowly than the, earth at the equator, it is moving faster than the earth in the temper; to zones, and there the prevailing winds arc from the west.

There seems to have been much over-optimism in regard to speeds tlv>t rp.n he obtained by aircraft with the help of these planetary winds. It has been stated in some instances that in upper currents moving at three hundred miles an hour, airplanes with powerful motors could reach speeds of four or five hundred miles an hour. The difficulty is that no winds have been found in tho upper air by the United States weather bureau in many years of observation that much exceed 100 miles an hour; and the normal speed of tho west winds at high altitudes over the United States is between GO and 7.r> miles an hour. If such tremendous speed as that suggested is to ho attained by airplanes, therefore, tho motors will have to be re- j sponsible for the greater part of it. i The winds of highest velocitv I ~ I / 1 ..I i % , iiiivts ueun louiKi annul six or seven I miles above the sea at the level of the highest clouds.

The rates of motion have been checked very carefully by observing the drift of special rubber balloons The observations are made through telescopic instruments from the ground. Similarly the drift of clouds has been observed and measured. Thousands of such observations have been made ranging from slight distances above sea level, to the upper reaches of the clouds, and in the case of balloons, far beyond the 'loud zone. One balloon sent up by !he weather bureau reached a height :>f nearly twenty miles.

HELENA ISLAND LIFE i Description of Negro Community on Coast of South Carolina There is a place in the United , States, though rather more in the At antic, where nobody locks his doors, day or night, even now. II | you are driving along one of the roa ls there behind your pair o. "sandhill tackles" and some one approaches with his ox-cart and there lis not room to pass, he will force his horned steeds to shinny up a bank rather than inconvenience you, says a writer in the New York Evening Post. On this enchanted isle old women, when they meet to sew. sing part songs. Children go to school all the year round and prefer it. In fact, a few of them walk eighteen miles over the sandhills to got there. And some of the <^d"> t land-owners in the country cultivate their own acres and beat the mainland record with a primitive equipment. These wonders sound Marquesas, but St. Helena Island is no distant paradise. It lies off the Carolina-, not far from Savannah, and is on of those sea islands which, until the boll weevil arrived a few years ago, grew the most famous cotton in the world. It was good that the creature |came in many ways, since other crops are grown there now, but a< one of those whom he robbed said dolefully: "We sure has our satisfyin' afflicition." St. Helena sur vived it because it possesses a unique school. Result of Freeing Slaves. When the Union troops took over St. Helena, along with the other Carolina Islands at the beginning of the civil war, setting free the! large slave population, they found themselves at a loss in atenipting to handle this new tvpe of negro, which, grown up in isolation, had kept the, native courtesy of the race and many ' of its ancient customs. They asked i for aid, and two women, travelling southward on army transports, campthere and founded a school. Although the Penn Normal Industrial and Agricultural school has grown beyond their hopes in the fifty-nine years which have passed since its found in c-, there are now, as then, only two white teachers. The faculty number* about 25. but all the others are colored, and indeed on the whoie island, with its f>,000 negroes, there are no more than fifty white inhabitants. At the Penn School the American negro can be seen at his best, selfrespecting and unspoiled. | The two plucky women brought itheir school house with them, in '62. and it stood indomitable?a great ad for portable houses?until 1904. The one-time slaves with wages earned in the cottpn fickle bought the land they had cultivated, just a^ their heirs now are gradually buying fanning implements. The funny 1 i111 o Worses of the islnnds are a distinguished race, for their ancestors j wore nrobably brought there bv French explorers. Oxen are a standby, too.
