RAIN FROM a CLEAR SKY.
4 Lucid Explanation Of a Recent
pheuomenon.

Ed. CITIZEN Your valued Lynn
vile correspondent mentions, in
last CITIZEN, the following occur
renee: '-On the evening of 9th OF
January, a very bright, fair day,
without cloud in sight, q shower
Of rain fell about 8 P. N. It con
timed TO fall some ten minutes
was witnessed by Messrs Wilsford,
Barrow aud others. Can you ex
plan? We never heard Of the like"
1t Is familiar to all that the At
mosphere surrounding the earth is
always more or less loaded with
moisture in the form of Invisible
vapor. This vapor fills the spaces
between the atoms Of oxygen and
nitrogen in the air. In the event OF
a mingIing of cold and a warm.
moist current OF air, this invisible
vapor is condensed into visible
cloud, and upon further condeusa-
ton is precipitated in the form OF
rain. But your correspondent re
ports r&in scithout cloud. We are
told that this phenomenon has fre
quently occur ed. Humboldt wits
messed it several times. Kaemtz
says it happens in Germany twice
or thrice in q year. Ga the 9th of
August, 1887, a shower tell st &c
neva, when the sky was clOudless,
that lasted several minutes. Ours
ing the month of February, 1852,
copious rain fell ut Washington, D.
c., for the space Of several minutes,
from perfectly cIoudless and star
lit sky.
The explanation given by scien~
lists OF these cloudless showers is
that the invisible vapOr descends at
once as rain without passing thro'
the intermediate state of cloud.
