templating telling you now. Notwith-
| standing, we will see what is the real
| cause. AS cool air is heavier than warm
! air, the cool air rushes toward the warm
| air, pushing the warm air upward ana
| consequently winds are formed Cool ar
| can't hold so much Vapor as warm ar
| can. When cooled enough the vapoI IN
| it forms clouds, often with rain or SNOW
When the air grows warmer and warmer er
! 1t can hold more vapor and no clouds
| form in it. For instance. suppose the
! wind was coming from tho south,
wouldn't you look for rain III lew
i days? Yes, you would. for When me
| wind is coming from the south 1T is al
most sure to be chilled. and if it Is the
vapor in the air expands and may be
i condensed into clouds that yield rain IL
depends upon the amount OF vapor IN
| the air as to how much it Will ram OF
| how long. The reason our highlands are
watered so well is that when the az
! rises to cross them it Is chilled expands
and cools and Is then condensed into
clouds that yield rain or snow. Cousins,
YOU all must stop that old way Of think
| ing that smoke forms clouds, the sun
draws water in them from the nearest
| lake. river or the ocean. and that
! needles are stuck through the bottom
to make it come out There isn't such Il
! thing as the sun drawing water. The
| heaviest annual rainfall In the world is
said to be on the town Of Cherrapunji.
! place about 200 miles north of the Bay
| of Bengal. In Assam India. where from
| 400 TO 600|nches Of water falls annually.
