How Rain and Hail are Formed.

When the particles of water or ice
which constituted cloud or fog arc all
of the same size, and the air i'm which
they are sustained is at rest or is NOV
ing In one direction, then these parti-
cles can have no motion relative to
each other. The weight of the parti.
cles will cause them to descend
through the air with velocities which
depend on their diameters, and, since
they are all of the same size, they will
move with the same velocity. Under
these circumstances, therefore, the par
ticles will not traverse the spaces
which separate them, and there can
be no aggregation so as to form rain
drops or hailstones. If, however.
some of the particles of the cloud or
fog attain larger size than others,
those will descend faster than the other
and will consequently overtake those
Immediately beneath them; with these
they may combine so as to form still
larger particles which will move with
greater velocity, and more quickly
overtake the particles in front of them.
and will increase in rate as they add
to their size. Under such circumstan-
ces, therefore, the cloud will he con-
verted into rain or hail, according as
the particles were ice or water. The
size of the drops from such a cloud
would derend simply Oh the quantity
or water suspended in the space swept
through by the drop in it's descent,
that is to say, on the density and
thickness of the cloud below the point
from which the drop started. This is
the actual way in which raindrops and
haildrops are formed.

DAY AND NIGHT IN SwEDEN.-The
peculiarities of day aud night in Swe.
den strike the traveller very forcibly ,af-
ter being accustomed to the TEMPERATE
zones. La juno the sun goes down in
Stockholm little before ten o'clock.
There is a great illumination all night,
as the sun passes round the earth to
ward the north pole; and the refraction
OF its rays is such that you can see 10
real at midnight without an artificial
light. There Is mountain at the head
OF Bothnia, where, on the 21st OF June,
the sun does not appear to 60 down al
all. The steamboat goes up from Stock
holm for the purpose OF conveying those
who are curious TO witness the phenom-
enon. IL occurs only one night. The
sun reaches the horizon, you cen see
tue whole face Of it, and in five minutes
more 1T begins to rise. At the North
Cape, latitude seventy two degrees, the
sun does not go down for several weeks.
In June IL would be about twenty FIVE
degrees above the horizon at midnight.
In the winter the sun disappears and is
not seen for weeks, then it comes and
remains FOR ten or fifteen minutes. after
which descends, and finally is not seen
at all, but makes circle round The
heavens. The Swedes are very indus
trious, and labor is reckoned by the
hour. twelve hours being recltoned p
days work. Birds and animals take
their accustomed rest az the usual hour.
