How RAIN Is FORMED. TO understand
the philosophy of this phenomenon, essen
tal to the very existence of plants and
ANIMALS, few facts, derived from obserya-
ton and long train of experiments, must
be remembered.
Were the atmosphere everywhere, at all
times, at uniform temperature, we should
, never have rain, hail, or snow. The water
absorbed by it in evaporation from the sea
and the earth's surface would decend in an
lmpcrceptible vapor or cease TO be absorbed
by the a'r when it was once fully saturated.
The absorbing power of thc atmosphere,
and consequently its capability to retain
humidity, is proportionably greater in cold
than warm air. The air near the surface
OF the earth is warmer than it is in the
region Of the clouds. The higher we as
cend from the earth, the colder the atmos-
phere. Hence the perpetual snow on very
high mountains in the hottest climates.
Now, when from evaporation the air is
highly saturated with vapor, r,-though it be
invisible,-if its temperature is suddenly
reduced by cold currents descending from
above, or rushing from higher to lower
latitude. its capacity to retain moisture is
diminished, clouds are formed and the re-
suit Is rain. Air condenses as it cools, and
like sponge filled with water and COM
pressed, pours out water which its dimin-
ished capacity cannot hold. How singular
yet how simple is such an Arrangement for
watering the earth.

How A CAMEL GOES THROUGH TIE
EYE OF A NEEDLE.--The passage from
the New Testament, ut is easier for
camel" etc, has perplezed many good
men, who have read literally. In oreutal
cities there are in the large gates small and
very low apertures, called metaphorical!y
needles eyes" just as we talk of win
dows on ship board as 'bulls' eyes.n These
entrances are too narrow for camel to
pass through in the ordinary manner even
if unloaded. When a loaded camel has TO
pass through one of these entrances il
kncels down, its load is removed, and then
it shutlies through on its knees. "Yester-
day." writes Lady Duff Gordon from Cairo,
81 saw q camel so through the eye of a
needle, that is, the low arched door of an
inclosure. lie must kneel, and bow his
head, to creep through and thus the rich
man must humble himself.n
