HOW TO SEE THE WIND.
To try tills interesting experiment you require a polished, metal surface of not less than 2ft in length, such as a large saw. Choose a windy day, irrespective of whether it be hot or cold, clear or cloudy, but it must not be rainy or gloomy weather. ' Hold the saw at right angles to the direction of the wind, i.e., if the wind is north, hold the saw east and west, but do not hold it vertically. Incline it about 42 degrees towards the horizon, so that the wind, striking it, glances and flows over the edge. The end of the saw should be supported by something to keep it steady. Sight carefully along the edge of the saw for a minute or two at a sharply defined object, and you will see the wind pouring over the edge of the saw in graceful curves.
