But a short , while later he received a letter I from Boston saying that the eclipse was easily observed, but shortly after the eclipse was over a ter rible storm arose, with the wind coming from the northeast. How. Dr. Franklin asked himself, could a storm coming from lhe northeast appear In Philadelphia, which lies souhtwest from Boston, before It reached Boston Itself? Franklin got out his pem-il and paper, and I after much mental effort he reached the conclusion that the storm was a Whirlprxd. spinning toward the left, and traveling bodily from the southwest to the northeast, and further, the center ot this storm was south of Philadelphia and south of Boston, so that both he and his friend were on the I I northern rim of the whirl. In that position both men would see wind coming from the northeast, from the diraction toward which th» storm was moving Fluids n motion, either air or watiV. split due *be w biri of the
