HAIL AND ITS RATIONALE.

Moist air is vulgarly called heavy,
whereas its tendency is to ascend, except
when it ceases to exist as air and assumes |
the form of water or ice. In proportion |
as air is mingled with vapor of water it is
consequently disposed to ascend, but like
the fat surface of wide board at the bot
tom of an ocean of water, it ascends very
slowly, unless one end of the board is ele-
vated so that it may approach the surface
"end foremost" instead of its broadside.
In that case, as everybody has noticed, it
is projected much above the surface by the
accumulated momentum or motion and
relative weight.
Man lives at the bottom of an aerial
ocean, or ocean of air, As miles deep, and
q "aat board" or stratum of vapor of wa
ter constantly covers and spreads out in
his atmosphere, powerfully disposed to as
cend but held down to the surface of the
earth by weight Of air above equal to
about thirty-six tons on the roof of every
house that covers a lot twenty feet square.
Sometimes, in the providence of God, one
end of this board or stratum of vapor gets
tilted up and then the whole stratum rush
whole board follows the uppermost end to
the surface of a tub of water when filed
while confined by stone to the bottom
and suddenly liberated at one end. A
spoonful of air compressed or reduced in
bulk to the size of pea gives out heat
enough to ignite tinder or set on fire a
piece of punk at the end of piston, con-
sequently if doubled in bulk it absorbs
heat or produces cold enough to freeze
water, thus expanding as it ascends and
is relieved from the enormous weight of
our ocean of air. The stratum of vapor
expands and not only loses its own tempe
rature but enters the region of perpetual
cold in the upper air-the result is the
nucleus of hail stones, not only frozen,
but reduced perhaps seventy degrees below
zero, each capable of freezing tumbler
full of water. Just as a small snow ball,
rolled from the top Of hill increases as ii
descends, so our molecule of ice Cor rather
snow) increases in size as it falls toward
the earth, especially in warm weather
whom the lower stratum of air next the
earth will preserve seven-fold as much
water as inuisible vapor than during win.
ter; consequently the size of the hail stone
must depend on the heat of the air at the
surface of the earth, as the nucleus OF
original particle in the centre is colo
enough to freeze all it meets and cool tn,
air for many miles around. Upon break
ing hail stone this nucleus will be seel
as fbrous mass, and not gradually fro
sen as the surrounding clear ice.
While beneath the aerial ocean we ma,

hair, and invited by the policy of ou
Legislators who compel SO much swearing
and profanity which constantly ascend

The crimson wine was poor and cold
By her mouths richer red.

Her blush was rippling with smile,

The Invasion Of France.

Light begins TO dawn upon the position
of military affairs on the Moscllc. The
right wing of the Prussian army has been
pushed forward 10 Nancy, and that i'm
portant point has fallen into its hands.
This cuts railway communication between
Metz and Paris. AIcAIahon is still rctreAt-
ing westward. The French yet
occupy Metz but none Of their
troops are Gust Of the MosGlle. The
main army under Napoleon seems
to have rctrcated towards Chalons,
leaving only garrison at Metz; and it Is
considered certain the place will be
wholly evacuated. The Prussians must
continue to advance till tho French find q
line of defense where they are willing to
make stand. Where this will he docs
not clearly appear Tho new Minister
PALGKAo, in an address To the Fr9nch
soldiers, indicates several lines Of defense
between Metz and Paris. Whether any
of them cm check the advance !OfthC
victorious invaders remains TO be seen.

A special, dated Paris, August 19, says:
Tho Investment Of Strasburg was not
known in Paris until yesterday friday
A FrcnChman, an officer, who lett
London q few days ago, full Of patriotism
aud hopes for his country, writes:
~ have just met some persons from
Nancy, who rctrcated before the Prus-
Sims, who the day before yesterday were
at Vie, few miles from Nancy. They
will move thence by Tuol, and probably
ioiu the other army behind Chalons, or
perhaps at Paris. Why the French army
remains concentrated before Metz nobody
understands. It is believed that the Prus-
slams are already at Nancy. 1t appears
that the Empire Is rolled up like q scroll.
What Thoussay said this morning is true.
For twenty years nobody in France has
studied war seriously, but everything has
been done supcrflcially, and while the
Prussians ar0 first in science they have
now proved themselves TO bc the first IN
war. 1t is hard for mo TO admit this, but
is true, notwithstanding 0ll these great
