Crrcs as follows rs 20 the formation OF
rain. Each particle u dust IN the aimos.
phrfe is a solid body When the tempe
nature is reduced, the molecules OF
yapor attach themselves TO the surface
OF particles Of dust as do the drops OF
water upon a pitcher OF cold water on a
hot summer DAY. When a sufficient
amount OF vapor has gathered upon this
dust center, Il begins to descend, and
gathers TO itself more moisture on the
way. The first stage OF the formation
OF raindrop Is a cloud, composed OF
dust particles surrounded by films OF
water. Should the heat and dryness Of
the air below the cloud be sufficient to
evaporate the moisture upon the falling
dust particles, no rain would fall. Should
the lower air be saturated with moisture,
the dust particles will gather more. and
TALL as drops OF rain. There may he an
ascending movement OF the air for days
without rain. because the ait has become
dry and the yapot has to rise to great
height before the dew.point Is reached,
and then Il all may be eyaporated again
before Il reaches the earth as water.
According to the theory Of Prot. SAN
ford, the air is generously supplied With
dust.
