DEW DOESN'T FALL"
!, the Editor Of the Evening Star:

Does dew really 'fall:" Why Is it
that it doesn't form on windy nights?
II, n. d.
TDew does not fall in the sense that
rain does. 1t is simply the moisture
that Is distracted from the air by the
rapid cooling of the bodies with which
that air comes in contact. Note, for ex-
ample. the moisture that is seen on the
outside of a pitcher containing Ice
water. Dew is not formed on windy
nights because the drifting air then
brings its own temperature to the
r~adiating bodies, and prevents them
from getting cooled as speedily as they
would otherwise do.-Ed.J
