Rain From a CIoudIess Sky.

As rule clouds are the reservoirs
from which rain falls, but rain has
been known to fall when there were
no clouds visible near the zenith, apd
in some cases when not cloud could
be seen above the horizon. In the
south A ,lantic it rained on one occca-
sion for over an hour when the sky
seemed perfectly free from clouds.
In portions of the southern hemis-
phere this is not rare occurrence, but
in Europe it is, and the greatest
known length of its duration was ten
minutes at ConstantinOple.
At Philadelphia on the 23d of April,
1900, at p. m. rain fell for twenty
minutes while the heavens immedi-
ateIy overhead seemed perfectly
clear. SINH a occurrences Lave bee n
known in various parts OF the world.
In his explanation of this phenom-
ena Loomis says; at is probable that
in some cases rain reaches the earth IS
surface from clouds removed several
degrees from the zenith"
The path of a rain-drOp often makes
an angle with the vertical even
greater than As degrees and rain
might therefore reach the earth from
a cloud removed 20 or 80 degrees or
even more from the zenith, especially
if there prevailed near the earth IS
surface a fresh breeze blowing in a
different direction from the current
that conveys the cloud" The above
explanation applies TO cases where
only the sky immediately overhead is
clear. He goes further and in refer
ence to the fall Of rain from an appar-
emily cloudless sky, when no clouds
can be seen above the horizon; cit
is probable that in these cases Of re-
markable rainfalls. although the sky
was free from dense clouds, it was
not entirely from haziness, which Is,
indeed nothing else than cloud so
thin as to allow the brighter star to
shine through it. The partial traaspar-
ency of such a cloud may be due to
the small number and large size OF
the rain-drops."
