France and England. A few shots fired by
sundry Virginians under the command of
George Washington, whose name springing
forth suddenly from the back woods was
then first heard in two continents, began
stubborn war which ended only with the
fall of the French power and the triumph
of England and the English colonies.
THUS was a new situation created in
North America Instead of two rival powers
struggling for mastery one reigned supreme
from the st. Lawrence to Florida. The
danger from the north, dark with Indian
warfare which had so long threatened the
Atlantic colonies, had passed away. The
need of the strong support of the mother
country against the power of France had
gone and the position of the colonies in
their relations with England was enor-

ITO fully appreciate the genuineness OF
Rochambeau's character as exemplifed In
his American campaign. We must recoilect
that he was a member of the old French
nobility and the wearer of decorations be-
slowed by royal hands, yet coming here to
gain battles in the interest of advanced re-
publican principles 1t was not his own
country for which he was fighting; he had
TO intention of remaining here to share in
the prosperity which would follow success;
he therefore did not have the powerful
stimulus of patriotism to animate him. He

During still night when frosts oc-
cur the surface of the hillside cools by
radiation, and hence cools the air in
contact with 1t. The latter flows down
ward as long as its cooling by radia-
ton and conduction exceeds It's warm
ing by compression. Inasmuch as it's
cooling depends on contact with a still
colder soil or plant, 1t soon accumulates
in the lowlands as layer Of cold air,
which grows thicker during the night
by the steady addition of the thin lay
err of descending air in contact with the
ground on the hillsides. The warmer
air which has not yet had an opportu-
nifty to cool by contact with the ground
floats on top of the cold mass. 1t
spreads out toward the hills and is con-
tinuously furnishing its heat to the ad-
jacent hillsides as fast as 1t comes in
contact with them before 1t also cools
and descends. The formation of the
thermal belt seems to depend largely
upon this gentle circulation during the
nighttime. Frost may be expected on
low grounds at times when higher
grounds escape the visitations. and the
lesson taught Is that early and tender
crops should so far as may be prnctica-
BILE be confined to crests, hillsides and
mountain sides and later and harder
crops to the lowlands and valleys.
