Representation ofa change q Tei"d.-A
writer in late number of the Philosophical
Magazine says-"Having frequently anus
ed myself on fine evenings in summer, with
a very large kite, in order to watch the dli-
ferent currents of wind in the air, ha'i &C
casion to notice the following curious fact
that when,a kite on mounting very high ac-
ouirel different direction from getting lnta
a different current of air, the wind usually
blew from the same quarter on the earth''
surface before the expiration OF "a hours
Thus the changes of wind take place IN the
higher regions Of the air, and are proopagat-
ed downwart!s. have confirmed tins ex'
pertinent, and established the fact, by tho
use of small air balloons, but the Kite an
swcrs the purpose quite as well"
