What are Clouds!

C. Morfit, in Popular Science Monthly.
Though the clouds are such fl.
miliar objects, very little ia known
about them, aud The processes by
which they are formed aud give
back their moisture TO the earth are
unsolved mysteries.
They cannot be classified AZ be.
longing to the solid, fluid, or g,lse-
Gus form OF matter. Yet they are
defined as being "a collection OF
watrry particles in the state OF Va.
por, suspended in the air. II they
are ordinary vapor, they must ba
governed by the laws which effect
vapors. Braude defines vap0r thus:
"When liquids and certain solids
are heated, they become converted
into elastic fui,ls or vapors, which
differ from gases in the respect thst
they are not under common clrcum-
stances permanently elastic, bn5
resume theliquid or solid torn whsn
cooled to ordinary temperature"
According to this definition, clouds
cannot be composed OF ordinary va
por, for under all conditions their
temperature mus, be below the con.
deusing point of water vapor.
At tue elevation ut which clouds
are often seen, they are in the re.
gions of perpetual congelation; and
as they float above the highest
m ,untains they must be exposed,
even in the sunshine, and certainly
in the night, when the solar heat Is
not poured upon them, to tempera-
lures colder than those Of the trigid
zones,

THE EUROPEAN CANAL.
Union of the North Sea With the
Mediterranean.

The object of the European canal is
to unite the North Sea with the Medit-
erraneaD by navigable and maritime
canal, accessible to the largest trading
vessels, and which will unite the seas
of China and Australia with the Allan
tic and the Gulf Uf Finland The pro-
ject is not modern one, for the Rom
ans, and before them them the Celts,
had foreseen the great advantages to be
derived from the junction of the seas
of Gaul by means of its rivers. The
scheme was grand, but it was necessary
to study and furnish the means of put
ting it into execution. In 1873 Prince
G.. de Bearn, published the project of a
canal between Marseilles and Dun
kerque, passing by Paris, Lyons, and
others of the richest towns in France.
This project, largely planned as much
from an agricultural as an industrial
point of view. had the advantage of
opening direct and sure road to the
vessels proceeding from England and
the commercial ports of the north,
which could thus cross the continent
and avoid the dangerous passage around
Spain by the Straits of Gibraltar in Or
der to reach the east. AS the canal
would realize between the North Sea
and the Mediterranean saving of dis
lance of 1000 kilometers, it would be
found that the maritime commerce of
Europe would benefit by about 49,
100000 francs. Best of all, Paris would
thus become seaport.

THE NATIONAL CROP REPORT
Michigan One OF the First Potato
States This Year.

The Department of Agriculture re.
ports that the average yield of oats
will be somewhat higher than last year
or In 1879, and the product nearly as
large as that of wheat. probably about
480,000000 bushels. Illinois, Iowa,
New York, Wisconsin, Missouri, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Kansas
are the states highest in rank in pro-
ductiOn.
The average yield of rye, averaging
from state returns, is fourteen and
seven-tenths bushels, making the crop
100000 bushels. or nearly the same
as reported by the census.
The indicated average yield Of bar
ley is about twenty.three bushels per
acre, aggregating 45,000,0 900 bushels.
California, New York and Wisconsin
together produce more than half, or
100000 bushels. The product In
1879 was 44,000,000 bushels.
The prospect for buckwheat is good
for nearly an average product-11,O JO,-
600 to 100000 bushels. Pennsylya-
MIA produces nearly half the crop End
reports 95 as the average of condition,
100 representing the full normal yield.
New York makes an average OF 20.
No other states produces 100000 BUSH
els.
The general average condition of po-
tatoes is 81. In the South, in the Ohio
Valley and in Michigan, Missouri and
Nebraska the average is 100 to LOG. In
the Northwest and in the Eastern and
Middle States the condition is lower. 1t
is 20 in New York. 50 in Maine and "a
in Vermont. The returns indicate a
yield of 80 bushels per acre on an area
of nearly 100000 acres.
The yield per acre OF corn will be re-
ported in November. The condition
averages 81, being very high in the
South and comparatively low in the
States of the largest production. In
Illinois with eight per cent. decrease
of area) the condition is only ~; in
Iowa, 70, and. in Ohio, 81. These three
States produced forty per cent. Of the
crop of 1879. A careful comparison of
changes in area and condition indicates
an average yield of seventy-eight BUSH
els per acre. against fifty.eight in 1870
and eighteen last year. The average
of the series of years is between TWEEN
ty-six and twenty-seven bushels. New
England will produce, according to the
October returns, seven to eight millions,
the Middle States eighty-two millions,
the Southern 340,000,000, those north
of Tennessee and west of Virginia and
Pennsylvania 250,000,000, an aggre-
gate of 1,680,000,000. Later returns
may slightly reduce. but cannot ma.
terially increase this estimate.

ever on the lakes, as their winter quar-
tiers. Mr.. Craig has still faith in the
future of lake navigation, for he is con-
structing a saw-mill 40 feet long by 30
feet wide, which will have a gangs
known as the Scotch gang, similar to
the one lately destroyed by fire at the

No small degree of courage, or expe

of the war by any battery. On the
morning of the 18th, while was with

tant about five hundred yards, and
about the same distance Immediately
in front of our artillery, federal baG-
terry advanced at full speed, and there,
in an open field, halt. The artillery
men at once took out their horses and
sent them to the rear. as much as to
say We have come to stay This was
within full view and within easy reach
OF our forty pieces. AS quick as the
horses were starting back every man
of that battery was seen digging, yet
could hardly think they were in
earnest, for was satisfied that if our
battery would but once open on them
not man could escape. Presently
our artillery opened, and as soon as the
smoke cleared off could see that dig
ging with desperate energy was kept
UP by the survivors. Death and de-
struction, thought, would be the pOr-
ton of the battery and its brave de-
Tenders, for it appeared at times as if
their very caissons were literally COW
cred with bursting shells, yet, strange
to say, few gallant fellows survived
the attack of the forty field pieces, and
amid showers of shot and shell, sue
ceeded in throwing up tolerably secure
works. They came to stay aud they
did remain. This was the bravest act
of the war, and in tue hope that may
