SCIENTIFIC POINT CLEARED UP
Size of Water Particles Now Known
to Change With the Age
of Clouds.

It seems rather singular to speak
Of the "age OF clouds''-oe "old clouds"
and young Clouds" yet 1t really ap-
pears that such distinction can be
made, and that the discovery, as SO
frequently happens IN matters scien-
tific, was based upon preceding mis-
take.
The conclusion was reached years
ago in scientific quarters that the
density of cloud was proportioned to
the number Of water particles it con,
tanned. the water particles, In turn,
depending upon the particles OF dust
present Later, however, these same
authorities ascertained that their first
conclusion was wrong, and that In
many clouds the density falls far short
OF proportionality with the number OF
water particles. Further investiga
ton points to the fact that the size
Of the water particles changes with
the "age" of the cloud. The clouds
upon which the first observations were
made must, it is thought, have been
old clouds, and in them the water
particles, being comparatively large.
appeared to be proportional to the
density. But the later observations
were made upon newly-formed or
young clouds, in which the particles
were small In size

THE sAUcY YOUNG BRUTE
Prospective Mother-ln-Law Didn't
Want to Lose Her Daughter, but
Why the Delay?

Mrs. DeGroff drew deep sigh when
her daughter told her that she had be-
come engaged to Mr.. Bodies.
Il suppose it's foolish of me to feel
SO bad about it." she said, wiping her
eyes, "but can't help it, know it's a
womans destiny to be married, dear,
and have always hoped that you
would marry and be happy. But a
mother can never lose a daughter
without feeling deeply on the subject
She can never help regarding it as an
awful loss-a tragedy. She cannot give
up her little girl. even to the best mar
that ever lived, without the deepest
reluctance"
But, mother, dear-I shall come
and see you often. And you mustn't
cry as II it were going to happen right
away. You will have time to get used
to it."
"Will I? How soon are you to be
married?"
Mot for nearly year. Bob thinks
that
Not for a year? What on earth
does he mean by putting 1t off that
long? don't elieve he intends to
marry you at all, the smirking young
snip! If he did, he'd insist on having
the wedding before September And
shall tell him SO. You bring him %
time, Clara. You tell him that he'll
either marry you next month or never
Huh! I'll show him!"
