The Philosophy of Rain.

TO understand the philosophy Of this beau
tiful and often sublime phenomenon, SO Of
ten witnessed since the creation of tho world,
and so essential to the very existence of
plants and animals, Il few facts derived from
observation and Il long train of experiments
must be remembered.
l. Were the atmosphere everywhere at
all times OF a uniform temperatures, We
Should never have rain, hail or snow.
Tie water absorbed by it in evaporation,
from the sea and ear'h's surface, would de-
scend in an imperceptble. .vapor, or cease to
be absorbed by the air when it was once
fully saturated.
=. The absorbing power of the amos-
phere, and consequently its capacity to re-
tain humidity, is proportionatt greater in
warm than in cold air.
The air ,iear the surface Of tho earth is.
warbler than it is i'll the regions OF the clouds
| The higher We ascend from the earth the
! colder DO We find tho atmosphere. Hence
the perpetua! SHOW on very high mountains
| in she hottest climate
Now, when from continued evaporation
the air is highly saturated with vapor
though j, be invisible aud the sky cloudIcss
If it's temperature is suddenly reduced, BY
cold currents descending from Il higher to 4
! lower latitude by the motion Of a saturated
air to a lower latitude, its capacity to Retain
moisture is diminished, clouds are formed
and the result is rain. 1t condenses, it cools
and like 4 sponge filed with water and com
pressed, pours out tie water its diminished
capacity can not hold. How singular
yet how simple the philosophy Of rain.
What but Omn:science could have de-
v'sed such an admirable arrangement fol
watering the earth?

MISCELLANY.
Interesting Facts.

Modern science has made many discov-
erlcs IN relation to the ocean, its depth,
and its beds cr basins. According to Mr.
Chas. X. Weld, who recently made tour
through the United States and Canada,
the vast sea-wecd meadows Of the Allan
tic, which cover a space seven times as
large as France, teen with life; deep sen
sounding which reveals the sea-lloor OF ,h,.
greatest depths, show that the bottom of
the ocean is frequently paved with calca-
reous and silicious shells. The Atlantic b,.
sin is a vast trough. bounded on one side hv
America, and on the other side bv Africa,
and rising out of this trough are mountains
higher than the loliiest Himaayahs from
peak to peak Of which huge whales hold
their course with tile same precision, with
which eagles pass from crac to crar and
valleys deeper than any trodden bv the foot
OF man, within whose oozy folds the great
waters lie in perpetual repose. Depths have
been sounded in the Atlantic greater than
the elevation Of any mountain above its
surface.
Another modern writer, speaking of this
great basin, says that could its waters be
drawn OH so as to expose to view this
great chasm, which separates continents and
extends from the Arctic to the Antarctic.
1t would present scene rugged and grand
beyond description. The very ribs Of the
solid earth would be brought TO light, and
we should behold at one view in the mighty
cradle OF the ocean, tho sad remains of
thousand fearful wrecks, with their countless
human skulls buried in heaps of pearl and
nestimable stones, which lie concealed up-
on the bottom of the deep. From the top
OF the Ch1mborazo to the bottom Of the
Atlantic, at the deepest place yet reached
by tile pummet in vertical line, is nine
miles. lhe deepest part Of the North At
Iantlc IL probably somewhere between the
bermudas and the Grand Banks. The
waters OF the Gulf of Mexico are held in n
oas'n whose greatest depth is about mile
