Rain.

Rain is the moisture of the atmos-
phere condensed into drops large enough
to fall with perceptible velocity to the
earth. The water thus prtcipitated is
quite pure, except in so far rs it absOrbs
a slight quantity of air, carbonic acid
and ammonia from the atmosphere
The formation of rain is in general a
continuation of the processes of the for
nation of clouds, dew and fog. The
deposition of moisture depends upon the
cooling OF the atmosphere, but concern
ing the precise process by which that
cooling is affected erroneous views have
been widely entertained. In general it
may be said that the temperature of a
given mass of warm moist air is low
cred in the ordinary course of atmOs-
pheric phenomena by one or other of
the following four processes: l. By
radiation to the cold sky. 2. BY radia-
tion to neighboring masses of cold air
or the cold ground. 3. BY mixture
with cooler air. A. By the absorption
of heat in the expansion Of ascending
air. The fourth of the above processes
is doubtless by far the most efficient OF
all in lowering the tempe Iature ano
producing rain.
