ofthe 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 many ofthe Gulf
States, and very sparingly in many parts
of the West, as in New Mexico and Ari-
zona. The winds which blow to this
country from the South and the East,
being warm tropical winds, can hold
much moisture and are full of this in.
visible 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
moisture, therefore, falls as rain while
they pass over the land, till, by the time
they reach Western Kansas and Colorado,
the moisture being gone, no 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 warmer; so that,
instead of giving up their moisture in
the form of rain, they are constantly
taking up moisture from 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 reazon, 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 consid-
cred. We already have noted the fac'
that at great heights the air is cooler
