The Cause of Rainfall.

Rain is, as we all know, the moisture
Of the atmosphere condensed into drops
large enough to fall with perceptible
velocity to the earth. The variation in
the sizes Of the drops is dependent upon
the difference in the height from which
they have fallen and to the amount of
atmospheric disturbance present at the
time. If they fall from great heights,
the drops suffer gradual division into
smaller and smaller parts until they are
at last converted into mists. In calm
weather, with the clcads near the earth's
surface, the drops axe apt TO be large
and heavy. The formation Of rain is IN
general continuation Or an enlarge
ment of the processes By which clouds
and fogs are formed. The deposition of
moisture depends upon tie cooling of
the atmosphere, but concerning the pre-
else process by which the cooling is eff
fected various opinions are entertained
even among those who have made me-
teorology life stady. In considering
the matter we have deduced our reck-
onings from what is considered the best
authority on the subject. From this it
appears that the temperature of given
mass of warm air is lowered in the or
dinary course of atmospheric phenomena
By one or the other Of the processes
mentioned in the following: By radia-
ton to the cold SKY, By radiation to the
ueighboring masses of clouds or the
cold ground, by mixture with cool air
or by the absorption OF heat in the ex-
pansion of ascending columns Of air.
Whatever the process may be. one thing
is sure-the cooling must take place be-
fore the moisture will collect into drops
of sufficient size to cause them to fall
from the mass of vapor III which the
constituent parts have been floating

A FALSE TEACHING.
That Mans CEicf End Is to Cruelty Spon=
tancity on the Cross of DruGgery.

That Mans Chief End Is to Cruelty Spon=
tancity on the Cross of Drudgery.
TIE Rev. Charles Il. Parkhurst writes
of ''Thc Young Man at Play" III The
Ladies' Home Journal. He asserts that
"it is play rather than toll that is most
germaLe to our true nature aud that
lies closest to the divine intention. The
care needing to be exercised rs to tic
quality Of our amusemenls must never
be construed into verdict against
amusemcnts in themselves considered.
With mcst of US the play impulse stands
far more in need CT encouragement than
it does of restriction. The provcrb, 1t
is better 10 wear out than to rust out
is true il form, but false il spirit. The
flowers do not wear out, Lut neither do
they rust out.
Zone reason why SO many people are
asking whether life is worth living is
that VIC are teaching ourselves that
mans chief end is 10 struggle and to
cruelty spontaDiety Oh cross Of drudg-
cry. We IRE not arguing fey ilidolence.
Indolence is as distinct from play as a
pool is from mountain brook. But
we eshall be greatly disappointed in heav.
Ell if it does not give great deal of
opportunity fer energy to issue in ac-
tivi.y that takes no thought and is a joy
to itself, and an experience that will
be sanity in heaven can hardly with
reason be criticised as limp and puerile
if INDUCED in before we enter heaven. "

The Boring of Glass.

Strong glass plates are bored through
by means of rotating brass tubes of the
NECESSARY diameter, which are filled
with water during boring. To the water
there is added finely pulverized emery.
It is said that thinner glass can be per-
forated with holes in an easier manner
by pressing disk Of wet clay upon the
glass and making hole through the
clay of the width desired, so that at that
spot the glass is laid bare. Then molten
lead is poured into the hole, and lead
and glass drop down at once. This
method is based upon the quick local
heating of the glass, whereby it obtains.
a circular crack, the outline of which
corresponds to the outline Of the hole
made in the clay The cutting Of glass
tubes, cylinders. etc., i'll factories is
based upon the same principle.-New

COLORS IN BATTLE.
Why the Soldiers In the English Arm.
Are .Arrayed IL Scarlet.

WHY the Soldiers In the English Army
Are Arrayed IL Scarlet.
The scarlet uniform OF tie British Ill
tantry has been greatly criticised III re-
cent years, chiefly on tie ground that
it exposes the men to needless danger BY
disclosing their whereabouts to the en-
envy. The objection taken TO the scarlet,
however, is groundlesS, and scientific
reasons are given why the prevailing
solor is for all purposes the most suit
able that could be selected.
In the first place, scarlet affords the
best attainable protection against the
extremes of heat and cold to which SOL
siers are liable to be exposed. The darker
The color protecting warm body the
more rapidly radiation proceeds. White
would be the best color to reduce radla-
ton to minimum, but white is barred
by other considerations, as are also all
the grays. Scarlet or red comes midway
between white and black or other dark
colors, while with reference to protec-
5ion from the sun scarlet takes far
higher place than any of the blues,
greens or drabs and other shades often
used for military clothing.
Yellow and orange are excluded be-
cause these colors are particularly con-
spicuous at long distance. Although
scarlet or red is more conspicuous than
gray, when the sun shines directly on
the troops it blurs Oh the sight and IS
consequently more difficult to hit.
With existing rifles the actual result
Of fight is usually decided at a dis
sarce just outside the effective range OF
the weapons This distance lies between
500 and 800 yards. Nearer than that 1t
is impossible 10 close without replying
TO the cnemy's fire, and as soon as the
return fire whistles about the defend
ers' heads the possibility OF aiming rap
idly and accurately decreases.
Therefore, from this point CT view,
it is unimportant whether the object to
be hit is conspicuous or not, but from a
moral point of view it is serious con-
sideration. Within 700 yards each sub
seouent advance is conditioned by fire
superiority already achieved, the de-
tenders are shaken, the tine for count
ing heads is past, and the mental I'M
preston conveyed By the sight Of the
assaulting troops becomes the man
point.
It is a distinct advantage that cur
men should bulk large in the decisive
stages of an encounter, and there IS no
color which enables them to do this SO
effectively as scarlet. On the whole,
therefore, every scientific consideration
justifes the retention of scarlet as the
best uniform for our troopS-StraDd
