CLOUD FORMATIONS.
What We Know About Them Seems to
Be Mainly Guesswork.
Many scientists have told us how
clouds are made. Most of the text
books on physical geography tell all
about them, but It Is all guesswork.
Clouds are a mystery. It is true they
are composed of moisture floating In
the air, but how did the moisture get
there?
It is held that particles of moisture
are evaporated from the earth's sur
face by the heat of the sun. This
moisture does not form into clouds im
mediately. Indeed, the passage of the
moisture from the earth to the upper
air Is quite invisible. It was formerly
supposed that this moisture was con
densed by the cold of the upper air
into rain droplets, which formed the
clouds.
But scientists hold that tho tiny par
ticles must have something to con
dense upon. They used to tell us that
the moisture collected upon dust par
ticles to form into rain drops. Now
they are practically agreed that it is
something else, but they don’t know
what
Anyway, when these drops get large
enough they accumulate into vapor,
forming clouds. When the droplets
get too large and heavy to qpnt in the
air they fall to the earth In the form
of rain, and this is about all we actu
ally know about clouds.—War Cry.
