FORMATION OF RAIN.
Interesting Operations of Natures
Laboratory.

Agricultural Science
Man may not hope to assist nature in the
formation or prevention Of rain until he
better understands the details OF natures
own methods. The ideas most widely ac-
cepted at present as TO the natural process
OF the formation Of rain 60 only so far as 10
say that the moisture present in the atmos-
phere is extracted from the air by three
different steps-namely, first. the satura-
lion with aqueous vspor that Is produced
by cooling the air; second, the condeusa-
tion of the vapor into small visible parti-
cfes OF cloud and fog; third, the agglOmer-
alton Of three dToplets OF water into drops
large enough to be precipitated as falling
rain, bail or snow.
First-The ordinary natural methods OF
accom- plishing the cooling required in the
first OF these steps are: (a) the mixing of
cold and y arm air, by which, however, only
very slight amount of precipitation can be
formed; (b) the radiation OF heat TO ihe
colder earth and air and space, by which at
first thin layers Of fog or stratus clouds are
formed, which then slowly thicken with
time; lei the rise and expansion of large
masses or air; the mechanical work done
by the expansion simultaneously of the
whole mass may cool it TO any extent what
ever. This last is the i'm portant process on
which all our rain depends
Oeconn-lhe ne second step, namely con-
densation, Is molecular process that has
been likened to the capitalization of solid
salts from liquid solutions, although there
is too little known about either process to
warrant the belief that they are really sim
liar. Aitken and others maintain that the
condensation Of vapor, like the crystalliza-
rion of salts. demands some nucleus as
starting point, and that every minute drop
let OF fog or cloud must have particle of
atmospheric dust as its initiative.
Third-1he third step in the above process
of rain formation is the aggomeTation Of
fog or cloud PARTICLES into larger drops
About this there is very little known from
actual observation, and The hypotheses are
quite various. The hypothesis that among
these efticles some are larger than others
and, by their more rapid descent, overtake
the smaller ones and thus grower larger as
they descend, seems at first quite natural
and is sufficient to explain the fact that the
quantity of rainfall is an exceedingly small
percentage of the water that is visible rs
cloud and of course a still smaller per-
centage of the water that Is present
as yapor in the air. On the other
hand. microscopic observations of the sizes
81 the particles Of fogs do not show yaria-

DR.. NANSEN'S SHIP.
The Vessel In which He VIII Explore
the Arctic Ocean.
London Daily GraphIc

London Haily 6raphic
DR.. Nansen's ship for Arctic discovery,
which has been built at Laurvik, Norway,
at the works OF Colin Archer. a gentleman
OF Scotch descent. Is designed specially TO
Withstand the buffetings OF Arctic storms.
This will be effected, ii is hoped. not only
by its solid construction, but also from the
shape OF the vessels hull. which. being
much rounded and Tat, it Is thought will
enable the vessel to rise when nipped by
the ice. possibly to such an extent as
TO rest entirely on the ice surface,
when the ice by its presumed moye-
ment will form the means of further loco
motion. convey the vessel from the neigh.
borhood of the Liakov Islands, past the
North Pole, and eventually launch II on the
waters OF the Greenland Sea. Probably no
vessel has ever been built for the purpose
OF Arctic expiration with greater foresight
or care, or, indeed, OF stouter or better ma
teriais. In form DIR. NaDsen's ship resem-
otes a scotch buckle boat, only that it is
caraveEbuilt and rigged as three MA ; ted
schooner.
Both stem aud stern are considerably
curved, as in the buckle boats but by an
ingenious Arrangement the rudder will be
enureiy submerged, and both it and the
screw may be raised when necessary and
protected from damage in a well. The stern
Is furnished with two perpendicular stern
posts-one propeller post the other a
rudder-post. Outside these on both sides
are oolted cnrved-oak timbers, which give
the vessel lis whaleboat appearance. Be-
tween them Is the we'll ior both screw and
ruuder- he frame timbers are of the best
material, free from defects, about l3
inches thick at the keel and So
Inches at the deck, ranged in couples
squared, and bolted together, all Joints
being bound with iron. Between each pair
IS space OF about two inches, which is
h!led In with asphalt, so that if the outer
planking was chafed away the vessel would
still remain water tight Above the frame
timbers are placed two keelsons, one seven
teen lhehes and the other twelve inches in
height, both being bolted together TO the
timbers aud keel. which latter is in two
pieces, composed Of baulks of elm fourteen
inches square. The stem is composed of
four banlks, fifteen inches broad and thir-
teen inches thick. bolted together with oak

BRISTOL'S WESTERN MAIL.
What Came of Printing 1nterestins =
Item About Spinsters.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Communications have lately been pour
| ing in in extraordinary numbers upon the
two youths who act respectively as post
master and poStmastef's clerk at the post
office in Bristol. These missives were from
many lone bachelors in the far West, desir-
ing tie postal officials to procure for them
the names and addresses, and. if possible,
without regard TO cost, the photographs of
some of the many maidens OF whom these
same bachelors understand the population
of the town is chiefly composed.
A story concerning the astounding num-
bers of maldens of an uncertain age who
resided on certain street and within the
confines of one short Squafe in Bristol had
appeared in the Record. aud the cause Of
the influx was at once explaned. This arti-
Gle had been circulated far and near in the
Record and copied from il, and thence from
one paper to another, until the fame of that
Bristol square was widespread. Many q
lone bachelor. sitting partneTless by some
Western hearth, devoared the lines eagerly
until their meaning so grew upon him that
he could stand it no longer. but poured
| forth his desires for wife 10 comfort that
loneliness TO the Bristol Postmaster.
The Bristol P0stoffice is a modest institu-
| ton, and was at first so embarrassed by
/ these appeals that IL knew rot what to do
| bat, finally. rejecting upon the wTetched-
ness OF those lone Western bachelors, Its
| that it bethought itself of taking the matter
| i'm hand u pon consideration il was de-
| cided TO post the letters in some place not
| conspicuous, but whera the searching eye
Of the Bristol spinster would pefehance
light upon them. For Soma time after the
posting of these letters the Bristol maidt ns
1 had much need of stamps, etc, and
| dropped in at the P0stofiiee for every mail.
| In the course OF few weeks there
| was such an increase in the Western mail
coming to Bristol that an additional bag
| had 10 be provided for its accommodation
| At mail time a continuous line of bashful
| spinsters from the street in question was
/ observed entering with expeetant faces and
] issuing With either bluShes or with Slghs.
| The residents OF Bristo! know not how IL
| account for the presence of such innumer-
/ able hosts of minated maldens, unless 1t bs
/ that the buildings on the street, IN so many
| cases resembling with their portie0s and
/ frieZes the temple of Diana, have insrited

MOLTKE'S STUBB0RNNESS.

There are numbers CT good things in
the fifth volume of "MoItke's Memoirs"
which has just appeared. 1t is told,
for instance, that as the Kings birth
days successiyelY approached there used
to be bets among the officers and the
general staff as to how many words Moltke
would use in proposing the toast Of the
day. Some backed nine-word speech,
others put their money on eight words.
Moltke's habit was to say. ''To the health
of his Majesty, Emperor and King" or
ITO his Imperial Majesty's health" In
1884 an oyster breakfast was staked on the
MaTshaPs not using more than nine words.
But, because he began with the word gen
