Why Snow at Great Attitudes Does Not
 Melt,

MT. James Croll, the author of "Cli-- mate and Time," gives in Nature his views as to the influence of an aqueous vapor on the melting point of snow. He says: The reason why snow at great elevations does not melt but remains permanent, is owing to the fact that the heat received from the sun is thrown of into the stellar space so rapidly by radi- ation and reflection that the sun fails to raise the tempera ure of the snow to the melting point; the snow evsporates, but it does not melt. The summits of the Himalayas, for example, must receive more than ten times the amount of heat necessary to melt all the snow that falls on them, notwithstand- ing which the snow is not melted. And | in spite of the strength of the sun and the dIyness of the air at those attitudes, evaporation is sufficient 10 remove the snow. At low elevations, where the snowfall is probably greater and the | amount of heat even less than ar the summits, the snow melts and disap- pears. This, 1 believe, we must at tribute to the influence of aqueous vapor At high elevations the air is dry and allows the heat radiated from the snow | to pass into space: but at low elevations . very considerable portion of the heat radiated from the snow is absorbed in passing through the atmosphere. A considerable portion of the heat thus absorbed by the vapor is radiated back on the snow, but the heat thus radiated
 being of the same quality as that which the snow itself radiates, Is on this ac. count absorbed by the snow, Little ol none of it is reflected like that received from the sun. The consequence is that | the heat thus absorbed accumulates il the snow till melting takes place. Were the amount of aqueous yapor possessed by the atmosphere sufficiently dimin
 ished, perpetual snow would cover oul 1 globe down to the sea shore. It is true
 that the air is warmer at the lower leve
 than at the higher level, and by contact
 with the snow must lend to melt it nor.
 at the former than at the latter position
 But we must remember that the air i:
