Nc Cloud h at Rain.

A very curious fact is that a cloud
is always raining. Even in summer,
when the cloud over our heads is
white, the drops are falling from it.
But they are very small and they
evaporate before they reach the
earth.
In evaporating they pass from the
cloud-particle stage to the haze-par-
ticle stage; from saturation to simple
condensation; or the dry dust parti-
cles on which the condensation
takes place may be left perfectly dry.
1t is a general truth that when a
cloud is formed it begins to rain.
The minute particles of water come
down in millions. The distance they
fall depends on their size.
If the air the cloud rests on is dry
and warm they do not get far. If it
is chilly they collect in masses and
form drops of rain that reach the
earth. ~

meats In the basement of this building.
The fire leaped from room to room and
reared and cracked until the roof fell
IN and the flames shot fifty feet in the
air.
At this point the Kansas City, MO-,
ire department was appealed to for as
slstance and six hose companies and
two engines responded. The water tow
er from the Armour Packing company
also assisted. At 1890 o'clock the west
wall Of the hog building fell with .
crash. The flames burst over the bridge
connecting the storehouse with the beef
house and the bridge burned flercely.
The fremen turned their whole atten-
ton to saving the beef DUE and a
dozen streams were turned on to the
burning bridge.
notwithstanding the strenuous eff
forts of the firemen, section after Sec
ton Of the bridge was partly destroyed
and finally fell to the ground, while the
work of destruction was completed.
Finally the beef house caught fire and
the tremen were powerless to stay the
greedy flames as they ate their way
into tie building through the bridge.
When 1t was seen the entire plant
was in imminent danger of complete
destruction more aid was called for and
the entire force on the ground was
turned to saving the warehouse. In a
short time the building and contents
were saved and then the firemen con-
centrated their efforts on tn storage
house, which was burning iercely. A
heavy wind coming up caused the
flames to burn with renewed fury and
within twenty minutes the roof fell in
and soon thereafter the south and west
walls toppled over. But a little time
elapsed before the building was a COM
plete wreck. At 1850 the fire was
brought under control, but as a heavy
wind was blowing the fremen were kept
on duty to avoid any possibility of the
fire spreading.
The entire plant is valued at $500. 900.
while the estimate placed on the stock
ranges from $500, 900 to 81, 200, 900. The
loss on the buildings destroyed will
probably reach $500, 900 to $500 600, and
that on the meats, oil, lard, and other
products consumed will bring the total
to over $I,25O, 600.
