Result of the CosI Wave.
An unprecedented cold wave struck Chat
tanooga, Tenn, last Friday night. The wealth
er observers thermometer showed a fallsof 80
degrees. Snow fiurries were reported on Look
out Mountain and Walden's Ridge Saturday
morning, and overcoats and fires were needful
for comfort.
On Saturday there was a reduction of 20
degrees here, and to that fact was due the fine
rain we had on that day. The warm weather
which preceded and its consequent evapora-
ton, got considerable quantity of aqueous
duction of temperature, was condensed into
rain, which was so much needed, and so well
come to all-especally the farmers. The air
sustains moisture in proportion to its tenn
perature, consequently when it is warm, it can
sustain more than when it is cool, and when
it is cooled below the degree necessary to sus-
tain its quantum of moisture. a portion must
necessarily be condensed into rain or snow
When the air is saturated with moisture as
it usually is when warm, it requires but a
slight reduction of temperature to deposit a
portion of it. and consequently we have rain
when the temperature is high, but there must
be reduction of temperature before the vapor
is condensed into clouds and subsequently in
to rain. As warm air is generally moist air,
so cool air is generally dry air. Cool air is,
necessarily, comparatively dry, for the colder
it is, the less moisture it can sustain. Cold air
does not cause rain except when brought into
contact with warmer air which has a greater
degree of moisture. If there be but little
moisture in the air, it may be cold without
rain-that is, when the moisture is less than
the air can sustain at that temperature.
