302 WINDS 



warmest months, when we approach 

 nearer to the heat of the torrid zone than 

 in any other two months ; therefore, the 

 air (to and from the equator) moves with 

 less velocity in our northern hemisphere. 



Q. Show the GOODNESS and WISDOM of GOD 

 in the constant tendency of air to equilibrium. 



A. If the cool air of the polar regions 

 did not rush into the torrid zone, it 

 would become so hot, that no human 

 being could endure it. If (on the other 

 hand) the hot air from the torrid zone 

 did not modify the polar regions, they 

 would soon become insufferably cold. 



Q. Why are EAST WINDS in England 

 generally DRY ? 



A. Because, as they come over the 

 vast continents of Asia and Europe, they 

 absorb very little water: 



Q. Why does their imbibing so little water 

 make them DRY winds ? 



A. Being thirsty when they reach our 

 island, they readily imbibe moisture from 

 the air and clouds ; and, therefore, bring 

 dry weather. 



Q. Why is the NOKTH WIND in England 

 COLD?
