HOW TO JUDGE OF TOBACCO.
A Hard white or Light Gray Ash Said
20 He the siGn Of Good
Cigar.

Color, burn and texture are the
three things which the grower of to-
bacco has chiefly TO consider. AZ
present the trade calls for a light
brown shade. which must
be uniform, not mottled. The leaf
when rolled on n cigar and smoked
must leave a white or light ash,
which does not flake off and fall into
ones bosom or over his waistcoat t.
and II must not "coal"-i. e., have n
black, charred ring just behind the
ash on the burning cigar. This Is
sure TO give bad flavor and taste.
The leaf also must burn freely, and
when lighted hold firm for reason
able time. II must have n soft, sill
very texture. glossy surface and the
elasticity OF a piece Of kid, so that 1t
may be drawn smoothly and closely
about the cigar. Flavor is not want
ed In Connecticut tobacco, for II
there be much Of II II is sure to be
bad. Perfect burn, color and texture
can be got in the northern climate,
but delicate and agreeable flavor
has not yet been obtained. Flavor Is
upon soil and fertilizers.
II Is desirable, therefore, that the
leaf be neutral, without taste, as far
rs may be. We get the flavor wholly
In the Cuban filler. To obtain these
qualities OF leaf is the problem of
the grower--a much more compli-
Gated one than meets the ordinary
farmer.

SIZR OF RAIN DROPS.
Exact Dimensions Aseertained by
u Meteorological Of
Paris.

The Psrls Meteorological Faideau has
undertaken the laborious task of
measuring the dimensions OF rain
drops, says the New York World.
He fnds that the largest are about
onc-sixth OF an inch, the smallest one
fve-hnndredth Of an inch. in dame
ter.
They are larger In summer than in
winter. and larger In hot than in cold
climates. Al the moment of con-
densation OF the water vapor to the
liquid state great numbers OF ex-
tremely small drops are formed in
close proximity. AZ they fall they
como together, and coalesce In con
sequence of mutual attrac tion, and so
what we call rain drops are formed.
The size Of the drop when II
reaches the earth depends ON the
height from which II has fallen.
Now. In summer the lower strata OF
air are warmer than In winter, and
therefore clouds are formed at a
greater height where conditions ore
favorable for rapid condemnation. The
drops falling from these high summer
clouds have more time TO grow. and
therefore become larger than the
winter drops.
In winter. as Is well known, clouds
often exist very near the ground.
The velocity with which rain drops
fall depends according to Faideau,
both ON their size and on the wind,
which makes them fall obliquely.
Other things being equal. a drop of
medium size, say one-hftieth of an
inch in diameter, may strike the
ground with velocity OF some is
feet second, while very large drop.
measuring one-sixth OF an inch. may
attain speed of IS feet second
