ALL ABOUT THE CLOUDS When
ever on account of some topographic
circumstance, the sun heats any local
ity on the surface of the earth more
than the surrounding region, a gentle
current or column of heated air rises,
and its invisible moisture is condensed
iuto small masses of clouds called Gu
null, which spread and produce the
mottled appearance commonly known
rs ''macllerel sky" But when, as is
frequently the case in summer. a val
ley, or plain, or island, or any other
place, is much more highly heated by
the sun than the surrounding region.
the heated air over such locality rises,
more rapidly and with more ascension
nj momentum, and as it reaches the
higher and cooler regions of the at
mOsphere its moisture is condensed
into large, rounded volumes of noun
tain-like masses of cumulus clouds.
Such cumulus clouds always precede
and characterize q local summer storm
or shower.
When the warm horizontal current
from the south. as in winter, meets
with the cold current from the north,
1t slopes upward over the cooler cur
rent, and forms stripes or bands of
stratus clouds along the horizon.
These stratus clouds Indicate to the
observer the fact that n warm current
Is coming northward When in sum
mer a cool current is moving south
ward it encounters the warm equato-
rial or tropical current, Which again
gliCes upward and over it, and forms
horizontal bands of stratus clouds
along the upper line Of contact, as in
winter storms but IN addition, the
denser cold air isom the north. moving
with more momentum, will lift ND the
warm and saturated air from the trop-
les, and its moisture will he condensed
into masses Of cumulus clouds banked
mp against the top of tie cold current.
and arranged over the horizontal stra-
tus Of clouds Thus is produced the
combination Of cumulo stratus cloud.
which is Characteristic of progressive
su miner storms
To the tornado cloud produced bv
whirl Of air, and resembling an in.
verted cone, Professor Blasius gives
the name of the conus, which is both
distinctive aui appropriate These
four typical classes Of clouds-viz
cumulus, stratus, cumulo-stratus and
cOnus-indicate and characterize the
four different classes of storm.-POp-

LIMBERT7.S LE1P.

Near y Newcastle, is SandyfOrd Bridge,
thirty-six feet above the river, which,
like many Northern streams, is seldom
quite full, but flows in cl annel, with
the rocky bed bare on each side; an
ugly bridge to look up to; or to look
over, driving by.
In Scotland and the North of Eng
lind. when our wise ancestors got hold
of 50 dizzy and dangerous place,
they made the mOstof it with incI cd
IDLE perversity they led the approach
to such a bridge either down Il steep,
or nearly vt right angles. They car
ried Sandyford lane up to the bridge
on the rectangular plan, aud thereby
cured two events, which were but
the result Of their skill in road-mall~
ing. vet, taken in conjunction, have
other claims to notice.
At date hope some day to ascer-
tain precisely. bIt at present can on
" say that it was very early in the
present century, u young gentleman
called Lamb"rt, was run away with by
his horse: the animal came tearing
down Sandvford lane, and, thanks to
ancestral wisdom aforesaid, charged
the bridge with such momentum and
impetus that lie knocked slice off
the battlement, and half ton of una
sOnrv, into the air, and went down
after it into the river, with his rider.
The horse was killed; Mr. Lambert,
though shaken, was not seriously in
jured by this awful leap. The mason
~ was repaired and, to mark the
event, these words, Lam bert's Leap, )"
were engraved on the new coping
stone The road was allowed to re-
tain its happy angle.
December ,. 1872. about eleven.
forenoon. Mr.. John Nicholson, Of New
castle q student in surgery, was rid
ing in Saudyfyrd lane. His horse ran
away with him, and being unable to
take the sharp turn for such cases
made and provided, ran against thc
hattlemeut Of the bridge. 1t resisted
this time, and brought the horse to its
knees but the animal being now
thoroughly terrified, rose and actually
lc1ped. or scrambled. over the battle
ment. and fell into the rock bed below,
carrying away n single coping-stone,
viz, the stone engraved "Lambcrt's
Leap" That stone was broken to
pieces by the fall the poor young
man VAS 50 cruelty injured that he
never spoke again; he died AZ seven
o'clock that eyening-but the horse
was so little the worse, anl so tanned
bv the tall, that he was at once ridden
into Newcastle for assistance.
The reversed fatcs Of the two ami.
mails. and the two incidents happening
within an iLch of each ether, have
earned them a place in this collection
Richardson's Local HistoTian's
Table Book" relates the second leap
and refers to the first, which is also
authenticated Charles Rcade.
