The usually acceptable theory of the
dew fall'' has been that dew WAS water
condensed from the air coming in contact
with the colder surface of the plants or
soil, and the ice. pitcher has been the IA
vorite Illustration. But recent observations
and experiments prove that the dew is
water evaporated from the soil and con-
densed by coming in contact with the
colder air. Hence the dew rises instead
of falls. a familiar proof of this theory
will be found in the moisture which col
lects so profusely on the inside of hot,bed
windows at night.
