When you are anxious to
know if the weather is to be
fine for your picnic or walk or
sail go out and select the small
est cloud you can see, keep
your eye on it and if it decreas-
es and disappears it shows a
state Of air that is sure to be
followed by fair weather; but if
it increases falling weather will
not be far off. The reason is
this: When the air is becom-
ing charged with electricity you
will see every cloud attracting
others toward it till it gathers
into a shower, and on the con.
trary, when the fluid is passing
off or diffusing itself, even a
large cloud will be seen break
