Whirlpools of the Sky.
The envelope of air surrounding the
earth, which we call the atmosphere,
is In many ways like the waters of the
seas. Its currents take the form of
winds; and Just as. Is the case with
sea and river current% they form
great Whirlpools every now and then.
It the huge eddy of wind currouta is

whirls In a clockwise direction..
There Is another difference between
the two, which Is of greatr Important.
The cyclone Is a whirlpool In which the

edge of the current and the lowest at
its centm. In an anticyclone, these
conditions are reversed. Pressure is
lowest at the fringes and highest In
the centre of the eddy.
Ijigh pressure means a, high bar-

Edwin E. $lesson, In his remarkable

that every year the blest furnaces of
the world release 72,000,000 tons of
iron from its oxtdes; and every year
one-fourth of that quantity reverts to

this direction for a generation, there
would be little left to show that he
