An aeroplane entering one of these low density regions from the air of higher density around it, will suddenly fall without any warning, merely because the pressure has enormously decreased, and theaeroplane hasnot had time to attain the requisite velocity of support in this lighter medium. Enormous differences in pressure must cause enormous changes in the barometer, but such sudden changes are never found in the open, and, besides, it can be shown that the movement (whirl) of the atmosphere necessary to produce a change of pressure amount-ing to one tenth of the total would be of most destructive violence.But this is a small fault to find with a book so generally helpful. Elementary Aeronautics. By ALBERT P. THURSTON. Whittaker and Co., 126. This is a non-mathematical but clearly written account of the action of air upon moving surfaces, plane and curved, and the application of these principles in the design and operation of aeroplanes. While both elementary and brief, it seems to be free from errors, and can be recommended to those who wish some reliable infor-mation about the general action of aero-planes, but have not the time to make a real study of them.
