The rrerailing South-uest Winds of the Nortli Tem-perate Zone, passing over the warm waters of the GuliStream, contribute largely to the advantages of Western andSouthern Europe in climate, productions, and general develop-ment. 28. If the Earth revolved on its Axis in the Opposite Di-rection—fi-om east to west—in what direction would the TradeWinds and the Equatorial Current move ? If the earth didnot revolve on its axis, what would become of the ocean cur-rents and the ?ninds ? 29. The Plan of the Winds, like that of the ocean currents,is such that a constant circulation of air is maintained betweenthe Eastern and Western Hemispheres, round and roimd theglobe, and between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres,from the burning zone of the Ti-opics to the fi-ozen regions ofthe Poles. The wind goeth toward the south, and turnethabout imto the north ; it whirleth about continually. MOISTUMJE AND EVAPORATION. HS. *3ree2e. A View on the Sea Coast. From Morning until Evening the Air which is overhe Sea is Heavier than that over the Land j consequently, the Wind blows all Day frome Sea. The Plan of Di/ferenres in Nature, producing contact,sition, and variety, is beneficial to It is recognized in the Ught of day and the darkness of^ht, in land and water, sunshine and rain, in the variety ofoductions, and in the diverse pursuits of people. 32. The Wisdom of this Plan appears not only in the ex-^tence of such differences, biit in their cooperation and unity. 33. Sea Coasts and Islands enjoy a more even temperaturethroughout the year than inland districts, because the oceanloes not change its temperature, either in summer or winter,m readily as the land. 31. Winds which blow over the sea are generally not so coldn -winter, nor so warm in summer, as those b
