A SAD STORY.

queer old creature, Well. yes; thnt's 10;
She Ia a curious sort Of bird;
used TO see her long years ago
Before her hair was so white, you know
When she was girl Perhaps you've heard.
Her story-nos That's little queer;
But then you're strange around these parts.
She's always lived .dst over here,
Behind that hill where the sun sets clear
These fine June nights-thcre, now she starts.
She is going home, as shes sure to do
When night comes. though she Is out all day.
Just mark how sharp she will look at you;
She eyes stranger through md through,
While never glnncc will she throw my way.
As pretty girl as yon ever see,
Was that old crone forty years ago,
And the way she ever came to be
This half.cra2cd creature seems odd to mo-
But I'll tell you, stranger, the best know.
1t was Just this same time of the year,
In June, whom every thing looks so gay,
That big ship sailed away from here;
The wind was fair and the sky was clear
When old Knte's lover sailed away.
And they were young, and their life, s'pose,
Looked like great, long, sweet June day;
So they said goodbye as the bright sun rose,
And the days went on as oil time goes
When one that we love Is far away.
The letter she waited for never came,
But instead the news that the brave old ship
Was lost at sca-and never name
or those who suiled came back to claim
The welcome that waited from heart and lip
All that was forty odd years ago.
But now. MS every June rolls round,
This poor cid creature walks to and fro.
With her broken heart and her head of snow
That will soon find:peace beneath the ground
You have the story. stranger. To me
It's wonderful sad. It's hard to say
Why God permits such things to be;
But the time is coming when we shall see
His reasons, stranger, as clear as day.

MOISTURE IN AIR.
Why Rain Does Not Fall Equally in All
Parts Of the Country.

Parts OF the Country.
We have learned that rain is caused
by the cooling and condensation of the
moisture in the air. Bearing this in
mind. let us study the surface of our
country and see why the rain does not
fall equally on all parts of it, instead
of falling very abundantly in some
places, as in New England and some
of the Gulf States, and very sparingly
in many parts of the West. as in New
Mexico and Arizona.
The winds which blow to this coun-
try from the south and the east, being
warm tropical winds, can hold much
moisture and are full of this invisible
vapor of water which they have taken
up from the Gulf of Mexico and the
ocean. Coming to the cooler land, they
gradually become cooled. Their moist
urc, therefore, falls as rain, while they
pass over the land, till. by the time
they reach Western Kansas and Col
orado, the moisture being gone, M
more rain can fall. But the winds which
come to this country from the north and
west are colder than the land, and, as
they sweep over it. toward the south
and east. they gradually become warm
er; so that instead OF giving up their
moisture in the form of rain, they are
constantly taking up moisture from the
earth. 1t is for this reason that our
north and west winds are dry winds.
and mean fair weather; while the south
and east winds bring rain. For this
reason, also, the Eastern and Southern
States have an abundance of rain; while
the Central and Western States are
often very dry.
And there is still another point to be
considered. We already have noted
the fact that at great heights the air is
cooler. Hence, when a warm wind
full of moisture comes blowing across
the country and strikes Il mountain
range. it bends upward and rises high
in the air to pass over. In so doing il
becomes cooled, giving up its moist
urc, and passes over to the other
side dry wind. 1t is for this reason
that some islands, like the Hawaiian
Islands in the Pacific Ocean, where the
winds blow almost always from the
same direction, are subject to almost
continuous rain on one side, while ON
the other rain is exceedingly rare. This
also shows why California. west of the
Sierra Nevada mountains, receives
sufficient rain to make the soil fit for
cultivation; while Nevada, ON tho east.
is nearly rainless and barren. The
moisture coming from tho south and
east is all condensed by the Allegheny,
the Rocky and the Wahsatch ranges;
while that from the west is cut oil by
the Sierras. Hence, the great extent of
country known to geologists rs the
Great Basin-which reaches from Ore
gon on the north to Mexico on tho
south, and from Colorado OH the east
to tho Sierras on tho west, comprising
an area of not less than 200, 800 square
miles, which is nearly equal to the
whole of France-receives over u great
part of its surface an annual rainfall Of
not over four inches, and is therefore
