HOW RAIN IS FORMED.

To understand the philosophy of this
phenomenon, essential TO the very exis
tence Of plants and animals, a few
facts derived from observation and long
train of experiments must be remem
bered. Were the atmosphere every where
at all times, at uniform temperature, we
we should never have rain hail or snow.
The water absorbed by it in evaporation
from the sea and the earth's surface would
descend in an impercep.ible vapor, or
cease 10 be absorbed by the air when it
was once fully saturated The absorbing
power Of the atmosphere, aud consequent
~ its capability TO retain humidity, is
proportionably greater in warm than in
cold ali, rhe air near the surface Of the
earth is warmer than it is in the region
OF clouds. The higher we descend from
the earth the colder we find the atmos.
Phcre. Hence the perpetual snow on
very hi gh mountains in the hottest eli.
mates. Now, when from continued evap
Grafton the air is highly saturated with
vapor-though it be invisible--if its tenn
p"rature is suddenly reduced by cold cur
rents descending from above, or rushing
from higher to n lower latitude, it's ca
pacity to retain moisture is diminished,
clouds are formed. and the result is rain.
Air coudcnscs as it coCls, and, like n
sponge filed with water and compressed,
pours ont the water which its diminished
capacity cannot hold. How singular, yet
how simple, is such an admirable arrange
ment for watering the earth

MALPRACrIcE.-An action for NAL

an error in Judgment is not malpractice" ;"
The court held this point to be good law
when applied to a man skilled in anato.
my, surgery or physics, but not in the
case in action-the defendant knowing
nothing of those departments, and there
fore having no judgment in the matter.
The court ruled that an error in Judgment
OF man skilled in particular calling is
not malpractice, unless it is gross error /;
but error in judgment Of man urskiIied
in that science Gf such thing can be) is
malpractice. In other words, person
attempting to practice, in phyoic or sur
gerry, without first having obtained II
knowledge of such science, is liable for all
the damage that is the result Of his prac-
