RAINFALL.
The Processes Of Nature by which 1t
Is Produced.

The Processes Of Nature by which Ii
Is Produced.
Rain Is, as we all know, the moisture
of the atmosphere condensed into
drops large enough to fall with per
ceptible velocity TO the earth. The va
ration in the sizes of the drops is de-
pendent upon the difference in the
height from which they have fallen
and TO the amount of atmospheric dis
turbance present mt the time. If they
fall from great heights the drops suf
fer gradual division into smaller and
smaller parts until they are at last
converted into mistS. In calm weather,
with the clouds near the earth's SUI
face, the drops are apt to be large
and heavy. The formation of rain is
in general continuation or an en-
largement Of the processes by which
clouds and fogs are formed. The dep
oSitiOn of moisture depends upon the
cooling of the atmosphere, but concern
ing the precise process by which the
cooling is effected various opinions are
entertained even among those who
have made meteorology Il life study.
In considering the matter we have de-
uuCeu our IcChOHIuSS ITOul WHdL Is
considered the best authority on the
subject. From this it appears that the
temperature Of n giveA mass of warm
air is lowered in the ordinary course
Of atmospheric phenomena by one or
the other of the processes mentioned
in the following: BY radiation to the
cold sky. by radiation to the neighbor-
ing masses OF clouds or the cold
ground, by mixture with cool air or by
the absorption of heat in the expan-
sion of ascending columns of air.
Whatever the process may be, one
thing is sure-the cooling must take
place before the moisture will collect
into drops of sufficient size to cause
them to fall from the mass of vapor
in which the constituent parts have
been floating

cent of the preferred issue. the full
per cent required dividend, and a sur
plus of l.36 per cent. The Frisco sys-
tenn earned something better than 5
per cent on its common stock. after
all charges. The policy of the compan-
les has been for the last year or more
to pay no dividend not absolutely re-
CURED, and to expend the net income
in carrying out the extensive plans
for the improvement of the properties.
Net shows Big Increase.
The gross business of the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific system for the
fiscal year show an increase Of over
$7000,000, and average gain of 16 per-
cent, and beyond the average percent
age of gain. The net made even a
better exhibit, with an increase of -
per cent. or $3,155,5S9. The Frisco
lines did not do so well relatively, the
gain in gross for the year being 90 per

of Steamers Transfer.

The report emanating from Dubuque
that the steamer Eclipse, running in
the packet trade between Rock Island
and Clinton, was to be taken to Du-
buque and operated between that city
ard Prairie Du Chen, Wis, is emphat-
ically denied by Captain Lancaster,
owner of the Eclipse, and at the head
of the Eclipse packet company. mo
sir, the Eclipse is here to stay" said
the captain. The business of the pack
ct line between Rock Island and Gin
ton, though reduced by the interurban
in point of the passenger traffic, is
still quite heavy, and is more than suf-
ficient to warrant the operation of the
steamer. Ii is certain that even should
the Eclipse be transferred to a line
farther north, it would be succeeded
here by another packet
Dubuque People Want 1t.
The people of Dubuque are anxious
to secure boat communication with
Prairie du Chen, the idea being to Sc
cure service of three trips a week.
The Eclipse is a boat of just the type
required for the proposed new packet
service. 1t is reported that for time
negotiations were carried on with
view to taking the Eclipse north, but
this idea seems to have been aband-
oned. 1t is probable that some other
packet will be secured for the line. The
distance of the proposed route is con-
siderably greater than that between
Eock Island and Clinton.
Boats down were the Sidney, Mac,
Ruth. Wannetta, Lizzie Gardner and

the south.
