The PHILosoPHY OF RAIN.-There are
a few general principles In regard to the
rainfall OF the earth, that may be interest
ing to farmers, and may afford them
grain Of comfort. very liberal provi-
sion has been made that what we call the
TRY land should be well. watered. Three
fourihs the surface OF the earth is great
reservoir Of moisture. Evaporation Of
this surface is rapidly going on. The At
mosphere absorbs and the winds carry
this vas. accumulation OF moisture to the
dry land
The absorbing power Of the atmos.
pherc depends on its temperature. The
warmer it is the more moisture 1t will
hold, till it reaches the point OF satura.

air is cooled the surplus water resolves
itself into drops, and falls to the earth IN
the form Of dew. Now, as Mr.. Doug

principle, that We may wed bear IN mind"
High mountain ranges being usually COW
hercd with snow, ARE condensers OF rnOis-

may add that the annual fall OF rain
on the earth is very uniform. aud thatwc

ture as from an unequal distribution.
Evaporation is greatest within the trop
les. on account Of the greater heat; and
gre ter in the southern hemisphere than
in the northern, because Of the large fgo-
portions of water south OF the equator,
giving us the greater evaporation of the
southern hemisphere, consequently the
