Damp Salt Before Rain.

Very few persons know that when
the salt gets damp 1t is either be.
cause 1t is too near the sea or be.
cause 1t is going to rain. 1t is very
hard to keep the salt cellar dry at
the seashore as there is SO much
moisture in the air all the time; but
In other places 1t is usually a sign
Of rain when the salt gets damp.
Things that help themselves to the
water in the air are called "deliques-
cent" and salt is one of them. When
water is in the air in the form of
gas 1t sometimes becomes too plenti-
full for the air to hold, and then we
get what Il called precipitation" or
rain. But long before water vapor
in the air Is heavy enough to fall In
rain there Is enough Of 1t to spare
to make salt damp.
