How Clouds Are coIorsd.

The color Of cloud depends on the
manner in which the sunlight falls up
on 1t and the position OF the observer.
1t will be noticed that high clouds are
always white, or light in color. and this
Is because the light By which they are
seen is reflected from the under sur
face by the numberless drops Of mois-
ture which 60 to form the cloud
Heavy rain clouds, on the other hand
are found much nearer the earth. and
so the light falls on them more direct
ly from above, giving a silver lining to
the cloud, though the under surface ap-
pears black. owing to the complete re-
dection and absorption Of the light by
the upper layers. Seen from above by
an observer in a balloon, the blacklist
