Whin Airmen Fly High.
Aviators have a cold time of It when
Bhey mount high Into the air. On the
hottest day iu summer a flying man
may he in the arctic regions in ten min
utes by mounting to a height of 10,000
I feet, Just as the climber may pass
I througli all the zones of climate by
climbing Kilimanjaro, that giant peak
! which rises above the snow lin£ from
the equator. He commences with the
i tropical jungle and ends amid eternal
: snow. The temperature is invariably
low’ at 10,000 feet and over, whether at
I the tropics or the poles, and It is quite
, likely to he lowest at the equator. In
fact, there is little variation of temper
j ature in these upper reaches of the at
; mosphere. It is much the same in sum*
| nier as winter, except for the difference
which n high wind makes. Even in
the depth of a hot summer the airman
i will encounter 40 degrees of frost at
10,000 feet. and at twice that altitude
; 100 degrees of frost—the temperature
I of the south pole is usual enough.
